and right on Badrabbit. An experiment with a control is always fun.

can I ask what nutes you run with rockwool.. is this drain to waste or what? I been wanting to do a rockwool run with a few of my strains.. as a friend of mine said his did better in rockwool especially the 2 strains I gave him .
any tips for a newb to rockwool from actual growth.. ive cloned in rockwool but that's about it.

Interested to hear what high grade says, but I'll chip in ... been running RW only from seed/clone table to flower room finish for almost 15 years now. GH MaxiGro and GH MaxiBloom are all you need - easy to use, ph balanced, great results. The powder form makes it easy to purchase and mix on site:

I've heard Lucas Formula is also very good, but never have used it.
I've been experiementing with koolbloom in the 5th week too lately ... haven't seen a big difference yet, but it hasn't hurt.

Rula, about three gallons per light. You would think it would very with plant count, but not really.
JointOp, RO water with Pure Blend Pro as a base, Some Advanced nutes, always use silica, hygrozyme, cal mag. And yes, drain to waste. they are watered by hand, with a hose from a nutrient tank and the waste water is pumped out of the room. Funny enough, we haven't been cloning in RW but rapid rooters or the like. I'll try and get some clone/veg picks up.

excellent observation, i've made the same conclusion on similarly structured plants. have you guys tried rooting the clones straight into flower? might cut down on the amount of leaf you have to trim overall. for plants that don't bush out but grow viney like OG's i flower straight away after i pinch / or top. so instead of the stretch happening between the nodes it goes to the developing bud sites since there's no apical tip anymore.

if smaller plants are flowered there needs to be an increase in plant count, so really there is never a decrease in leaves to be defoliated. the canopy size remains the same.
Og's, with what i agree is a vine like growth with large internodes, is the easiest to defoliate. really though, the gavitas have such good penetration that we want to see a canopy occupy three feet vertically at a minimum. so no matter the variety, tiny clones with a small root system tend not to achieve the yield and quality we as a collective rely on.
although, one row just got replanted with a higher count and a smaller height so I'll post pics and see how that goes.

This grow must be in the San Fernando valley based on that style lol
What AN products do you use??, Also do you run any rooting products like roots excel or rapidstart?

ollie, i think the stripping helps.
roast, measured from center of the bulb to the next they are under 40 inches apart.
