Defoliate some - Lose some of those fan leaves - they suck your sugar and reduce your Brix levels - now after that move them a little closer in and your good to go. Week 3 defoliate again - once them big sugar sucker fan leaves come on again and growth is again looking good and like WK1 did; then from WK3 forward you will be good to go and have light focused on fruit and not leave and stem development meanwhile robbing you of your harvest bruh!
I run LED. Can be done with HPS as well but I prefer LED. Highly reccomend a diy build of a COB light. I run 3 COB light bars with 75W using 3 COBS run at .700ma for a total of 225 watts. Before I switched to COB I was running a Mars II 1200 and getting the same results just at 550watts. All about ppfd. I run a commercial strain of blue dream ao your results may be lower but still can pull 1.5 for sure with regular strain in a 3 x 3
It's two fire bricks, actually. Left over bricks from a stove I sold. Angle may be deceptive too, not under the light. Thanks for the concern though!
Thank you. I'll read up again on defoliation, sounds like that will help.
That's a good thing! Leave them alone it's all good! Mine are already doing that in my 10gal pots at 1 month old.......
I did have that reflective bubble stuff from lowes. Was held on by tape, duck type. Well, I had some extra cfls up at the time too. Found the tape failed, reflective stuff fell on lights and pushed them against a couple plants! Burned a couple sections up really well too. Pissed me off so ripped down the rest of reflective stuff. In doing THAT, the tape that held, ripped off a bunch of drywall. So I then had to spackle a bunch of areas, and once plants are done, paint touch ups.
