Well I did an early topping and then a major defoliation 4 days ago the plants have responded great I took 1 of each and sent them off to be mothers still going to be tight trying to flower 6 plants unless I flip soon
If it aint tight it aint right. You can always take branches off. Cant add them once you start flowering.
clean that place up ! Keep vegging put them outside in a month . Monster plants . And is there a reason why yor vegging under hps not mh ? Mh is much faster tighter spacing.
I guess you guys know better I will switch back to mh for a couple weeks they were already short I thought the hps would help I am going to do a thorough cleaning Wednesday I work 6 days a week 12 hours a day and got lazy I also was going to spend the money and get the hortilux 600 or are the cheapos just as good? Either way I will flower with new bulbs I gave 2 to a friend who will put them outside next month
No need to drop big bucks on hps bulbs. Just use whatever . I used to use all hortis . I switched to ipower so much cheaper no yield differece . But the life is shorter . But i coan buy 5 i powers vs a horti. Those lights need to come apart after every harvest for cleaning anyways. I just replace every bulb . And mh vs hps yea your getting what half inch a day growth hps . With a good mh those bulbs do make a difference . I used to get 3 or 4 inches growth in 24 hours with bigger plants . Hortilux blue 7200 k best in the world . No reason to buy it now led are almost as good . unless a person was growing for a living . Working 12 hours day stop ! zero reason to. Trade fx with me put in a grand will turn that into 3k in a months time . No really last week alone 1000 i would of turned that into 1600 dollars
day 34 from seed this is when they start to explode tomorrow i am off work and get to give them another haircut then tie down some branches from what i can see at least 3 of them have great structure i mean picture perfect question is Does anyone top more than once like top all the tops? or is that detrimental i already have plenty just curious to try it on one
Go for the extra top. Do you think it will give you a bigger yield is the question. One thing you will notice . With the mh bulbs on the leaves will be leaning towards the light . With the hps there more flat droopy. JOKE. ( did you clean the bulbs ) lmao...........
Yes I am an electrician I have been cleaning bulbs over 40 years I worked in Vegas at the stardust we had over 1 million bulbs burning at once in the late 80s lol
