@HarbingerOfHarvests , 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.

2nd Run Off Photoperoid Indoor → Outdoor TransitionThinking of planting this outside after harvest...
1) chop just the cola branches, leave all lower nodes/branches
2) reveg the plant to regrow leaves/branches from lower nodes
2.5) transplant outside once ready
3) harvest the plant a 2nd time.
Any insight/advice?3 years ago

Re-vegging adviceI'm trying to stop my plants from flowering. They started to approx a week ago and I've increased the light period and decreased the resting to only a few hours a night. I'm wondering if it's best to cut the small buds forming or allow to continue.Week 2

To trim or not to trim - bud sitesAt this point during flowering, this is where I see different information. Should I allow all bud sites to do their thing?
From reading, the growing community is split where some people trim off lower and others seem to say if there’s a bud leave it.Week 5
