Q&A

How many times do you top a plant?

It really depends on the plant's growth. For stretchier strains, you might top more and do additional tops, but for compact indica strains, you might top once or not at all.

Do small light leaks from equipment affect plants in the grow room?

Yes, small light leaks from equipment like a humidifier status light can stress plants, causing issues such as extended stretching beyond the typical period.

How soon can I determine the gender of my seedlings?

You can determine the gender of seedlings by sending a sample to Farmer Freeman for chromosome analysis, or you can wait until the late vegetative stage or upon switching to flowering when the plant will show physical sex characteristics.

How do I switch my plant over to the flowering stage?

To transition a photoperiod plant to the flowering stage, you need to change the light cycle to 12 hours on and 12 hours of complete darkness or 11 hours on and 13 hours of complete darkness.

Can panda film or poly film be used for smell proofing a grow room?

No, panda film or poly film is not effective for controlling smells. To manage odors, you should look into using a carbon filter or an air purification system.

What LED grow light do you recommend for a small tent that covers everything?

The recommendation depends on the size of the grow space you're looking to cover. You can find articles with suggestions for different sized grow spaces on mr-growit.com under the articles section.

How long do you keep plants in darkness before harvest, and does it make a difference?

There's no set rule; sometimes I do 48 hours, sometimes 72 hours of darkness. The idea is that the darkness period may increase secondary metabolites and trichome production, but the difference might be marginal.
