First Grow Ever,
I have a 24 inch tall grow box with one plant (4 inch) in a small DWC hydroponic unit. I am using 3 CFL lights. I keep the box at about 87 degrees F. The plant is on Day 16 and is pretty short and bushy.
I had the light bulbs about 3-4 inches away from my plant for several days, and yesterday I noticed some spots on some of the leaves. It appeared as if something had dripped on it.
After some research, I'm pretty convinced it's Light or Heat burn. I run a relatively high temperature (87 F) and the lights were pretty close (3-4 in).
My 2 main questions are:
(1) Should I trim the leaves where I notice these burn spots, if the spots are, let's say, toward the ends of the leaf blades?
(2) Additionally, the plant is getting bushy and the larger fan leaves are folding down as they grow into the sides of the box. Would it be worth it to trim these down too?
