wow... don't ever say that.
I already said it's natural, the fan leaves are yellowing because the flowers are eating up the nutrients out of those leaves, just let them die off on their own.
First time CFL grow. How do they look???

Yes my fellow freen thumber...waitttt. Patience is a virtue. It gets better with age. What is really hard is not smoking it as its drying and curing. I couldnt hold out...lol. I was smoking some of the very small popcorn buds that I harvested. It was ok but seriously, dont get carries away. Weed that has been properly dried and cured smokes SOOOO much better and hits way harder then baby newborn buds, I can say this from experience now.
I initially cut some fan leaves off that were blocking light to lower budsites but I caution you to not get carried away. Those leaves are the food factories. They will die off naturally because your girl has sued them up. Just pull them off as they die. If you get to carried away with clipping them, in my opinion, could potentially hurt your yield because they nourishment wasnt there in the quantity that it could have been. Its a balancing act is how I look at it.
Your grow looks good bro..keep it up!

Yea kinda thought that was the case. I am just so anxious and it is only day 37 of flowering. I wish I knew the strain and when it is supposed to be done. I do not have a magnifying glass. Anyone have any guesses as to what this might be?

This morning when I looked at the ladies I thought they where in big trouble. One of the main colas was so far bent over it was almost touching the ground. They where all bent really bad. Guess they are starting to get to heavy. Anyways tied them up real good and think they are going to be ok. WOW I can believe how much of a difference the nutes have made they are really taking off now. Wish I would have been using since the beginning. Anyways here they are thoughts? Pictures are not great but did some quick picture taking.
Edit: Maybe because I added 3 more lights to the grow but now for some reason i am having to water every other day. Before it was every 3 days. Is it because the ladies are putting a lot of energy into the buds and causing them to soak up a ton of water or is it because of the slightly higher temps? Went from 78 max to 85 max.

Your water situation is probably a combination of higher temps and a bigger/ more thirsty plant. On another note, it looks as if your pistils are starting to recede on the lower budsites, and this is an indication that its starting to mature and gonna start fattening up

Well just got back in town from some out of town business work. Got back and was a little shocked I let someone else take care of them for me while I was away and they did not do a great job. They definitely got a little fatter and the 2 smaller plants look good. Do have major concerns on the big lady though. One of the stems as you can see in one of the pictures below looks like it is completely dying and one the buds on that stem has already died and dried up. What is going on and should I just go ahead and chop it to save the rest? HELP PLEASE! Here is some bud porn. Thanks for responding
Well found out why that stalk is like that. It fell over into one of the lights so it got burnt up. Should I cut just that one stalk or will it pull through?
