Only in late flowering , but you never really cut the nitrogen amount, you must reducing it while your PK ratio is getting higher. When you flush you cut the nitrogen ... and everything else

Is it ok to align the plants the way I did it? I just thought they could fill more space and be more comfortable that way. What do you think? Or is it better to put them all in the same direction?

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!

Any opinions on a dark period before harvest? Worth doing? If so how long—24/48/72 hours? Anyone notice any difference or benefit from having it before the chop?

Are these flowers good to harvest? The Auto Dark Purple Kush plants are on time, maybe a little late. They've flushed for one day so far and will give them two more days. Keeping them in the dark 24/7 with the final flush at 45% humidity. Thanks for the help?

More defoliation?
More defoliation? I’ve done some pretty serious (to me anyhow) defoliation to this beautiful lady and would like a more experienced eye to let me know if I should stop? Thanks to lots of great advice from here she’s already looking much better.

Should I do any more defoliation at this point? The videos on my diary show the depth and amount of leaves better.

Flushing techniques with organic soil. I hate chemical tasting weed. I have organic soil in 7 gallon pots. It takes 4.2 litres to have very little run off at the bottom. 3.5 weeks left of flower. What’s your best method to flush plants in the final weeks ?
