I noticed that the EC Runoff level is lower than what I am feeding to the plants? Is this a good or bad thing. Any suggestions?

It's a normal thing and it's good for you : it means your babies are eating nutrients, which tends to decrease the electrical conductivity. I'll be around, happy growing bro!

Yes the soil is absorbing some of the nutrients from the solution effectively filtering it

Hard wind almost broke totally apex cause of a heavy LST, fixed it with some tape and removed it after a week. Is that real bad or something bad could happen ? 😬

Defoliate/Prune or let it be?
Should I prune any of these leaves or just let it go au naturel? If so what should I prune? I’d hate to kill it by removing something I shouldn’t.

Plant is growing slow, maybe I'm wrong but I don't see a lot of difference since the flowering kicked in. Not as big as I expected. Looks very healthy and no problems but not a lot of evolution. She didn't get much sunlight the last 2 weeks so that's one major cause I suppose.

Any attempt at the ID of my mystery strain? It is either Sensi Afghani #1 or Barney's LSD. The smell is very, very weak. Mk at this time was smelling very grapey/fruity. This smells like a generic marijuana plant maybe with a hint of mint.

3 days from completing 12 weeks. The Top Cola looks ready with all pistils Amber & curled. However, lot of Popcorn buds still blooming. Should I wait for the harvest and let the Popcorn buds bloom longer. Will that affect the Top Bud ? Any pro tips for harvesting in a closet?

Indoor: Mid of week 2 of Veg I tested the soil and discovered a lack of potassium. Should I worry now and amend the soil or wait til later to address if need be? PH is spot on. Temp/Humidity: good. BTW, I’m topping and mainlining, LST mid next week.

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?
Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y
