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

Any guess on how much longer until harvest? I'm aiming for 20% amber or more for the couch lock but I don't want to be waiting for trichomes that don't actually turn. Since this is an indica I'm sure I should see a transition from to amber it's just hard to tell if cloud or clear

Hi growers! I flipped the lights to 12/12 about a week ago, when can I expect to see pistilils forming? Another week or so? Also, when should I introduce bloom feed? As soon as the pistils come? I’m using AN ph perfect micro grow bloom, should I maintain an equal amount of all?

Did I chop at the right time? She's an autoflower in week 8 of flower and week 12 total. Dinafem say it's an 80 day plant and it's day 81. The big fan leaves are yellow and dying. Some of the small leaves closer to bud sites are yellowing/dying. 90% of the pistils are dead/red.

Wondering when everyone starts lst on their autos? Debating to train or let her do her thing. I was think between day 21 and 28 to start manipulating the growth a little bit, super careful not to stress her at all.

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?
How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏

Should I remove the two large leaves so that the rest gets more light? Have read that Kush tolerates it.

One of my girls is showing signs of N tox so I'm going to drop nutrients for the next week and just feed plain PH'd water until a good runoff. My question is; during this week should I still be giving Bud Factor X, Big Bud, and Bud Candy? There isn't N in those.

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?

😀This is my 1st time at growing Autos. I've done photo period's before. I'm growing in big air pots with soil and using the Bio Biz range & Cal Mag. I see most of you guys use many different combinations of nute's. Any tips would be really appreciated. Sauce

Is it ok to align the plants the way I did it? I just thought they could fill more space and be more comfortable that way. What do you think? Or is it better to put them all in the same direction?
