Light stress - solutions to maximize yield?

WintersBudzstarted grow question 6y ago

Think i have some light stress/burn. I've raised my LED a couple of inches but am wondering if a nutrient imbalance could be making the issue worse. Lack of P or K? Or is raising the light the only solution here? Trying to maximize VPD during a critical phase of flower.

Ph value is decreasing despite BioBizzUp I don´t get it I´m trying to increase the Ph value but it is permanently falling again to a value of 4,2. Any idea what could be the reason why my Ph adjustments (BioUp) are not taking effect in the soil. Additional question for SD: What to do with the brown leafes? Remove them?

Where does the bud form So I was wondering about plant anatomy, I have been pinching off new branches from the intra nodes. Denying the plant new tops making 16 main tops. Will buds still form down the 16 mains from the top or did I just pick all the buds sites down the plant...!?

Please suggest a product that controls bud mold. Auto-Flower CBD Strawberry Kush Is there a product that one can buy in Canada that would prevent or control mold for an outdoor grower? It has been raining a lot so far this season. Has anyone had good experiences with said product? No pictures of the actual mold, as I have been picking it off.
