Hey there,

I just started growing. This is my 1st actual plant im keeping and flipping into flower. I was wanting to know if you guys see something i dont. The red fan leaf branches i was told could be genetic, since they've been like that for a few weeks with no problems. And i think i over watered slightly, but ill just hold off an extra day or 2 for watering then. Like i said, its my first time, so im not expecting perfect and im expecting problems lol.

Im using just a 600w king led light. I was contemplating taking them off but i was scared to shock the plant. I shouldnt strip all them though should I? Just the bottom ones by the dirt not really getting light, correct?

I figured it was either genetic or light related so good thing i didnt really worry. I did top it, light is 24 inches above the top of the plant. I have both bloom and veg switches on because its just something i heard to use. Wondering if i should just drop it closer and use only the bloom lights. Youre not talking me into anything. Im open to any advise i can get! Thanks!

I wouldn't strip any of those big fan leaves except ones close to dirt. Reason being is if u take those off then where its photosynthesis coming from them inter shoot leaves well that not enough to grow that whole plant. What will happen is u will stunt it cause its gonna have to produce more big fan leaves to start back again my buddy did it to his blueberry I told him not to and he did and it stunted it for 2 weeks

Lol i did it the fan leaves on the bottom of the plant were from nodes 2 and 3 on the plant. They were blocked by growth. Plant seems to be doing okay. Next run ill do a few. Cut one and not the other. See what the difference is because i heard a mixed bag of opinions from people i personally know
