For a decent result yes you definitively can do that. If I remember right 5 or 6 hours of sun is the minimal amount the plants need. Then the more the better but you are way above the minimal.

When does flowering begin?
π·πΌπΉIβm curious how you all think about this. What do you consider to be day 1 or week 1 of flowering in an auto? Is it when the pre flowers appear? Or when the buds appear? This is my 3rd grow and I have this question every time. When does vegetating end and flowering begin?

Remove Half-Solo Cup from pot, or leave it?
Should I remove the half-solo cup from the pot or leave it? I don't want to hurt any root growth. I plan on topping off the pot with more coco/perlite this week. I used this technique to avoid transplanting.

dli 40x40 growbox lamp distance problem
hi guys, I have a ts1000 at a distance of 50cm they tell me to lower it to 40cm but the dli would greatly exceed (60 dli photone) the recommended threshold of 40/45. Having a 40x40 growbox, in your opinion, at what distance should I keep the lamp?

Smallest plant in the world. When do I pick it? Much faster flowering time to normal plants. (half posting for lols)
You'd be hard pressed to find a smaller cannabis plant anywhere in the world. So.... I had issues with the roots when it was in the rockwool, was going to do DWC, decided to put in soil due to issues. It's taken like 3 weeks to flower to this stage, not sure when to pick it.

Distance from pot to light during germination
Worried about our light power and distance to the pots, should we be running it at full power with the light higher in the tent or vice versa? Also very unsure about watering amounts in these early stages and is it okay for water droplets to be sitting on the growth? TIA

I'm still trying to raise my soils pH, I'm using Olympus up which has lime, should I give a higher dose or jus pH water till pH runoff goes up?
If I use nectar for the gods Olympus up which has lime in it and I'm having low soil pH probs, should I use more Olympus up and adjust my pH and would that help raise my soils pH? Or should I jus use pH water until my pH runoff is where I want it? Advice greatly appreciated.

I cut my OS, but...
In your opinion, after 10 weeks (checking the trichomes, which were all milky and very few amber), will the plant have developed enough? Will the effect I'll get be noticeable or will it do nothing? I'd like to briefly understand the various differences in harvesting and the effe
