The plant has grown a lot since last week and I'm starting to struggle with LST because of the numerous leaves that I don't find very important. So I want to do some research about defoliation which didn't interest me at first since it's high stress but I think it will be needed here.

Hey, I learned that when watering you need to water until there ~20% runoff but I watered little at a time during 30 minutes or so and gave about 3-4L of plain water before runoff and even if two leaves have popped I'm worried. Is this normal ?

Try this - I was sick of not finding helpful watering information for indoors growing ('lift the pot' or 'when it needs it' were frustrating terms I came across often) so I did a side project for myself to figure out average waterings in soil for organics all the below from my current grow: This is for an organic grow - no intentional runoff watering required, for synthetics you will need a slightly different approach and alternate feedings with clean pH'd water to orevent excess salt buildup in your medium. Get a small hand sprayer Watering in week 1 tip: Get a big plastic cup and cover the plants over like a helmet so you dont spray the leaves - I burned my first plant doing that. Do this every day when watering until the plant no longer fits under the cup. Each watering should be dry in 24hrs and keep your humidity like 70-90% Week 1 - 100ml per day, increased 20ml per day, sprayed across the surface of the soil and 5-10ml at the bottom of the stem in a gentle trickle every day. The trickle at the base to give the plants tiny root some water straight away. The spray all across the top to soak into the top few cm of the soil to let the spreader roots rush across the top of the pot to chase the water, you have airpots so it makes sense to encourage lateral growth ASAP Week 2 - 250ml per day increasing 10ml per day (plant should be too big to fit under cup this week so just soray carefully) and a couple of squirts at the bottom of the stem Week 3 - 350ml per day Week 3 mid week - 1 x 1L watering of the whole pot (I am organics) - let half of it dry (weight pot before and after) and then a 250ml watering on top Week 4 - up to 500ml per day and rising - about 100ml directly at base if stem every watering now Week4 mid week - 1x 1L water / 2 days dry (almost saturated) Week 5 - 750ml per day and rising steadily Continue until they reach max water intake per 24hrs With the 1L feeds, do it slowly, in 2 x 500ml sessions about 1 hour apart to allow the top of the medium to absorb water, and then the 2nd watering for the water to flow to the lower substrate. The reason for the 1L feeds is Im on dry organics and 1L almost gives me run off, I cam just feel moisture under the pots (fabric, 11L) so I'm not watering to runoff, but helping the roots lower down in the pot chase a nice big drink. It am hoping it also allows me to build into a constant wet / dry cycle, eventually I hope the pot should synchronize and need a full watering every day(ish). I try to imagine watering the plant like spring rain showers man, and a bigger plant will definitely suck up more rainwater than a smaller plant. It helps to know the weight if your pots wet and dry for sure, put them on scales if you need to - I did / do, thats how I know how kuch my girls are drinking on a daily basis ๐Ÿคฃ I also 'roughly' follow VPD charts to allow for maximum transpiration, my temps are also sweet at 20oC-26/27oC The liquid amounts were kinda based on fractions of the pot too, my 1L feeds are like 10% of the pot, increase or decrease your waterings in proportion based on the size of the pot in the early days, I dont water to runoff cause I'm not synthetic. The above is now my baseline watering guide.

I'm growing synthetic in soil and it feels really cold but not really moist this evening. Last time I watered was yesterday. Should I be worried?

Find something to get her raised off the floor if she isnt, so that her root zone stays a bit warmer. You could add a space heater to keep things relatively warm aswell but I wouldn't be too worried

I hit 70% of humidity this night in my growroom when I usually have 60% tops at night and a good dehumidifier is quite expensive. Any quick tips to decrease HR without one ? And if I can't, how bad is 60% average HR ?

Watch out for overlapping foliage or buds really close to each other (like hand in hand) and make sure you have enough circulation. Enough fans, like monkey fan oscillating from secret jardin. I'm in week 7 flower and the buds are really dense, in night time also around 70/75% and daytime around 65 %. In nighttime there is little evaporation so it should be no problem with a resistant and healthy plant. Dwc like mine is somewhat less resistant to mold because of the constant supply of water but i have none. The trick is that when there is moisture that doesn't dry up, then the molding process starts. The plant must breathe and release moisture otherwise it will rot.

It is better not to defoliate - maximum amount of leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum growth = maximum health. Besides, if your plant did not need those leaves, it would not have grown them in the first place! Cutting perfectly healthy leaves off and forcing your plant to grow new leaves seems like a stupid idea to me, and no doubt, the plant too! It is also better to go to 18/6, all living things need sleep, cannabis included, and besides, plants need a dark period during every 24 hour period to complete their photosynthetic cycle, as there are certain metabolic processes they can not do while the lights are on. A plant with an incomplete metabolism can not grow properly. The myth that cannabis can be grown for months at 24/0 is just that, a myth. This myth can only be recommended by people who don't understand how photosynthesis works or don't understand how plants function. Your plants will be healthier, grow more and be more potent when you go to 18 hours lights on and 6 hours lights off due to (finally) having a normal metabolism and a complete photosynthetic cycle. This is known as a "circadian rhythm" and without one, every living thing on planet Earth can not function properly. Hope this helps, Organoman. (and crusader against the 24/0 myth and protector of cannabis plants everywhere!)

@Organoman, indeed I always thought more light = more growth but I get your idea so I'm switching to 18/6. And thank you for your help on defoliation I understand it better now and I'm a beginner so I'm not gonna try it on this grow.
