Just experiment, if you have three plant of the same strain, leave one alone, trim the top fan leaves on, and trim the shit out of the third one! it's hard to tell a person what to do in this situation!! I give mine a pretty good trim with two weeks left in veg, three weeks into flower, and a touch up trim after week five in flower!

is there even a need to trim at all.

whats are the pros and the cons?

has anyone tried different nutes in this setup.. I am interested to see how the gh flora series fairs...

Its one of those things you have experiment with yourself!!! A lot of people say you are cutting the food to the plant by removing fan leaves, on the other hand it allows a lot more light to the plants! I think it has a lot to do with your set up, and with this set up I think it works well!! But, what do I know, I have just copied most things that SS does

I think there was a dude on the SB site that preached those nutes! Again, you have to play with it! Since I started this system, I have only used Botanacare!

Ha, same here. I went ahead and took your advice though, last night I clipped one pretty good, another just a bit, and have four left I didn't mess with. The one I took the most off of actually looks pretty happy this morning, maybe it's all that extra light reaching all the lower branches! Thanks for the idea.

I came across this last night after I trimmed down... an interesting read, we'll see what happens over the next few weeks with my plants, I think I'm going to stick with taking a few off here and there.

my yields increased dramatically, my trim time went down because less popcorn buds when i started defoliating a few days before going to flower, at days 15 and 36 in flower.

Hey SS, I know you do a lot of pinching and bending, just curious as to when you stop it during flowering? I usually stop around day 12 and get a pretty even canopy except for the twistas which stretch more!

i do it as needed. when one is blocking or up too high and there is space to move it i bend it. i have never had a set schedule but i am way past day 12, probably day23-30.

I have always heard to start out following the directions at half strength, and go from there! I'm sure someone uses those nutes in some type of hydro set up on this site, just ask and see what happens or do a search! Know that I think about it, it might have been Dya Grow he used, I'm an old fuck, I can't remember His user name was maybe my all time favorite, Camel Toe Joe

new improved rez cover

Stainless steel and plastic, correct??? Do you have the holes in your rails cut out yet??? You can take the cut out pieces, cut them into quarters, and they make the perfect clips for holding the net pots down!!!

Wont be using you for straight cuts!! LOL

actually it is pretty hard to get a clean cut on that. it is thick and has deep support bracing on underside you have to cut through also. good job.

the hinges are not stainless steel, but they are never going to touch the water. its on the outside. the screws are 1/4 inch. only the tip goes through barely.. so there is zero interference with whats in the rez

the hydrofarms fit pretty well even in the tubes.. they dont move at all.. too bad i threw all the cuts away.. but i don't think i will need them. we will see.
