started grow question 8y 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

I'm just wondering if my plants are healthy, and if there is anything else I should be doing. I am new been doing alot of research, reading, following others. They weather has been hot lately around 33 degrees during the day and around 17-19 at night. Will that affect them alot?

Found seeds developing on my sapphire og closest to the entrance of the room. Looked over the plants multiple times, and no bananas on any of the plants. Now is there any other way a plant can self pollinate or has some male pollen wandered into my room?

How important is air temperature to the first stages of vegetative growth? With LED lights my air temp is lower and I wonder if the lower heat is affecting the early rate if growth?

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.

What is the best indication for me that she is ready to harvest given that i do not have a good magnifying glass to observe the trichromes? So far i was thinking that if 70-80% of pistils turn orange on a bud its a sign that its time to harvest the cola.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)
This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

This is my first grow in a 2x4x6. I got carried away and packed it out. im on day 47 for everything. 3 autos, 6 photos. I defoliated autos right before flowering. The question I have is should I let the photos grow a little more before defoliating and or topping?

I'm growing this plant very carefully to not draw too much attention, so i'm leaving her grow without any kind of training of very specific nutrients. She looks about 1 m high, what do you guys think the harvest is going to amount to? How many weeks are left to harvest?

This plant shares a tent with a photoperiod which I need to switch to flowering (it is getting too big). Does anyone know what effect, if any, would there be on yield if I moved the light schedule to 12/12 at this late stage?
