As soon as i see visible buds, my lights get turned up to 100%, but gradually raising intensity is a good idea. Also, ive never ever been concerned with the leaves "praying". As far as im concerned its always a good thing. id rather see praying than drooping thats for sure.

1-2

Something like that. Ive never made up 1 gallon of soil. I mix alot at a time. You could even double it to make 6-8-8.
I went with 2 tbs of the garden tone per gallon
But I’m still wondering if tht noo ratio should be fine since the p&k is higher would tht be an issue ? I can use it for veg right ? Maybe I can use a bit of roots organics terp tea dry fert to raise the nitrogen a bit the terp tea is 7-1-1

I’ve seen a lot of post using garden tone for the flowering stage so still kinda thinking if it should be good for veg tho
 
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%

When I increase intensity they stop praying. Now I'm confused.
They pray when they've got more than enough light. It's a defense mechanism so less leaf surface is exposed to the light.

If you all of a sudden raise intensity they might be a litle shocked for a bit before the get to the praying stage.

Edit: The new growth always grows like that too if you've got healthy plants if you get what I'm saying. MIght be for the same reasons, since they are new leaves, but this is just my stoner minds thinking, :bigjoint:.

Is that why my leaves are praying after 12 hours of darkness? They just got more than enough light?

I think it looks fine. leave it alone aside from boosting your P-K during the final month if you don't do that already.

I love your funny references. Growweedeasy.com.. LOL

Try Turgor Pressure being the reason for "praying leaves" instead: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/turgor-pressure

Yeah I use more loom half strength maybe will use at full strength at the end of the bud spurt/when it’s nearing the end of putting on weight this how there looking so far994D4F6D-6D9A-4076-A393-D6C55173EF80.jpeg
