It takes up two gallons of volume, if that makes sense at the time of harvest. If I didn't trim it would take up most of the bucket if not all. I veg for 6-8 weeks in hydro, sometimes longer. I only do one root trimming per run on a plant, when is just a matter of how I feel. Still tryna pin point the best time to do it. Another run I'm going to test root trimming on some e basterds one I'm gonna do multiple small amount instead if one big one and see if it's any better. I'm truly a one and done guy.
