Biggest difference I noticed with my first soil run vs my hydro grows was the difference in roots. My hydro girls have insane, fat up top, plentiful...
I can take it a step or two further, when I think 'party' I think trannies who have a bunch of meth and are looking to fuck. So a party mix would be...
Ok I lied apparently I did trim the bottom two sets of leaves. Forgot that I did
I also took a another cutting that I placed into a larger 710ml can but I placed this cutting into a space with only 46watts of CFL at 2 feet distance. That space is usually around 70F whereas the room I veg in stays around 80F sometimes hotter
The difference was that the 70F room with the cutting in the bigger can hasnt done a thing since the day I took the cutting. Both cutting were taken
hahah you really shouldnt trust me... since I'm in my first grow and also I have only done this popcan method 1 time with only 1 cutting lol
But I could see from this cutting just how effective it was. why do you think it would get stressed? Also I wouldnt suggest moving it completely away from direct light. Give it direct light, just not as close as you would normally put your plants. Double distance from your lights will be 1/4 the lumens so that should be ideal
