Plants Growing Taller Than Light
DennisBudmanstarted grow question 5y ago
My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?

Hello. The technique you will want to look in to is Super Cropping. Where you take the tallest branches and bend them over so you have a 90 degree angle. Please look for a diary with this technique or ask Mr. Google. Good Luck. Chuck.

Lighting. Increase or stay the same?Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.)
I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

Lamp to plant distance: is 40cm enough during flowering phase?Started with 70cm (afraid to "burn" the leaves), but moved it down to 40cm after checking other grow diaries for auto seeds.
Should we keep the lamp ~25-40cm away from the plant from now on?
*Lamp is a 300W LED panel (full spectrum)Week 7

Autoflower light scheduleSoon rolling into veg for my first auto grow.
Currently on an 18/6 light schedule using Mars Hyrdo II 700w .
Don’t have any problems with temp/humidity inside tent.
Once you notice the buds starting to flower do you switch to 12/12 or just keep plugging away with 18/6?Week 4
