New Grower My first autos

[Eyes on Fire]

well when I worry about light penetration,no matter what light Im using in all honesty,I tuck if I can,and then ill start taking finger off of the leaf but not the whole leaf just to open up the bud formation underneath to some light,and then if its really dark lower down ill tend to take a few leaves.I personally dont recommend it to a new grower but just tuck as best as you can or take single fingers off of the leaf.thats what I do and it works really well.just dont get overly carried away is all.

or to avoid most all of that you can LST or Scrog them babies up.plus it'll keep any height issues in check and improve your lighting lower on the plant.:Sharing One:

edit LOL!! thats always funny when ppl post at the same time LOL!

lol There's no "right" way to do it! Lots of personal prefernce comes in when deciding the best method for your situation. And depends on how brave/adventurous the grower is.

All we can do is offer the options and help where needed

I agree that Leaf tucking is a nice gentle way to get light to budsites!

Like mentioned, AE is a large plant, Id consider adding another light (some good cheap ones available for under 200) or just doing a single plant....

The plan was to grow 1 but if I fuk one up I have one more, just in case. I don't have money to buy smaller pots, 10L maybe, to controll them abit... how can I afort another light?

So .... I have decide to grow just 1 and stop dicking around. Hope monday the AX will arive. And I'll buy some chains, I don't like a51 strings.
I saw that some ppl keep their ph meters in ph 7 some in 4 ... are bouth ok or what's up with that? Should I get solution just for storege?

You can store it in the pH4 solution till you are able to get some storage solution. No need to really rush it, but the couple euros spent on a small bottle of storage solution is money well spent. A little goes a long way.

Ok so this morning I went to the store to get some water and test It's ph since my tap water can't be used (aughful smell and taste) and I found a bottle whit ph 7.01. When I got home and trst it my ph meter showed 9 and started to go down 'till 8.4. Wtf? I was thinking to buy some distilated water and check my meter. Ph of dist. water is exactly 7? Good idea or is there some way else ai can check??
