Hello 😉 when the plant has developed its first 5 or 6 nodes.It is important to note that this technique always applies to a growing plant, never to flowering plants.

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)

I am about three weeks away from harvesting and have used the maximum nutrient solution for the past 5 weeks. Should I start using less nutrients for the final weeks up until i just use water for 4 to 5 days to flush them?

To defoliate or not to defoliate.
So, this is day 1 of flowering and my question is: Who thinks I should defoliate those four babies? If so, when should I do it? Note: I lollipopped their on February 1. See pictures of both moments.

Defoliation in late flower?
Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.

Defoliación en la 6ta semana de floración??
I noticed that the plants had a lot of foliage and no light was reaching the lower part of the branches, and some small buds were turning yellow. I decided to take the risk and do a major defoliation at this stage. Do you think it could cause any problems??

Hey guys, compared to other grows in the week 8 stage, my plant looks quit small and stunted. Does anyone think I could have done something better? maybe I was too aggressive with training or defoliating. I was hoping to be flipped to flower by now.

Hey guys, today I discovered a few bananas on one of the Ayahuascas, only on one stems. I removed them, but I don't have much experience with this, should I also remove the stem they were on, or I should not worry at all? Appreciate every answer, thanks!

The GH label states that the nutrient solition should be changed weekly. That seems excessive. How can one tell that it's time to change the solution or just add to it?
