Looking for tips and advice for my flowering stage to maximize my growth. Growing in soil, 100w lights (2), using gh micro, bloom, and calmag 2.5mL per gal last feeding. I lowered my RH to around 60%. Just want to hear what worked for yall. Thinking of doing some LST soon. Thanks

Rh about 40 is ideal as your colas develop to keep them free of mold and mildew. Flowering npk ratio is 1-2-3. If you want much bigger plants in future grows and have more time to work with them as they grow I suggest going to coco/perlite. or even dwc.

When your plants go into flower, remove the leaves from the main branches to encourage the growth of the side branches on the node. At this stage, do not remove leaves from nodes with underdeveloped branches or flowers, especially at the top of the plant. Later, when the stretch slows down after about 3 weeks, you can remove the other large leaves to encourage leaf growth as close as possible to, or even in, the flowers. Prune the spindliest low branches, or those with much smaller flowers, because even with maintenance, the light will have difficulty reaching the bottom of the plant and it is better to focus the energy on the apexes. This kind of slightly violent defoliation is often criticised. But plants in nature use the leaves as energy reserves for the cloudiest days, which is unnecessary in a controlled environment where conditions are always optimal. It is more interesting to try to photosynthesise as high up as possible so that the sap rises directly into the buds.

Hi just do some leaf tucking if the main stem if it's stretching to fast compared to the others. And remove fan leafs of they are overlapping bud sites. Less is more. It's a good thing to do it some hours after they wake up. To start the day with a hormon boost. 🤛 when stretching starts I normally do a big defoliation or if they are getting to big. But you can control the plant structure alot with leaf tucking and defoliation plus light. And remember to let the medium dry between water when they are stretching. But they should get thirsty fast. Hope you can use it for something. Happy Growing🤛
