started grow question 7y ago
My light is an LED sitting around 8.66inch (22cm) above my plants. The light is cool and no excess heat is reaching the plants, but is this still too low?

Does not seem like it. When the light is too close, the leaves, will curl upward and yours look fine.

LED or HID? You have stated HID at the top but are asking about LED.

What power is the LED? Height above the plant depends on the power of the lamp

Defoliating FastBuds Autos
Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

When to start defoliating
Defoliating plants? When do you guys generally start stripping back leaves? And are they worth keeping at vegging stage? Just for context, very light LST, so no lollipoping etc. Cheers

Switch to flowering
I did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?

My previous grow was from feminized seeds. Upon grinding the flowers I found few healthy seeds in the buds. Are those seeds feminized? and where did you find the answer. Thanks so much gents

Does tying down branches make a huge difference in quantity? Why wouldnt you perform LST? My plants are super bushy, at what point do they start to take off vertically? Thanks!

Do you remove small "buds" when doing defoliation?
When doing defoliation, are you removing these small "buds" (see pictures) that are not getting enough light?

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

Defoliate now?
I normally don't ask more than one question a week, but I believe I'm at a critical point with my wedding glue. She hasn't grown at all in the last 2 days at 14.5". I haven't defoliated yet because of stretch, but I think she's done. Should I defoliate or wait a few more days?

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?

Looking for lollipopping advice
How and when to properly do lollipopping? Is it a single or a multiple day process, what would cause less stress? I wanted to do it on more than one day, try a slow process, just remove from bottom to top whatever won't get enough light, any suggestions?
