14 Days Into Flowering...

lookin good man keep it up

They're beautiful. And quite large for four fluoros.

Damn dude looking beautiful for first grow and with flours cents

the MOBs are a little shorter, because of he strain i suppose. but they are coming along..

I noticed a lot of plants people post on here, the stem has like no leaves half way up the plant... did i do something wrong?

nop .. but if you continue to use T5s you schould also consider to prune (remove 1/4 bottom bud sites before 12/12)

as the real down side of tubes and CLFs is penetration .. dont provide mouch light after 10 inch`s .. need to keep the buds with in 2-8 inch`s to grow some what close to dense buds ..

so trick is to train em and keep em low and with a even canorpy .. and maybe prune low bud sites (not fan leaves !!) so the plant can consentrait and use all its energy on the top buds that get enough light and can become good smoke ...

also consider to get another 4 tubes for the future (if you dont choose HPS/LED) I mix my T5HO 49W tubes up a bit so I keep 4x6500K and 2x 2700K and a total of 27,900 Lumens (I only use em to veg tho .. I got a 600W HPS for flowering)

p.s.

a few +23W CLFs for side lightning now for the last flowering stages would do wonders I belive .. get em in 2700K warm withe .. can also be used in the future for all the grow with your 4 tubes .. the more light the better .. and all colors all grow .. just more blue spectrum in veg and red/yellow in flowering ..

a small investment in a 6 pack of 23W 2700K CLFs and 3 Y-splits would be golden at your stages as flowering plants/buds need a lot of light ..

just a suggestion tho .. best of luck ..
