Thanks @rickyrozayyy. I burnt their tips during veg with a ph fluctuation but she's been humming along ever sense. I just tried something different and packed them in a bit tight.

Burning tips or fan leaves sometimes is a showing of pushing your plants. Which isn't bad either. Especially running higher nutes or boosters. Just like a body builder taking roids. Juice those mfz. And any time bro @Bakersfield

I know plants...I watch my plants closely every day...I watch how they react to everything I do n don't do to em...
I am the Plant Whisperer...
On a plant being grown indoors w an ABUNDANCE of leaves that's hindering airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites and... if u will... lower fan leaves...
It makes no sense whatsoever NOT to remove those larger fan leaves that are obstructing light and the movement of air throughout the body of the plant... Idk what's goin on in y'all's garden or w ur plants...But in my garden and w my plants I remove leaves...Often and many...And my plants show thier appreciation in many ways...W explosive growth and nicer fuller buds thru out the plant...What was once one day a struggling weak little budsite destined to produce shit bout a third of the way down the branch lingering in the shade is now a thriving thickening budsite well on its way to producing a nice thick dense resinous juicy bud now that it's umbrella from the light above has been removed...
Defoliate... It's the new wave... Everybody who knows anything is doin it....Get with it or get left behind...

In the pics attached Defoliation was practiced allowing many lower branches to become Tops participating in the canopy... Without Defoliation this could have never been achieved...

Cool bro... I'll help anyway I can...I jus keep it real simple man...I mix my own soil kinda like a Super Soil I guess n jus add tap water thru the grow...My current plants been runnin like 50days now on tap water only... Depending on plant size I average round 300-400 actual CFL watts per plant...I've mixed in a couple LED bulbs this grow jus cause they caught my eye...Less watts less heat...Seem good so far...Mixed spectrum always...Bout 50/50...Keep my temps n airflow in check....Here's a couple pics of my current plant and some other closet CFL set ups I've had jus as examples...

Right on bro... I'm seriously amazed as to what CFLS do... the Plant in full flower looks great!!! I've never ran soil before. Only coco and dwc... I have access to lights ballasts whatever I need. I do wanna try something collet in temp tho and it's obviously gonna be for a way smaller space. Probably my closet. Which is 3x3 with a 9 foot ceiling

Cool...U can def pull somthin worth while off in the closet...All I've ever worked w is soil so if u have any ?'s jus hit me up...I've never dealt w any kinda hydro grow... Never dealt w HID lighting either...All I've ever had to work w is small spaces n CFLs seem to do the trick...For me anyway...I tried LEDs once n was great for Veg n produced mad resin but I was disappointed in bud size so went bk to CFL... i think HID lighting in a closet would b a constant battle w temps unless u ran ducting n all that...Imo CFLs for small spaces is the way to go...

Hey bro,
your post was the first I read and responded too. And it was not a demand, a request yes.
If you look you will see I like the pics and post of MVaga
Please I am not looking for argument here, and I hope your not. I am here to learn and pics are a good teaching tool.

There's two diff spectrums of CFL...I mix em 50/50 during Veg and flower...And they come in all diff wattages...I've used em all at one point or another... Mainly I spread out the 23watters w "y" splitters and the 42watters are nice too...Not much bigger in actual size but pack almost double the wattage/lumens... Keep em close...Round 6 inches give or take a couple inches here n there...Spread out evenly

My reply was not focused at you, I was just commenting on Ricky's postings.
Yes all is good, I totally am impressed with your grow, thumbs up to you.
