What's ppm? Something new i just heard about and how did you're plant's react to the trim did you trim em all at once??

ppm (parts per million) and EC (electrical conductivity) tester tell you how strong your nutrient solution is, knowing the ppm or EC helps you to feed your plants more precisely. They loved the trim, I have a lot more bud sites that are getting quality light. And no I do not trim all at once because trimming too much at once can shock your plants and do more harm than good, I'm doing it gradually throughout the whole flowering process, if I see any leaves covering up bud sites they get chopped.

Yeaaaaa fellas, things are going good, today marks day 38 of flowering, I plan on letting them go for 70 days. I've had a few issues the past couple weeks ran into some nutrient burn at 1300ppm so then I backed off the nutrients a little bit to 900ppm and it seems to have worked, was having problems with my temperature 90°-95° for about a week or so. I probably lost about five percent of my total yield just from that week of hot weather, but its all good everything is back in check now. Btw broke my beautiful Nexus 5 that I was using to take my pics with so now I'm stuck taking pictures with some phone from 2010, but trust me fellas quality is going to get a lot better after this harvest I guarantee it lol.

Good job my oldest is 30 days in veg using my hps in August all the way out it has been very hot
Thanks, yea this weather has been killing me, but it's just a part of growing that us growers have to learn to deal with. Your plant is looking great, short and bushy just how I like it.

You know im a still a beginner im growing 5-10 autoflowers for the next time
Yea I know, even though I've grown a few times in the past it was basically a joke, so I consider this to be my first real grow, so I'm not too experienced at growing myself. Autoflowers huh, I see a lot of people now a days growing autoflowers and using LED lights, I come from a period where most people only use HID lights and that was still a little controversial because outdoor grower's we're saying there's no way that indoor lights can preduce the quantity and potency like the Sun does, and female seeds wasn't even on the market yet. So I'm a little hesitant to try autoflowers but I think eventually I'll have to give them a go.

Nope no autoflowers for me just yet, that was a pretty funny story about your auntie, the plant was definitely listening and was like fuck this I'm going to die anyway might as well die right now lol.
I've been researching marijuana for 20 years now and those first 5 years I was doing very very intense studying on a constant basis and my girlfriend could not stand it she thought that I thought that marijuana and researching marijuana was more important to me than our relationship, come to find out she was right all along, because the marijuana and the knowledge are still here and she's long gone lol.
