Pretty sure you wanna keep them to. Think of them as solar panels collecting energy for your plants.

Ok, got ya. What about maybe like the last week or couple days?
Last week or few days when the leaves start to yellow some people take them off to get all the light on the flowers, seems smart but it’s also in natural so who knows best us or mother? I don’t know research it bro. You’ll kick ass… look at this as a 3 month process or 12 weeks, they only come down when you say and your going to wait til they have gained a shiz tone of natural weight. So relax, they will bulk like mad! Main thing is to me anyway… how deep are they budding, if it’s 10inch from the canopy then you should have 10inch of bud of each stock ect

That is a normal occurance the pistols turning brown/red.
Your plants are looking great.

Ya your plants are fine. Hairs turning brown just means the flowers are maturing. All of them will slowly turn as the flowers age.
Flowering time
Indica: harvest after 8 weeks of flowering
Sativa: harvest after 10 weeks of flowering
Autoflower: 10 weeks from seedling to bud
Pistils
50-70% brown – young, light marijuana
70-90% brown – ripe, heavy marijuana
90-100% brown – sharp, heavy marijuana
Trichomes
Clear trichomes – wait a bit longer
Milky white/amber trichomes – ready for harvest
All Amber trichomes – overripe
This is a general guide of what to look for found in an article on this website by Robert Bergman. Hope this helps.

So you have 1800 actual watts in there?! Nuts bro, it’ll be great to see how much we both get as I have 1.2k led
What space and lights you currently got? Honestly can’t imagine needing more than 1800w actual in a tent

Yeah man all I’ve used is led as the heat is evil with hid. Temps went to 97F lights on. That vipar gets damn hot as hell on max… plants look ok s bit thirsty though I have to say…
My temps got to 90s once or twice but not for long, maybe a hour or 2. I do think the led i baught is a cheap shitty one. Im pretty sure they ripped me off. The 2 fans on top dont turn on all the time. 2 or 3 diodes are dim/ burnt out already after 5 days and theres no uv or ir diodes!!! Check this out brother
Garbage rite brothers?

I have a spare room that we store things in. I have a little area that i have the girls goin. Not a good area but its what im workin with. Im currently building a shed behind my house that is gonna be my area for the girls. My wife is jealous about my girls bein in the house. Lol
I have 2 600 watt hps a shitty “600” watt led that is really 105 watts an 2 55 watt cfl an 2 27 watt cfl. The cfls are for side light. I have the led like 6 inches above the girls seeing that theres no uv or ir lighting and because it doesnt burn my hand when i put it under it. Its been like that for a couple days now. Wouldnt it bleach the leafs or whatever already?
Hahahhaahaha! Over 50k lumen hahahaha a 600w hps delivers 50k lumen or a double ended does I’ve forgot. Point being yes mate get your money back. Leave the worst review on the planet ect that’s a blatant scam.
Led is lazier burn not heat issues, the hand under test can only be used for HID lights bro but if it isn’t showing any bad signs I can’t see a problem. I’d still have it 12 inch minimum mind you
What are the measurements of your space dude? Just wanted to compare to mine and will be cool to see what we both yield, I have more plants but they are smaller but space and amount of light also comes into it
The room is a small spare bedroom prolly 10x8x10 but like i said we have stuff like boxes, old kids toys ect. The walls are light pink. Lmao. Def not a grow tent or room. Just 2 girls 3ft almost with 2 600 hps and that bullcrap led and the cfls. O and co2 with 2 box fans and a ac. Lol in a spare storage room
