Today, we'll explore the contentious issue of leaf stripping and its effects on plant yield and quality. Our debate takes us from the ideal plant densities per light to the nuanced responses of different strains. Labor costs and market demands also come into play as we consider the practical and financial implications of cultivation techniques.

Additionally, we'll tackle the science behind watering wisdom, debating coco bag saturation, dry back in various growing mediums, and whether soaking your plants in calmag for 36 hours is really necessary. Have you ever wondered about the appropriate water flow rates or what dry back percentage is optimal for your crop? We've got you covered on that front, too.

As always, environmental control is a hot topic. We'll get into the specifics of leaf surface temperature, especially when dealing with various lighting systems, and share insights into the genetic and environmental factors that lead to those captivating purple hues in your plants.

And because we know your growing medium is the foundation of your garden, we'll have a spirited discussion on the merits of coco versus Rockwell and soil. Finally, we'll wrap up with our take on the salts versus organics debate, touching on the philosophy and science that drive our growing methods.

Join us for an informative session as we untangle the complexities of cultivation, answer live questions, and provide practical insights you can apply in your grow room. Get ready to take notes – Office Hours LIVE Episode 88 starts now!
