Hello Truro ! You systeme will run out of water too soon with the ceramic water spikes , It's summer (drying) and your plant will get bigger so will drink more during your vacation. The wicking technique is good (passive hydro) but you need to put a big water container for at least 3 weeks (math will helps). My better method in that kind of situation is to ... ask your bestfriend to do it 😂 , sound simple but it is in fact 😝 ! But seriously I would recommande you the "Tray" method , here is a link to ir : www.youtube.com/watch ! Here are links to tutorials : www.youtube.com/watch (wicking tech), www.youtube.com/watch (tray tech part 2) Hope it will help a bit 😁

Wicking. Get a big tub or container fill it with water and put a cottom string in it with the other end to the pots. It must be pre wet. After that, the plants will drink the water by wicking it through the string.

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

What is the best indication for me that she is ready to harvest given that i do not have a good magnifying glass to observe the trichromes? So far i was thinking that if 70-80% of pistils turn orange on a bud its a sign that its time to harvest the cola.

Since nobody has suggested anything anywhere what I want to know is this How do you retain the volume in buds during drying? We all know they lose weight which is fine but keeping the same size now that’s my question (if that makes any sense)

Can anyone with experience growing Blueberry confirm the best curing time for taste? I believe a strain like Blueberry benefits from longer cures of a few months or more. I will attempt to give it aslong as possible but it would be nice to hear from experience.
