You can take clone cuttings when you wish. Best done before flipping to flower.

Your plant looks healthy. You can continue tucking under the netting. That’s all there is to the training. I usually continue to tuck for about a week after flipping.

Growing photo period is much better when starting out. I mostly grow photo period for the control we have with them. :man_mage:

You will be fine. The photo period plants can take a lot of abuse. If you mess something up in veg you can just veg a bit longer to recover.

Another question i cannot get my tent below 75Âș even when its 70Âș outside it i have my humidifier at 65% RH JUST TO keep the VPD below 1.2. I’m getting roughly 1.06 to 1.16 do you see any issues with that setting i looked on chart it seems good just slightly high temp & humidity for ideal range yet still.in the basic range?

Why would you want to? 75 F is fine. Same for your VPD. Most weed grows best in a Mediterranean (i.e., warm and humid) environment.

Thank you. I read somewhere where it is suggested 60% rh and 70⁰ when in flower stage. I was keeping it 80⁰ with 70%rh averaging a .98 1.05 Vdp should i stay there? I

I forgot to tell you that I switched over to flower stage today and thays where i read something about the 70/60 to mimic season although as with growing people do different things Also I am growing a photoperiod plant & I only have 63’ tent not alot of room left so I had to switch over. This being my first time growing im not sure. If i should keep the 80/70 ⁰F/%rh or go to 75/65 or was it the 70/60 Im not questioning you I just want to make sure you have all the necessary info thank you!

Best advice I can give you is to read the ILGM grow guides. There’s a link to them at the top of every page on this forum.

Found it and it was here that says about lowering the temp/humidity i just had wrong temp its supposed to be down from 80/70 to 75/65 not 70/60 thats nightime temp and Dont care what anyone says no way you can get a small tent to drop below 75 with a light on in it. Atleast not a light that is effective enough! But i did find it thank you for all your help!
