Trurostarted grow question 6 years ago
how to deal with watering plants while on holiday? I will be gone for 1 week, 1 plant is in 8L the other in 20L coco/perlite 70:30 mix. They will roughly be 3 weeks into flower when i'm away, i've considered using 6-8 ceramic water spikes hooked up to a 5L bottle. any ideas? thx

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.

Should I defoliate during flower?Should I defoliate during flower? I have two Green Crack plants growing right now. I am in early flower stage and one of the plant has some dense foliage under the SCROG canopy that is hurting light penetration and zapping energy I want the plant to use for growing dense buds.

Defoliation every 3 days during floweringI heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Defoliation Trim Uses ?Hi fellow Growmies, I just done my 26 day flower defoliation. I have quite a substantial amount of lower flower branches and fan leaves.
I hate wasting anything from this beautiful plant so would love to know some ideas on what I could do with it?

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

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.
