Light penetration is good enough outdoor, so there less point doing it than indoor where light penetration quickly decrease.

Over the next several weeks...What should I expect to see, regarding the fan and sugar leaves. Do the nutes in the leaves get consumed for flower production? I don't want to freak out over any change in appearance. I plan on only using pH'd water till harvest. Thanks 4 the advice

Any suggestions?These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?

Cutting fan leaves Just cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?

Hi growers! Should I change my light schedule for my plants when they come to flowering period? Now I have grow-LEDs (300W) at 18 hr/day and daylight-LEDs (120W) at 24 hr/day. Plants start to get bushy and start dwarfling - i'm concerned I have too much light on them.
