Does anyone else get a brown film around the water...
dutdutstarted grow question 6 years ago
Does anyone else get a brown film around the water line in your reservoir? I have never had a problem using maxibloom but received Two pints of A+B advance nutrients. I also see this when using floranova. Could anyone shed some light on this. Tap water starts 5.5 ph slowly raises

HighTVanswered grow question 6 years ago
Doesn't seem like too big of an issue. It sounds like on of the nutrients you are using is separating over time and creating a thin layer over the surface. As long as you are not premixing your nutrients for too long and keeping a cover over the reservoir you should be ok from the majority of problems. If you are worried about this still come the next reservoir swap I suggest a quick cleaning.

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…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

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.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Defoliate?Is it too late to give these girls a hair cut? I’ve heard you don’t want to do this in flower stage as it may shock the plant and eliminate necessary mobile nutrients stored in leaves. Also does anyone have tips on an easy way to do this with a scrog net or should I remove it ?
