As soon as you are able to. This is the best way posible and will prove to give you the best results.

That depends on how tight is your node spacing. Best answer is "as soon as you can", I do it at the 4th week, because of how tight my node spacing is.

5 gallon pot, in middle of 4th week veg, roots already starting to come out the bottom drain holes! Should I be worried about binding? I thought 5 gal would be more than enough for the whole grow? What happens if too much root comes out the drain hole, do I clip it back?Week 3

These girls are needing to be topped, but since i just put them into the dwc system should i wait untill the roots have reached down into the water? Or is the rootball in the rockwool good enough to go ahead and top them, so they can get on with recovering from the stress?Week 1

Defoliation - 5th week floweringHeey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high6y ago

Plants are 2 weeks old, approx 2 inches (5cm) tall in 3 gallon (11.5L) pots. I'm watering them with 1/2 cup (125ml) twice a day, and only around the base of the plants. Should I be watering 1 cup once a day? Am I under-watering? Do they need more water than what they're getting?Week 2

defoliate during floweringI defoliated the girls a week before I flipped. Now they are on their first week 12/12 cycle. The bushyness has bounced back right up and it's touching each other. should I leave it till flowering day 21 or cut back now, but I'm worry it will stunt any growth?Techniques. Defoliation
