7 to 10 days. But I know people that waited longer with success. 2 weeks would be max I would wait.

Taking "Homemade/D.I.Y Humidifier" suggestions, What has worked best for you if you don't have the funds or additional power needs to add a legit humidifier to a grow tent? Anything along the lines of classic bowl of water/wet towel tricks, small MacGyver style set ups, etc.

Defoliation - 5th week flowering
Heey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high

How do you know or choose the right Ec for each phase of the plant? or how much to raise it in each irrigation? My range is usually from 0.2 to 1.2 ... it depends on the strain. Do you think it is more important to know the strain than to follow a table of nutes? Thank you!

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?
Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y

Should I defoliate that 8-top Critical (the bigger of the two plants in 9L pots)? I feel it's getting very bushy and leaves getting in the way of light for bud sites. How would you go about defoliating it?
