It’s safe to turn on all your lights at this point. Do this: start at low power if you can and slide it up over the period of a few days. Slow subtle changes are always best. Nothing good happens quickly with plants, only bad stuff.
Once at full power slide your lights lower 1” per day until you see signs of stress. It’ll be one of three things.
1. The leaves praying to the lights(upturned tips)
2. Leaf edges curling up
3. Top leaves yellowing.
Once you see any sign of any of that back them up an inch. Now you’re in the sweet spot for this strain. Measure the distance and try to keep your lights in that range as the plants grow.

That really depends on how much space you have and if those 1500 watts are true watts or equivalent. With COB led lights, you start getting diminishing returns when going over 40 true watts per sq ft. Second, before adding more light I would try to get the light closer, 24 inches distance means that you loose quite a bit of intensity.

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia.
Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed.
What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Defoliation in SCRoG - Leave it or do it?Tomorrow will be day 21 of 12/12. I am of the opinion of letting the plant canabilise itself for nutes that are stored for exactly what it needs, when it needs *which it is doing on the low/no light leaves but what are other peoples opinions/experience.

Is periodic, light defoliation ok for autoflowers?Hi Growmies!
As a beginner, I decided to leave one plant untrained, but I am noticing some large fan leaves preventing light from reaching lower branches. Is it ok (or beneficial) to periodically remove a large fan leaf if it is blocking light? I hear autos are tricky.

Remove lower branchesWould it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?
