Day 36 I decided to do some defoliating but it was only a couple of leaves per plant from the very bottom.
Day 37 I changed the lights to 18/6.
They have been having 800ml every two days and they are looking OK no visible problems, one of the plants has started to get a purple shading on the top leaves I'm not sure if this is normal or its the beginning of a problem I will post a picture of it.
The smallest of the three plants is 24 cm and had roots showing due to lst this is the second one I've done that to so I topped it up with some more coco today.
I'm looking forward to see how they develop next week.

Removed week 4 started grow question 3 years ago

can anyone help me with the correct light distance?
i do realise that i am growing a dwarf strain but from the start i haven't been sure on the correct light distance.
i want it to stretch a bit more so am i right in thinking i should move the light further away?
thanks.

HI, you got to test it, until you know the distanesin a new setup, if the nodes close together, your light is to near... if the nodes are to far you are to high, if the nodes have the right distance you are right....... what is the right distance? on smallplants they should be around 1.5 cm....its difficult to describe, if a plant nods are very close the light is to near. You should always see the branches and before stretching in flower nodes most time around 1,5-3 cm distance....
