no offense but nothing mygirls said makes any sense to me... 5-6 in a pot adding up to one funky cola? No trimming until 5-6 weeks in not a great idea. The time it would take to revert clones cut at this far along of a time back to vegatative growth stage would be enough time to veg a whole new batch of clones to be ready for flowering! Always cut clones before switching to 12/12.

Anyways your looking pretty good for 5 weeks in man, do you know exactly how long it's been on a 12/12 schedule? Your leaves are going yellow due to lack of nitrogen. There's not alot you can do. The plant is focusing on making the flowers bigger, taking nitrogen away from fan leaf foliage. Mine are the same. You don't want to add any extra nitrogen, that will just cause more problems. Make sure that you flush it out really well once in awhile. Lookin good regardless.

Thanks bro! Not exactly but i know its been about 4-5 weeks since its been propper 12/12 wiv the lights and all sorts. Ahh yeah i read about the nitrogen will not add though! Was hesitant as i read also that its the buds sapping the goodness out of the leaves and to leave them untill they go brown.

ooo shittt. lookin good man. =0 got alotta nice crystal formation goin on there. =) and dont worry too much about the yellowing.. its normal. i've seen ppls plants have NO leaves left by the end of flowering because they all yellowed and died off and the buds turned out fine. =) keep up the good work man!!the buds look like theyre gonna be solid!

You should not cut off any yellowing leaves during flowering. Your plant needs the energy that is in those leaves and if you cut them off before it takes that energy, it is lost. If you cut enough leaves off before they're ready your buds will suffer. A good rule is to never cut off any leaves, either wait until they fall off by themselves or until they come off with very gentle pulling from you.

If you're cutting leaves to let more light to lower buds, just cut ONLY what you need to let the light through. If you don't have to cut a whole leaf off, don't. Just cut the part that is blocking the bud.

Anyway, I think if you have a powerful enough light, it will penetrate higher leaves and still get to lower ones without you cutting anything. You can also try spreading the branches open a bit and tying or staking them so the plant is more open. That way light can get in without you having to cut off leaves.

I'm not sure on this, perhaps someone else can give their opinion, but I think the negative impact of cutting off a bunch of fan leaves during flowering will outweigh any positive effects you might get.

Dude get those plants that are in those small pot into BIGGER POTS. The roots have no room to grow in those tiny pots mang. Very important to do this ASAP and then when they recover your going to see alot more horizontal growth and bushiness. Other than that, looking AWESOME healthy and vibrant. Good job dawg. I'll try to tune in more, keep linking me new shit your up too, I've been busy as heck bro, INSANITY!! AHHH LOL peace
