Be cautious of defoliating: the leaves produce the sugars needed to make flower. I don’t remove anything until I’m about 3 weeks into flower then remove all the fan leaves. From there I’m very selective and don’t do any leaf removal until the final flush for harvest. Even then if RH is low for drying I might leave them on to act as an additional moisture reservoir when drying.
@ggc1962 I’m also growing THC Bomb. But mine is in soil and will be an outdoor grow. I’m currently at week 4 under grow light for 18 hours per day. Moving outdoors in May.
@Happilyretired . I dig Ebb&Flo. done it many years and have the system dialed in for how I grow. I just wish I could see more that grow with lava rock. IMO, its more stable
First question is how long have you been doing this?
If it would be all right with you I would like to tag you over to my grow room build where you can see where I started to where I am now .I have a Lotta questions I have nobody else to ask about the ebb flow system .I have three 2 x 4 flood trays. I bought them to contain my mess in my grow room didn’t work out so well so now they’re just sitting outside so I’d like to figure out a system that I could use one of those trays to grow in without using soil. You help me figure it out and I’ll use lava rock as a media. Why not I have zero experience With this type growing. You are rocking the stuff and I like to learn.
I can grow indoors or outdoors. The good thing about outdoors is zero electrical costs. The “bad” thing is that I harvested 2.5 kilos last summer, so why burn electricity to make more.
This summer I have 3 mother plants started: THC Bomb, Romulan, and Lemongrass. I plan to take maybe 3 cuttings off each plant for clones, so I’ll be managing 12 plants outdoors. I’m in Northern California with good sun and mild weather.
What I meant to say in my earlier post was that breaking the rulz should be the rulz. Oh, and I’m gonna tag along as well, that is if you don’t mind. I’ve been tuned to watching since the beginning
