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. 👍

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically. I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. Thanks

So currently we're doing a 4'x4' tent and 2x 600watt Amico LED (full spec) My question is should I supplement more light to the tent? Was thinking 1x 1200 watt in the middle and the two 600 on the sides, angled? Planning on doing 4 photos, not the biggest fan of autos 😅 Thanks!

As seen in one of my pics on week 16, you can see a dried brown spot on one of my leaves. It's not on a ton of leaves but it's in a few different spots. What could be causing this? If it's a PH issue I don't know because I'm doing no-till and haven't monitored the PH.

Not sure when it is time to harvest? This is my first grow, and I've looked up some guides, but It is not clear to me whether I should wait for all the colas to have to right color. The main one looks pretty much done, but there are small ones to the sides still completely white.

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no
Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

Any tips would be appreciated she’s untopped, low budget grow but seems to be holding its own, I spend a lot of time tucking leaves and re arranging branches to get more light to the lower nodes. Didn’t know what to expect as this is my first grow. Very fast strain to flower!

Is it too late to put in a trellis net in my tent?if so, is there anything I can do so my buds won't touch the light because it seems like this plant wants to touch it and she keeps growing. Will she ever stop growing vertically?

Scrog Defoliation during flowering - how hard to go?
I'm going into 4th week of flower, and I'm fairly sure they're done stretching now, and have filled the screen nicely. How much should I be defoliating at this point? Should I take just leaves, or also small budsites under the canopy? Critical xxl on left, OG Kush on the right.

Not sure whether or not to cut some of the lowest branches from the plant. Doesn't look like they'll make a 50 cm stretch up but I'm not sure. Tips?

I started a flush about 2-3 weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Turns out she's taking longer than I anticipated. Should I restart nutrients, or keep it clean until harvest?

Hi all! Just started week 8. I will give her 3ml bloom nutrients (Bbizz) till the end of week 9, so two weeks yet. Then I will flush and water her for another week, or liitle more, with just water. What do you think guys? Also, what should I do with the soil after harvest? Cheers
