So I've been doing the method advised by DJM and a few other seasoned pros using coco. Which is
During veg, water and allow the medium to dry a bit (Not bone dry as to harm the roots)
Then during bloom to smash it with multiple small feeds which has worked a treat.
I've managed 650ish grams/m2 in the past and am happy with the results.
However, with the introduction of crop steering slowly making its way to the cannabis industry, this method seems to be opposed.
Here are 2 examples of crop steering explained.
Crop steering proposes us to actually increase the frequency during veg for root gain (I'm assuming after the 3rd week of veg here).
Not only that, for generative (flower), it is suggested we use a lower frequency with lower water content during flower for better generative growth ( more bud, less leaves).
Anyone have any experience they can chime in on these two contradicting methods?

Initiating Root Stress Late in Flower
I have read from several sources that drying or moisture stress in the root zone can induce the increased production of resin to decrease evaporative moisture loss theough the leaves. Before people start saying that "just leave it alone to maximize its potential" I think you should realize...
