My Strawberry Kushes are just now sprouting their fourth nodes. So I’m planning on reducing their light period from 24/0 to 18/6.

No kidding. These ILGM Strawberry Kushes are wanting to live! My question is, with the tap roots so long, do I go into my rockwool and put the rockwool right into my net pots with hydroton, or should I place the rockwool cubes in a bit of standing water?

Oh yeah, how do I change the title of my grow journal so people actually know that it’s a journal?
