As a first time coco coir grower what are some things to look out for or make sure to do?
This is my 3rd growing experience, my previous two grows were done in soil. So I’m
not a complete noob.
Please provide a good break down on the coco coir growing experience for me.

Dude - no reach out on this? I found it on a browse and I’ve been thinking on a Pure GSC strain for a while now!
Both ironic and Sweet! Will follow. Now with respect to coco - IMO it’s not much different from soil but I trust you’ve already seen that it’s got much better drainage properties. The key difference is it’s nutrient holding power in relation to soil as well as appropriate supplementation of the nutrients that soil has, that coco lacks (ie. calmag). As long as you supplement for the first month or so with calmag and keep a close eye out for nutrient burn (go easy/not full strength with nutrient formula for first run) it should be very similar to a soil grow. That’s the best I got for ya. Made the switch to coco myself because I like hand watering but would prefer a slightly faster growth rate. Cheers broski and looking forward to this one growing out!!!👊👍

Welche Teile sollte ich abschneiden um ein gutes lollipop hinzubekommen. Den Damen wird es zu warm und die Blätter liegen übereinander und schwitzen. Deshalb habe ich heute das Netz installiert und versuche jetzt noch mehr Platz zu machen. Ich hab schon jeden Tag 10-12 cuts

Defoliate a flowering auto?Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful?
Thanks!

Can I defoliate?Hey guys, I was thinking about going on a mega defoliation mission tomorrow and chopping almost all the fan leaves off my plant to free up some space for the buds. Probably about 2 weeks away from harvest so is this a good idea and would it help the plant at all?Other. General questions

Defoliation/pruning guidesIs defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.Techniques. Defoliation

Hello fellow growers,
It's my first grow so I'm a bit scared to start LSTing it, i mostly waited for it to grow higher and then do some LST but since she get bushier than higher I don't really know what to do.
I also would like to defoliate it
Can I start LST and defoliation?

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?4 years ago

I want YOUR opinions on MY training <3 :)Hey people, this is not an important question, I just want to hear everyones opinion on the training I did today (supercropping, LST and defoliation). Does it look good in your eyes, was it too much, not enough or maybe too early / too late? And what should I do next? Thanks :)))
