I already regret not having more lights, but this weekend I'm making a DIY hood to intensify the light and penetrate deeper into the lower branches, too much light is being wasted.
I went ahead and trimmed two fan leaves from each plant. I cut the leaves that were connected to the Y of the first topping, giving much more light to the lower branches. I noticed one plant is extremely dark and is slowly growing the new tops and side branches.
I raised the lights today, they are about 10" from the plants.
Tomorrow is their 30th day from seed. My last grow sadly gave me 5 males of 5 plants, and I frankly just don't want to waste another month to be disappointed again. I've been reading that you can flower them for however long it takes to show the sex and then put them back in veg. Should I start with a 36 hr dark period or just go straight to 12/12. I bought a magnifying glass to help with identifying the sex later in life.
