New Grower My very first indoor grow....

Ok, thanks agito.

Looking good MY. I'd suggest keeping your light at about 10 - 12" till they get about 3 sets of true leaves, then raise it up some. I started mine out at around 12" but my plants were already 5 weeks old when I got the light. I could see my node spacing was too close, so raised it up to 18 and it's fine now.

So what happens if your node spacing gets to close ?
Everything I have seen and read says more light denser and bigger buds due to more energy as the plant has not had to stretch for light so it can reach its full genetic limit

I'm convinced that the key to higher yields with autos is getting them as big as possible during their short veg period. If your nodes are tight your bud sites end up too close together. When they are nicely spaced out there's more room for the buds to grow. LEDs produce the best plants when the light is higher in veg, then lowered in flower. I made the mistake my first grow of having the light about 10" above the plant start to finish. I ended up with short, dense buds that got a little moldy in the center. I now run my GLH at 18 to 20" in veg and 12 to 14" in flower and have been getting very good results. My node spacing is usually about 1 to 1 1/4", my main colas are not overly dense and yield is up.

Interesting stuff using light stretch for ventilation and veg height when you think you seen most ways to grow cannabis another way pops up
Not sure agree or disagree as its a method i have never seen but in theory that would defo be an advanced method on bringing extra height to autos in there veg phase and could prove very useful indeed I would love to see a side by side in the future on a stable strain

Update to my first grow!

These are my 2 RRF's & 2 Mi5's. I also took some pics of my set up. Again, these are not the best pics, but they are getting better.

This is the best any of my grows has gotten so far. Two failed outdoor grows and with what I've learned, I am very hopeful at this point that I may just suprise myself and get some buds this time.

So what do you all think? I am actually getting some growth!
