You're gonna have some baseball bat stalks but be careful with dead leaves they are ideal spots for mold/mildew to colonize especially so close to the net pot

I have never run more then 3 strains at the same time and this is my first time growing 4 out of the 5 strains i have and also the first time i used this particular bucket system so I'm not too sure what to expect. If all goes well and my plants average out at least moderate yielders (critical kush and death star are heavy producers, GSC is known to be more scarce weight) I am hoping for at least 28oz of high quality medication for my patients. Also the reason for growing 5 strains is so i can see what strain(s) treat their symptoms most effectively and work best for them.

And i dont wait for leaves to yellow before removing when i lollipop my plants. I simply remove all leaves and small branches that
A. Don't receive any direct light through the canopy or
B. Are in a spot where they WILL be blocked out by the canopy and lack the size and or light where as they could essily reach direct light like smaller branches and nodes on the bottom third of the plant especially near the center of the plant. from my observation this is beneficial as said branches expend considerable energy stretching to find adequate light only to yield crappy buds anyway.(this has a learning curve and obviously takes time to judge what is worth keeping but i find that when you do a little bit at a time during veg they will yield at least as much weight bud they are all quality buds) I do LST but only on plants that try to outgrow the group vertically like my big cookie

I'm sure you'll get better you have a clear desire to learn. If you never stop learning you'll never stop improving and nothing compares to first hand experience.

Thanks for the kind words yes I think im gonna start flower tomorrow, is it too close to flower to take a few branches off the bottom? I just clipped 4 clones off each of the two

You are fine to do it now but its better if you do a little at a time so don't get carried away you can always walk away and come back the next day only remove those that you are CERTAIN fit the criteria. some people do it gradually throughout the first two weeks of flower but doing it pre-flower is preferable

Nice looking set up man.
Plants look awesome.
I used to run only dwc and i found the easiest way to silence the air pumps was to bend up a hanger and hang the pump off a hook.
It doesnt vibrate anything else and seems to create more bubbles. Maybe it takes in more air?
Anyway i will be keeping an eye on your thread.
Good luck
I hope you harvest twice as much as u hope for
