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

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.5y ago

Canopy is as healthy as!Leaves. Dropping off

I’m currently at week 7 flower, using biobizz nutes, and wondering when I should be flushing? People say a week?
Problem is my GDP clone looks a little further along, and I’m struggling to see the trichomes with my cheap loupe. I’m worried I’m already in the harvest window :(Week 12

I am attempting to mainline again. My first time was not too successful, but it worked out OK. The question is: Should I remove the fan leaves at this point? I did that on the last topping and it seemed to accelerate the growth, but not sure if these are big enough. thanksWeek 5

It is the end of 9th week (5th of flowering) and the hairs are becoming curled and brown. Now, I cannot see if thricomes are milky because I have no microscope so my question is: how can I understand when to flush the plants? Is it now the right time or should I wait a week more?Week 9

So I was hoping to move these guys outside soon into 5 gallon pots in my garden. I know marijuana can be pretty hardy, but I was looking at the extended forecast and it's still dipping down into the mid-high 40's F at night. What temp range can I safely move them outside?Week 7
