4 Weeks into Flowering with some BAD ASS Colas

Just sharing my current grow with some nice Cola's developing. She is a Sour Diesel, 4 weeks into Flowering. I have a Purple Cookie on the left, but you can't see her very well in this picture. My closet space is small, but I've learned to utilize every spot where the "Light" is. I'm hoping for a 1/2 pound from this girl, and from my experience, I don't think I'll be too far from my yield expectation. She is 55" at the top towers.

Looking good. Those have a lot of time to fill in.

Good luck,

You're right! I've still got lot's of time for bud development! Just hanging on for the ride, now!! The "Stretch" killed me, though! Managing a large plant like this in a small closet is a real challenge. The picture also does no justice to the buds down below. There are numerous small towers below that are growing like mad...this should be fun!

Looks really good for four weeks! Best part is yet to come!
You have two lights in your closet for one plant? Sizes? :)

Yes, 2 lights, but 2 plants. The plant on the left is 23", an Indica (Purple Cookie). The plant on the right is 55", a Sativa (Sour Diesel). Yes, the best is yet to come!!!! I have a feeling I will have to stake up these cola's. Last time I grew the SD my buds got so heavy the started falling over (I LIKE THAT PROBLEM!)

you should line your walls with astro-foil or something. lot's of light being wasted.... plants look good....
My closet is very small, so I'm a bit concerned about heat. I have considered lining the closet with something that will reflect the light. Any advice on controlling the heat? I do have ventilation that exhausts out my roof. I could put in a bigger exhaust fan, but I still have to deal with my home temps. It's very cold where I live, so my home needs to stay fairly warm. Right now, I am able to manage my temps and humidity, perfectly.

I'll be going to the store shortly! Thanks for the tips!! With 4 weeks left in flowering, this extra light should make a difference!

I believe that a diffuse white, like Panda Film, is a bit better than foil.

(definitely take advantage of side lighting via reflection)

Good luck,

astro-foil is more practical! it can be used on an on-going basis, in a multitude of applications. paint can only be put down once, and although panda film is pretty thick, astro-foil is much more forgiving. panda will rip/tear fairly easily after repeated use.

Put up the Reflectix yesterday after work. I can't believe how easy it was and how much more light is hitting my BUDS!

Orca Film is highly reflective, and its a diffuse reflection so it cuts down heat retention and wont cause "hot spots" like Mylar or foil if its not perfectly flat. Which btw, Mylar is only 90%+ reflective it is in PRISTINE condition.
I also have a very tight space and have made several modulations...
