Looking beautiful man! I would have went with a little LST but besides that, fucking great! Looking forward to seeing some big nugs!

Ok. I would carefully tie, and bend a few long branches down.
inside growth will get more light. More buds. Removal just takes away bud sites.
i drill holes along the top of my buckets for tie points. I don't if you can do that with
the things you are using.? If you can't, fishing weights, and line work.

The inside has a ton of tiny growth nodes that seem to stay very small and many of them brown and fall off or just don't look all that healthy. I'm assuming this is because they don't get much light. Are you saying to remove leaves to allow light and air to get to these small nodes so they will produce bud?
Id pull off anything dying and those small bud sites on the inside, they wont really produce much in the end... Then if I have to remove a few leaves to allow air flow through the inside of the plant, so be it.


Looking really nice, keep it up.

Just my preference, I start counting my flowering days the day I flip to 12/12. It helps me keep exact track on what to look for in future grows with the same strain.

Keep doing what your doing man, don't chop, it doesn't need it, just lower those cfl's a bit so it's close to the bottom of the plant and grow on!!

I need to bend more forks to chain together to lower my lights :-) Not sure if anyone noticed my light hangers I made but they are amazing and work well. :-)

I'll do that soon.

New pictures! Are you gonna lower the LED as well? It looks like some of your branches may not be able to hold up the weight of your colas, not 100% sure of that but you might want to look into something to make your branches more sturdy like some thin wooden sticks you can put down into the soil and tie your bigger branches to. I'm currently working on a LED grow myself but its just starting, I hope it comes out as nice as yours is going bro!

I actually am visiting family for 2 days, I'll be back to my garden tomorrow and I'm excited to see what it looks like. I will of course update with pics.


I was thinking of lowering the CFLs but the lower branches seem to be getting plenty of light.
