If you’re topdressing with wild harvest stuff, make sure it’s powderized cause it will increase surface area and allow the microbes to more easily break it down. Add about 1-2 tbsp and mix/scratch it into the top 1/4-1/2" of the soil, reapply mulch and water. Easy peasy lemon squeezey

wassup guys, how are you going?
I need a lil help to finish my light setup. A month or little more ago I bought last 8x solstrips X3 from Baudelaire but I still don’t buy a driver for these strips.
I was thinking on 2x hlg-240h-36a (version A give a bit more W than B and others) and 2x sets of 4 strips each… I also did a 1:10 scaled drawing for strips distribution on my tent. I’ve an 1m x 1m tent (1m²) and 2m height.(pls ignore “grow area”, I’ll do E&F and not will use those 6 pots)
Does someone has a better way to use this strips on max eficiency or am I right?
maybe some of you saw my project on Official solstrips thread.
many thanks

Buy the 2 240h-36a. Run one in veg then turn other on in bloom.

maybe 5700k X2 strips will work better than X3 for veg, not?

The x3s have mixed colour temperature no? Mix of 2700k and 5700k??? So basiclly covers both spectrums needed. The reason I said buy 2 separate drivers as there is really no need to run so much light during the veg period. Using 1 drivers will half your power usage during this time. When you flip to 12/12 use the 2 drivers together and bang as much light as possible onto them. It will save you a lot of money on your power bills

I was planning to dim drivers to 50% at veg hehehe. I use a Sonoff so I can see how much power they’re draw 
I don’t have other space to run veg&bloom separated

She is looking much much better stopping the yellowing for now
I would go ahead and remove the leaves that are 50%+ yellow as they aren’t contributing enough towards her growth to keep them on and will help to see when the yellowing resumes. Being almost in her 7th week with a guestimate of ~5 wks left, I would expect the yellowing to resume in ~2-3 wks for the extra energy to fatten up the buds to finish up.
As for the smaller one, I noticed yellowing starting on her last week though she has less bud sites so I wouldn’t worry about her as it appears limited to just the 3 so may be just shedding what she cannot maintain but I would increase her water as the soil appears on the dry side

I haven’t good news…
I saw many seeds on my daughter and with @sk1 help I started to hunt male flowers and… when I found 5th flower I decided to kill her because I saw thousand seeds too… my harvest was corrupted so have no sense to keep her alive.
I have other girl on my tent, she’s in 12/12h since she born because I was flowering my main plant when she came out from soil so I don’t know exactly how many days she’s in flowering.
I watered her today

Oh no! That really sucks though it tends to be pretty common with bag seed. On the bright side, you still have this other girl just keep an eye on her for those darn nanners…take a look at the Bohdi Co-Op Preservation project and see if there is something there you would like to try and practice with

Everyone involved with the project is in different stages of production…most won’t be ready until the spring though worth considering now so when they are available, you will receive it/them for just the cost of shipping…this will allow you to have great genetics to practice and play with while knowing what to expect taking some of the stress out of learning and able to free up some money to buy the needed equipment - just something to consider

Hear @MomOnTheRun !
Go and grab some seeds bro ! Save some for later.
Really good genetics out there, life is too short to grow bad weed

Hi all, after a break I’m back here
I’ve finished my EBB & Flow system 02/17 and my clones started to veg.
I’m using 50L water reservoir and nuts GH flora series
20ml flora bloom + 10ml flora micro + 10ml silica
two clones I put on pot almost 2 days ago only and you can see dif on pics
she’s a clone from OG Kush that my friend gave me and I veg on soil for almost 2 months and I cutted her off and did clones using all branches.
