I am a new grower trying to grow Chrystal by Nirvana.
I have Phlizon 900w. LED Veg. lights going in a 3x3x5 tent and 6 plants. Temp is 78 degrees and humidity is 55% , ph with and without Nutrients is 6.2. Over the last few weeks I have brought the light down from 36" to 21" above the canape. I topped at the 5th. node and my plants are going into week 4 with no shock. They are only 4.5 inches tall in a 5 gal. cloth pot. and 3.5 gal. plastic pot. Do they need more light?
Any suggestions? Is it OK?
Thanks so much for all your help😗Week 3

hello guys
I'm dealing with a gnats infestation. I'm treating my girl with neem oil and adhesive stripes so my questions are
1. can you confirm these are fungus gnats?
2. any advice?
3. how to water? I don't want to wet the soil because this would make things worse

Webs in Canopy, What should I do?I'm worried I have a pest. I have found two separate areas in my canopy sith Webs like those in my last picture. I'm not sure if its from a spider or something else. I'm not sure if I should start IPM now, or if it's too late? Is it harmful to the plant to have the web on it?

Pest Control/Prevention before flower?Noticed this on one of my leaves, I already had to deal with the mite situation with my cucumber. Are they the cause of this? or another pest possibly? What methods other then neem oil and my homemade spray can help me fend them off even more?

They are each planted in 1 gallon smart pots and were directly planted into 5 gallons after roughly 27 days. I noticed my plants are small compared to others and was wondering if this had anything to do with it. Roots pierced their 1g pots around 30-40 days and are still going.Week 1
