measuring ppm runoff in soil can often be tricky , i would buy a bunch of cheap PPM meters (because they break often) and see for yourself, you definitely do get more control if only because you start measuring your inputs aswell. Hope this helps! 🚀

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.

Cutting fan leaves Just cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Has anyone tried growing in perlite? I know I'll need to monitor my nutes. I'm not seeing much difference than growing in co co except the co co seems to retain more moisture.

I've got some handymen coming over to fix things around my apartment in a couple of weeks time. The closet lights I ordered won't arrive until after they've gone. I was wondering, how long can I leave the plant without light? Ideally, they'll be without it for at least 36 hours.

Just a few weeks from harvest and have some friends telling me to harvest and dry with the roots attached. Can't find any info on this. Anybody have experience with drying the whole plant roots included? Their idea is to wash the soil off the roots then hang them upside.
