Cultusstarted grow question 6 years ago
These girls are needing to be topped, but since i just put them into the dwc system should i wait untill the roots have reached down into the water? Or is the rootball in the rockwool good enough to go ahead and top them, so they can get on with recovering from the stress?

Hi @Cultus! In this scenario, I would act by priority, and give them a few days to build strong roots. When you top, you can remove as many nodes as you want, it's even better to wait for 1-2 nodes to develop above the topped node, plants will recover faster. If your goal was to top at node 3 [for example], you could do it now and take the risk of a long recovery time, or you can do it in a week, by removing a bigger part of the plant, but with a shorter recovery time and a strong root system. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hey cultus, if you're using a non-bio medium its much better to give them the chance to catch their breath after transplanting and do some strategic air pruning first. Think yields and a healthy veg time 🚀

Défoliation ?Je souhaiterais enlever encore quelques feuilles nourricière sur mes plantes, celles qui recouvrent les bourgeons. Mais j'ai peur car puisqu'il n'y en a déjà plus beaucoup, je ne voudrais pas stresser mes plantes à ce stade de la floraison. Qu'est ce que vous en pensez ?Week 9

Defoliation soon after SupercroppingI am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.
