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! 🚀

Defoliation What do you guys think about removing the 2 top leaves too give the lower branches some more light too come out? Would this be bad for the plant or would it be fine ? I’ve already removed the 2 first leaves that first sprouted on the plant and it didn’t seem like it affected it

I'm in 3rd week of flowering and 10th week overall. My humidity had been steady around 50-60% during veg, but noticed the first weeks of flowering humidity has DROPPED, usually about 40% - sometimes as low as 35%. Is this normal? I have read humidity normally RISES during flower.

I'm considering topping her today, and was wondering if it's a good time for it. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to wait a bit longer? She seems to be quite healthy and growing noticeably every day. I'm in no rush at all, just hoping for best results as a first grow. Thanks!
