, I use 600w HID (HpS, mh) and a small LED for spectrum. Light meter just gives me an idea what the canopy is getting.

Anything free, probably won't work. Best option is to buy an actual lux meter, instead of using your phone. They're like 30$ or something, so won't make you starve.

Do you micromanage your grow...I do!?
"Poll" question...how many of us spend enormous time caring for our plants. Checking temperatures, humidity, water, nutrients, air turnover, light, canopy, VPD, pests, supplements and just about everything...all the time!? Maybe it gets easier with better equipment/knowledge lol.

Only allowed 3 plants
I’m only allowed 3 flowering and 3 veg plants at a time in my state, what would be the best training techniques to maximize space in my 5x5 with this short/bushy girl? I’m thinking topping, LST and scrogging after a long veg period to really grow out the branches.

Is she ready for harvest? Or what is my next step?
Is she ready for harvest? I’m thinking no, but close and I should check her every day. Yes, my pathetic 1st attempt growing, & I respect the advice given to me to give up & start over, I want to finish to harvest for the learning experience of the whole process.

Off shoots stay or go away?
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST
