yeah your grow room looks packed out, shd try tying some branches n leaves back to allow a little bit more light to penertrate the top canopy


t1m mcgraph, they're strechin prob because ur lights are either too far away from the plants, or they are not powerfull enough. Wot lights do you have? Also buy as oscillating fan as it simulates breeze which makes the stems stronger.

thanks Jimbo, but all the buds are getting light,nothing is underneath the canopy but leaves,I trimmed away all the shoots that werent getting light,so that the plants could concentrate on growing all the flowers at the top of the canopy.and as you can see I have no room to bend more,Im already bending the leaves down under the flowers so that they dont shade them....Thanks for your input I appreciate it :peace:

I only have 2 floro tubes that apparently aren't going to do the job for me =[ I am an inexperienced grower and was just trying to create a litlte smoke for myself without having to spend a ton of money on sophisticated lighting and things like that... A lot of people have suggested I go buy some security lights and re-wire them but that's definitely too much considering that I am just working out of my room right now. (pretty small area )

yeah so am, only spent £50 on light n reflector. Fluors are good for seedlings just make sure they're close to the plants. About 1-2inch is a good distance and a small fan is cheap but will strengthen the stems so they wont fall over. Instead of straws either tie them up, or put a small stake in.

gd luck with the grow

hey bob, very very nice. Just a quick question for you. How far above your plants did you keep the HPS light when you started flowering?
