Harvested and all hung to dry in the tent. Shooting for 60rh and it keeps itself around 18 degrees. (lemmy.world)

All in all, it was over 5kg of material, but a lot of fan leaves and stems.

2x Durban Poison taken to day 65 in aeroponics with technaflora nutrients.

I mainly trim off the fan leaves and leave the rest for a dry trim, usually dryer here so try to leave more material as long as it’s got trichomes on it.

Nice! Good kolas and nice low buds. I'm new and my kolas rock but anything else was weak. Learning about proper trimming and when and proper lighting.

Thanks! These ladies had some legs on them so I was having issues with my light intensity actually.

With my grows I like having a powerful high up light to take advantage of the inverse square law, it allows “more” light lower down in the canopy.

Trimming/pruning my god, so many different schools of thought, my take on that is, not everyone is good at every technique. Play around till you find one you like. My way is to not remove a leaf unless for a specific reason, the plant spends energy making the leaf, to take it off is only wasting the energy it spent.

The reasons vary, but examples include dying leaf, damaged leaf, or to provide more airflow or light.

I tend to just let the plant ride until it gets about a foot tall, and either top it or let it get taller to supercrop over.

This is right around when I flipped to flower, short as possible.
