Buds are looking better already. Getting some decent swell.

u forgot the pics

Anyway you can lay the main shoots down and support them ? I ran into the same thing b4 and thats what i did. Made a world of diff.

No pics pretty much the same as the last one just more hairs have turned brown and some more swell. I bent the top ones down already so I could lower the lights most of the lower buds are liking it already.

Have you tried to introduce some verticle lights? Stood up a couple inches away and you'd get some good growth deep inside.

No room and I have some side lighting in there already.
Had a good grow buddy of mine come over to look at my setup and get some ideas for improvements for the next grow. So far it will be 6 Indica plants in a "box" of light (there will be some changes to the lighting), topped and LST to try for 16 tops per plant, veg for 2 maybe 3 weeks, 18/6 for a week and 12/12 from then till finish. Goal is to get 1-1 1/2 oz per plant under fluorescents.

IMO,A good LST takes atleast 6 weeks to achieve what your wanting.8 would be better.

Honestly I dont know I am just going on what my friend is telling me. He is a very good grower makes his living off of it and he grows some of the best buds I have smoked so I will listen and learn what I can. If veg takes longer then it will take as long as it needs to grown and train the plants.

first off nice job your plants look good! maybe a little "thin" (not sure if thats common for only being veged so far) but atleast they are perky! did u use a fan to strenghten them? i have a very similar setup except iv only got 2 plants because this is my first grow and im still experimenting, i started with clones 2 weeks ago ones now a foot tall but thin and the other is about 8 inches and bushy. i plan on flowering my first crop under my HO T5's i dont know when to train my girls i dont want to screw them up but i want to experiment with LST and SCROG anyone have any other suggestions on how to keep them even and bushy enough for flowering under T5's ? or when to do start like i said my plants are pretty young still thanks!

Too keep them bushy once you have 4 growth nodes pinch or top the plant under the node then start to pull down the 4 branches everyday or tie them down. You want to keep the T5 light pretty close to the plants but so so close it burns them. T5 has a short effective range and as long as you are keepin the plant and buds exposed and within the effective range you will have some nice results.

Love my T5s, you got some awesome looking girls. Looking to do a 5 or 6 plant scrog with T5s soon, seedlings coming up on a week old.

Thanks for the comments and good luck on your T5 grow.

Update pics.

Plants look nice! I'm going to be using T5's, and hope mine turn out that well. I'm getting my supplies together for my first grow in years, and this thread has been extremely interesting, and helpful.

Thanks for the comments and I am glad my thread has been helpful to you. Keep an eye out for my next grow. There will be some changes to the lighting but still all T5 and will be going for 1-1.5oz per plant.

Coming up on 46 days into flower, getting closer. Now if I can just get rid of these dam white flies I have been fighting with.

Those T5s seem rather far from your plants, no? Nice setup bud, just curious why you don't lower them or something, right?

^^ Read the last page or 2 and that will answer your comment. Thanks, it will be going from nice to killer next grow with the help of a friend.

Well last night I pulled all the plants out of the closet to clean it up a bit. All I can say is WOW. First off my plants are looking pretty good yield is for sure better then my last grow. Looks like I will be getting 1/2oz per plant give or take, which is better than the 9 grams per plant I got with my first grow. My Blue Dream, NYCD and Pandora's Box look awesome. The smells coming off the plant are dank and strong. The other big Wow was the white flies. I had no idea they where as bad as they are, sucks. Each plant was taken out side and shook off really well, the worse ones where sprayed with the hose on mist to wash off the flies and Mighty Wash. I need to do another treatment tonight as well. I also needed to tie up the stems since the weight of the buds was taking a toll, this also helped me get the buds closer to the lights. Did some final trimming for swell and to let more light get the areas that need it.

Looking good.
