Light schedule outdoor grow
I’m doing an outdoor grow and have 2 almost 2 week seedlings. I’m doing about 14 hours in outside sun then when the sun goes down I put them in my grow room under the LED’s so they’re on a 24 hour light schedule. Any suggestions on when I should put them on a 18 light 6 dark?

Hello! Does anyone have any ideas for how to space the trees under the light to be the most uniform when they get bigger? What kind of training would be best? What if they never stop doubling in size?? Should I PH balance every watering (goes up a little) Hope you enjoy the grow!

flowering fem lollipopping?
First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?
I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?

Ready for flushing?
It’s my first grow and I’m not quit sure if I’d already flush the plant. And how long do you all think I should keep it growing from now on? As autumn already hit and the weather will be cloudy and not warmer than 15*C over the day. ( Installed a light and it’s in an greenhouse)

How to control EC
My EC is higher then recommended or I'm reading it wrong. I have been told to add water to my reservoir to lower EC, yet with my well water the EC is already high. Can someone help enlighten me? Using a hydroponic circulating system (DWC with a top feed).

Darkness before flipping crop?
I'm getting ready to flip my crop to flower. What's the significance of giving the crop 25 - 36 hours of darkness before flipping? In the past, I would just flip the lights to 12 and 12 and introduce the flowering fertilizer slowly while reducing the foliage solution.

Is it possible to do the Kyle Kushmans Chiropracting technique when already switched to flowering?
Hi Is it harmfull to the plants to do some Kyle Kushmans Chiropracting when I have already switched to 12/12? I might want to do it in a few days when they have recovered fully from the defoliation. Thank you
