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

If I wanted to try monster cropping this batch, when is the best time to take the clones? And should I target the small popcorn colas at the bottom for cloning or would I have better luck with one of the top colas?

Ok, just trying to plan ahead. I read many things about making changes in nutes, switching to plain water, flushing, etc...referencing off 1-2 weeks from harvest. How do I know I am 2 weeks from harvest? What are the signs?

Hey guys, I’ve seen some posts where the plant is of an auto flower type, where the growers have topped it. I’ve also heard from many people that if I top my autoflower it will cause stress and flower? Any help clarifying this? 🙈

I started noticing drooping on one plant about 4 days ago. I know it’s not overwatering, but thought it might be under watering, but still no change. The leaves appear to be a very dark olive color. Watered with a little kelp as I thought maybe heat stress. Thoughts? Help?

Please take a look at my Original Amnesia 1, the one on the left, its buds are hardly developing with very little trichomes. is this genetic or does something seem to be wrong? the OA to the right is the same age and is developing a lot faster and denser and is full of tricomes.

Fast Buds recommend early doses of Cal Mag for the Zkittelz Auto and a heavier feeding regime - how early do we add Cal Mag and what strength nutes do we start at and go up to? Thank you in advance for any help or advice :)

Auto defoliation during flowering?
My autos are 40-44" tall from top of soil...they seem massive or maybe this is normal. Question is, is defoliation acceptable throughout flowering for large fan leaves? All my pics are post defoliation not pre. Thoughts? Thx in advance!

How do I get more control over flowering start outdoors? In my location, the 12 hours of darkness begins September 25th. 😎 The average chance of frost begins September 15. This year it was earlier. Should I grow auto-flowers outdoors?
