Too early to prune?

Yeah chop the big plant in half close to where 2 side branches come out and they will get as big as the top one you will get a better yield and a clone from it

Just ordered another light, would it be damaging to my plants if I installed it? Or should I wait for my next grow?

I'll have 2 of these in a 24x48x60, I hope that is a sufficient amount of light

65 bucks, runs around 110-130 watts per unit. Not sure if that's specific to dual power or not though

You’re going to want at least 400w of blurple led for that 2x4 imo.

I don't use a grow tent I feel it's a waste of money for such a small amount of space like 200$ for a 3x3ft tent lol
I use a bedroom it is 10x10ft and 7 ft tall I only use 10x3ft

how to do you have your lights set up?
Tents aren’t always necessary but theyre definitely not a waste because the reflective walls increase par efficiency.
You’re going to lose some light if you don’t have any walls up or something.

I have them set up 2 on each side like this

= =
The - are the plants and I have the lights set up at 45 degrees with them about 24 inches during veg and 18 during flower

You’ve still got plenty of room before you need to prune, but I start topping my plants at 4 weeks from seed or once they have 6 nodes. I just topped some this week. I’ll post a few picks. I pack my tents full & scrog to maximize space.
