This is a good time to LST or need to wait a little more? I’m confused if let grow natural or LST. What do you think? Thanks

Hi Tom, great question, thing is that because you're on 12/12, pre-flowers are already showing, so the plant is starting to get stiff/hard already ! I cant choose for you to LST or not, but what I can say is that you should do it very soon otherwise the plant will be too stiff and the LST might negatively affect yield . Natural is nice, usually it works well and it's no trouble at all. LST is a longterm engagement, you have to fix it up every few days and follow the plant, but it can really help on the final yield. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Why is the Tonic Ryder so much smaller than the GG#4 even though i started them on the same day in the same earth? Is it a function of the different genetics or am I screwing up?

I am running a 65 litre buppleponic & dwc system with flora series nutrients. My question is, at what stage should I consider flushing the plant to reduce nutrient uptake before harvest? I have read anything from 1 week to 3 days. Thanks in advance.

I’m doing an early harvest of 2 plants. I wanted to dry the buds in the tent, with the remaining 5 plants, as I don’t have any other air conditioned location in the house. There is a dark space above the lights. 25c & 45% RH atm. Is it a viable idea? Or should I just never do it?

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

Ive noticed that during winter I only need to water the plants once a week or so. Is that OK for a SpaceBucket with a ufo led? What's better? several small waterings or a big one once a week? Im using 1,25L a week, should I try to break that quantity to 2 waterings?

To prune or not to prune?I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
