Light & Temperature

  • 18/6 light cycle.
  • Keep temps between 76–80°F during veg.

Training

  • Top 4–8 times — more topping = more bud sites.
  • Watch for root rot and root wrapping at the base.

Feeding

  • Water every 2–3 days depending on airflow.
  • Use Recharge or kelp only in veg.
  • Weekly veg tea for microbial life and root health.

Phil's Veg Tea Recipe

  • Recharge by Real Growers (supplements molasses + micros).
  • pH Up or Down if using soil with nutrients to avoid deficiencies.
  • Coco-based nutrients are generally balanced already.
