No offense, but like I said that may work for your area. For this area Things are.different. fox farms line burnt my last crop. I usedfox farm soil and nutes. And I wasn't using RO water. My roots had white build up around the holes in their containers and my leaves all got burned, dispite my many flushings and cut backs on nutes. So maybe you can be simple with your plants, but circumstances and location require more actions on my part. Plus simple technique can result in simple bud in my opinion. Id like mine to be special. But everyone's got an opinion. I'm just stating observations from my last few gos at it... But i think it also depends on personal preferance, how much time do you really wanna spend taking care of your plants. And back to the subject at hand... The bubbles on the plant...? Pics gurl! We need ta see what the bbls look like. Lol
