Afternoon all , I have a quick question - do you Erin the big leaves in order to let light into the rest of plant? I have a few massive leaves that are taking up most of the light, I did read somewhere not to trim so was after some advise please

Many thanks bud

While I by no means have the experience of others, looks to me you are a bit early to be thinking of defoliation.
jmho,
all the best and good luck.

It’s in week 3 of veg atm and there are two fan leaves bigger than my hand that block all the light , I am basically a complete noob when it comes to growing anything let alone this difficult plant lol

Northern Light will stay short and bushy during early veg. I’d let it go a little longer.

are you doing any plant training? lets you get the most return out of your plant, light and space

I was looking into maybe thinning out the plant and doing some bending in a hope to keep buds same hieght , I have also taken out the middle of plant to make two mains if that correct

I have removed a few leaves now to let some light in and done a little tiring down to open up the plant, let’s see how the little fella dose

 

[simonreed]

Hey lads , just a quick update , plant is looking really healthy so far so good for a noob that kills most plants I touch, I have done a little tieing backand now switched to 12/12 in the last few days, I’ve managed to keep nutrients tank at a constant 6ph , but humidity when lights are off dose shoot up to around 55%, is there anyway I can reduce this without buying a dehumifier?

I’m running a 600w hps at the mo , what wattage would anyone recommend for my next grow of two plants?

Hi simon, you can also put a wet towel in the tent during the day.

I totally agree with Lurking: 12c at night is a little cool for a baby Cannabis plant.

Hi simon, I know I'm a bit late to the message, but try to TUCK the leaves if you can.
