Light penetration is good enough outdoor, so there less point doing it than indoor where light penetration quickly decrease.

Wet or Dry Defoliation
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil? Before watering? After watering? Or does it really matter? Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?

Alguien leyó o probó la técnica desarrollada en el libre Three a Light? Qué le pareció y si le dio resultado al aplicarla, sobre todo el desguace. Me gustaría también si alguien tiene alguna recomendación para este cultivo que estoy haciendo actualmente! Buenos Humos! abrazo!

How is the girl looking? Am I being impatient? ( newbie over here ) Day 17... At this stage more stretch was expected as well as a more vigorous grow. ( light is higher than the recommended hight ) Watering 1L every week or so. She hasn't shown any sign of stress. Thank you.

It appears that at least one of my two remaining plants had been pollinated by the hermaphrodite before I removed it. Any tips on making sure I harvest these seeds at the right time to maximize their viability for future grows?
