I'm trying to find some information on whether or not we should keep the plant in 24-72 hours of darkness before harvest. Some people say yes, some say no, I was wondering what the community thought and practiced.

Fast Buds recommend early doses of Cal Mag for the Zkittelz Auto and a heavier feeding regime - how early do we add Cal Mag and what strength nutes do we start at and go up to? Thank you in advance for any help or advice :)

I'm curious I've been flushing her out, the guy at the grow store is trying to get me to use a bloom booster right now. Doesn't make sense to me. But I do want the best result. Do I let her go? It give her a boost? Thanks!

My new lights has a veg and bloom switch for different spectrum, i was thinking of switching off the grow spectrum 2 weeks prior to harvest to simulate the sun being farther at late season , what do you guys think about that? Am i just waisting lights or is it worth the try?

Asking all the Green Buzz Liquid growers: What experience did you make with clean fruits? Is it required to use clean fruits with flushing or is it okay just to water the girls with that additive without producing drain? I mean, normally no need to flush organic nutes, right? 😁

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here
Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

I think my Auto plants are slow. Tried to fix the temperature and humidity (28°C - 50%) but still a bit high temperature. Is that normal? How can I speed things up a bit? Should I start cropping at the seccond nod?
