I was definitely going to clip them, I clipped them earlier and it seemed to almost shock the plant a bit with the stress it was going through so I decided to let these get more dead before chopping them which seemed to be the better choice(since there doing better now) Now about the watering, you really do that small of waterings that your able to wet your soil 3 times a week. That is something I will have to get better with because I'm on water feed water feed. I have access to very nice fresh worm teas for free twice a week from a local hydro shop that has molasis with it etc, I was have already used them on my plants in the past and plan on using it throughout the grow on watering days if it so happens to be a day when it's available. You guys have any experience with using these?
