Thank you, @SubmarineGirl ! Could you please explain what you mean by "hold...down"? I'm guessing you mean more than just "keep lower to the ground"? Would a net then also push foliage out so it gets wider/bushier?

That's SO helpful to know. Are there any other consequences to supercropping during flowering like stunting bud growth/yield? I assume the window to do so would be prior to the last 2 weeks or so, correct? Thanks, @oldfogey8 !

Alora day 86. Took 10 days of 12/12 to see little white hairs on the bud sites. Now she's getting full of them. She's 31" tall now. Becky day 45. She's already 13" tall. If she doubles to 26" she'll be only 3" from the max height of these LED lights. Therefore I'm planning on training her best...

Then that's how I'll treat her. More cal-mag. I just doubled the amount I was using, and I am considering transplanting her to slower draining soil (though she's already in a 3 gal pot I expected her to mature in). I'll also have to take some pH readings to check if that's in or out of whack...

This is Becky on day 37. I've already pruned 2-3 lower fan leaves with these spots, and they're still spreading. The soil drains too quickly I think. It's not holding as much water as the soil I used in Alora's pot. I'm leaning towards a diagnosis of undernourished: more magnesium or calcium...

Alora day 73. I flipped her yesterday (first night of 12/12). Grew/stretched an inch in a day.

No, nothing on the website. But Indica dominant, so I'm guessing on the smaller side?

Thanks. Just ordered myself a pair from The Big Store. I love Japanese craftmanship.

Alora day 68. I fed her with nutes yesterday (slight increase in amounts from what I've been using). The super cropped tops have already bent back up and she's over 14" now. I have 42" of possible grow height 12" below the lights, so I could flip now at 1/3 of the available height or wait until...

Makes sense.

Alora day 66. I also super cropped a few high tops to even the canopy. I've got my cardboard grow tent prepped for Becky to continue vegging out while Alora flips to flower. I'm pretty pleased with the light isolation, but the true test will be if Alora flips or not. Anyone have any "rules of...

Day 59 for Alora. She seems happy and steadily growing. Nute burn seems addressed for the time and it looks like she likes how I'm treating her. The pipe cleaner in the middle standing straight up is my 14" reference to when she's big enough to flip. Gotta start working on a little light...

Day 57. Picture of the base structure below. I topped her twice and one of the branches that I supercropped has branched so now I have 11 main cola branches growing. Been trying to just "read" her day by day to see what she needs. Going well so far since the nute burn. Is it a coincidence that...

So I'm measuring pH of nute solution prior to going on the roots/soil, then again after via runoff, then this should give me a better estimate of what the soil is (i.e. somewhere between those values). And with THAT value in mind (between feeding solution and runoff) is what you want to target...

Here's the numbers from today's feeding: 6.86 Buff Sol.: 6.9 Water: 7.0 Water + Nutes: 6.7 Runoff: 6.2 Also, this is my nute solution: 2 liters RO water 2 ml CAL-MAG 2-0-0 0.75 ml FF GrowBig 6-4-4 30 ml FF BigBloom 0-0.5-0.7 After review (from the best of my buzzed recollection), I noticed I...
