The_Projexxanswered grow question 6 years ago
You can put them in the buckets but . The thing you wanna keep in mind is the root system . With that being said the first question you should ask yourself is will your roots reach the water in the bucket . If not you might wanna water them by hand until they do . You can speed up the root growth with many variety's of nutrient line ups . Using products like this will do 2 things , increase the nutrient uptake as well as promote mega root growth ! But for now i highly recommend hand feeding your baby if your going to put her in the bucket until she gets a kick ass root mass going . I hope this information is useful in your quest to understanding when you can use your buckets ! -Happy Growing!

I'm in the middle of my first DWC grow and this is how I started them off:
1. Germinated in Peat jiffy pellets (they come flat and you hydrate them into a cylinder shape)
2. Once roots were showing through the bottom of the jiffy pellets I put them in the buckets and hand watered until the roots were showing through the net pots. The nutrient level was about 2cm below the bottom of the net pots. I only had to hand water for about 3 days. You can see in my diary the plants went ballistic.
Do you have lots of bubbles from your air stone? My pots are bubbling very vigorously and the popping bubbles helped keep the clay pellets in the net pots pretty wet.
Good luck with the grow!

You can put it in the bucket now if you want, but you will have to hand water the net pot (and rock wool cube) until the roots are long enough to reach the water level in the bucket. Once that happens, you will see explosive growth.

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?

Defoliation HELPHi,
Hope your all well
If I'm to do defoliation in the 3rd week of flower but my plants didn't grow at all in the first week due to cold temps, do I still do the defoliation in the 3rd week or leave it till the 4th week?
Any advice will be much appreciated

Schwazzing sativas? Yes or No?Does it makes sense to defoliate (schwazzing) sativas before switching to 12/12? I have done it in former grows (indicas and hybrids) successfull but i dont have expirience with 100% sativa strains. Thanks for every advice! :D

Aplicar defoliación??Veo que ya tienen muchas hojas.
¿Me recomendáis una defoliación?
No me atrevo, ya que no quiero extresarlas mucho y frenar el crecimiento en ésta última semana, aunque creo sería bueno para que penetre mejor la luz.
¿O bajo mejor un poco el foco?

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago

DefolationHey all can anyone tell me when to defolate my GSC she's now 41 Days from germination.
She had thrips started at week 2-3 that's why she stressed a bit and bloom later. Preflower started 2-3 days ago, and now I don't know about the stress again or should I wait 1-2 Weeks more?

DefoliationWhat do you guys think about removing the 2 top leaves too give the lower branches some more light too come out? Would this be bad for the plant or would it be fine ? I’ve already removed the 2 first leaves that first sprouted on the plant and it didn’t seem like it affected it

Defoliation - AutoHey guys,
What do you think about defoliation? I’m growing two autos in one of my tents and they got huge. I wasn’t expecting. They are producing some buds in their lower parts and by consequence of the lack of light they are too small.

Defoliation technique?How many times can I defoliate during flower or how often can I do it?
Beginning of week 3 and I've defoliated heavily twice already but the canopy is overly thick again.
Will I stress my flowering girls if I keep the defoliation at every 10 days?
