I’m running a viparspectra 600W reflector series...

MediciGradestarted grow question 5 years ago

I’m running a viparspectra 600W reflector series LED 30 inches above these seedlings with only the veg lights turned on. The seeds went in the water 14 days ago and my question is: when should I turn on the bloom lights as well?

If you want tight internodes and keep her short and squat. Use the veg switch only. But if you want more vigorous growth with a little stretch I recommend using both switches. And if you pick option one you can keep veg switch on till week 3 of flower then turn both switches on. This will keep those internodes tight set you up with some nice dense bud.

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?Would be good to hear your thoughts on this. Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.) Thanks, Y

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering. Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?

Should I defoliate?Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. It’s day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. I’ve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks 😊

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31 I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights. I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive. What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Pruning lowest nodes?Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage? They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites. Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

Defloation in flower From looking at my picture does it look like I have defloated to much. I did clear anything below net cause looking for those big colas. Does my plant look to be on right track? Should I stop or continue defloating? If yes in what week of flowering should I stop

Thinning the Fan Leaves?When (if ever) should I thin out the fan leaves? It's my understanding that removing the majority of the fan leaves will help direct growth towards the buds, but I don't want to do this process too early. The plant is currently outside and in its 7th week of growth.

Is she too bushy/ leafy I was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now. 1. How much to take off 2. Pics of what she should look like after. Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Defoliation/grownet?Day 37 I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off. I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites. I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it? The two in one pot are taking up a lot of room now

Defoliation - what and where?Hello fellow growers and Gardners, I wanted to make a general question about defoliation to increase overall yield. What and where should I cut? All lower leaves are off already. Thanks a lot, happy growing.

Remove or not new branches Hi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary). Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure? My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation
