    Should my girls be trimmed?

    2nd Hydro grow-Started Oct 1st, on the right is Maui Waui, on the left is Blueberry fem. DWC, Tecnaflora nutrients. Planning on changing to 12-12, flower next week! Current light schedule is 18- 6. Growing nicely, have been trimming, topped only once, been bending branches.
    Should I be trimming more?
    Roots have always been a little brownish, do have hydroguard in there.

    I sure would, open up the center a lot for light and air penetration. You'll want to do it again at week 3. After that be very selective by only removing leaves that block light and only if they can't be tucked out of the way.

    The cutout bucket is interesting. For display or instructional purposes I assume?

    make pH correction unnecessary

      Thanks for your reply! Will open them up a bit! Just hate cutting off good growth! I use the cutout bucket when changing the water so I can inspect and rinse the roots!

        next time look up "manifolding" on the main site. Photos are great candidates for it.
        I hope there is an afterlife...there are a lot of friends and family I'd like to see again, one day.
