Auto hydroponics

TOP plus LST. With autos you want to TOP / FIM above the 4th node, removing the 5th pair of leaves. You can check my Sweet Skunk diary, where I did just that. If you go ahead and TOP, do no do it later, else the plant will start it's flowering process.

Hi @hydroponicganja! Well, light degrades trichomes and their precious cannabinoids, this is the main reason why we don't dry buds straight into the grow room. But there's more: your grow room is probably not 100% clean, it may contains pests/fungus, and the airflow is probably too strong for a normal drying process. Basically this will lead into quick drying, you will loose potency and terpenes, or even worse (in case of bud rot / mold). I would recommend to build a custom drying box, that way you will protect the buds from dust+invaders+wind+light while keeping everything in the same room. Your box must be drilled enough for the air to circulate but not too much so the light can't hit the buds. I personnaly use a DIY drying box made out of cardboard, something like this - www.youtube.com/watch Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
