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 !💪

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFF
it is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it. Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same. Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one. In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

Hello I wanted to try 2x Strawberry Pie Auto from Fastbuds soon. And I'm unsure about my equipment. All the data I can give you is in the picture! Is the 300w lamp too bright for the tent? If the lamp is fine, how high should I hang it?
