bigmomma216started grow question 4 years ago
How far should my light be from the plants while they are still trying to breach the surface of the soil? Do i need to put the light very close to the soil so the seed can try to reach it? Thanks!!

Technically when they have yet to break soil light isn't required. I personally kept mine 30+ inches above for when they did break through. 👊

Hi there,
On Veg stage & first weeks ,80cm is good to go, let your lady stretch up and seek for light, then when your plants go into Flowering cycle 50cm is perfect.
Also you can check out your light’s (brand)recommended height in the web to be double sure!
Happy growing

When to use wick systemI was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

Triplets in autoflower seed ?Hey guys, I've germinated one Lemon AK Auto seed from Fast Buds and I've noticed two root taps coming out. Next day one fell off, but I planted it anyways and now I have one extra small plant. Today I've noticed that THIRD plant is emerging from the same seed. What would you do ?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
