[alaskanbudz]

HI EVERYONE... THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY POST. I HAVE 7 42" FLURO 2700K BULBS WITH TWO 100W CFL'S AND 4 25W CFL.... GROW ROOM IS A STEADY 72 DEGREES... BEEN ON 12/12 FOR 6 WEEKS.. FLOWERING FOR 4 1/2 WEEKS.. ALSO BEEN USING BIO THRIVE AT FULL STRENGTH NOW FOR 4 WEEKS AND ALASKA FISH FERTILIZER FOR 8 WEEKS......

they look great all in all. though they are stretched a bit, could've had your lights a bit closed. i'd suggest putting some more 27k bulbs in to further increase your bud production and they'll be a bit tighter when it comes time to harvest. if and when you do they'll become nice and heavy, might have to string them up to support them through the flower cycle.

if you back off on the nute just a little those spots i saw on the lower leaves should return to full green and no more spotty yellows. other than that keep it up you're doing good thus far

they look bomb but yea they are stretched try to put lights closer and get more but besides that great job and good luck

no need for rep but drop yoour lights a bit as ssaid, add a few more (if need be, and if the temps can be sustained) other than that, good growin, nice and green keep it up!

personally i would trim all the lower buds and leaves off so you dont end up with a bunch of useless popcorn buds, just like the first 6 or 10 inches because those florescents are not reaching that far into the canopy anyway. and there drooping a bit... how often do you water? maybe a lil to much. but then again im kinda new at this only been growing myself for a lil over a year. and the other guy was right does look like a bit of nut burn maybe back off a lil other than that lookin good keep us posted

With the linear flouros, you can't get too close. I had a plant who's leaves were literally touching my 4' T8 lamps and they didn't even get crispy. Your lights should be within' at least 2" of your plants.

If your W numbers are actual watts the it's plenty enough light, you just need to get it closer.

Gotta love the cheapo shop lites though, lol. I got a 4' 2xF32T8 LOA fixture for $9.94 at Wally world. Can't beat it for the price.

no i disagree with mrjones86 you can get the floresants to close.. i let my t5 touch after someone told me the same thing and it fried the leaves but as long as there not touching i think your alright.

T5's are a tad higher out put heat wise then the T8 and 12's though... I am running T12's when I started my grow from seedlings and my lights were touching my plants right up to just a few days ago and I had 0 issues with it.

Drop those like as was suggested and add some more around the sides if you can. Beyond that the grow is looking great.. keep up the good work.

Cheers,
BR.
