Athosanswered grow question 5 years ago
Each LED is different and there is no standard distance like with other light sources (like HID, T5, etc). The answer you are looking for depends on what kind of diodes your model uses (1W, 3W, 5W, 10W) and how hard they are driven (how much actual power are passed through them). The best answer would be to look on the manufacturer recommended distance. But if you can't find it, I would start at 18 inches (45 cm) and see how your plant reacts, does it stretch? Get it closer, day 12 inches (30 cm); Does it show symptoms of heat stress? Try 24 inches (60 cm). What you can do also is try different distances with the back of your hand, if it is comfortable for you, it is ok for the plants and if it is too hot for the back of your hand, then it's too hot for your plants.

Should I defoliate or not? Stunted autoBasically at the end of week 3 of flower. Question is, to defoliate or not to defoliate? She’s stunted by about 2 weeks already and I don’t think she’s going to stretch anymore… would she benefit from a light defoliation? A heavy one? Or would it be better to avoid it altogether?

Should I have trimmed the Bush?More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Defoliate? Auto Week2 flower high humidityI’m struggling to keep relative humidity below 65%-70%.
Should I defoliate some lower fan leaves to help with this? Will doing so hurt overall yield? I’m at beginning of week 2 of flower. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Pruning lower growthI read that in maximizing yield you trim off the lowest two set of branches. I am growing my plant horizontally to accumulate more budsites without the use of topping until I have the desired amount of branches. Is it safe to remove the lower two sets of branches?

Where to prune fan leaves?Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

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?
