Week 3 of flower , is it where it should be?

[southbayLA154]

I’m going on 3 weeks of flower but I’m wondering if it’s getting enough light ?

I was having trouble with getting the light at the right height and dim level .. seems like soon as I would go over 40% on 150 watt led
I’d start getting light intensity/heat issues

since the start of flower I’ve raised the light all the way up I can go and started raising the intensity level every few days right now it’s at 60%

I sense with so few leaves there is only so much light it can utilize

Don't tell the plant

Should be much bigger

End week 4 of flowering

I'd be finding a way to vent outside if your 150 is causing heat issues. Maybe i don't know what I'm taking about in a smaller tent But I'm pushing closer to 600 in my 4x4 before I run into issues.

For the start of the 3rd week of flowering that looks to be in the ballpark. I would not pinch any more leaves either. Here I am at about week 3...........

Under 330 watts of Quantum Board LEDs in a 4x2x5ft. box. About a foot above the canopy at 100%. So something about your 150 puzzles me.

Mine, under a 200watt board, show a little reaction in that the pistils (white hairs) are shorter........... Under a 100watt board, not so much but there are a lot of variables involved. So I also wonder: How close is too close to avoid the burn, either from heat and or intensity?

Hour so later after raising intensity to 60%
Fan leaves have started praying towards the light

When I increase intensity they stop praying. Now I'm confused.

I don’t think it’s a heat issue really I have an window ac in my room while running passive intake .. it’s more the light intensity I think cause it’s staying around 75f - 78f

as soon as I raise the intensity the start praying excessively and start seeing blotches of light green almost like a cal-mag deficiency

They are reaching for that light. Those pics look like they want that extra light, no?

You can tell right? at 30-40 % percent they stay horizontal to light which ive read is ideal but soon as I raise the intensity they start praying excessively and start showing deficiency but I soon as I lower it goes away the deficiency’s

but Thn I feel like it’s not enough light at 30-40% specially with 150 actual watt led

thts why I’d like to raise the intensity..
Maybe it’s due to it being an indica strain and the genetics

yeah I thought praying leafs was good but not to excessively and tht more light the more parrying right?

but as soon as I raise the intensity I start dealing with intensity issues and deficiency start showing up why do u think tht is ? Not enough nutrients?

high light intensity but not enough nutrients?

No more defoliation I’ve been doing to much fersure just paranoid about PM issues

but I’ll won’t be removing anything anymore ..

It's awesome to see people making progress and without anyone throwing a hissy fit in the thread

If your light is too intense definitely up her feed. What are you giving her?

Once one of us gives a recommendation someone disagrees with the vultures will circle.

I can agree

I’m veg :
Dr.earth top dressing
was using fish emulsion 5-1-1 in veg 1x2 weeks at half strength
floralicouis plus 1ml
Vitalize foilar spray
Flower now:
I just switch 5-1-1 for mor bloom quarter strength every two weeks
And top dressing flower girl

but I did miss week o 2 without top dressing due to fungus gnats was bottom watering plain water and spraying top soil with Monterey garden Spinosad in veg got tht under control the gnats

Yea definitely see tht a lot lol and then they say “ welll I saw someone on YouTube do it like tht so it’s gonna work for me exactly how it did for them”

Where the soil growers at? I feed synthetically (coco) so can't really advise there.
