These girls are having fun, They sure are growing fast.
Trimmed off a few yellows from the bottoms. Second topping coming in a week at most.
Hungry too, A normal shot wasn't enough so had to double their MaxiGrow.
Starting to drink a lot more too. Even WW 1 has picked and pretty well caught up with the others. (center left)
Scallions are 3 inches and starting to fatten up.
My light setup that is hopefully finished.
I use 450 watts of 50 watt Cool White LED cobs on 3 reflectors as the main light source.
Right now in veg stage I also have
UV 400nm 9w
Violet 420nm 36w
Royal Blue 440nm 27w
Blue 460nm 21w
Green 520nm 18w
All coloured LED’s are 3 watt
When I want them to stretch some during veg I turn on
Deep Red 660nm 18w
IR 720nm 18w
IR 850nm 9w
For budding I turn on the Red and IR LED’s then add 120 watts of Red 620nm LED Tape.
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil?
Before watering?
After watering?
Or does it really matter?
Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?
