they usually stretch in early flower and that brings the nodes father apart so i see no need in it
cutting the fans from a auto dramatically effects yields IMO / from my experience
i wouldnt suggest it but the plant will still finish if you do it
and i use the technaflora full line up minus the cloning gel
the " recipe for success " starter kit lasts a good while and its around 40 bucks shipped
i have also been using the Peruvian gold its organic and you get a starter set for free if you contact the sales dept on the site 4 32 oz bottles i think and its free shipping
i use worm castings and dolomite lime when i mix my soil / soiless blend
its around / roughly 1/3 heavy loam 1/3 miricale grow perlite 1/3 fine coco and i i use about a 16oz cup full of seed starter where i plant the seed i just fill the pot up around the cup take the cup out and put the seed starter in this helps eliminate the soil being to hot when the seed sprouts by the time it gets to the other stuff its stonger
i also water with a spray bottle for the first couple of weeks so my pots dont get water logged its just easier for me this way i guess
there a novel for a novel
