If your flowers just started you can still lst to create the even canopyor make it better . , just keep an eye on it. If it hasn't burned yet you.may be ok because it sounds like its gone through its final stretch. If your flowers aren't getting the light everywhere they need do to fan leaves then remove those...not too many because it will shock your girl. As for lollipopping It depends on maturity of the buds. If they are developed and mature than no.

Ive heard you should never lollipop an auto at any stage. Have you had good results lolipopping autos?

Two different opinions from what sounds like two experienced guys ;) i will leave the plants alone but will higher the light to the top of the tent (not far off now ;))
While I've got you, I believe my light is only a 250w (viperspectra p600), if I add another one of these would it technically make it 500w? Or just 250w spread out

no problem! I think we agree on most points.

it would just be 250w spread out. But with better coverage. I’ve heard mixes opinion on using two lights close together - potentially the more light the better but also higher risk for burn since the areas where the lights cross over are getting double

I have the viparspectra tc600 and it has worked great for me, runs a little hot compared to better LEDs especially if ventilation is bad. If you get the distance right with your lights, slowly crank that baby up to 100% on the dim cuz flowering plants will love it and reward you with bigger buds

Right LEDs. I’d move them up a bit if you have room. I wouldn’t LST in flower just go with what you got, not all LSTing goes perfectly.

I would not advise defoliation or lolipopping your autos, they are already on a timeline and any energy they have to spend recovering will be taken away from growth and yield. Isn’t worth it in my opinion. If big leaves are in the way of bud sites just tuck them down and away where ever possible

Couldn't agree more. I use the same light and love it. You guys have been a pleasure. As different as we are thats why this site was made. To bounce ideas of one another and help others. You fellas take care

Its all about the light spectrum. The leds use red blue and white spectrum to give the plants the same needs as a hps light. However much more cost effective , and though your only drawing 260 watts the lighting spectrum makes up for the lack of power in comparison. More light the merrier my friend. As long as your ventilation is good go for.it. you'll like rhe results

have patience, i just went up to look at mine today aND i have a female flowers just showing.
lolly popping auto's, are you mad, the plants life cycle is so short that just transplanting it can set it back a weeks growth. if you lolly pop it your taking away its energy giving leaves. autos are best grown in a sea of green to get good results

The platinum p450 is a 274 wt led but is like using a 600 wt hps.

Thank you both! I have highered the light to the top of the tent, literally as high as it will go :) I took some pics for your info! Do you think they look okay?
First time grow BTW!!!

. This is not what I imagined at all. Beautiful set up. And your girls look great! If you can put the smaller lady on something to equal the height of the other , when it flowers the stretch will make up the difference. BTW this isn't what I imagined at all, lol. I didn't notice pics in the other comments so I may have missed it. Your all set man, just let them do what they are doing. Beautiful job so far.

Cheers mate!! I did a ton a research before even starting so hopefully it pays off! Obviously you can research so much and when finally doing it in the real world, there are always things I've missed, lol! Glad to know they look good! I will just keep doing what I am in that case! Thanks!

They look great! Keep it up, keep it simple and you’ll have your own bud to smoke in no time!

Keep us posted on developments and ask any questions you have. Rollitup is a great resource
