Hello fellow growers.
I have few questions on which i need your opinions
1) i turned my girls into flowering in the end of November, its their 6th week of flowering. ( im using 20 watt led bulbs) in my tent i have 20 20 watt bulbs, out of which 15 is 3000k and 5 is 6500k so i was wondering would it be better to remove those 5 6500k bulbs and leave only 3000k bulbs.
2) as i already mentioned im using 20 watt (true watt) bulbs. So how far should i hang them. Currently The fistance is probably 10-15 cm from highest buds And 20-25 cm from lower buds.
3) should i prune lower small branches and defoliate this late into flowering?

thanks in advance.

yes pictures please, but as long as heat is no issue the more light you can throw at them the better. also having a mixed spectrum is always best if you can distribute multiple spectrums to a plant it will thank you, We're competing with the sun after all.

So your suggesting i should not remove 6500k cool white bulbs and not raising the distance, what are your thoughts about defoliating/pruning this late into flower
Thanks for your reply

I don’t defoliate mush throughout the grow.
I take off some of the lower bud sites early in flower to avoid loose larf on the bottom.
Other than that, leaves come off when the plant has sucked the energy out of it. I’ll pull off dead dry leaves that’s it.

as for distance I’m not sure if you should move themcloser or leave them,do you have a lux or par metre?

IMO mixed spectrum is great, more 6500k in veg more2700-3000k in flower.

as for the red could be genetics could need cal-mag good luck with everything
