Topped the plants last night before bed and woke up and said fuck it and went ahead and did a mass defoliation. I plan to flip them to flower a week from today. They look pitiful after defoliating them but I am trusting sshz and how he swears by it. Time will tell. They are 27 days old today. Light is at 24” above plants at 50% power. Temp around 74 today with a 65% RH.
Wait, so you are saying to not defoliate for one week before flipping?If you flip them a week from topping & defoliating them you will sacrifice yield and quality. I made the exact same error on my first run.
You need to be patient and wait for the plant to start taking off again. It usually takes close to 2 weeks to recover from that much stress. Those plants are small and you just removed a significant portion of their biomass.

do you use calmag because of your LED lights ? If not, that might be an option to strengthen your plants against heavy LED lightsI really blew it with this grow concerning the lights. I kept trying to cut up the dimmer and give them more lumens too quickly. I have given them light stress a few different times. It’s amazing how powerful these LED lights are right now I am still at 24” above the highest point of the tallest plant and the power is at around 45%. If I increase it at all it burns them.
Yes I have been using cal mag since they were seedlings.do you use calmag because of your LED lights ? If not, that might be an option to strengthen your plants against heavy LED lights
Humidity has become a major issue in this south Florida weather. It’s crazy in the beginning I couldn’t get the humidity high enough. I just bought a dehumidifier today it will be here next Wednesday.Looking good man! Are you going to put up a scrog net? In two weeks its going to be packed in there. A net could help you control it. Powdery mildew is a mfer, keep an eye out, therss a lot of plants in there, its going to get thick!
Hell yeah, and it begins!! Love the flip haha. Flipping mine in 2 weeks, I can’t wait hahaPhoto dump.
Yeah I did, are you gonna be using a scrogg?Did you notice how the did so dos #33 is about 6 inches taller than every other plant? It’s really complicating my light height.
Man what you said. I also found anything under 24” resulted in problems. I am running my notes at ~1500ppm and the plants love it. I was scared at first I thought for sure it would burn them up but under these lights you are right you have got to give them a lot of nutes.I had similar issues with the power of those lights. Found that they need massive amounts of nutes to be able to handle the light at near full power.
