Yo! Need advice on what could cause a major PH differential between the nutrient solution and the runoff. I'm making my usual 70 litre bucket up and not adding any PH down. Feeding 1.6ec and 6.4 ph the runoff is measuring in at 1.8ec (good). 5.2ph (bad). Why?? Each fed over 20L.

Hey ICP, what happened is the salt build up has made the coco coir acidic especially when it's dry, try keeping it more moist maybe ? Either that or just keep doing what you're doing until it stabilises and it cant buffer itself out. Hope this helps ! by the congrats on a rocking harvest 🚀

Cut leaves off?She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter?
Thanks.

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?

Remove lower branchesWould it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

Did I over-defoliate these? Are they looking healthy for day 22 or so of flower?This is my first grow. I know my plants have a shape problem, I didn't know about LST during veg and wasn't taking it seriously (I tried to train one but it was too late as you can see). They had a very rough veg life but now they seem happy in stable conditions. How do I look?

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?
