, 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.

Bend Her Over?
Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?

Too fast, too high
So here's the question. The box height is 1.5M. plant is already 75cm + pot size. Apollo-1 is getting closer and closer to the lights, which I don't like. It has 35-40cm left till light panel. Do you recommend to super crop the center, main stem?Or do you have any other solution?

Can I snip the end of leaves at 3 weeks?
Is it okay to snip the end of 3 week old leaves off? Reason I ask is because I have seen it done on a diary where the point of the leaves are snipped straight. Also one plant has suffered from light burn on the end edge so was thinking I could do it here if it will help growth.

Thinking of cutting losses on a re-veg plant 3 weeks in flower. Better for me replace it when other good plant ready. What would you do?
Accidental re-veg, 3 weeks into flower on one plant of two in same tent. Other plant, ready for harvest in 12 days, revegged plant still looks 3 weeks in after fixing light leak. I got two large plants ready to replace them both in 12 days. Should I bubble hash bad plant or flowr

ARE AUTOS ALWAYS PURE BREED? (REVEG AUTOS)
What I want to do is try to reveg the plant (going 24h+blue led) after I've cut the top coal, so the lower coals con grow in direct light. Doing so with no autoflowering breeds is normal but, on the paper, autos are on a death clock.. Can you have mixed genetics autos?

How to do "LST" on Autoflowering Plants ?
Hello dear growdiaries community, so on my last question people recommended NOT to use "Topping" for Automatic Strains but infact only use "LST" my question would be how that works, do i just bend down the leaves with the little things on the stem (marked on picture) 😂 thanks.

So, in the last week, I have seen absolutely no growth in my plants...any of them. They seem to have stalled themselves out after they popped up from the dirt. Is there something I'm missing here? Normally I see them bulk up at this point.

Ideal temp and humidity for autoflower strains.
Based on what I have researched, it looks like photosensitive and auto strains require different parameters. Is that true? Is 75°-85°F ideal? Is 40%-70%RH ideal?

2 seedlings, one cup.
Has anyone ever grown two autoflowering strains(different or the same strain) in one container? Other than root entanglement, what issues did you have? I assume feeding will be an issue..
