Description
Episode 03: Season 3 Update, Topping, PPFD & Light Management
In this episode, I dive into the early veg phase of our 4X4 battle tents for Season 3 and give a full update on plant development, topping, super cropping, and light management.
I walk through what’s happening 10 days after transplanting clones, explain how topping and super cropping impact plant growth, and show how PPFD readings and light adjustments influence stretch and canopy development. You’ll also see how I monitor temperature, humidity, and light uniformity to keep both tents performing optimally while I’m away.
This episode is all about giving you the knowledge to manage your lights and veg phase confidently, set up for a healthy stretch, and understand how spectrum and positioning affect plant growth.
