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

Should I remove the side shoots from the first node? Although strong I cannot see them do much, I am not trimming any of the fan leaves as I prefer to let it grow naturally as possible but just wondering about these lowest branches draining more energy from the plant then giving

What products nutrient wise would you recommend for boosting my autoflowering plants immune system? Any that specifically deal with heat stress resistance? Maybe that’s just wishful thinking...

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.

Does tying down branches make a huge difference in quantity? Why wouldnt you perform LST? My plants are super bushy, at what point do they start to take off vertically? Thanks!

How much light stress can a plant take? I had a blackout for about an hour this week and now I'm worried that my girl will hermie on me. Should I be worried or does it take a lot more stress to turn a girl into a hermie?

Defoliation and lollipop
Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

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!

Tried my own thing on pruning. It's exploding. 4 main colas. 2 on the next node. Going to 4000w full spectrum led for flowering in another week. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. It's my first grow.
