Hello @JohnB! No harm ! Just a bit more light and a richer spectrum ! Happy growing ! 👊

Yeah you can ! The more light the better the yield will be . Just remember to adjust the lamp height accordingly to prevent light burn :) -Happy Growing!

Of course you can, the more light the better. Just be sure to put it at the right distance: too far and it will not help at all.

At around 2 weeks of age, can I remove the big leaves yet? It blocks alot, (i feel), and 2 of the bottom first ones got yellow spots in them, otherwise good green color and growth.
Should I try to bend the very top more? The stem seems pretty stiff already, first early lst.Week 2

Week 8 of flower I lowered the CO2 to 1200ppm and planning to lower it 50ppm every day until I hit 800PPM.
Should I keep 800PPM for week 9 and 10 or should I cut it completely?
Should I lower the light intensity for the last 2 weeks since I lower the CO2 levels?Week 22

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Tops spacingMy plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?Week 7

Extra branchesI dug up the seedling cause I thought it was a dud. I put it back in the ground and it sprouted weird shaped first sets of leaves. Now I have random branches growing between nodes 1 and 2. I don't want these branches....can I clip them?Week 3

I flipped the lights to 12/12 seven days ago, 14 days in to the life of the CBD babies. Is this too soon? Yesterday I changed to 11hrs on 13hrs off, because I was expecting a lot more growth in the last seven days. Am I being too eager after not growing a Photoperiod in a while?Week 3

I have recently seen other growers partially harvest their plants. I understand the theory behind it, the lower buds get a chance to mature and bulk up. I am looking for growers that have experience in this and whether it is worth it and how you went about doing it.Week 14

This stuff smells like hay. I am having the same issue as last dry, buds smell like hay, no smell coming out. What can I do? They are in closed box, 79f (can't get it lower, 44 humidity). They have been in there for 30 hours. How can I bring out the aroma?Week 9
