Personally I would wait a few days before cleaning the node, if you clean the foliage too soon the growth will slow down quite a bit.

Hi ! I never ever pratice mainlining but if I had to I would immediately clear every part which are not going to be a budsite to increase the development of those bud site instead of "parisites" popcorns buds !! 😁👍

so I accidentally re-vegged some plants, I had my timer set incorrect, I am curious what I should expect...I swapped them back to 12/12 immediately after I noticed. I believe my timer was messed up from about week 2 to 4, will they still mature but just take a few extra weeks?Week 14

Hello all, I am into organic or (natural at least) nutrients, I am wondering if there could be a 2 part resolution. Such as A- Fish Fertilizer 2-3-1 when veg and, B-liquid seaweed or seaweed powder 0-0-17 in flowering. And some of recharge. I don't want to buy colored H2O :)Week 3

Hello guys, I worry, not about the health of my plant, but the fact that it is a week late with the others. What do you think is the best? extend the growth of others by one week and let them catch up before 12/12 or stay on the schedule of others and prosper despite the delay.Week 3

Hopefully not wasting my question here. But trying to enter newbie of the month giveaway. How does it work? How do I know if I've entered? I've clicked the button but won't seem to allow me to add my diary, does it have to be complete before I enter these competitions?
ThanksWeek 4

5 gallon pot, in middle of 4th week veg, roots already starting to come out the bottom drain holes! Should I be worried about binding? I thought 5 gal would be more than enough for the whole grow? What happens if too much root comes out the drain hole, do I clip it back?Week 3

Panowie i Panie jak myślicie przyciąć delikatnie liście by odsłonić dolna partie wzrostu? Dzień 36. Jak narazie nie widać żadnych deficytów ani przenawożenia. Może podpowiecie mi co zrobić też by zmaksymalizować plon. Bardzo będę wdzięczny za każdą odpowiedź.Plant. Spaces between nodes

Did I remove too much growth?Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves.
She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy.

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?6y ago

Defoliating some moreI know that there is a difference of opinion when it comes to defoliating. I have removed about a dozen in the last week. I think it's still pretty bushy, but I don't want to overdo it. Finger away or better yet thinning out a little more ?Week 9

Hello there,
is there someone who have already used the Advanced nutrients in order to give me some advice about the daily dosage, particularly upon autoflowering sativa strain?
Moreover, with high room temperature (about 30° C) how often is it recommended to water daily? ThanksWeek 1
