I don't know if you could be doing anything that is slowing her down man.

I assume you don't have any faults with your timers or anything and your light cycle is good? No light leaks or anything?

What sort of NPK are you feeding? Maybe you could back off on the N a bit.

But I reckon mostly you should just keep doing what your doing cos she does look good and she has to bud up for you soon. All those colas she's gonna have!!!! mmmmm lovely:blsmoke:

I was thanking I should cut out my squirrel cage fan that cools my light and just use my can fan that is in the room on my filter .. so it would be my in room filter fan and also connect to my light to cool it and blow the exhaust air out? As of right now my filter fan sucks air inside the room and blowes air stright out causing a little suction to pull air in

Nice Healthy looking plants Tahoe. What made you go with a 14/10 light schedule? I have read that in the last 3-4 weeks of flowering that it is gooded to drop the plants back to only 10-11 hours of light. I thought about doing this, but It was only one guy post, and I figured 12/12 is what is the proven method has been.

On a side note, I did read your other thread on UVB lights. It made sents. So yesterday I went and bought a 48"repti glo 8.0% UVB light, I am installing it tonight.

As for wall covering. PANDA FILM gets my vote. Easy to install. cost is not high. and easy to clean. I love the stuff.

Peace Out!

well.....theoretically, I had been thinking, and had discussuion around once they are flowering, some people consider that additional light time makes fror better buds.....though I think I pushed to much too soon and ended up with more vegeing going on than budding going on....I shoulda just stayed with the tried and true....12-12. Its been reset now so it will be 12-12 from now on. :roll:

Cool on the uvb light...try and keep some good solid records and then we can try and add that to the mix of peoples experience.

I am looking at the 3M diamond reflective material....super expensive....just thiking that for now...leave well enough alone. thans gfor the feedback on Panda though!

Cheers, merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!:blsmoke:

Yeah why the heck did you do that? I was informed to do that toward the end of flowering to induce an early harvest, I heard some people who grow out doors will cover there crops with black tarps to accomplish this..




Edit .. Damn I can't type fast enough, just read your post above...

Hey tahoe,

If you start having issues with the hight of your plants just start to tie them down. I just choped down my second SD and the total hight was only 13" plus the size of the container. I only ended up with 46g of dry bud.

Take a look. you can see that the majority is buds or multiple colas.
what do you think.

good luck

Just to throw it out there, when I changed the film that I am using, I just spray on adhesive to the existing film/wall, and stick it on using a paint roller...So if you by some panda film, and want to change it out, then you can just ROLL on the new film using spray adhesive....
