(I had previously nutritional issues hence the discolouration on some leaves)

Looking super full after a small dose of lst, any suggestions on if I should be trimming/defoliating? If so, where do I start?
feel like it’s getting a little crowded 😅

Any advice appreciated, NOVICE GROWER 👀

Predefoliation

Decided to yank a plant to give one of them more room, still need to mess with some probably do it Saturday and going to do a nice defoliation, did a lot of work under the nets today again let them recover a bit then go through the tops of them. Both of these are taking up about 16-20sf each completely over taken the smaller mad one (our fault not the plants or genetics , first time with this system roots clogged our 2in lines 🤣. Fixed it now next run putting filters on the side of the buckets the pump pulls from. Did our first drain, flush, run for a few hours, drain again and refilled with nutrient water. Total water waste is now up to 75 gallons for the entire run and 45 of that was 1/4 strength from when we dumped the starter totes. Overall pretty happy and working out the quirks of RDWC vs gravity fed dwc. Next run instead of trying to fit 8 autos in there we are going to do 4 or 6. Both nets are 4.25ft * 10ft.

Genetics are by Mainely.

Skunk and strawberry gorilla are at day 20. Having problems with bacteria in the water because of heat. Water from the tap is 81f. Holding around 75 in the tent. Looks like it's finally clearing up

Anyone else grew these girls?

First run with coco. Loving the results. Next run I’ll try to dial back EC and maybe up the irrigation frequency to prevent the burnt tips. All in all can’t wait to smoke this. Super skunky/burnt tire smell coming from it. First grow I haven’t had fruity terps.

I thought I’d share my current run of 3 cap junky plants grown in DWC. This is apparently capulator’s cut. They’re at 8 weeks of 12/12 and ripening nicely, will let them go one or two more weeks. The temps are a little higher than last run with this strain and I’m not seeing as much purple. Very uniform and consistent looking nugs. The smell is sweet mint, skunky gas and hints of fruit. This is a very potent strain too, I just love it!

Fully rooted, fully acclimated, ready to go!

Trusting the process means no lag. No transplant shock. Just strong plants that establish fast.

These babes are 2 days shy of the third week in flower. How much and when would be a good rule of thumb for defoliating?

Thanks.
