hey @SWSVIC once you top do you perform a water change by going to Fill/Drain mode?
Yes, this will dispense a fresh round of nutrients aiding your plant in recovery. If you can, wait to top on a water change day to conserve nutrients.

@SWSVIC I dont think it matter but I did the topping and water change a day before my unit said to⌠should I have changed it again when the machine said but I didnt think so being that it was the next day

Nope youâre fine just let it ride until the next scheduled water change if it was only a day apart it wonât be a big deal. Just make sure that you top off your reservoir mid week and youâll be good to go.
Its early where Iâm at so Iâm a little slow right now what u mean top my reservoir?
When and if the water gets low and plant 
need that oxygen top it off like @SWSVIC was sayingâŚmore than likely before that water change is due

Hey @Cutty3026 I would recommend topping off midway through the weekly water change schedule. @Thatguyb.y you should receive a notification from your Grobo saying âyour plant is thirstyâ this would be the appropriate time to top off. As your grow continues it may be necessary to perform top offs more often than once a week. You can gauge this by how much water she is taking in during your weekly top-offs as well as if your leaves start to âdroopâ between water changes/top offs, this is also a good indicator that she wants more water.

To top off your reservoir youâll take a jug or bucket of plain RO or Distilled water (shouldnât require more than a half gallon, thus I typically have a 1 gallon water jug that I constantly refill near my unit for top offs), insert your Grobo fill tube into your water container, then go to the app, click âMaintenenceâ, and then click âFillâ and run the fill protocol. This will fill your reservoir to the level at which your recipe specified for your growth stage.

At the stage you are at now, you will only need
to do so once a week, halfway between your water changes. Use your best judgment and increase to 2 a week down the road if necessary.
Question tho I have some experience growing but in the grobo I am totally new and at a beginnerâs phase⌠but how do you go past a veg stage of the grobo if itâs set to its certain days?? I been seeing ppl say this and taking there flowers past the time it says.

You can do some light defoliating now if youâre really itching to cut! I would stick to only lower leaves that appear damaged or weak. You donât want to do to much other than take care of her and let her grow at this early stage. Check out this guide to defoliating:

She could use a little defoliating. Do it on your next water change day (right after you change the water and nutrients dispense). Start with the monster fan leaves.
@SWSVIC cut just the leaf off because itâs in 2 off the main branch??how do I cut it I see a lot of strains got just 2 nodes (2 arms) lol coming out mine have 2 arms but 2 more growing from them. So do I cut the fan lead arm or the whole thing?
