Hey there 👋 I’ve tried 20/4, but now I’m seeing much happier results with a 18/6 schedule. They truly do need their beauty sleep- and they thrive with the right balance. Experiment, find what gives you the results you are looking for- but why overpay for electricity and chip away at your lights lifespan if you don’t have too Happy Growing 🌱

Light and water Thank you guys! for watering, I don't know how she can react giving her more than 250ml. I can try but I don't want to drown her. For the light, unfortunately direct sun light arrives from 11.30/12 am to 7pm. Before it is covered by other buildings behind my terrace.

WHAT IS CAUSING MY LEAVES TO CURL? (Day 64 pictures)The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏
