Should I be trimming any of these leaves ?

[Gmix]

Ahh right vendor recommendations.
Take them with a massive pinch of salt in real life 12” is way to close

 

[Diranged]

your light is a bit close, you should raise it 10 inches,., what light you got and how close is it?
also how much and how often you water?
size of bags/pots?

I’m in 5 gal pots , I water roughly 2litres a pot every other day now ( till run off ) now ! Up untill a couple of days ago I had messed up the watering a bit by not watering till run off but thanks to you guys that’s under control ( see my under watering post . Lights are Mars hydro TSL 200 , if u see my above post you’ll see height and reasoning . Thanks for help bru

Haha don’t you love that explosion

Imo I wouldn’t have a led lower than 18” there to intense to have lower

The explosion is unreal I’m so happy with the work we did yesterday now z Okies I’m gunna raid them

 

[Diranged]

It’s like you guys are saving me from disaster day by day . I’ve raised them now to 18 inches and honestly it feels much better . One of the very bottom young side shoots I’d tucked over a daddy leaf had crisped up a bit (looked like light exposure ) so I cut it off but left the stem and it’s sister baby leaf which had minimal crisping . Should I just get rid of it . It’s only a tiddler . I’ll post some overall photos on a bit , got morning chores to do and responding to all your messages

Rest is just as important as tending to them. Give them 4-5 days no touch after topping. I like to give 3 days between any defoliating. I will defoliate and top and LST in the same sitting, but I always allow X days of rest, depending on the amount of work I do in that session. But always give rest after stress for healthy growth.

Allow rest after any of these are performed:
-topping
-defoliating
-nutrient PPM bumps
-transplants
-pushing flower
-after a flush
-light intensity/distance adjustment

I’m obviously joking when I say this but how much bloody rest do they need they sit in the equator all day long sun gazing No I hear you , I’ll be honest I haven’t applied this as much as I should of because I guess as noob I’ve been putting out fires every other day I’ve learnt so much last few days ..

Hey bro , yeah this is something I’ve been unsure off honestly as there’s so much conflicting . It’s a Mars Hydro TSL 2000 ( dimmable ) they’re currently sitting between 12/14 inches at 75 percent but I keep moving them up . It’s only at that height because that’s what the vendor suggests in their guides etc . But I’ve been playing around with the idea of raising them to like 16 ? Thanks for your input bru

Bro, I veg at 40% output 30-36 inches above canopy. Less is more in veg
2 vipar p2000 and a spider farmer se3000
I’m also familiar with ts series, I run 2 ts1000 too on my seedling rack….
A lot of space between my lights and canopy at all times. Manufactures specs are garbage.

 

[Diranged]

Nice one bru ! So turn down ? Mine is the slim TSL 2000 .. it’s at 75 percent at currently 18 ‘

 

[Diranged]

I measured the DLI and PPFD with photone on my phone ( homemade diffuser etc ) it was reading lower than the margins cited in internet research so honestly I turned them up

I had them physically lower untill earlier anyway so not an issue other than a stressful couple of days for them ! Now to get on top of the VPD anyway I’m going to leave them as much as poss for a few days . Thanks for all input as ever , has kicked me into gear to get on top of it all or as much as I can

Raise it too. Look at what mines set at….
They are strong lights homie….
I’d put it up to 24 inches at least. And crank it back to 40% output or lower.

Never needed it.

So I’m a newbie using newbie kit kinda so with a mix of mentorship from you guys and @Bdubs ive got the PPFd set at around 450 and gunna keep it at 18’ and continue to LST untill flower I presume . I don’t want to muck about with their Sun much more as they’d had a stressful couple of days . I hear what your saying , I’m mostly responding to the raw data If I’m honest as I play about with knowing what’s right . I appreciate your input though , it’s good to know their are nuances to it all

Best of luck homie!

I don’t really see what’s bold about sticking to general recommendations in regards to data but thanks for the veiled compliment anyway !
