Stickanswered grow question 7y ago

Clover, rye, mustard, beans, kale, are all marvelous ways to set up a cover-crop. Those plants (especially beans, clover, and rye) sequester nitrogen into the soil for your cannabis plants to use later. You can use cover-crops whenever you want. To be really effective, it should remain in place for months/years. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing!

I've noticed that my plant is now showing signs of going into flower. Next res change is due Sunday. Should I switch to bloom nutes then, or would you recommend to do it earlier?

Leaf colour and buds Are the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go? Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds? Thanks 🌈

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

Defoliation regularity help Just wondering how often I should be doing defoliation? At the moment I’m kind of snipping off a few leaves n new growth as I see them each day. Is that too frequent? Should I wait n do a good amount at once maybe every week?

Made the mistake of planting two autos and one photo plant in same box. My thinking was that once the Autos were harvested I’d flip the remaining photo plant to 12/12. Problem is what about the flower nutes for the Autos since photo won’t be ready until flip. Any ideas?

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.

What is the white stuff on my clay pebbles? I think it's some sort of salt build up but entirely sure. I flushed them out so we will see if it happens again this week.
