Uthonstarted grow question 5y ago

A question to all you autoflower mainliners out there, how often do you defoliate, and to what extent? I trimmed the fan leaves off the bottom of the cola stems, should I take it higher?

I am running a 65 litre buppleponic & dwc system with flora series nutrients. My question is, at what stage should I consider flushing the plant to reduce nutrient uptake before harvest? I have read anything from 1 week to 3 days. Thanks in advance.

When temps increase due to warmer weather do most people raise lights or reduce wattage? I guess different growers use both methods to lower canopy temps but I can't see that this question has been asked very much. Thanks

I’ve read that you shouldn’t use nutrients right away because it may cause nutrient toxicity. However my nutrient instructions start on week 1, so I assume it’s ok. Does anyone have any suggestion as to when I should apply nutrients to the water? I’m growing in a 3gal pot.

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!
