Hi,

I have 2X2 tent with 3 plants.
I have 150w Quantum Board Cree+UV.

10 days into flowering now.

I have an "old" 200W light, purple light.

Should I add it also?
The plants are very happy with the quantum board, will it be better to give them more light or should I leave it as it is?

Thanks,

Your QB fixture should have enough 'oomph' to get the job done.
I'd concentrate of maintaining an even canopy. I find that my plants seem happiest when those fixtures are 15-24" above the canopy.

Time to “ clean up “ the undergrowth to help penetration and air exchange.
Yes, I done lollypop few times.
BTW, what can be done with all the lollypop leaves? I am keeping them, do they have any use beside tea?
Can I add them to hash/oil preperation and they worth something?

Same here, 16".

I just spent 2 hours this morning to try to get it even.. the White widow and the GSC stretch is crazy.. I need to scrog them like ropes all over the net.
I wonder if there is any way to slow the stretch of the few first days of the flip.

Its hard to scrog 3 plants in this small tent.. I need a bigger tent or to go with one plant.

Actually I started with one pant, but didn't go well, start another, died, I got crazy and started few seeds in different soils. The soil was the issue and the new one that I used with the new soil came up great, so now I have 6 plants, 2 in the basment, one micro grow in a closet, and 3 in the tent.. and that after throwing away 3 plants.

next time, wider tent (3X2) and 2 plants top.

2 x 2 = 4 sqft

150 / 4 = 37.5 watts per sqft

You are good to go IMO.
Thanks, I think I will stay and add one more quantum on the next grow + wider tent (3X2)
The old light is heavy and big and cause heat and if its not that needed I will pass this time.
