Those lowers will also restrict air circ around the plant, potentially encouraging powdery mildew or bud mould. It's up to you, but I'd lop them. |
A bit of troubleshooting:
I definitely clipped those plants, everything on that batch looks great!
However, my first batch, while I was gone for the weekend, crept up closer than my usual 12" distance to the light. Now the very tops are not budding very well, and they look like they're not going to "fill" in. I moved the lights higher up, but I was checking to make sure that it probably wasn't any variable other than heat. The temp was, upon entry, 85 degrees where the tops of the plants were. Should I investigate another cause, or is it safe to assume it was just to hot so close under the lamp?
thanks!
