• I was just watching the last vid about grow room setup. You were talking about the need for a dehumidifier. I have an AC in the room where my grow is and my humidity runs between 30~40 percent most of the time. Is there an issue with low humidity?

      Yes, you’ll want that higher for best growing conditions. Read up on VPD to know the best range for the temps you are at.

      • But becareful following VPD chart. 60-70% in veg an 50% flower is a good level for me. That’s temp from 80-74 the entire grow cycle.

      • Yeah, I keep hearing about that VPD thingy. Haven’t looked into yet. I don’t want to fool with a humdifier so I will find some other way to increase humidity.

      I like to treat my women rough! Acapulco Gold from Barney’s farm. I’m sure it’s not even close to the real deal, ja ja!

      Next is a tropical sativa from Ace Seeds. I like the way she is looking, can’t wait to flip the flower tent.

      Then I have a cut from the sativa in a hempy bucket test. She’s getting MaxiBloom and Recharge. Right after I gave her…

    • I’m watching a DGC vid and you guys are talking about supercropping. I don’t break the stems over, but I do pinch the stems between the nodes which fattens them up and stronger. Is that the same as supercropping?

      thx

      • Same difference. With supercropping you’re wanting to damage the internal of the plant structure and it will heal up stronger than before. Kyle Kushman has a good video on YouTube explaining it.

        • Yeah, I’ve watched his vids on that. I’d like for him to show me that technique in person so I can see exactly how he is doing it.

          • It’s not hard to do. I freaked out the first time I did it and broke some branches. Luckily electrical tape is awesome for repairs. Just don’t forget to remove it after a few days. I use both hands first finger and thumb, place them close together and twist gently in opposite directions until you feel the internal snap, then just move up the…

            • OK, you convinced me. I’ll try on a clone. Are you grabbing a node in each hand and twisting the section between them?

              • Usually once they’re a foot tall there’s enough room to just grab stem. Go slow and get a feel for it. Once you do it’s super easy and I do it every week. I practiced on my first grow. I was “gifted” a mystery box of clones. Dude popped seeds labeled nothing then starved them. I brought them back and used supercropping to get them strong.

                Hempy bucket test on the bench.

                On the left is Purple Power from MSNL in hydroton only.

                On the right is a cut from the Ace Tropical Mix #1 in 70/30 buffered coco/perlite.

                Both are being fed MaxiBloom.
