Hazeberg
started grow question 2y ago
I'm thinking about to remove the 2 huge top leafs to give more light to the lower branches. What would you suggest? Keep them or remove them?

every flower should get as much light as possible. if lst is not possible, defoliating sounds like a good next step. I would try to tuck the leaves under the branches, if not possible i would cut 'em off 100%

Hello fellow growers.. pretty happy so far, but I've a question about Indica #4. I'm topping my plants 3 times to create 8 main cola's. #4 grows not symmetrical so I'm not sure where to make the cut. It would be great if someone can tell me.

Has anyone used the Phlizon COB LED 3000W (629W) ? the company states to keep LED lights on at 30-40 inch. and only to use COBS in heavy veg/flowering when the plant is strong. does it make sense to use both COBs and LEDs for full cycle? and at what hang height

How should I judge this plant competition? First to finish? Weight? Both plants are same strain and started at the same time. Open to multiple category judgement. Thanks

Seems on my last grow I must have had a hermie that I didn’t see. I have found a bunch of seeds so 👎. I did a quick clean of the tent before this round, but is there anything anyone would suggest before I have buds starting? Spray for foliage and or tent walls etc.

If plants heal while the lights are out, is it better to prune/leaf clear right before lights out? Right as lights come on? Or mid day?

2 days ago when I opened my tent, I saw some kind of white/translucid liquid on the leaves, I'm really not sure where is it coming from. I have updated the diary with pictures showing the problem. Humidity is normal and I haven't change anything in my set-up.

Hey everyone. I’m having a little trouble keeping humidity up now that I’m in flower. Does anyone know how to keep the humidity in a tent up during flower without misting? Really don’t want to risk mold
