lol i do and i dont sometimes depends on how shitty the city's with the water that week, my thing is adding plenty of beneficials , they'll usually keep the pH buffered, otherwise you gotta go the additive or pH down route... no shame in that ! π

Gr.Masters & those of whom have many grows/chops-HELP!: This is my first grow; I've researched a ton of info/videos & using a microscope. I'm still arguing with myself. Cloudy, no Amber yet. Do I have another (approx) 2 weeks left? Looking for a little couch lock so 10-15% amber?

Thick canopy
1st time grower here in week 3 of northern lights auto the canopy is really thick and not very tall. I've seen others strip the leaves but they do that later in flower. Should I be worried or am I fine? What should I do?

Defoliation?
Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

Strip Her Down?
Thereβs very little peripheral light penetration as she is wall to wall solid inside this box, and now only 4β to the light. Being the first day of week 8, how far would you defoliate this plant?

Best way to tell when harvest ready. 2 were planted at same time but experience different major stresses and stunting. They seem to be growing at different sched as flowering is around week behind the other. Does early stress affect auto flower " clock "

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????
Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Defoliating or continuing lst only?
Should I defoliate before flower?she's really bushy down low and has some huge fan leaves which are blocking out a bit of the light to bud sites. Should I just continue to lst her and wait until the lower bud sites grow out more or should I defoliate a bit before flowering?

Can anyone with experience growing Blueberry confirm the best curing time for taste? I believe a strain like Blueberry benefits from longer cures of a few months or more. I will attempt to give it aslong as possible but it would be nice to hear from experience.

I've noticed my plant is pretty low to the ground like a cabbage. I started the germinated seed a knuckle deep in the soil. Now its starting to grow big but not too much upward. My lights over 2 feet above, 230 watt LEC. Is there a method to grow it taller.It is indica dominant.

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 flowering
I flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?
