Hi @WRabang! I won't recommend such a risky operation if your plant is already flowering. This could be a good idea if done 2-3 weeks before flipping into flowering mode, since the plant will have some time to develop new roots and fill up the new container, before putting all its energy into buds and resin production. But now it's too late, root development usually stop 2-3 weeks after blooming has begun. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

It should give your roots more room to develop, which should result in a larger plant. But I'm not sure if it would make much difference now that you are 3 weeks into flower. Good luck!

I am getting a new 45w led full spectrum light for my seedlings. When is the best time to switch the seedling over to my other light? It is a 2000w led full spec also, very, very strong and I do not want the little girls to burn up or get stunted with the power of the light.

Defoliation during early flowering I wonder whether trimming the lower (big) leaves would be beneficial? Because they’re all shaded now but maybe they participate in the transpiration process at night?

Testing out my grow box and it’s running at temps from 85-89 degrees. Will this hurt the plants in a hydro setup? I haven’t checked water temps yet. Any advice would be much appreciated. I have the Supercloset Superbox setup with SuperPonics 8.

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

Hey guys, compared to other grows in the week 8 stage, my plant looks quit small and stunted. Does anyone think I could have done something better? maybe I was too aggressive with training or defoliating. I was hoping to be flipped to flower by now.

Defoliation - 5th week flowering Heey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high
