When should I remove some of the fan leaves and how many ? Sorry so new to the indoor growing lolLuckily they look Indica leaning (broad leaves, short and bushy) but when they flower..You never know..Indicas usually stretch 1-2x depending on strain and Sativa leaning..LOL..some grow over 3 ft indoors with supercropping and all.
Before you flower..I suggest remove a few inner fan leaves to permit air flow and light penetration..They will really thicken back up after the stretch so watch out for Powdery Mold (PM)..Cannabis leaves sweat and if they touch each other..wet spots will happen.
If you look at the picture..I had no idea that the Cheese on the left would get that tall and I beat the crap out of them too..LOL
The others are staying pretty short and TG, I use separate lights so I can raise and lower as needed:)
BTW: Scrogging in that small of an area will produce massive bushiness and I would not attempt floweringmore than 1 plant..
My 3x3x6 is too crowded as is, but I like to grow many strains at once..I removed my scrog to permit me to overstuffed (remember, you still have to water and tend to the plants)..I also began growing a few Regulars and if they turn out to be males..everything has to be rearranged..(My yields avg about 4.5 ounces per plant so I have more than enough..Quality is what counts IMO.

Wow that's a lot of lighting for such a small space. How are you able to keep your temps down? Even 1 600 HPS would be tough for me to deal with in that space. You'll have to move a heck of a lot of air through there to survive IMOHi all new to the indoor growing I’ve got 2 600w hps lamps in a 1.2x2.4 tent I got 10 ladies in there they are 3 weeks old how much longer should I veg for before switching 12/12 they are in batmix soil in using plant magic old time grow atm thanks in advance
It’s 1.2 m x 2.4m I do have a big exhaust outlet fan my room temp is usually 28 degreesWow that's a lot of lighting for such a small space. How are you able to keep your temps down?

We cannot post links on the forum, but if you go to growweedeasy.com..google defoliation, supercropping, LST, etc..The site is run by a lady named Nebula Haze and she is amazing..She also has a great FREE newsletter..Personally, I only defol maybe 5 leaves at a time in your stage to open things up..(You should be able to see light shining thru the canopy to the soil below)..this is again a controversial issue to say the least (in flower anyway). I remove the lower larf and lower Fan leaves just before I flip..We all do it differently..see what works best for you.. Most strains stop promoting leaf growth and concentrate energy on buds at about 3 weeks in (stretching stops)..Then I only remove the dead stuff and bend light hogs out of the way..If need be, I tie them up.When should I remove some of the fan leaves and how many ?

Thanks very much I’ll post some updated pics in a week or so when I sort it all outWe cannot post links on the forum, but if you go to growweedeasy.com..google defoliation, supercropping, LST, etc..The site is run by a lady named Nebula Haze and she is amazing..She also has a great FREE newsletter..Personally, I only defol maybe 5 leaves at a time in your stage to open things up..(You should be able to see light shining thru the canopy to the soil below)..this is again a controversial issue to say the least (in flower anyway).

Much appreciated thanks2 600's is perfect for that space. i would veg at least 2 more weeks if i was u.
Lol maybe me not explaining properlyMy bad. So that's about an 8 foot by 4 foot space and you're running at about 82 degrees F You can live with that.
No, I should have known from your handle that we were talkin metric. Here everything's f and F (feet and Farenheit)Lol maybe me not explaining properly
So would you say to just use the bloom rather than bloom and boosteryou might benefit from staying with just base nutes until u get a better grip on growing. learn what the plants need first. you can get great yields and quality without the snake oils.
