What's up guys. First grow DWC 18gal tote 4 air stones. 50dayish vegged under 92w 6500k cfl. I snapped a few pics when the lights went out. Not the best but you can see it looks like it's starting to snow :-) oh botanicare pro grow/bloom and calMAg

So whatcha all think? Can you tell if the buds are gonna be dense yet? I'm guessing the whole branch eventually gets covered in the pistils? So cool finally seeing where and how something I've used so long actually grows. Next time I can really train them. I didn't top this just some lst and a poor attempt at supercropping lolimage.jpgZoom in on it

Healthy, could be dense if you keep allot of air flow or add co2.

I would suggest doubling the light and cleaning up a LITTLE foliage.

Thanks guys!! Not really a question just showing off looking for tips.

Thanks dude I've been cleaning the foliage every week since I put it into bloom when I change my res. I've been afraid of hurting her and I want to make butter so someone on here said leave it if you want to make butter or hash... Any chance your able to point out what exactly is the foliage I should be clipping off? Just things that the light really isn't getting? Upping my lighting now isn't an option. I keep the closet cracked enough so no light gets in when the lights are off with a fan blowing. When the light goes on I open the door more. My max temp has been 85 with the door pretty much shut. Now I know how much to keep it open so i can keep my temps 72-80 lights on or off. This is the only crop I needed bigger to hopefully pay for my supply's after this new job starts and I just want the best nugs for the head at all times lol

Well; when your ready to harvest your fan leaves do nothing for you personally. (Most of them will have no trichomes)

Some of the smaller leaves on the buds might have trichome heads on them, those can be saved and made into wax/hash or butter, since its too harsh to smoke in a bowl.

Personally I would shave it like an umbrella then not cut anymore. Especially since your using cfl your canopy penetration is very low. The majority of your light energy would be in the first few inches and maximum penetration would be a foot. Also if you focus on a few top colas, you will have larger nugs. Multiple branches will make many smaller ones.

Look into doubling your light for flowering next time. MJ really needs double its veg light in flower to maximize its potential.

70-80 is a good temp, 75 or lower would be ideal. Anything over 80F starts to slow growth. Watch the humidity too, too wet and you'll get mold too dry and it invites bugs.

Thanks a lot for the info bro. I actually did some trimming last night I'll post a pic when the lights come on. She's sleeping still lol.

I'm actually using a 400w hps to bloom I only used the cfls to veg

Awesome advice man appreciate it!! I'm deff going to cooking and making oil to vape so I can sVe my lungs lol. I pretty much got it locked between 71-81 and my RH is 30-40 so hopefully in another 4 weeks I'll be a happy man hah! Thanks again!
