I'm about a week into flower with my 3 plants. I'll give some background if needed, if not, you can skip to the third paragraph.
It's my first grow and they're all NL/Skunk mix, from 3 different seeds (not clones). I started with just 2 plants, killed one early on (learned the hard way not to follow the instructions on the back of the nute bottle). I then germinated and started 2 more, but that's why middle plant in the pic looks bigger...it's probably 2 1/2 weeks older than the others. As you can see, I've got a DWC setup for each, and the light setup is as seen in the diagram below. They're all doing well, about a week into flowering now. I've finally got the pH, PPM thing down (I think), keeping good temps, etc., and they're really growing fast now that I've switched to 12/12. They were all topped several weeks into veg. The middle plant vegged for probably 6 weeks, and the smaller 2 for about a month before I switched over last weekend.
I'm starting to get concerned about how dense one of them is growing. They're all on the "bushy" side, but at least for 2 out of the 3 there's enough stretch to allow light/air through the plant. One of them, though, is dense as hell. I mean, it's literally node on top of node. You can see in the close-up pic the plant I'm talking about. Actually, it's now just in the last few days starting to stretch somewhat, but it's still one big clump of dense nodes. Do I have anything I need to be doing to it? Is it too dense, do I need to prune/trim, or just leave it be? Again, this is my first grow, and I'm just not what to do. Thanks.
