Can’t believe the growth rate of the DWC I put her in her home about a month after the other girls and she has already caught up and is now getting ready to pass the soil plants and she is very healthy.
This lovely lady smells like a damn sweet lemon drop not a fan of the lemon strains but man if the bud taste anything like it smells I’m in for a treat.
So what is the first sign your plants are too close to the LED lights. What specific signs am I looking for? I can’t raise my lights anymore and my plants are about 11/12 inches away. Do not want to super super crop as I’m in the 4th week of flower and don’t want to over stress.
You should be thru most the stretch hopefully.. I’ve grown some plants with a few buds literally 2-3 inches from similar LED light. It’s not prime conditions but they can handle getting pretty close.
I don’t personally believe supercropping a few upper branches is gonna cause significant stress. It’s not optimal but sometimes ya gotta do it.
I recommend this app all the time called “Photone” if you got bucks to spend.. it will help you for the rest of your time growing. It gives you a read PPFD read out that is very accurate. As long as your canopy isn’t pushing 1250 PPFD you’re in good shape.
If they stay in that same range of 9-12 inches away from light you should be totally fine going forward!
Good luck
I had the same problem with mine getting too tall and too close to the light, one of the first signs is the leafs closest to the light will start to yellow and start to turn brown on the ends and eventually will start to brown the whole leaf. what i did is start to do some LST on the top and other parts closer and easily start to bend them down over a couple days, while do that it also increased my yeild.
That looks like they are just where you want it. The led leaches out magnesium. So up that and increase airflow in the upper level of the canopy to decrease the light heat
This grow was a very good run at my hydro finger tips DWC biggest plant yet! The soil plants I ran are super duper sticky and have the most pungent smell of lemons and oranges amazing taste with a super chill high great run learned a lot and ready to apply to the next stay tuned!!
@Ferenc, Thank you my man I chopped a lower branch and dried it. Was actually pretty tasty. Instant head buzz without finishing the doobie. Got me excited hehe
