No I wouldn't, she's still stretching. No need to pull them off unless they're blocking flower sites or dying. 👍🌱

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

Defoliating FastBuds Autos
Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

How do you add micro-nutrients organically to plant? I mean not using commercial products for growing.

Has anyone used Kindsoil, from kindsoil.com, and what were your results? I would love to see a grow that someone used it.

Seems on my last grow I must have had a hermie that I didn’t see. I have found a bunch of seeds so 👎. I did a quick clean of the tent before this round, but is there anything anyone would suggest before I have buds starting? Spray for foliage and or tent walls etc.

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!

Found my problem, ph at rootzone was around 5.6 for all plants and the ppm was 600-1000. Very disappointed in Fox Farms happy frog, that is way too hot. I ammended my top layer of soil with 3 tbsp per pot watered in heavily. When should i see results?

Hi fellow growers.I was wondering if bluedream strain gains a darker/blueish tint if exposed to lower than 20 degrees. I know that it is great for resins production! What do you guys think or know about it?!

Defoliate more?
Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.
