If I remove anything, it is while the girls are in transition, to slow their stretch some. Cheers

Since my light has the 3 options for Veg, Bloom or Full spectrum which would be best? Also if my room temp never climbs above 30 do I need to have fans in my grow space if I leave the door open for ten minutes every morning in the room with a small fan to let the air exchange?

This q is for my Candy Cane Auto. I know I likely should have went right into a 3+g pot, instead I used a jiffy puck and a small container with my medium of choice. I decided that I best transplant before she gets too developed. Will she be stunted? They are at day 6, all intact.

Remove lower branches
Would 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

Do you consider the moment you plant that seed as starting of week one or do you wait till the seedling breaks thru and start week one there?

Интересно узнать. То как я поиздевался над малышкой и затянул вегу, повлияет на качество и колличество исходного поодукта. похоже получился фотопериодный экземпляр вопреки моим предположениям. Родителями были два авто и папа фотопериодный АК-47

When to start defoliate?
When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

Got my Bluelab EC/ppm meter in today! Once I had it calibrated I decided to test my tap water. It came out to 420ppm, I shit you not... God wants me to grow pot! Unfortunately this is also a little high as I decided to test my ppm with my nutes. Note: this water hasn't been left out to evaporate chlorine or anything. Using the Dual Fuel x Terpinator schedule found here: https://mygreenplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dual-Fuel-Terp-Feed-Chart.pdf I took 1 Litre of tap water, and added the nutes for week 3 -2ml Dual Fuel 1 and 2 (I dont have Vitathrive, totally forgot it at the grow store despite writing a list.) Well my ppms shot to almost double of the recommended amount of 850pmm. I am really starting to see why many people struggle with Ntox, etc if they dont use a ppm meter and account for what is in the actual water! To combat this I will probably lug 5 gals water from the grocery store until I splurge on an RO system. Maybe even a cheap Brita faucet filter might bring it down? Tell me what you think!
