It's getting to be that time again...

Some bleeding hearts, pretty neat looking

Oh yeah, one more note about pruning the mother plant: pay attention to the growth structure of the plant to ensure it will grow back readily. You don't want to cut off everything except fan leaves, you need to make sure there are still some nodes with fresh growth tips intact, and also some fan...

My advice (sorry in advance for the long post): If those clones root, I'd just start a new mom in a new pot with fresh soil. Can't exactly tell from your posts above, but if you still have the original huge mom, I'd cut off 80-90% of the above-ground growth (don't be shy about taking off...

I don't know a whole lot about coco, but I do know you're supposed to water at least once day, not let it dry out, and give pH'd nutes with every watering. So all that is probably a good place to start. Good luck!

I've never grown in coco so probably not the best resource, but they look over-watered and possibly over-fed to me... How often/much do you water? Could also be a pH issue if you don't pH the nutes. I used the GH flora series for a couple grows and the pH always needed to be lowered a bit after...

Recharge and DE don't really contribute to the plant's nutrition one way or another. It's important to know whether you're using FFOF or coco because the recommendations for how to treat them would be very different...

Sorry, I saw you mentioned that after I posted... Simple stuff like citric acid can work to knock back spider mites, or at least keep them under control, especially in veg. Or beneficial insects, they will never build up an immunity to getting eaten. If it's not a full-on infestation, the...

Why are you using the Prozap thing in the first place? Doesn't sound like something I'd want around my plants that I'm going to ingest later... Edit nvm I see the bit about mites. They don't really go down to the soil so I don't think the DE would do anything for them either I agree with Budz...

Hopefully it goes well. I used hempy buckets for my first few grows and couldn't get the hang of it. I've had much better luck with soil and dry amendments (mostly Espoma "-tone" products). Haven't tried using synthetic nutes in soil but I know others do it with success. I feel like the biggest...

The extra 15 minutes won't make a difference, most hybrids only need about 10 hours of dark before they start flowering, and some growers will actually flower on 13/11 thinking it might increase yield. The one thing that will definitely prevent flowering is an interruption to the dark period...

Fwiw, I used a pump similar to this. They're cheap enough you could just get one for each SIP if you wanted... https://www.amazon.com/Fountain-Submersible-7-2ft（2-2m）-Aquarium-Hydroponics/dp/B07SGMNKRP/ I know some folks have set up float valves in the res for larger SIPs, not sure if that's...

Beautiful looking plants! With that many separate buckets it might be hard to automate watering without getting overly complicated, unless you have an automated way to drain the runoff as well (actively or passively). I've successfully gone away for a week or so and used a very small...

Hope you don't mind me commenting, if not please let me know and I'll delete. I've enjoyed seeing your previous grows and appreciate the low-effort approach. If you don't mind me asking, what do you plan to use for fertilizer? Liquid or dry amendments?

Maybe but I wouldn't sweat it if they're all still on veg lighting. If you get a seed or two from a preflower, no big deal
