Can safely snip at least 5 or 6 of the big, top leaves.. leaving the little ones to grow out again :)

Three a Light Book
Alguien leyó o probó la técnica desarrollada en el libre Three a Light? Qué le pareció y si le dio resultado al aplicarla, sobre todo el desguace. Me gustaría también si alguien tiene alguna recomendación para este cultivo que estoy haciendo actualmente! Buenos Humos! abrazo!

Has anybody had any luck and/or experience with those RapidLED Far Red Initiator Pucks? https://www.rapidled.com/far-red-initiator-puck/ I'm gonna be growing autos primarily, so not looking to recreate the Emerson Effect, but rather just accelerate growth.

Wondering when to add nutrients in coco? I heard after 3rd set of leaves. Some people say after 1st set. I use reverse osmosis with a mineralization filter although I have no idea what minerals are in there. My EC meter did not work when I received it.

I'm thinking about topping my Dr. Grinspoon in order to keep her in a short height from 60cm. But im worrying about the time she needs to recover from topping, which is important time for her very long flowering period. What would you recommend? Topping or any tips on better LST?

So as I approach late flower, I am confused about flushing... This plant is supposed to flower 8 weeks. Do I flush at the end of week 6, or at the end of week 8? The harvest would then be pushed until week 10 as I am planning to flush for 2 weeks.

Have you ran into any strains that have tossed some bananas late in flower? Did it ever seed your plant or was it sterile pollen? I have not seen any seeds yet and did manage to save some pollen from pulling them out. Has anyone else messed around with Fem Pollen?
