Ya all I'm saying though is water through an RO filter if left in a bowl to evaporate away, will leave no residue or film behind. That's all the chloramine, minerals, fluoride, and whatever else they're putting in our fucking water.
One of the biggest factors is how much replacement filters will cost. I recommend buying them at the time of getting the system itself. APEC has a lot of listings on Amazon and the filters seem like they're pretty generic. But like I said, look I to getting your system and replacement filters...
Hard to say with such small roots. You should be ha inf success with gh trio and CaliMagic. I'm gonna be honest here, the issue is your tapwater.
You must invest in an RO system from Amazon. 100-200. Basic 3-4 stage will do. Install that and get some kind of container. Black 55gallon drums do...

Use that and a 2'.
Ya to each their own. I'd be worried that's a bit more stress than it needs in mid flower. Usually you can tell if it's not gonna be much well before pistils/calyxes start stackin'.
Once budlets/snowballs appear, I wouldn't remove them. As far as removing what will come to be small buds, remove heavily foliage 1 week before, 1 week after and between week 2-3 of flipping. Bud sites that will be small, you can easily soot. just fully remove them. But once it's started putting...
As have we all. But I think heavy defo then flipping within that same day, could be a bit more stress than needed just for the process of initiating flower hormones, it'd be best to let the plant close all of it's new wounds.
