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

Defoliation autoflowed
Hello, am planning to do defoliation What did you all think? It's autoflowed and looks like the bush has too many branches inside I don't know what to do I do not like popcorn and there are so many that do not receive light so I think they waste energy

I followed some advise and removed a lot of leaves, big and some small, I am regretting it. Im on week 7, day 47. Was this a mistake to do it so early?

Hi fellow growers! Light question. Using a 600w LED with veg and flower switches. I’ve been using both spectrums since starting flower as I figured 600w full spectrum is better than 300w just flower? Is this okay? I’d prefer to use as much wattage as possible to maximise yields.

My growing experience is mainly with autoflowers and when it comes to breeders estimated flowering time for photo plants, when does it begin? If a breeder estimates 8 weeks, is that from 12/12 flip or from the appearance of flowers?

Would a few days of rain stunt its growth a lot? Would that effect yield? The rain isn't the problem as I will bring it under cover but then it won't get much sun

How do you know or choose the right Ec for each phase of the plant? or how much to raise it in each irrigation? My range is usually from 0.2 to 1.2 ... it depends on the strain. Do you think it is more important to know the strain than to follow a table of nutes? Thank you!

So I messed up my timer and plants went back to veg . I'm on week 9 of flower and they look like they have a ways to go. Since revegging do I start my weeks over again? Or just watch them and listen? Will this event degrade the potency of the bud?

I've heard topping autos is ill-advised. Any advice on the topic? Should i just let this girl go on naturally or should i top her? I want to milk her for the best yield possible.

Only grown autos before which i know are light feeders and i only started them off with plain water then root booster until a week or so old and was wondering should i do the same with these photoperiods or should they be fed more even at seedling stage?

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?
When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

From what point on do you start counting days and weeks? From the day you put the seed in the starting plug? (less likely), the day she sprouts? the day she show her first true leaves? the day you repot her?
