If your not getting enough good air flow through the plant it may be advisable to remove them lowest leaves touching the soil.

Now is the time to clean them up. You can take a few leaves off that cover bud sites and will help with air flow.

Hey mate, You can but they will come off on their own. I'd just leave them. It wont cause any harm. Mine actually came off today coincidentally!

My plants are about 5 days old and they look fairly healthy. Would the following food be to strong for feeding from now? NPK = 19:8:16. Thanks

Just wondering what should I be doing next? Blue is getting too stiff to tie her down so I've been spreading her out more. Besides bloom nutrients next watering...do I just sit back and wait for harvest day to come rolling around?

Anyone knows why my pistils do dry out? Did blow some bong hits into my box and have some cat hair in the air and on the buds? Could that be the fault?

My buds dry up really quick on the outside to a crisp when drying and the stem is still bendable… I have no fan on them and they are in a cabinet when drying. I think I am losing a lot from this, how do I prevent this?

When a breeder quotes an estimated range for yield what assumptions do the make: 1. Is the quoted yield based on wet or dry weight 2. Is the range based on standard growth or do the high end numbers typically assume advanced training techniques, supplemental lighting etc.

Is it just me? Or is AN PH Perfect Line of Grow, Micro, Bloom really a bad choice for Autoflowering Hydro Grow.. I've had to supplement Cal/Mag and manage PH because of that. They should release an Auto Specific Nute.

Hi guys! The problem is, in general, the plant in the growing box has grown so much that from the lamp to the top of 1.5 cm, the temperature there is quite high, will it somehow affect the plant? And how can I fix this if I have 5 weeks and this is main-lining with the main trunk

When should I think about flipping these? They are just getting tall enough to be tucked under the screen. I was hoping to give it another week to let the small one catch up a bit seeing as it's 5 days younger than the rest.
