I got some bag seeds from a friend of mine and decided to start my first medical grow i have 3 plants 2 of those i have no idea what strain they are but my third plant is a strawberry cough the problem i am having is just not knowing whats going on with my smallest plant. her leafs keep drooping down in the late after noon and then they look fine the next day they are under 300 watts worth of cfl lighting and she seems to have ALOT of really small branches near the very bottom
so here are a couple pics.
any help is really needed. bongsmilie:peace:




SEE all of those little branches and leaves i don't know what to do with them.. do i just leave them be?

Those little leafs growing around the bottom are good, just leave them alone.

As for the drooping, it's also perfectly normal. Nothing to worry about. Your plant looks nice and healthy, just let it do it's thing. Most problems are caused by worried growers fiddling around too much =)

Hey and welcome to RIU.
How often you watering?
How close are your lights and what K are they?
she is the little one on the left right above her is a 68 watt CFL then next to her is a 87 watt cfl in a reflector then another 68 watt and then another blue spectrum 87 watt for the strawberry cough. do you see anything wrong with this picture?

It's good your using more than a few 18w CFLs.
Your gonna need more, that LED prob won't do.
I use over 80 CFLs in my grows.

damn, bit warm.
I thought I had problems.
I rerouted my entire home hvac into my grow room so I can drop it to 63 with light on in the middle of the day
you really need to get it down to 75-79 when flowering or it will cause you to have lighter fluffier buder rather than tighter buds that weigh more.

The only problem is that i live in a small place and i gota think about selling my place so i can't make holes in the closet and such plus its a trailer so it would be very hard to patch up i found that if i leave the AC on about 70F then it makes the closet with the door slightly open about 87-88F so is that a little better? and lucky for me its going to start getting colder outside soon and sense i have thin walls it should make it alot better :)
thanks for the tip tho!

I can relate to that. I'm starting to wonder why I thought growing inside in the summer (with no a/c) was a good idea :wall: Now that the temps are cooling off significantly, my plants are much happier (and so am I!). I think I'm going to reserve my growing season for fall-late spring and take the summer months off. Even growing things outside here in the summer is a pain in the ass, especially through August. Had to water my veggie garden 2x per day on the really hot days, and don't get me started on the potted plants....

Yeah it took me a bit to get mine under control, had to reroute my entire hvac to my grow room, i wish i would have done it to start out, I'd prob have more bud. My temps had hit 95 a few times....
I cant ever grow outside, to worried about being found.
