Should I thin out some of the fan leaves above net? I have been just removing here and there when a bud site needs more light

I might take a few select leaves, but I really don't like doing that unless it's necessary. I want the plant to go hog wild with its growth.

Yeah...that was what my gut was telling me. Thank You!

Slowly and surely yes start plucking away. And by week 6 you shouldnt have to do it again.

??...week 6? little vague.

You WANT them bushy for now. Later you will be trimming them, don't worry.

Not quite...but not bad for 3 plants that are different strains and broke dirt 2 weeks apart from each other. I figured since flower times for all 3 are 9-11 weeks that as long as I flipped them to 12-12 at same time most problems could be dealt with. They all grow differently from each other. The Cali Orange grows faster and heartier, it seems, than the other two. It comprises more than half of the canopy.

What size tent are you growing in? So they are all a different strain? I’m nervous to run multiple strains under one light but I’m newer at growing indoors. I do like dedicating a light per plant in my 2x8 closet grow space so I can adjust accordingly. Also what light are you running? Once I get more experienced and know the strains I’m working with I’ll try putting em all under my Mars hydro FC-E3000.

4’x4’...with two ViparSpectra XS-2000 led lamps. Adding the second light has made me nervous and I have them both centered about 6” apart and about 25” above highest points of canopy. I wish I had a PAR meter! Manual recommends 18-22” and states that at that distance the PPFD value (center) is 830 um/sq meter/sec. I don’t know how to use this data to extrapolate PPFD for TWO lights! I just hope 25” is high enough!

We don't like mixing strains. It makes it complicated.

It appears they all have different thresholds of maximum tolerable light as well. Unfortunately I have no more of these seeds so I have clones vegging ready to go in tent so next grow will be eclectic as well. I don’t want their line to end.
