I believe I have auto flowers don't know what strain 2 females and one male I have small closet grow and only 3 plants so I was trying to see if I could do something with male with out hurting females so at the first hint of male starting sacks I been deballing it aggressively and cut out top of bud tip that has some pads that start in them I went surgical on it haven't left a ball one what are chances of male doing anything and would it be any good I've heard so much I don't know if I should keep working at it or pull him up I've heard of a chemical that says it can reverse it IDK WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK WILL HAPPEN AND ANY TIPS THAT ARE PROVEN

Also I am using manure and done soil test it had surplus of nitrogen but little to no phosphorus or potassium with ph State about 6.8 so I added worm castings and bone meal because it was showing a little bit of iron deficiency in my plants going to do another soil test today but is there anything else I can add to my soul to help these babies get up there and go

One decent led would cover the whole thing, I bet those run hot af next to each other like that. Hard to see your plants under blurple too. But 100% remove any males immediately

900w would be fine im guessing, i did a wardrobe grow and used 100w vivosun duel spec. grew them ffor 3 months

mine got a little bit leggy but they grew fine i enjoy the extra space helps me spred the plant in the net. can get a current piccy while they are 7 weeks in flower but i did choose to flower with a 600w hps. out of pretty much all my grows im impressed by these the most, unknown strain too juust bag seed.

Trying to just get a run in with what I got money's tight right now I've got 2 projects going on a 40x16 addition on back of house and a 20 x35 garage and it flattening my wallet like a hydraulic press maybe by next run I can upgrade and being first run didn't want to put lot of cash into it till I find that it can be done and it's not exactly legal round here we all Americans but some have more rights then we do its like 50 individual little governments all with the own laws 😔 """sad""

comes down to do you want big yeilds with nice quality or do you just want some bud to smoke when ya bored?

you can get away with paying lots long term if you buy better equiptment to start. so i go 600w hps its cheap to buy upfront but cost a bucket in the long run but a 470w spider farmer led cost alot more to start up but will cost alot less long term and put out even larger bud to watt ratio :)

nah never buy used because you wont know how many hours she or he that your buying from has used it for. thats risky and can go both ways. what you could do is messure the space youd like it in and google the optimal light for that space and the smaller the area covered the cheaper it will be but do go shoping for a 60000w light thats 100bucks. even make a post here ask the community some people here are gods of growing the herb and i dont use led for flowering. i dont know how to tag but if nick or captian come accross this they will most likely have a great solution for a light :)

Your OK as I have grown on less! For starting and veg you really don't need great light. Once you get construction out of way, maybe consider using that space to add a dedicated flower tent with good light and still veg with those lights in another area. Reason I do that is flower takes 2 months ... while that is happening you are veging your next batch in other room. In some respects, flower is long leg in tine but a dedicated flower tent can get 5 runs in a year ... get 6 runs and you're greater then I am for sure! I still run one of my old 200W in veg room! But lights have improved and a good lights are important to consider for bloom/yeild. Can't knock what people are telling you on ditching male and lights, but you are ok.

Why you're growing male is fair question -- should only grow male if making natural seed F1/F2/S1 phenotype etc ... a long process! All you really need in that case is the polen and not the male. Polen lasts a long time! Though, if you're seeking fem seeds it's the wrong process. and if they are autoflower, you shouldn't be cutting balls but let it go as Autofloxer x Autoflower yeilds autoflower seeds. If you're growing for smoke, take advise and ditch the male!

They got leggy since they want more light!
