Place a bud upside down

[trelix]

It is ok to place a bud upside down for more light, or should I tie the branch above the light?

Anyway the light could be moved?

You are over watering and have thrip damage....wait what was the question?

 

[VTMi'kmaq]

no response????? huh? 666 may i ask how you figured out the thrip damage?

Start looking into lst for an even canopy on your next grow.
You can tie it down under the light for now if it will bend without breaking.

No way to move light - Too many branches. I'm newbie and don't tried lst yet. Plants are clones from flowering mother and lst'd by themselves

I eradicated thrips with Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew on 2nd week of flowering.

I'm watering every next or third day.

I guess I'll tie her above light as there is no place bellow.

Also overall view of grow

You can add more cfls, (it's pretty dark in there) and get them real close to the plants. It does look like you have plenty of space and thin enough stems to bend that sucker down under the light and tie it off.

Give those both a try. A light upgrade and some lst would really help you if you decide to grow again.

It's just my shitty camera.
I use about 650 watts. Too bad can't find large 2700k cfl around where I live and sticking with 6400k.
I have perpetual grow.

I find this so bazaar that people use cfl's like this...

It works, but takes so many and they need to be close.
I hated having to constantly move lights and hope the plants didn't grow into them when I wasn't around.

Burnt tops suck.

how much does one of those cfl's cost?

By the time I had enough of them I could have bought the hid I ended up replacing them with.

Not worth the hassle but can be a starting point. In my case you can't find an hid over 80w in the area so ordering online or driving for hours is the only option.

Mine were anywhere from a couple bucks to about $8 each when I grabbed them, but I also tried to get spectrums geared to the purpose.


Heat still gets to be an issue when you surround the plants with what I felt was enough lights.

 

[texasjack]

you can get a hid system on amazon for $110. Grow a pound
