Saw this today and made me question if I did install the copper base sock properly or not. Is it normal for the roots to pierce the fabric pot and then the copper sock too? How powerful are these plants? Should I trim it before it affects the valve?
I started to pinch and remove the little shoots at the ends of arms of the plant to extend their reach to the sides to make the canopy even. It works well for my photoperiods for now to avoid bushy areas that can host mildew but then realized none of the defoliation, LST or crop videos I watch by far now mentions this - and I watched a lot over years.
Is it a normal practice? I do this to avoid larf as well. Am I hurting the plant and causing stress? Is it pointless and extra work for no to little result?
For instance, red marked areas are the ones I removed shoots. Green area I will keep. What do you think?

Is it wise to transplant a plant from soil to airdome-coco coir perlite pot at the second month of flowering vegetative phase? It's a sativa plant, CBD Skunk Haze photoperiod.
I recently moved to autopot coco (40% perlite) setup for the first time after a long time of soil and organic fertilizers. The convenience is incredible. Now one plant I started in soil mix I wanted to keep "just in case of a mistake I may do in coco and end up with total failure, I'll at least have one harvest" is bugging me because it wants a different PH and EC, runoff checks and hand watering. That plant also looks sad because of my own mistakes (run off was around 4.5 EC because I used autopot reservoir's 1.9 EC water).
The plan is removing most of the soil around and between the roots and move to a fabric pot. I'll adjust the EC and PH to find a common ground between soil and coco, ideally 1.2 and 6.0. Vegetative growth is already slow, although it's not stunned. I already need to remove it from the tent and flush until the run off EC becomes acceptable which I hate to do, now asking myself why don't I also transplant?
Recently a friend of mine gifted me two nugs of this beauty called Super Boof Cherry. Tastes okay, head’s a bit narc although strain reviews call it energizing.
It is very dry yet not crumbly. Doesn’t crumble when pressed but cracks like freeze dried strawberries. Freeze dried weed is almost non existant where I live though. Not sticky but when rolled pure, a lovely resin ring appears on the paper. Nug in the photo is 2,3gr.
I don’t want to call it PGR immediately because it was tasty, but doubt is there. The strain is known for bag appeal internet says, but most buds I saw on net are nowhere near mine. I want to know, what makes such nugs? I’m happy with my fluffy larfy yet resinous buds but also curious how the same plant can look and feel this different.
In less than two years I had to change at least three humidifiers (Loweitt, Mars Hydro etc) and yesterday my osciliating clip on fan from Mars also went rogue and not osciliating anymore, making weird sounds.
Yes I know Mars is cheap and not a long term investment. But what brand is? I see Spider Farmer and AC Infinity also selling very similar quality stuff despite their better reputation and internet is full of problems submitted by their customers as well.
Where to buy what? All I want a humidifier that doesn’t get broken in 6 months and I am ready to pay for it. All I want is a silent clip on fan which has good ball bearings. I bought a Noctua fan to solve this but that thing also doesnt fit to a grow tent directly out of the package.
They were moved to the fabric pots like ten days ago but growth is visibly slow. First two photos are THC Victory and the last is Durban Poison auto.
I started the seeds in coco pucks, moved them to a light soil mix in a cup and when their roots were established (like coming out from the holes) moved to the 60/40 perlite coco (single pass calmag buffered). Only distilled water was used until this point, EC was never above 1,5 and ph was always 5.8. Always top watering The mix I used in cup is not the same soil with the autopot fabric pots plants were transplanted into.
Yellow leaves under are a sign of transplant and root stress. But what else is wrong in here? I already lost three seedlings to inert coco and overwatering before this batch and I don’t want to wait to make another fail in coco before I move back to beloved soil 😀
What do you think about my feeding chart?
I was a bit confused about non-organic fertilizers and asked ChatGPT to design me a feeding chart for 3 photoperiods in 20L fabric pots with airdome. It was going well until the AI started to daydream as usual. I trust the EC and pH levels it provides but I need some critical approach to my feeding chart since this is coco and hard to fix later with ways like flushing unlike soil.
I have tons of old bottles from my Biobizz organic light mix soil era and want to use as much as I can before I move to reservoir feeding thus using them in the first month.
