O BULB
^ HEAT SHIELD THATS HOW ITS MEANT TO GO AND ITS HOW IT IS

it bounces the light back into the shield and allows it to cool
it may be a lot of light but as i can only do this grow to fund renting my own place id rather have 2 lights on her than 1
i started with w plants 1 died then 2 males so thats why shes all alone n i just kno im gonna get 10 oz plus of white sensi bud i an smell it now i re potted her in the biggest pot i could find its like 2 feet round now she can really grow there is at least 200 branches with big buds on and so much light shes gonna be a beast

peace
Yeah but your heat shield was quite clearly the wrong way up in this picture that you posted which is why your plants were burning on the tips.
You had reflected the heat onto your plants tips.

HAHAH YEH I WAS WRONG i didnt even look at these 1s as they was allready on the lights from day 1 when my mate gave me them

on the last grow i did i had adjustawings and these but the right way up now there the right way round but it wasnt that that was burning them it was ph lock for 2 days i think i just raised the lights a bit for a day or 2 recovery time half the time i have these heat shields up at the back out the way cause its so hard to overheat this shed its nearly freezing outside all the time now il show u pictures of how near i can get the lights when they go off u cant take a good picture with a hps on

oh and thank you for pointing out they were the wrong way as i would never have looked up into the lights to spot it thanks for all ur help guys il think of you all when im smoking ounces of fiiiine sensi (PEACE)

Well By My Math Im Going To Get About 10 Oz
I Spend About 70 A Week On Shit Bud
If I Can Get Enough Bud To Last 10 Weeks (if I Get 10 Os That Will Do 20 Weeks) Il Save £700 Thats A Deposit On A House Il Then Move In With My Girlfrind Into A 2 Bedroom House Pay The Electris For A Few Mnths Then Il Heve More Bud To Save Me More Money And It Will Be Pukke Bud Aswell And Plenty Of Hash Making Leaf Material

The Main Reason For Wanting A Place Is My Own Space And The Grow Room Will Be On My Property And My Mother In Law Wont Be Able To Whinge At Me About Being Paranoid It Will Be Hard Work Funding My Own Place And Electric Bills And Food N Stuff But I Have To Get Outa Here And This Plant Is My Only Escape (literaly ) If I Get Annoyed I Go See Her And I Kno She Has The Potential To Give Me All The Bud I Need .. Peace

Its easy to make mistakes we have and we all do.
The problem with heat shields being place incorrectly is that it then creates hot spots that cause burn but only in certain small areas called hot spots the rest of you room could be frozen and you'd still have a hot spot somewhere directly beneath the lamp.
I burnt one leaf on one plant on my last grow because of a hot spot,nothing else was burnt except one leaf:blsmoke:

im not too sure on the quality of these pics as i chose them from thumbnails there of day 23 in flower there taking shape really well specialy the top cola its split into about 12 seperate heads all pointing up towards the light and thats hust what i can see as its such a bush it really is hard to keep track of new bud growth and move the fanleaves so the buds can all get a share of the light
also i have put the heatshields on the right way lol i cant believe i left them like that n didnt spot it thanks for all your replies peace folks!

looking good....not sure from the pics but it apears that you might have some leaf folding/curling inwards? not sure if its just the angle or not....if so....sorry. otherwise.....it might be an early indication of some potential issue? otherwise....i love ur plant!

This is because you need a more powerful fan moving that hot air away from the tops,i know this from previously heat damaging my own plants:blsmoke:

hey guys heres day 29 and the calyx development has just started visualy and i can just see the pods apearing its a lil hard to capture on the pics but if you look really closely at the 1st pic you may just see them i have added a 16 inch fan blowing straight downwards bitween the 2 hps lamps theres a picture of the wide mutant branch with abnormal y shaped bud growth coming off it everywhere there is supposed to be a bud there is 2 on y shaped stalks on this branch if i had to have a fave branch lol this is it but i wont tell the other branches or should i ? (it may make them want to grow bigger to please me) or they may just quit crikey il just stay as i am quietly admiring the exceptional growth of this branch also this is the verry bottom branch and the growth is just as thick as the top buds and the sides theres no size discrimination here all the buds are fat and juicy and getting larger daily ....peace

hey can someone tell me if this is a hermie, or just a male with hairy flowers. the only males I can identify have pistil filled buds forming with one or a few nut like forms, so Im pretty sure they are hermies
