Clones: trim the leaves horizontal or no?
Cannabingrowinstarted grow question 2 years ago
When you cut a potential clone from the mother. I usually try to have at least 3 nodes, but when the nodes are alternating (why do they alternate sometimes?) VS two leaves stemming on each side of the main stem in a symmetrical style?
I also cut the bottom in a diagonal way why?

gREEn7o0answered grow question 2 years ago
In my experience most symmetrical plants come from seed or from main stem clone. Once you start cutting from side branches you will tend to have asymmetrical or alternating growth.
I'm not certain but I believe the purpose of diagonal cutting is to maximize surface area for the clone to uptake water and for the area to grow new roots from.

Organic IPMWhat do you all use for IPM? I got tweetmint, em-5 from BuildASoil & neem oil. I just tried a solution of neem oil, AGSil 16H & ThermX70…forgot to PH balance the solution so I came back & sprayed the leaves with a lower ph purified drinking water. I’m growing organically btw.

Preflower Faster, Finish Faster (Autos)I am in final flush (DWC) of ILGM Zkittlez Auto, and finished almost a week early (topped at day 20). I have lab-style grow room/cabinet that maintains humidity, nutrients, etc. with little deviation to schedule/plan. Will an auto finish faster if it can get to preflower faster?Week 10

Should I use CO2?CO2.
Is it needed?
I've got a CO2 bag, that I can pierce holes in and hang in my grow tent.
This is my first ever grow. My aim is not, at this stage, to get the biggest buds. Simply to get ANY buds :)
Should I use the CO2 on this initial grow? Will it make a difference?Week 2
