Trimming

[Fultron]

So I am wondering what everyone thinks about trimming plants back? I had some difficult getting this table going first time with the ebb and flow. so I have plants all over the place. Some are really big and starting to crowd and shade out the smaller one. What should I do trim back to help the smaller ones or just let them do their thing. this table has been in bud for a week?

IMO - Judicious pruning is always an option.

I'd put the smaller one in the best light... the bigger ones in the worst light ...

to the edges and yeah perhaps a trim

only in flower a week ...so you have time

good luck

my table is full of clay pebbles so I can't move them around.

Just put thought into every cut. See how much light it’s getting, how’s it’s affecting other leaves around it. If you can open light to more leaves below by cutting it, I do. I just try to make the best decision for my plants. Not be an army barber and buzz the whole thing

What are u taking off the whole tiller or just fan leaves?

 

[GeneBanker]

Maybe I’m too old to understand tiller? I do my heavy low branch assessment trim early. Like before flower. I find that level that everything below comes off. Then as I go problematic or malpositioned leaves come off.

you really dont need that much hydroton on the table. I have none and my plants are fine but if you want it on there a little layer to just cover the roots is fine

Your not using anything for the roots to grow in? You just let them come out of the pot.

When I first put them on the table I do every hour for the first 2 days then every 2 hours

Also how do you keep the roots out of the light

I usually only veg on the table and they go to a bigger hydro system but night I would only do 1 watering the whole night cycle. Like halfway through it. If lights go off at 7am I would do like 1 pm

The roots are in the light but it doesn't bother them. Haven't had a problem with it
