I find it helps to finish your buds off, and even them out a little,
i have been telling him that for years but he is a big old dread and you cant tell him anything, but he is happy and his bud is nice,he grows in soil so he dont get big y:S5: eilds anyway
Well i was planning on flushing this coming Saturday, so do u think dark friday into saturday, flush, lights back on then keep checking ?
