I have NEVER HEARD such a thing as too much light.......EVER! and i bet 9 outta 10 folks on here will disagree, but i seen it with my own eyes.........."bleaching" is all i can say.

Thanks for the kind words.
Folks try too hard. They give their plants too much of everything usually. Less is more.
I addressed the light issue because I was tired of hearing folks telling other folks that "you can't give a plant too much light"....as they sat there and watched the very element for photosynthesis being bleached/destroyed, chlorophyll.
3. High Light - yes, it’s true, you can give our faves too much light. Cannabis does not receive full sun from sunrise to sunset in its natural state. It is shaded or given reduced light levels because of adjacent plant material, cloudy conditions, rain, debris and dust collection on the leaf surface, twilight periods of early morning and late afternoon, and light intensity changes caused by a change in the seasons. Too much light mainly serves to bleach out and destroy chlorophyll as opposed to causing leaf cupping, but it often goes hand-in-hand with high heat for indoor growers. Again, back off on the light and concentrate on developing/maintaining an efficient and robust root system. Keep in mind that all but equatorial material receive less light during flowering than during the vegetative stage.
And this may come as a shock to some, while folks are giving their plants MORE light during flowering (again pushing them when they should not be), they should be backing off. It's all about keeping the plant green until harvest. Think of cannabis under natural conditions. When does the plant receive the least total daily photon accumulation? That's right, during flowering, especially mid to late term.
