Here are the girls at week 7 of flowering. Thay are looking healthy and happy. We had a slight nute burn situation in week 5-6. I know in flowering there should be a dec amount of yellowing out but you can tell there is a bit much. The stems to the leaves are purple and some of the yellowing leaves are turning purple. temps stay between 68-76, and humidity from 20-24%. kind of curious why the purple is happening if they are not too cold. Still a good majority of white pistils and hairs. think We might be ready around 10 or 11 weeks. These girls are prodominantely sativa for sure. we are using molasses now. we stepped back off the concentrates (big bloom, tiger bloom) We gently flushed after our nute burn started. Curious, If we finished the grow organic without chemical concentrates would it effect it? I know yield will be decreased, but This is also cfl so we are not expecting a whole mess of nugo. What do you guys think, should i continue with a 1/4 strength or see how it goes with just molasses. I plan to flush a week or two prior to harvest. So if I do reintroduce it would only be for two weeks or so. I have plenty of other nutes, organic and chem. If there are any other things i may use let me know. Like I said I have a few diff ones so let me know things that might help and I will let you know if I own it or can acquire it. Thanks PEACE AND LOVE

And don't fret, The mirror is not part of the grow just in the room the closet is in. And there is a photo where all the lights are directly overhead. it is not like that, they are spread out now fully covering the entire plant. Light penetration has increased. We have a few fans moving air around 24hrs a day. We have also lost most of the lower growth and very small bud sites with like 4 pistils due to the canopy being so thick, or we have pulled old dead fan leaves. We do not pick much if any healthy "green" foliage, but is pulling burnt or dying leaves bad? I have heard that pulling them help the colas and rest of the plant gain the nutes that we being consumed, and I have also heard that the energy used to repair where the site of "trim or removal" happened is about the same as what you would get out of it so they break even with little benefit. What you know or thinkk?

Don't pull them, cut them, you could seriously damage the stem if you pull them. If some of the buds are covered by leaves then you can cut some off to get them more lights. If you are at 7 weeks and your buds this big I am sure it won't matter much. How many CFL , what wattage and what nutes did you use?

We use a sterile very sharp carpet knife to trim. I just say pull just cuz. We are in 3gals. We went strainght into those from 16 oz solos. We used fox farm ocean forrest potting soil. As for nutes and such we used Fox Farm grow big, liquid seaweed, banana mana (banana extract nute), worm castings, And water we let sit out for days before use. We also use Fox Farm Big bloom, Tiger bloom, and High phos Jamaican bat guano, and now have begun a small dose of moleasses. We also have kelp meal, organic bone and blood meal, high nitrogen seabird guano, epsom salt, liquid lime nute, and maybe a few others. Did not use too many or much of these so far. As for cfls we have 23 26w bulbs and two 42w evenly spread around the plant with the 42's directly over each one. I know its a lot of lights but it has good coverage and penetration the way we have it. The electric bill has barely gone up at all. We vegged for 2months/24hrs a day with only 8 26W bright whites 6500k. I also got a good majority of this for free or cheap. Many people tell me with what I spent on this I could have gotten a cheap MH or Hps, but not the case this time. I'm happy with how they are going, any advice of feedback on nutes or anything will be greatly appreciated.
