Hey guys, this is second grow ever and my first time using grow dots. I also got a second light as I think my 1st grow really struggled due to the light not being strong enough. The strain is chocolate zkittlez, vegged for 6 weeks, starting the mainline around week 3.

I flipped her 8 days ago and increased the ppfd to 550-600. Today I’ve done a heavy defoliation and increased the ppfd to 650-720. Is this too much? Also have I defoliated too much? Any advice or feedback would be great.

The pictures from are in order from top to bottom. With the last 3 being after the defoliation today

welcome to the community and well done with the training the plant looks nice and healthy. as far as your lighting question i think your around the higher end of the spectrum which isnt a bad thing. i would just keep an eye on the leaves for any tacoing or if they get dry/burnt up but that all depends on how that strain responds so i wouldnt stress it for now unless ya see abnormalities happening. other than that your doing a great job and if ya have any questions or concerns dont hesitate to ask the community as there are lots of amazing people here willing and happy to help
