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👍

How often do you guys top your plants? I tested it and I topped an indoor plant 5 different times in a 8 week veg!

I always heard that sometimes, auto's can stay in VEG for ever and wont switch to flower like they supposed to. Am suprised and kinda excited to see it happen with my own plant. I was wondering if anyone had this issue before and were the solutions you guyz tried .

Defoliate/Prune or let it be?
Should I prune any of these leaves or just let it go au naturel? If so what should I prune? I’d hate to kill it by removing something I shouldn’t.

Too much trimming up top?
I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?

Anyone knows why my pistils do dry out? Did blow some bong hits into my box and have some cat hair in the air and on the buds? Could that be the fault?

Defoliating during flowering
I'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stage
Hi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.
