I would just rid the sucker leaves off the one in bloom, not all but some, start from top up and look down at it, that’s your best betThe problem I have is that I have limited space so I have the branches are somewhat close to each other so for me to get the light down to the lower branches I might have to remove a lot of fan leaves
Have you popped any of those CQ X CQ seeds? let me know if you do I'll be excited to see what you get:)

I am not the most experienced grower out there but I try to answer when I can cause I notice so many post get little response even mine.
I guess I have always just gone simple, 3 part hydro nutes, some ph down/up, some quality cal-mag, some ml graduated cylinders, some pipettes, an H&M ph meter and an H&M ppm meter. I did just buy a brix meter but that to me is an extra.
If you really love growing after a while you might want to invest in a chiller (~$275 on amazon). It is easier to use the ice method if you eventually build a simple recirculating system.

The are a few really good tutorial videos on YouTube for diy water coolers. Basically a mini fridge, garden hose and a few other things. YouTube has been quite helpful as well as these guys..Dee and Toaster79 know their shit and have helped me tons!
That's why rdwc imo. I tried it with individual buckets, it's pain. U can't scrog, u can't stake easily, it's a pain.One of many issues with DWC is cooling the nutes once plants and roots get big. How do you lift it up and hold it to replace frozen bottles? Also, how do you check pH and EC/PPMs daily? Add to this doing so disturbs the plant
After fighting that for a grow, I switched to F & D
See my sig for ideas
So I bought a tent, a carbon filter, I have 150W high-pressure sodium lamp and I’m doing the veg with 8- 2ft T5 florescent. Started giving my plant nutes about four days ago and the roots started popping out of the bottom of the 4” cube so I decided to stick it in the bucket and see what happens. Somebody gave me the seed so I don’t know if it’s a male or female but regardless, this is good experience for me.
In a 5x6 room and need water temps at 68 or I get real bad root rot. If 5he room runs at 78 daytime I have no choice but to chill the water if I set the a.c. to 68 it's ok but then the plants grow slowly and aren't happy. Deep water needs water temps under 70....soil no.prob but dwc/rdwc yeah need cool water.What the hell temps. Are you guys getting in grow room l have been growing for 45 years and never had a use for one What temp are you growing at and why do you think you need one. Don't know where or how your growing. But I use 1000 watt hps for flower along with t5 s finish lamps and uvb
I love hydro, it's been good to me. I found I wasn't a very good soil grower bUT still do soil for my annual outdoor run.
Make sure to keep your water Temps under 70F and consider using a little H2o2 if you have trouble with the roots or bad bacteria build up. Some people like using various reservoir treatments like "Res UC" or "hydroguard" but for me H2o2 has been very reliable.
Good luck on your hydro adventure,

That carbon filter ain’t going nowhere!!! Haha I’m a little late but grabbing a seat! Good stuff so far man!More pics
I also think you should defoliate as needed but IMO the least often the better! Rather take a little more, pull smaller fan leaves that eventually will be a problem in next few days rather than waiting and have to stress the plant AGAIN couple days later.No sorry that was probably misleading, I would say as it grows you trim up, I do it daily. Sometimes it’s good to let it go, but then you look at it one day and say yeah it needs a damn haircut
Agreed, I use 33% food grade.as long as H2O2 is 35% Food Grade, diluted 10:1 with pure water
Roots uptake nutrients in dwc better at temps between 65-70. I personally am around 72 degrees, I see no difference. Your water temps are gonna sit lower than your ambient temps cuz of the shade your plant gives over the pot, so you say 82, may be more around 78 in your water. It’s easier to get away with with low feeds and simple set ups but the minute you go rdwc forget about it....Not that I know everything but. I've never experienced rooting problems even at the tent being at 82. Is it the strain your growing. Maybe your nutes ? Not enough air ? Just sounds strange Been growing for 10 yr in dwc, 45 years all together. Is your tent and light not exhausted. Why do they need really cold water. To slow growth ? Just maybe trying to learn something. I don't mean in anyway to say I know more than you in any way
Hydro rules IMO. When I first started I could not believe it. My friends (close ) could not either. Thought I was fucking with them!
Those buds are looking very nice, I am thinking they will swell a lot from here on out as the pistils turn more brown. Also at some point soon the calyxes should swell and look like they have seeds forming even though there are no seeds. Looks nice!
