so by cutting a few leaves off i can get he to produce more resin?
when i multi top, i make my first top at five nodes, i top the top two after two node, and top the next imediately, making a plant that looks like ten, all on one stalk.Quote:

Do not have any Photo sythesist abiliities.. This is why the plant has Leaves. My self, I can care less if the buds get light. But I do like, my inside small leafs to get some light. But I try my best to never cut away fan leafs. I think of these fan leafs like the Bears fat stores for the winter time. When the plant thinks winter has hit, it will suck out what it can from the fan leafs. But if there is no fan leafs,, it goes hungry.
Just my thought. I am just another idiot trying to grow a plant. :stoned:

The purpose of the leafs is to photosynthesizes, so let them do their thing.
I havenâ??t found a single person who would recommend that, too stressful.
And yes they need the stored nutrients for when you cut off fertilizer near the end
What we were talking about is cutting the fan leafs off in the last few days, to make the plant think it is being eaten and have a self defensive reaction (produce resin)
We plan to test this thought out next year with a suitable sample size.
Ps- Buds arenâ??t fruit they are the flowers. Cannabis doesnâ??t produce fruit just seeds
And fruits, apples tomatoes grapes, do photosynthesizes when they are green.
Wow guys I am so happy to see that things are safe with that wire all melted, shit, that's scary.
Where'd you get those lights?
Is there a ground wire?
Did you have them on a GFI circuit?
What causes heat is high resistance in the line...and that can come from more current than the smallest (in terms of maximum load.. determined by material and diameter of the conductor) part of the circuit can carry... for example a bad solder connection or a pinched wire.
If the burned point is within the light, having your lights come on staggered will do absolutely nothing for you. That would be the fix if you were popping breakers, or were concerned about questionable (for example knob-and-tube or 1940's style aluminum, scary!) house wiring.
Problems within the light- you[re going to have to troubleshoot it, crap.
Hmmm what else... oh yeah! Calmag!
My girl Foxy was having major problems with her last run of clones and I talked to the fertilizer guy about it.
Despite bleaching the prop trays etc and using sterile tools, the slips started developing necrotic patches within days of coming off the plant, and this despite a nice mist of copper fungicide 2x a day.
Guy said that it sounded like a Ca problem and showed me his cucumber and melon plants, which are VERY heavy feeders and seem to need extra Ca indoors, and they had been showing pretty similar problems... parts of an otherwise healthy leaf just going brown and papery while the rest of the leaf stayed fine... weird.
Anyway she's starting to prep her moms with calmag now and we'll see how the next run goes.
BTW this became a problem when she switched my old moms to coco when she took them over. Very interesting. I had always assumed our city water had plenty of dissolved Ca in it...
Ima go repost this in her log too.
How to know if nutrient companies love you...
and
some seeds that just germinated.
my friend grew them cross : Columbian Red x Grapefruit
ps- Stinky, should the accutal socket be grounded too? My understanding is that it shouldn't as it isn't electronic and i've never seen a light bulb with one
the ballast is grounded
Damn another log to fall in love with. Those are some nice buds.
thanks,
ps
this log will soon become an indoor/outdoor log
the seeds are for the outdoors mainly
See that's weird; I have always believed the socket SHOULD be grounded! The Sun Systems 10s I have DO have grounded sockets, But my Inside Sun lights don't have grounded sockets. And YES I bitched to the owner about it. WTF.Quote:

Big Bud was missing in that pic Harris. lol.
Anyways, the next few months shall be exciting! We are intensfying our grow to prepare for our move into a house in the summer. We are eventually gonna tear down the middle wall in our closet, and make the whole area a flowering chamber, and do any other vegging under our T5. So we are going to be harvesting a lot of plants really soon, and putting a whole bunch into flower really soon! Exciting stuff!
3 plants are getting ready to be chopped, in eventual order of appearance: Dutch Treat, Mud Bud, and Champagne. They should all be cut in the next week. They were taking longer to flower than expected, so we need to check for light leaks.
