Sad news this week, one of the plants had to be chopped and thrown away :( EXPLANATION: these monsters highest branches are pushing over 3 feet now, so much taller than I ever anticipated! I don’t have a scrog net and I didn’t want to HST, so I decided to chop the weakest one of them in order to free up space and give the others some minor lst in order to lower bud sites away from the lights. I think this will ultimately lead to a healthier, higher quality yield, which I would much prefer to higher quantity. Buds are beginning to gain size, so exciting to watch every day. Gave them their last dose of big bud today, will switch to overdrive once they’ve gained a bit more weight. I now have both my lights on for max watts and canopy coverage, Mars hydro ts600 and viparspectra 450.

Snooziecheesecakestarted grow question 4 years ago

I am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?

Wattage or power consumption is a bullshit figure that has no relevance to anything other the a lamps efficency. What you need to chexk is the light is giving full spectrum that you require and that has enough usable PPF to cover your grow area. The watts are only how much power is consumed to acheive this. Dont get suckered into the Watts game It matters not as long as the panel produces the required photons. The wattage just shows us the photon efficency. I am a live sound engineer and its the same in my trade. Some fool comes along and says "awww mate that sub is so loud how many watts is that?" well that does not matter what matters is the sound pressure being created by the given power consumption. This is called efficeny and wattage is a reflection of that.

Is it possible for me to take down the walls of my tent and leave the frame with the lights on it to let the plants get more space? I don’t have a way to ventilate the entire closet from an external source, just been ventilating the tent w/ an exhaust fan and carbon filter

Well ya of course. But you are defeating it's purpose. Any bugs and pest that follow you inside any given day will have an easier path to your plants... However winter is coming. But that's really your only downside. Tent ecosystem is easier to maintain than the house

I’m roughly in between weeks 2-3 of flowering and was wondering if I can still high stress train at this point? Some of the tallest branches are within 6 inches of the light and I expect them to gain a few more inches even. Light is also at max height.

Hey, Personally, I wouldnt stress the plant that much at this stage. Maybe try some stem pinching. I believe the stress would significantly affect bud production. Hope this helps,

I underestimated how tall my autos would get in my tent and some colas ended up getting less than an inch from my lights. Most colas were fine but 2 seem to have mutated in some way. Calyxs grew way more leaves and pistils per each individual calyx. Is this a major problem?
