i've topped before but just not under nodes

thanks guys, they are now sleeping but I'll cut under the node like @Budzbuddha showed. Just never seen someone doing this so i'm a bit scared

So I want to top my babies but 80% of them have no space to cut them. When I look pictures of people topping their plants, i can always see a clear stem where they cut it, but in my case, it’s too « compact » and not sure where to cut. I’m not sure what to do, should I wait for them to grow...

What about topping them now?

Hey guys, I didn’t defoliate and lollipop in my last growth and I realized after harvest that it was a huge mistake. I want to do it with this new crop and just wanna be sure I do it correctly at the right time. Would you top these babies now? What about lollipoping and defoliating now too?

what about just a normal cheap non-submersible pump and just have it timed to run for 15 min after every watering? Would this be a good option? let me show a better image. Can I just connect a wall socket on the wire? What do you guys think of 2.5L per minute for 15 x 5 gallons coco

Would this one be low profile? I assume that the white pipe is the intake, it seems to be low enough? It says 2.5L per minute which i have no idea if it's enough for flushing 15 x 5 gallons coco but i would think not. It's also made for ac units so it has wires but no wall plug, I have to diy...

do you mean the bucket company has their own pump? I can't buy it where I live, they don't sell it so I have to go with alternatives. I got these trays vs having a flood table tray because of the extra height it gives to my plants so raising the trays is not what i want to do here.

I'm building an auto drain set up using the bucket company ez-pz runoff trays. Here is my question, How can the water reach the top of the pump if the pipes are 2-3cm of the floor? Gravity is not doing a good enough job here, It doesn't seem to have enough pressure or is there something i don't...

After more research, this is what I understand from this debate (can you guys tell me if there is something false) First, everyone should test their water and see what filter options to get. But most of us won't do that. Also everyone should at least have a carbon filter. - 300+ ppm tap water...

rain water would be too complicated

Here is a picture of what you are talking about. Are you talking about the post carbon filter? So if i understand correctly, this will bring back minerals into the water like calcium/magnesium, bump the ppm and PH. Why not just throw some ph down afterwards? Isn't it a good thing to have?

If cost is the only reason to go with a carbon filter vs RO, I found this unit, 100$usd, 100GPD, 6 filters. I don't know if it's good enough though. I'm changing my mind every seconds with this decision for some reason, can't make up my mind :D

Got it, I thought the polluted water would make you guys with more experience lead to RO but not. I’ll start looking for carbon filters, thanks guys

So if you had a RO filter and a carbon filter at home, you would still use the carbon for plants and not the RO? Is the reason for keeping some of the wanted minerals?

Thanks! I’m leaning towards a carbon filter but just needed some confirmation from the community first

Can’t find if it’s lead pipes, but I’m reading an article saying: « bacteria, heavy metals, sewage and industrial wastewater are present in Phuket tap water, that’s why it’s unsafe to drink »

I would love to find more info on this but Thai is not my first language and can’t find any other English info other than « damaged/old pipes, polluted water ». When I read that, RO comes to mind right away but I’m not sure, I have no experience with it

Can I ask you your experience with feedings your plants RO water? I’m still debating RO vs a single carbon filter. The reason for going with a carbon filter vs RO is because it’s cheaper, faster to fill up, no wasted water, it keeps some of the needed minerals and still seem to be doing a good...

google says it’s because of old pipes so the water can be in contact with unwanted stuff. No one drinks tap water here in fear of getting sick, I wonder what exactly can cause this. Anyway it doesn’t sound safe for the plants that’s why I want a filter.
