Warm greetings all! @Experimentgreen, we haven’t chatted in decades it seems. Nice to bump into you, and you know I respect your skills, but I am about to question a comment of yours that is commonly accepted theory. “... not cleaning the bottoms entirely and would get little larfy ... steals energy from the rest of the plant” I’m still uncertain about this practice. When a living creature thrives, I don’t believe there is a shortage of energy, and tiny sprouts on a massive tree are a sign of health. I think we potheads love fussing over our plants, but we don’t really need to. You said they turned out fine. @DixonCider asked “Is 21 days the optimal time?” There is no ideal time. Each strain, each pheno, and even each plant will respond in its singular way. Cannabis adapts swiftly and effectively to whatever torture you submit her to unwittingly. Enjoy growing and your harvest!

@growdoctordc, hey doc, yea I'm definitely no expert at this by any means..but when I first started growing I really couldn't bring myself to defoliate anything, it seemed wrong to cut living parts off the plant; but as I was encouraged to try it I definitely started to notice a shift in my plants and their flowers. Was it just chance that the plants I did defoliate ended up with more solid buds? Possibly. I think a lot of what happens is luck but some things actually work. Every grower has to find their own niche.

@DixonCider, Brother, have you another grow medium? You seem to run into difficulty with rock-wool. If folks don't have a watering system, i.e., drip lines,etc. ppl run into similar issues as you have. Just my opinion

May 17 On day 3 of not watering. Rockwool medium is still saturated at the bottom. I believe these were being overwatered before I got them. Plants are looking healthy. Check min and maxes on my temp and humidity. Min 15.5 degrees/ 42%. Max 29 degrees 88%. Not ideal so I double checked my setting and my light was on a 20-4 cycle, while the fan was in 18-6. Will check again tomorrow. May 18- set up dehum inside the tent at 55%. With exhaust fan off and dehum active my night temp is now 20.6 degrees.
