Still trying to dial in my hlg600r. Problem is my plants are like 8 inches max from the light and light is as high as it can go and it really purples and reddens my leaves. Doesn’t look normal. Eh.

I don't know what they recommend for the 600 but for my 650, they recommend 30" from canopy. You dimming or running 100%?

I’m definitely not doing what’s recommended but my plants got way too tall waiting on last flower run to finish. My orange cookies Mac cap fems I hunted are in veg and about 5 feet tall. Don’t know what to do.

still in veg? ive had that issue once, my solution was go do the unthinkable and i chopped all tops past a certain height. Stunted growth for a second and extended my veg time but it worked lol.

I’m gonna have to fire up the chainsaw and just shave a few feet of those gals I guess. Idk what else to do. It’s a unattractive jungle in veg tent…..

Or maybe lose a plant and get a scrog/training action going?

you know those videos of the girls who record themselves cutting their own hair for the 1st time and halfway through they panic cuz it looks terrible? that was me lol. I was thinking "did i just butcher my yield?" but they did great.
Is it a super stretchy pheno? also how much longer were you planning to veg?

Oh just about two more months waiting on Slushers run to finish…..
This isn’t gonna work. I’m gonna have to add some lights to the veg tent and just run both on flower and start from scratch.
more of a headache than it’s worth right now, the grow. I own over two pounds and smoke between one bowl and one blunt a day and have zero customers. Mans word. Seems my smoke after about 8-9 months gets a sort of “Pickely” smell to it and idk why. I must not dry and cure right because I have some store bought orange cookies Mac over two years old still Smells brand new. Idk man. Been having a rough go. 60hr weeks 10hrs a day doesn’t help.

You can to dress right on top. I like to still pull it aside, dress, and move back OR put it on top and kinda scratch it in a little.

Take clones of them and discard the others. Or yeah I’ve chopped them down before and kept going with no issues.

That will work perfectly fine. If they have a solid root base, you will be impressed with just how hardy they are when they grow back.

I second this ^
Chop them plants down to lower growth. As long as there are shoots available the plants will explode back with those big root masses.

I have some rado to post in a week or two there almost at the finish line I forgot what I’m growing but I remember one is terp town and it smells and looks amazing
I might be one of the rare people that prefer my de hps to led I seen someone talking about the rspec and maybe I’ll test it out but for now I’m taking out one of my gavitas and putting back a de hps .. my nugs are nice but there tiny frosty etc but small the led have good trade offs but I think a mix would be optimum

At this point and with how much you already have I would just clone them all and then veg and flower the clones. Since you are in no hurry for any more herb this would be my solution even though it sucks to do. Good luck and hope all works out.

reduce. The. Power until they look. Healthy my optic 650 vegs. At 24 inches at 25 % any. Stronger they get droopy.

id make some rosin or bho with all that, plus give some away to get some clients. If you chop in. The right spots you will be fine make sure you leave all the room you will. Need for flower. And read the reccommendatios for that light, leds are not hid lighting. You can get closer when they flower. But vegging they need that. Distance. I made a mistake with mine at first but after a month i dialed. It in. And love my optic 650 light. Do the work now so you can relax in. Flower.

Was just using clonex gel, root riot plugs, and the tiny ass tray that came with them from Amazon. Thinking about just ditching the tray, and getting one of those aeroponic cloners, but will take a look into the one you suggested. Appreciate it man.

Flop the tops. If you run trellis you can lay them on the trellis horizontally. Just do like you would for super cropping. If they’re mid flower they aren’t gonna straighten back out like they normally would cropping them. Prevented many a zotzed top this way personally. The plants in veg just trim them down to a more manageable height and let them throw new shoots for a week or two before flowering.
