nah mate, prior to flower the plant was just growing up against the screen, once it went into flowering, all hell broke loose. Normally i'd trim everything lower down, but this is my frist scrog so i am interested to see what height i can get away with and where will be best to trim. I will end up with a good bit of popcorn this time around but it's all good. Need to supercrop and tie down that tall V though, i'd like the light a lil closer, tis only a 400w after all.

Just one plant that went a lil bit fucking mental :) I no longer pay rent theese days and i seem to have accumulated a few hundred pounds, i think it might be toy time. Tempted to buy another 400w and cooltube and throw a 3rd DWC tub into the cabinet, or to just get creative and maintain the two tubs for large yields, with a 600w, and then setup a small CFL/LED 1 plant section just for throwin random ideas into the mix, getting fed up of same strain day in day out.

As the buds dry and lose water, they will shrink, if they were not tight and compact prior to drying, chances are they'll end up a bit whispy. I find most of the lower half of my plants end up into whispy pathetic buds once dry. They still smoke well though. I think the method to avoid this is simply more light.

While it could be strain dependant, I have harvested the same plant from 7 weeks upto 15 weeks and they were pretty consistently similar. I also use a 400w with a cooltube, and have found it's more than capable of 4 plants, although i am myself thinking about upgrading to a 600w and a big reflector for some real nice light penetration (i am not 100% but i read that going from a 400w to a 600w is like 50,000 lumens to 92,000 lumens or something rather appealing.

Do u guys think that. 250w cfl will be enough light for 2 plants for veg and flower I kno a lot of ppl say use hps for flower but this is my first grow and can't afford another light. One my next grow I am going 2 get a hps aswell but do u think the cfl will get me through this grow? I am a bit worried as my plants are 5 and a half weeks old and are only 8" tall :S

The only strain i've grown multiple times, and as such can recommend, would be the UK Cheese, so not a good recommendation unless you can find a clone.

Do you use any flowering boosters or anything? I'd have thought that with a 400w the tops of the plants should at least be nice and solid, got any pics? From the strains i have grown though, i'd say get a scope of some sort, i've found that hairs can change colour regardless of the stage of flowering, although i'm getting to a stage where i can just look at the bud and know it's ready. Although a week early or a week late shouldn't really effect the buds to that extent.
