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’s my girls looking? I didn’t get the smaller one planted until 2 weeks after the first one popped. She is a little slow to the game and I imagine she’ll turn out alright.

Does anyone know what that thing is that is growing out of the node in the last picture? The picture doesn't really do it much justice, but I'm thinking it's either the start of a seed, or it's beginning to bud. I should mention that there are 0 white hairs anywhere on the plant.

Defoliation In 1st Week?
I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.

What would be the most efficient light for a single plant indoor grow? My hope is to have one plant sustained through winter months and outdoor grow each summer. I've been to a number of sites and advice varies, so I thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks in advance.

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

Guys I have a question about ppm. So only my last grow I always used ro water. My ppm was only as high as 500-600. Now does this mean as the plant gets bigger I have use non-ro water later on in order to get it up?? As long as my ph is good and nutrients are not too high why not?

most synthetic nutrients companies have a recommended dosage per week. at different stages of growth. Other growers say to use half strength of recommended dosage. Which should I follow.

I have a pretty decent heat wave stretch coming my way late next week after the 4th. What’s the best way to protect an outdoor crop in full sun during a heatwave? Obviously the easiest way would be to move it, (she’s in a container) but I have a tarp on hand as well.

To prune or not to prune?
I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
