For the most part I’ve been letting this lady go natural, pulling the lateral branches down as the reach the edges of the pot to create two “rings” of even colas. She already smells like gas/chemicals/burnt rubber, and she’s not even partway into flower yet. Ended up stretching vertically so fast I had to adjust my lights due to light stress, she’s the tallest lady in the tent. Major defol already done, waiting for her to get juicy!
Your use of pumice prompted me to start looking into it and I think I'm going to give that a try next run. I used straight from the bag FF CocoLoco for my current 1st grow and the main complaint I have is that once it gets wet parts of it get really dense. I'm pretty sure amending with the pumice will do the trick so I was wondering if you do a 75/25 split on your soil to pumice ratio?
