So you have 16 x 20w bulbs so 320w of total power. 45w of led is recommended for 1 square foot so for 9 square feet you need 9 × 45 = 405w so you are not so far and I'v seen nice harvest with less than that. However to maximise you led light distribution I recommend you to take a look at @Athos diaries as he his also using led bulb with a method he call screw in led : you just need to remove the opaque part of the bulb ( I think it is the bulb it self) to only keep the light but check his diaries it's better explained than I can do 😊

What leaves are ok to remove?Hi! Is it fine to remove the upper fan leaves on this plant as well or should I wait thill the side branches get bigger leaves? I removed the lowers leaves after LST so nothing touches the soil, but some of them are blocking a bit light for the new growth. Thanks!

I am getting a new 45w led full spectrum light for my seedlings. When is the best time to switch the seedling over to my other light? It is a 2000w led full spec also, very, very strong and I do not want the little girls to burn up or get stunted with the power of the light.Week 7

I am concerned at the large crack I found near the base of my plant. I have this plant tied down in several spots and I'm assuming that is what caused the cracks. Is there anything I can do or should do to to minimize the damage? It's been tied down for about 12 days now.Week 14

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

Did I chop at the right time? She's an autoflower in week 8 of flower and week 12 total. Dinafem say it's an 80 day plant and it's day 81. The big fan leaves are yellow and dying. Some of the small leaves closer to bud sites are yellowing/dying. 90% of the pistils are dead/red.Week 12

Week eight of my outdoor Gorilla Zkittlez grow and plants look far from finished yet all trichomes look milky white and the odd amber on some sugar leaves. I feel that it’s still too early to harvest yet I’m not sure.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Cutting fan leavesJust cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?
