Hello. In the winter my plants don't grow as fast so I'll do another week of veg to let them get a bit bigger. > Trimming and pruning- I have found that the plants respond better if I do a trim and prune about a week before going into flowering (12/12). They get over their shock fairly quickly in veg phase. I'll leave them alone (except for taking the odd fan leaf off) till the 3rd week of flowering. So at this point I'll clean up the bottom of the plant of fan leaves and sucker branches. I'll figure out how many clones of what I want to take, and I'll set up some bottom branches just for taking clippings, just before switching to 12/12. My real flowering time is 12.5 hours of light to 11.5 hours of dark. That is a extra 3.5 hours of light the plant gets a week. > Air Purifier- I use a Oreck XL Professional Air Purifier. It runs 24/7. It has electrified plates that captures and destroys- bacteria, molds ,viruses and fungi. I've lost 1 bud, to bud rot, 3 years ago and that has been the only incident since I started using it about 10 years ago. > Warming the Nutrient Solution- I didn't want to melt my plastic 15 gallon rubber maid tub. I found a stainless steel waste basket and drilled a bunch of 1/2 inch holes in it for water movement and put in a aquarium heater. It keeps the water about 20 c. The bubble hash from last week. The biggest piece weighed 66 gm. Till next week. Chuck.
