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.

How do you know or choose the right Ec for each phase of the plant? or how much to raise it in each irrigation? My range is usually from 0.2 to 1.2 ... it depends on the strain. Do you think it is more important to know the strain than to follow a table of nutes? Thank you!

Gonna harvest in three day and I'm planning on washing my buds the Docbud way. I've never done this before so any info on this will be very helpful. My process is: wash, hang for 6 hours, trim and paper bag them for a week. Humidity is low at 20% and temp at 35C Peak. Thank you!

Can anyone spot (if possible yet) by this last pictures if it’s a male or female? Looks like a “drop” shaped pre flower but I don’t know if it is a pre flower or new sprout with leafs. I’m having a lot of ramifications on this one and saw this happening on other areas.

Harvest or wait longer? See microscope images on week 12 and bud pics. 10% amber under the microscope. To me, just looking at the bud with my naked eye, I'd say wait a little longer as all the hairs have not all curled in yet. Also, please comment in the comment section too.

I have germinated some auto seeds and started sitting them outside but I want to move them inside to a grow tent and grow them there. Is there a problem with starting plants outside then moving them under led lighting for the veg/bloom? Anything you need to watch out for?

3 days from completing 12 weeks. The Top Cola looks ready with all pistils Amber & curled. However, lot of Popcorn buds still blooming. Should I wait for the harvest and let the Popcorn buds bloom longer. Will that affect the Top Bud ? Any pro tips for harvesting in a closet?

I've read a bit on the different techniques people use to promote more growth as the plant gets bigger and was wondering if I should be doing the same. Would just love some clarification here as some people are saying to leave it alone, while others are saying the opposite.

My grow tent is about 2 1/4 feet x 4 x 6 ft . I use an inline exhaust fan on a cycle timer. 400 watt . I have HEPA filters mounted on the little windows for clean passive air- no intake fan. To keep the RH up and temp down can anyone recommend a cycle time for the exhaust fan?

How much to trim my bush?
I've created a fairly flat canopy but I have all this new growth a few nodes down from the top that just is not getting any light. I am not sure if I should leave it since its fairly close to the top or remove it.

Is periodic, light defoliation ok for autoflowers?
Hi Growmies! As a beginner, I decided to leave one plant untrained, but I am noticing some large fan leaves preventing light from reaching lower branches. Is it ok (or beneficial) to periodically remove a large fan leaf if it is blocking light? I hear autos are tricky.
