started grow question 7y ago
When is the best time to switch 12/12 lighting? I’m at 39 days, almost 18in tall inside a 63in tent. I’m thinking now is the time.

Looks like you’re ready to flip to 12/12 now. But you could keep them in veg longer if you want larger plants. At this point it’s up to you. Looking very nice btw. Well done so far. 👍

How should I judge this plant competition? First to finish? Weight? Both plants are same strain and started at the same time. Open to multiple category judgement. Thanks

Should I defoliate the lower nodes of the branches?
Wondering if I should defoliate the lower nodes of all the branches (as shown in the picture, white arrows pointing to what I am considering cutting) to maximize growth of each top. Thoughts?

LST or leave them be?
Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

All my readings and studies makes me believe she’s a female because of the white hair (pistils) around the top. Since I’m a newbie can someone take a look at the pics and let me know for sure? Also, how can I know if a plant is an hermie? It shows both sexes next to each other?

I currently have the secondary CFLs (2x65w) sort of below the canopy (see pictures) in an attempt to get more out of the shorter branches. Would I be better off moving them up towards the top or will the lower portion have some use for the light?
