How can increase the resin at this time, and make buds like a rock!!?? I have a hps 150w that a turn on when the days are colder, 3 to 5 hours during the day to increase temps, and add some lumens! I also give some extra CO2! But I want to know opinions!? Thanks a lot

First hydro. Is there anything I'm forgetting about ppm, maintaining pH from the resevoir, keeping rot from growing (non-issue with hydroguard right?) , etc? I plan on something for light, and change the jar and nutes if needed. Will let the roots breathe at the top.Canna->Lucas.

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?

Since this is my first time with topping and LST, it would be nice to have some feedback/comment from other growers. I'm wondering when i can switch to 12/12: I'd like to do this ASAP since the temperatures will raise a lot in summer (i expect 30°C in the end of june)

My plan was not to defoliate the autos, as I've read much debate on this. I'm curious if it's in my best interest to take a couple of these bottom guys off that are touching the pot for a bit better air flow. Thoughts?

I have a 150W (50 3w LEDS) and a 300W (60 5w LEDS). I've been using just the 300W for the entire grow in my grow box which is only 4' X 1.5' X 1.1' Does anyone think I should be using the 150W light at any point in the grow, and if so, when?
