How long does it take for fine dolomite lime to be...
DWCHCanswered grow question 5 years ago
Anytime you water there will be leeching. So yes you'll lose some and some will get used and stored by any mycorrhiza that's there... The bulk of it will be working in cation land in he soil and some will get absorbed by the plant.. the mycorrhiza are the best way to get the calcium into the plant, that's assuming you used calcitic lime and not dolomitic lime... For organic alternatives, washed and powdered oyster shells work great, they also contain trace elements as well..
if you don't mind using base salts, calcium nitrate is a great source of calcium in solution, just watch the pH, it can be quite acidic and will lower it.. a small amount of Epsom salt with a pinch of chelated iron and you've got yourself a CalMag. Cheers!

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Removing big fan leavesLast night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?Week 13

Autoflower defoliateShould I be defoliating? With her being an autoflower I read you should leave them alone but she just keeps on making new buds at the bottom of the plant. Should I remove a few to help the canopy above or just let her do her stuff?

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light.
I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done?
Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily?
Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

I've read a bit on the different techniques people use to promote more growth as the plant gets bigger and was wondering if I should be doing the same. Would just love some clarification here as some people are saying to leave it alone, while others are saying the opposite.

Flowering Defoliation QuestionHey All,
I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.
