, 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 pump music for your plants🎶🌱 I know there is some science behind this, but have you actually noticed any difference!? I've read they prefer classical or heavy metal 🤘

Removing popcorn buds and small bottom branches/flowers on Week10
Hi guys, Day66 with my autoflower, 3 more weeks to go before harvest. This is my 1st grow so I didn’t do too much besides LST. No topping, no fimming etc. Is it safe to remove the popcorn buds from the bottom and some small branches that don t reach light? Will this hurt her? Ty

Should I trim my flower?
Firstly I want bud that is as potent as possible. Secondly I want a big yield. I have heard that trimming will direct energy to buds. Is trimming something I should do right now, judging by how it looks? Or should I just let it grow? I have plenty of space, so that's not an issue

Type of water? Let tap water sit out?
What type of water do you use to water? I'm just using tap water and will be using a pH meter and ppm so it's in the tps one suggested range. People say tap water needs to sit out to let chlorine evaporate? Ppm is 220 out the faucet.

Drying Best Practices?
Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?
