Hey Grizzly you have to kinda read the plants to see where they want the light. Seedlings dont need much light for the first couple of weeks. If the seedling starts to get tall and leggy looking then it wants the light closer. If it curls up on the edges or doesnt get taller and get any space between the nodes then it either has heat/ light stress. That means the light is too close. With that being said they look pretty happy right now. I would move it down about an inch every couple of days until you get to 24 inches and let it run there while you monitor what they are doing. You can then decide of you want to go closer. Learning to read what your plants are telling you is the most valuable skill you can learn in this hobby. Hope this gets you headed in the right direction. Good luck

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!2 months ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flowerI am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

I am noticing that many parts of the plant do not receive enough light. Would you recommend cutting any more knots? (I do not know if it is advisable to prune any branch more once the plant is in flowering) or simply remove a couple of leaves.Week 5

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.4 years ago
