After attempting a grow in a small cabinet with side lighting i decided to just get a proper tent and light it from the top.
the larger plants in the tent are Paradise seeds Vertigo but won't be tracked.
Lights are at 80% intensity at 70 cm from the plants.
I'm currently only using ph'd water
Any comments or advice are very welcome as i'm still very inexperienced. especially about light intensity and distance from plants :)
She seems to have quite a few leaves covering up bud sites but I'm afraid of removing too much
Any thoughts?
Any other comments on how I could improve/mistakes you see in my diary are welcome too!
I wouldn't remove any leaves, your plant needs every healthy green leaf she has to be able to produce the energy she needs to grow her biggest and best flowers.
Less leaves = less energy production potential = less growth.
Those "bud sites" that you think are covered, are relying on those very leaves to make the energy she needs to be able to grow those "bud sites".
Within a few days those buds will grow out from under those leaves anyhow, making the removal of the leaves needless.
With future grows, don't be afraid of tying the branches even further down, getting them quite horizontal even, this will help with light penetration and can lead to an improved yield.
Cheers, Organoman. (and very much an anti defoliation freak!)
