Soil
LeastExpectedGroweranswered grow question 4y ago
If it compacts while you grow (usually from watering) you can top it off. Since you're not doing an organic grow topping doesn't necessarily bring more nutrients with it (say, if you were doing FFOF which is 'hot' and you can just recharge by topping rather than adding nutrients). Do loosen the soil in your pot from time to time..aerate it with a skewer etc. along the way.

I'm really close to harvest. I figure 7 days or so for my Northern Lights. There is a heat wave coming this week. I have trouble keeping my grow tent below 28 degree C and the humidity low when it's over 30 outside. Would I be better suited to harvest before the heatwave?Week 11

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?5y ago
