Flowering Technique ?'s

[Colitas]

1) Is it possible after first week in flower or once you identify the feminine plant to go back on a 24/0 cfl to induce faster maturation of buds????
2) Is one 42w cfl that puts out 150w 2700K directly on top with reflector and two unreflected 23watters that puts out 100w 6500K at the mid section of growth enough to get decent buds???
3) Also is it okay to cut all fan leaves so that the light can penetrate to all the branches that will produce bud sites??? this being done in second week of flower

i wouldnt cut any fan leaves off, the plant needs them. i just wait tiil they die and either fall off or very easy to pull off.

and u could switch back to 24/0 but it wont help budding, the plant will take awhile to veg and it will only grow larger.

1. returning to 24/0 would have the opposite effect and return the plant to a vegatative state with no bud production
2. from one small plant.
3. Fan leaves are the engine of the plant leave them where they are unless lollipopping when back in flower.
