Potagoniastarted grow question 5 years ago
Whats up grow Fam!!! I have a LED lighting question. at what distance should a, 23 watt (real wattage) 48 diodes each of 730 nm (IR), 3000K white light and 2100K white light, be kept from the plants? Im looking to purchase 2 of these bar lights (veg/bloom) for supplemental light.

So typically all manufacturers will have a recommended distance for their lights for each stage. Unfortunately not all leds are the sam regardless of the specifics. However i believe a good safe zone in general for LEDs with seedlings like yours is around 20-24 inches. I dont think you ever want them over the 30s unless its unbelievably powerful. Then as your plant gets a bit older youll be able to move the light down, 18inches, 15inches, but always do a hand check and place it right at the canopy and see if your hand can tolerate 30 seconds without being too hot.
Good luck with your little ladies. Happy vegging ✌️

There are some variables to consider, your ambient temperatures and how well you exhaust heat in the grow space, but somewhere between 2 inches and 12 inches. I use LED lights and keep seedlings 6 inches from the light, fully establish plants on veg up to 4 inches and flowering plants as close as 2 inches. I do it like this to keep the plant as short as possible; but you can use them as far as 12 inches as I said.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Defoliation in mid-late floweringCan I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?
