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 !💪

Shifting outdoor plants from outdoor to indoor
So I was wondering if outdoor plants(week 2) getting regular sunlight (~12-13 hours) can be shifted indoors for faster growing (18/6 or 24/0 or 20/4)? Anyone tried before? it is safe? Will it cause to make them hermaphrodite?

Should I use Blue light switch or Red light switch or both for vegetative growth?
I'm currently using a Giixer 1000W LED grow light. The lamp has two switches. One for "blue" light ay 450nm and one for "red" at 600-700nm. I am currently in week one of the vegetative stage. I have both switches on for "full spectrum" lighting. Blue or Red switch alone?

Dialing in FC-E6500
Hey!👋😺. I have a question about distance for anyone using the FC-E6500 (no meter). All the lit. we've found says 12" the entire grow and simply adjust the dimmer throughout plant stages. This really doesn't sound right to me. We're now at 13"/50% (12"/75% was too much) TY!❤️🌱

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent. Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away
