ty for clearing that up for me. I always worry about the bud development. Like, if there is a good rule of thumb to have a certain leaf to bud ratio? just something in general not specific to the strain. I guess maybe just find your style of growing. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you!

@Dale great read and thanks again. I'll do the hand test for now then look at some par meters, see if I can't get my hands on one, so I can get within the correct range/distance.

@Dale TY sir. How would the burn look like? like discoloration or like a hole burnt in the leaves? just worried I might go beyond repair. I'll give it a go and turn it down when needed. just need to know what I'm looking for. I appreciate you!
