Organic Runtz Auto Drip 💧

18/6 is optimal........you will not achieve anything by going to 24/0.........except a bigger electricity bill and a freaked out plant. All cannabis plants, autos included, NEED "sleep" during every 24 hour cycle for a correctly functioning metabolism. A plant with a messed up metabolism will never grow to its full potential. It will not finish faster at 24/0..........a plant can only grow so much during any 24 hour period and this growth tops out at about yhe 18 hour mark......this is a scientific fact, not ghetto science! People who run 20/4 or 22/2 or 19/5 are kidding themselves, all they are doing is wasting electricity and paying higher bills for no benefit. Don't do it!

you can't just fertigate as much as you want, regardless of whether it is some sort of magical coco or anything else. The plant must drink fast enough to allow for it. The substrate must be constituted properly. If your plant isn't drinking down roughly 1/3rd of the water weight between fertigations, you are probably overwatering or increasing risk of problems. If the plants are at all droopy after fully saturating the substrate, that is indicative of a poorly constituted substrate, and double for any multi-fertigation per day method. you don't choose the volume. you give enough to get the job done. If soilless, which i would expect/assume, the last fertigation should get at least a 10% runoff to avoid buildup. Simply time how long the slowest pot takes to accomplish the task, and that's your run-time. If consistent about repeating after an appropriate dryback, it'll requier a nearly equivalent volume each time. Also from what i've read, no reason to push beyond 3 fertigations per day. There was no benefit by comparison from an initial study. initial studies are not to be trusted, but in this case... there's definitely a ceiling for the effect and it probably won't vary too much by genotype in this case. Context makes it a bit more trustworthy conclusion So, with the correct pot size and a plant drinking fast enogh to allow it, it's a great way to do things. Just don't try to force a square peg through a round hole. Definitely don't pick a volume to give based on what your gut tells you. Use a volume that accomplishes the task correctly.

This is a sign of overfeeding not under. Give her some time and just water it should be ok. Biobuzz is a nice feed but don't use it below 6.2PH as its not recommended by them.

Timing is tough to recommend. If the plant is unfamiliar, it really makes a difference how long it grows after it enters flower as far as when to lollipop and not hurt your yield. You do it too late and you potentially cut off good buds, and if too early, you end up with more larf than you want. Don't think it improves your yield. At best it helps eliminate larf and hopefully if done at the right time, some of that is redistributed flower growth. On super-stretchers, lollipop to 2-3 nodes on each cola about 5-7 days into flower (if autoflower, around the time you see preflowers). If it's a regular 2x stretcher, lollipop around flip. With strong ligths and not over-crowding the canopy, should have 18-24" long stack of nice buds - not larf. Don't exceed 3-4 colas per sq ft and keep them level. Even the 2-3 nodes part of that suggestion depends. I consider how much of a branch has formed and space to handle it in future. I don't want moreo than 2-4 larger side branches. I use a scrog to keep base of plants low, so once in position i usually take off the first branch or two above the scrog and everything below it. leaves are small... did you defoliate? That tends to cause small leaves because all the mature growth gets cut off for no benefit whatsoever. Don't defoliate just to defoliate and you won't have tiny leaves. Like others said, i don't think there's any point at this stage for this plant picturered. Maybe if something in the central lower area is incredibly shielded or will cause congestion, so if you do cut something off be very selective. once the buds sites are forming, it really won't redistribute anything, if that is even a thing, so it'd just be removing yield.
