Dear madams and sirs! I would like more info on light intensity, defoliation and topping PLEASE!
I have a 9 led set up by growmau5, Rapid led puks that total in 900W.
Is there any light intensity schedules to follow? iam currently at 30% in day 18.
If you know anybody with these lights please tag them so i get to know them!
Also i topped them at 4th node. Whats next? Thank you all for your help so far!

Hey Ganja farmer! Plants have rebounded really well and are adapting well to the environment. Growth is top 10 percentile for 18 days! Nice work, man!
As for light intensity, I have to say, I lean more towards what Hippy said. The leaves of the plants will tell you when they are getting too much. They really don’t need as much during vegging, and during flowering you want to give them as much as they can handle.

2500 on the lux meter at day 18 is pushing it.
Light intensity schedule based on app I suggested.
Seedlings 350-500 only! Week one basically
Early veg 500-1500 weeks two and three
Late veg into preflower 1500-3000
Early flower 2500-5000
Late flower up to 13,000 possible on some strains
At day 18 you should be around 1500 to 2000 tops. Then they can grow into the light more. If you keep lights that low, the plants will get even more stunted than they are now.
Lift the lights a touch if you can.
Yes, looking at leaves helps, but newbies don't know what light stress looks like, so that doesn't always work. In your case, the leaves look ok, but they are definitely light stressed. You wouldn't recognize it, but it is there for sure.
Now you know. This schedule will never let you down...you could ouch them more sims, but optimal is always best!

Also, I don't think you will need to top them unless you don't have space. I think the plants will be a little on the short side anyways now due to the light stunting.
If you back those lights up, they will stretch quite a bit over next three weeks. Good luck bro! Feel free to ask me if you need any help. We are all here to help new growers join this great collective. The more the merrier!

Hey man, i'm new with these LED's also, sounds like maybe that LUX meter is the way to go. I have a 200w COB's x 4 with 8- 2'- t-5's for supplement light? It would be nice to know the intensity. I have no clue on defoliation. Good luck!
