What next for these clones?
I have always mainlined or done some sort of LST with clones. This time I've let them grow out, but dunno what to do now. What should my next steps be to maximise the amount of bud I can pull off each plant? Do I leave the clone to grow wild (I have the space for it)?

Thoughts on compost tea?
First time making compost tea, if anyone can think of anything to build on, would appreciate some knowledge. Already have a 4-4-4 mixed in to the coco coir, so I’m making the tea out of 🍅 fertilizer for calcium and molasses for sugar.

Does the size of container /indoor plastic in Coco coir make a difference in flowering?
I am experimenting with flowering in 1 gallon plastic containers. Coco coir as the Medium. Feeding twice a day min. So far the plants are looking great for 2 weeks into flowering using this method. My last grow was in 7 gallon fabric pots. Rootball was no bigger than 1 gallon.

Ready for a flushing ?
As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?

Should I wash the potting soil mix before sowing?
Going ahead with my first grow. Should I wash the potting mix before to remove impurities and dust particles, before I sow the sprouted seeds inside? The potting mix contains Coco Peat, Perlite, Organic Manure, Seaweed, and other beneficial microbes. Advice would be appreciated!
