To trim or not to trim?

Tyrone Smith · Mar 4, 2016

This is my first grow and still stumbling into things i thought i knew all ready lol I have to lovely little Tangerine Dream ladies that are in a make shift cabinet about 40x18x50 inches... I have 4 100 watt LED lights putting about 1500 lumens each and 2 100 w equivalent CFLs. It took me about a week to realize that the lighting was to close to the plants and now have a lot of undergrowth. Do I let them grow out or trim back a little of the undergrowth?

The only time those lights are too close is if your plants react negatively. I personally would leave them be for a little bit. You could actually top them and the undergrowth you don't like would grow up and even up the canopy.

Leave them be , if you raised your light they will stretch out a litle,,

You could actually do a little bit of lst too. It can't hurt
