I can think of LST, topping and suppercropping. In that stage suppercropping is probably the most healthy thing for the plant, but probably the technique you are familiar with will do it. It will stress the plant but push the other one a lot

raise the lamps if you don't want to burn your flowers... If you can't rise anymore, try to bend over the branches. Good Luck !💪

LED distance in grow 80x80x160
I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant. I have 4 plants Is it ok like this? I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant. LED QB 120w, LM301H

Change lights off time?
I'm having trouble with temperature control. My nights get too cold. My current lights off time is 12am-6am. Is it possible to change it? I really want my lights off to be from 9am-3pm. I think that would help me a lot. How do I change it? Let my lights run for 27 hours?

Light cycle messed up do I have leverage for one mistake?
Timer messed up the cycle and stayed on for an extra 12 hours.. So in total she was, for 24 hours in light... Soon as I noticed I manually turned off. Now the question is.. It's messed up and now off when supposed to be on vice versa, does the one mistake matter so much, seeding?

Can I switch my lighting schedule ?
Hello everyone. 1st grow here. I'd like to swap my lighting (automatic plants) from [4am:midnight] to [4pm:noon] just to keep the temperature a little higher at night. Is it doable while not hurting the ladies or should I shift it an hour per day to change the cycle ? Thanks !

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?
So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both available
Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 1500W immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!
