What would be the best temperature for my water to...

902EastCoaststarted grow question 6 years ago

What would be the best temperature for my water to be when watering my plants outside in hot weather?? I read things that say ice cold water and others say room temp water. I would like to understand this better. My plants are big and dry out almost everyday.

They say anything under 66degrees can cause root problems for the girls and they healthy as hell do you have a rain barrel catcher ? They look so healthy cold ice cold is no good you want comfortable for your hands to be in it then it should be good for those roots.. have you ever thought of a soaker hose and consistency try to water early in the morning they need that drink to start her day..I'm in southern Ontario and my girls are getting watered every other day and bites twice a week and they are doing very well.. hope this helps and cheers go Canada lol

18c! that’s what I use every time! When you feel it it kinda feels cool to the touch I was surprised when I first started checking my water temps. 18 is optimal

Does exposing lower bud sites that were previously completely shaded through defoliation make them grow bigger? Providing of course the plants are healthy. Thanks!

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.

Auto defoliation Should I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.
