Plant Care & Harvesting
- Poda: Regular pruning is essential for healthy plant growth and increased yields. Trim plants to prevent them from touching the grow light and to encourage bushier growth.
- Light Height Adjustment: As your plants grow, raise the LED grow light hood to maintain a consistent distance of 1-2 inches above the tallest plants. This ensures adequate light exposure without burning the foliage. The light pole is adjustable up to 12 inches.
- Collita: Harvest outer leaves or individual herbs as needed. For continuous harvesting, avoid removing more than one-third of the plant at a time.
