hey Bygone, nice grow and looking forward to the grow report as I`m growing a ww/bb. as for light penetrating the canopy u could trim the fan leaves, either cut the whole fan leaf off, just enough for the light to get through, or cut the length of the fan leaf, or a combination of both, it may help. I read you have lst`d them so I presume u cant train them any more. good luck and happy growing :-)

Pretty sure once my plant fills up again I'm going to run into the same issue as you with the light blocking...

Yeah, I haven't been lollipopping per say cause I don't have much of a stem going on (which is a good thing lol) but every time I water, I've been plucking off leaves that either look sad and pathetic or seem to be blocking a lot of other leaves. So far so good... but its hard to gauge how much is helpful and how much is hurtful for the plant.

they are very hardie plants, however it will slow your plants growth down but you may get better results ie. bigger budzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. If you are willing to wait a bit longer.

Alright, so the ladies are 5 days in after showing pistils... the WWxBB has a lot of pistil growth going on.. the Five-O not so much. The Five-O is really showing the sativa in 'er - much slower to sex and show pre-flowers, and still stretching... Not sure if the pics show it well, but they are actually exactly the same height now.

WWxBB on the left, Five-O on the right :)

LOL! Thanks! :D Yeah... they're stretching toooooo much!! :/ Both have nearly TRIPLED in height... but I still have some wiggle room... not much. Also, I have 2 T8 fixtures that I use for side lighting but took them out for pics (you can see 1 in the 2nd pic). I got a new side job as a horseback riding instructor last week and I plan on using that as my "splurge" money haha... i.e. my grow op money... in other words... I plan on finding a new grow cab ASAP. I've been looking but haven't come across anything yet. I'm definitely on the lookout though. I probably can raise the lights another 4-5"... and the top colas are literally about a cm away from the lights. I've also been defoliating a little each day and have cut off a few of the lower smaller branches that looked sad. Been trying to slow the vertical stretch but it's not working...

Check for garage sales and the likes. Can find some goodies if you look long and hard. Also, believe it or not dumpster diving is good for items you'd normal pay for. If it's in the trash it's up for grabs!

I got my flower cab off craigslist for 25 bucks, it was a bitch to move by my self as it was uber heavy. But maybe you can find one on CL. I had my sites set on a smaller one that had wheels on the bottom but it sold before I could get it.

I have a little teeny 2 door... having a friend with a truck is always helpful. ;) My current cab is so perfect for 1 plant... I really should've just done one, oh well. It's also light weight and has wheels. I bought it for $15 at Goodwill and I've been keeping my eye out. I'm thinking about buying a tent though honestly... just not sure if it's worth the price vs. making my own cab.

Personally I'd make one instead.
same here, I made mine from scrap wood and only had to drop the cash $$$ on insulation really. But I do have a ton of tools which makes it easier. If you have a drill and a sawz-all however, a decent cab would only take a few hours to complete, plus it would fit your needs (or space) to a tee.

hey Bygone, looking good, if you don't have to go stealth mod then maybe you could turn a spare room into your grow room, if its upstairs you could vent into the loft. if only we all had understanding governments like yours. good luck and happy growing :-)

Thanks! I'm growing stealth, but I have space in a closet I can use... I just can't turn the entire closet into a grow space because I can't vent it (need to keep the closet door open and keep the cab stealth/lightproof). I'm renting an apt actually, growing as illegal as you can get haha. Understanding gov't my ass! lol I live on the east coast.

Uploading some new pics now! :D

9 days from showing pistils, 20 days from 12/12 flip


I had the Five-O sitting out beside the cab a little because the main cola was too tall lol... hence why it's leanin' a little.


WWxBB :D



Five-O... sorry depth of field on this one is kinda shitty
