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

Defolation
Hey 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?

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?
Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

I defoliated and removed lower, small, shaded bud sites during the first 3 days of flower. Was it a bad move considering the plant is bushy as heck and hasn’t stretched yet? Left about 25 « tops » (2 actual main colas) with some growth right underneath. Did I hurt my future yield

In a weeks time(when my stretch is over)I will defoliate a few fan leaves covering colas. So... how much should I cut, fan leaves higher or lower on the stem and what effect will this have on growth and yield? does time of day or time in the watering cycle of the cutting matter?

Removing big fan leaves
Last night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?

Defoliation for better ventilation?
Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there. And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

What nutrients do you use to get the best root growth during vegetation? Do you continue with the same nutrients during flowering or do you change? What brand have you found to work best?
