like the one in the left of your sig...

ummm if thats the case im not sure what you can do.... why did you trim off all the leaves again...

you normally take offall the bottom growth or just mae sure theres good penetration i try and leave leaves when i can but theres often the leaf you see doing more blocking of the rays than it would be contributing to growth.

either that or if the plants top half is done ya take that off and leave the bottom unfinished ones to fill out.

your plants fan leaves will start dying off as flower finishes anyways so you shuld have left some..... the fan leaves allow the plant to collect the lights rays and transfer and store it into energy for the plant.

My advice is to not trim anything until you are an experienced grower, because there's no harm in leaving the lower leaves and branches on a plant, are are risking harming them by trimming them if you're not sure what you're doing. :)

The best thing to do right now is to hit them with some veg nutes. They burn up alot of N during the stretching period, and will go deficient if you switch to bloom nutes too early. Then, alternate the veg and bloom nutes for the next couple weeks, then switch to bloom for the last 2.

if you watch my grow journal, it will show you a bunch of plants. but what i would like you to see are my plants mary and jane. now mary i have fucked with, cut her leaves, gave her extra heat to stress out resin glands and jane i left alone i only topped her, these plants will show you the differances in what cutting the leaves does, it slows growth you get less yeild but still a have decent plant. take a look as mary she is sick but jane looks like something from the heavens!!!! ill add some more pic's today for you to see in a couple hours!!

^Can you get your hands on some MG fert? Contrary to popular opinion, it works pretty good if you don't mix it according to the MG instructions. Mix it at 1/4 strength, and you won't have to worry about fert burn, unless you feed them every watering.lol Go with that fert for the first 2 feedings, then alternate with your bloom fert. That's just a guideline though, so don't take it as a "must do", because I "read" my plants and let them tell me what they need, so it's impossible for me to tell you what will definitely work for your own. It'll get you pointed in the right direction. :)

depeneding if they are indica or sativa, indica's are usually 8 to 10 weeks flowering, sativa's way longer some up to 21 weeks. best way to tell is when the trichomes are mostly cloudy and a few are amber. plants usually double there yeild in the last 2 weeks.
