My question is what improvements to my basic skill...

Budcrackstarted grow question 5 years ago

My question is what improvements to my basic skills would enhance my plants general health and resistance against plagues and diseases. I want to learn how to improve health because of hydroponic aspirations in the future, where it is key to be able to react on minor changes! ;-)

Hi @Budcrack! I would recommend to consider DIY foliar sprays. In my opinion foliar feeding is an underrated topic, but a good foliar solution can have multiple benefits. Whether you want to speed up the growth, fix an upcoming deficiency, repel/kill pests or prevent an invasion, you can do all of this with 1 DIY foliar solution. I'm currently digging into this "perfect foliar spray quest" and found some surprising results by mixing humic acids, some Nitrogen fertilizer (MegaCrop), crushed garlic, liquid latex and neem oil. Doses should be experimented and adjusted, start with low doses for everything. If you experiment this please share your results with us! Hope this will help, happy growing 👊

Generally speaking you can add some beneficals bacteria to your tank , they will create a better environment to your roots and a better assimilation of the nutrients , and the fact that the beneficals are here will down the possibility to have non desired bacterias. An other thing you can consider is to add an air pump to your tank to have a better roots oxygenation and low the risk to have a root rot or any roots fungus. You also need to take care of your environment like your temps and humidity because too much heat and humidity can create the good parameters to a bug/pest invasion and bugs can bring fungus so it good environment = good health. 😊✌️🏼

Tops spacing My plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?

Excessive nodes and autoflowers My plants have SO SO many nodes. In my opinion they have way way too many branches. Is there anything at all I could do as far as cutting/pinching, some of them off? They’re autoflowers and I’ve only really found people saying don’t do it.

Defoliate more?Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.

Defoliate?Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.
