So basically in soil your going 6o want to feed with the nutrients once a week . The other feeding you give during the week should only be ph corrected water . This will allow your plant to fully absorb everything in the medium preventing the root zone from becoming what we call "hot" which will eventually lead to nutrient burns. When adding nutrients its important to remember that the dosages written on your bottles will be for fully mature plants . I would advise that you give 1/4 of the recommended strength and work your way up as your plant needs it . Soil retains nutrients really well and so its important to be careful. I hope this information helps you on your journey ! Happy growing !

No other advice than tucking the leaves that are blocking light to the lower budsite and it is the only reason to defoliate except if you wanna go fancy. Don't remove a leaf that the plant could use if this leaf is not blocking light because it will be used by the plant for photosynthesis

Hi @Visions! Yeah, hanging the stems upside down in your grow tent can be a perfect drying process! But you need to control your RH (~50%) and have a continuous temp (20-22°C / 68-72°F). Harvest before the light turns on, for maximum potency & terpenes. Terpenes and THC are degraded by light and heat during the daytime. Keep your trim wastes to make some canna-butter or bubble hash. Also when trimming, take a break every 10 minutes to remove the glue/hash/stigmas from your scissors, this will be your first joint, you can smoke it while trimming! Depending on your environment and weather conditions you might need to increase or decrease the relative humidity, you can use a mister (to increase) or a dehumidifier (to decrease), be warned that a good dehumidifier is quite expensive. Jars are the best way to cure, but don't forget to hide them in the dark, once again light will damage your product. Be very careful about your drying process, check your buds everyday and don't rush it or you will ruin your final product. Too-long drying on the other hand can lead to mold/bud-rot issues, this is why a daily inspection is more than required. Once buds seem dry, put everything in jars for the curing process (grandma's glass jars are perfect), keep on watching the buds frequently, mold can corrupt and destroy your product very quickly, you just need to open the jars 5mins everyday and move the buds for a close inspection + air freshening. Finally, act as a cooker with its fresh products : try a bit of your product whenever you think it's ready, your smoker's skills will help in setting up the perfect curing process! Hope these advices will help you, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
