answered grow question 7y ago
Go a bit away with it and move it everytime a bit closer till the plant shows negative reactions. I never used a Mars Hydro but i would suggest a distance about 30cm (+/- 5cm). I would start with 40cm and move it slowly closer👍

Did I FIM and train correctly enough?
hoping my plant looks like she's supposed to. She is an autoflower, and I did a lot of stressful training. FIM, LST, and defoliation. I wont be training her from here on, I don't want to add more stress. last grow with same seed started showing bananas 2 weeks before harvest.

I am looking for an organic replacement for Fox Farms Tiger Bloom and Grow Big. I like the Big Bloom product being organic but really need a nitrogen and PK replacement as we consume a large amount medically. I prefer something that eliminates the need for flushing. Thanks

I am attempting to mainline again. My first time was not too successful, but it worked out OK. The question is: Should I remove the fan leaves at this point? I did that on the last topping and it seemed to accelerate the growth, but not sure if these are big enough. thanks

Flowering time was 8 weeks. We are at 11 weeks. Keep watering just water or let her go into dryer conditions before harvest? How much longer should I wait? I’ll snap a better pic but if anyone has any suggestions or opinions, please send em. 🙏

Can someone tell me if the flowers are burned? the ends of the pistils are brown. It may be that the treatment with potassium soap has damaged the pistils? I always apply them in hours without sun. Thank you very much !!

Defoliate or not?
So here i have 3 GSC’s. One is growing real slow so I’ve not done LST. One the 2 that i have done LST which are bigger ive defoliated one a little bit just yesterday. I can already notice its growing taller now than the other. Think i should do the same defoliation on the other?
