Maybe but if you are uncertain you can wrap in black tape or put in a can cooler as Silky suggested

What would be the best temperature for my water to be when watering my plants outside in hot weather?? I read things that say ice cold water and others say room temp water. I would like to understand this better. My plants are big and dry out almost everyday.

Plants are 2 weeks old, approx 2 inches (5cm) tall in 3 gallon (11.5L) pots. I'm watering them with 1/2 cup (125ml) twice a day, and only around the base of the plants. Should I be watering 1 cup once a day? Am I under-watering? Do they need more water than what they're getting?

My new lights has a veg and bloom switch for different spectrum, i was thinking of switching off the grow spectrum 2 weeks prior to harvest to simulate the sun being farther at late season , what do you guys think about that? Am i just waisting lights or is it worth the try?

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Hi growers! I would like to ask to you: What does it mean the white pistils on the buds which are still developing. I think she is not ready to harvest. Just a little trichomes are still clear. Humboldt guide says she will be ready for 70-75 days. She have 92 days. Thx for answer

So, I'm getting an upgrade! Moving from the blurple LED to the spider farm sf1000 or sf2000. For those of you that own this lighting series what would you recommend for a 4x4x6.5' tent with four plants. Is the core spread in the sf1000 adequate or is the 2000 what I want? Thanks!

Defoliate or not yet?
The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

Ive got 2-3 weeks to go, as you can see by the Week 11 lower canopy pics I missed some bud sights on the lower levels when defoliating. They are still mostly pistils and I know they wont get a ton of light or develop alot. Is it worth the stress to remove them now or let em go?

This is the second time some bird is damaging my plant. Some pigeon has uprooted the seedling. I noticed it hours later in the night. Root was almost intact, it was just uprooted and left there. I have replanted her now. Will she recover?? How to deal with birds in outdoor grow?
