answered grow question 6y ago
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 ! š

The last figure shows the topping plan i'd pick for this round, but i didn't manage to grow my plants this way. Better luck next time! Only now i want to know, can anyone point me to a diary that shows a plant that actually is topped that way? Thank you very much. š

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!

My growing experience is mainly with autoflowers and when it comes to breeders estimated flowering time for photo plants, when does it begin? If a breeder estimates 8 weeks, is that from 12/12 flip or from the appearance of flowers?

How much defoliation should I do?
This gnome automatics āforgeā is really starting to grow. I think I should get more airflow going in there but am not sure how to do it right. Is there some sort of rule of thumb about what to leave and how much? Thanks in advance for your help, it always proves invaluable.
