1ST INDOOR GROW

Reverse osmosis water is the best in my opinion but the machine cost a few hundred bucks so i suggest waiting to see if you plan on continuing to grow. You will also need to add calmag to RO water. I personally would recommend checking your tap water online and with a tds meter ( there like 10$) if it’s fairly safe then just use tap but let it sit out for a day to kill off the chlorine( you can speed up the process by aerating or boiling the water) i like to use distilled water for my feedings however because it’s completely clear so i can tweak it exacty how i want it to the proper ppm. And lastly if your tap is not safe use rainwater. You will also need a ph meter and keep the ph between 5.8 - 6.4 As far as when to water there’s no real schedule just pay attention to the soil if the topsoil is completely dry its time to water. This could be daily or every 3 days just depends on your climate and how thirsty your girls are. Once it’s dry give them a good drench and wait untill they dry again. You don’t want to give them small amounts of water daily keeping them wet at all times

Well now. I really prefer to use fabric pots because of how they give your plants roots the best breathing out of any pot I've tried so far. Your plants root ball will literally be the entire pot by the end of your grow if you use fabric!(plus the right growing medium) I see you're growing a photoperiod so I recommend starting in like a 2 liter pot or one gallon for the first 3-4 weeks then transfer to your forever home. I would go with 5-10 gallons for her forever pot since you want plenty of growing room. You don't typically want to start photoperiod plants in a big pot. You want the roots to develop uniformly and tight. Get the most root for the space you have! It's opposite with autos as the grow fast, you want loose medium and lots of root space from the start. Hope this helps.

If they are down low and not blocking anything i would leave them but if they are right in the middle or top and blocking growth then i would go ahead and cut them off so more light can penetrate through and open up room for more budsites to grow but since you are already in flower i would recommend only cutting one per day. Defoliating all that at once will definitely stress her out a bit, which you want to avoid in such a crucial stage. Next time try and get all that major defoliatin done in veg.

I would say no you dont necessarily have to have a trellis net to grow a high yielding plant. They do help dont get me wrong the support they give allows for baseball bat colas without branches breaking but I personally am not a fan of trellis nets. I like a nice clean tent and to be able to move my pot around if need be. Plus it makes harvesting much harder. I personally like to use the invisible trellis net, Silica. Silica will build your branches nice and strong we’re they don’t really need any additional support. Ive grown some pretty fat colas and never had any issue. I do however throw one stake in the center for support. But It just depends on your personal preference.
