When you say there is fabric pots which doesnt help, do you mean because there sitting in the runoff? If so that's probably also bad for salt build up but I'm not sure what others do for that, maybe raise them? @Fevs. You know what your talking about, could that be an issue also?
Yes, just defoliate. As long as you feed them that in the proper ph range and get lots of run off everyday, then you're golden.
Yeah mate, I use a trivet.
I use tap water on my plants, they don't mind the chlorine at all. lol Where do you live? Uk, Usa?
Dang I thought that was it.
I'm in the UK. My tap water isn't so bad really. Most people that comes from other areas in England always say my local tap water tastes really nice compared to theirs. Currently mixing up nutes with straight tap water, canna coco a & b at 700ppm. I get ph 5.8-5.9 and I'm in coco. I'm happy with my tap water. I don't even give it time for the chlorine and other shit to evaporate. Filling the pot again and getting fuck loads of run off is more important.
Lol yeah there's tons of post about all the specificities of growing. Really makes it tough for first timers cause all the conflicted advice. I just need to relax and let nature be.
Excellent point. They definitely got my ass.
You get these people that use led for efficiency, then use a 2000w heater in the dark period, a dehumidifier, and brag about the efficiency of their light. It makes me laugh that they are using all that other shit just to grow a weed. What's the obsession with sealed rooms too? It's just a weed man! Colas can pretty much get so fat before they get bud rot easily. It can be done with fresh air.
I have 7 tents with carbon filters. That with fresh air blowing through my place constantly gets rid of the smell of weed. With regards to bugs if you're growing in soil you're probably going to get bugs there anyway. Coco/hydro compared to soil isn't usually a major problem with bugs anyway.
I find it necessary to control humidity in my location, where it is so bad in the summertime that you sweat profusely 2 minutes after drying off from your shower; ie Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
