Yeah .. I know .. I just play with it now .. adding .. removing .. depends on the temps .. at day its still around 80 - 90f .. so I cant add too much ..
I guess the harvest will be pretty lame , but next grow I`ll invest much more ..
will stop playin around.. lol :peace:

Yeah bro she doesn't look good at all, but I have a 80% for sure guess on what's wrong with her. That pot that you have her in is tiny man. Your plant is about 2.5 feet tall and that pot looks like it should've been transplanted out of after 4 weeks. I had to do the same thing 4 days ago, and I had her in a 2.5 gallon pot to a 5 gallon pot 4 weeks into flower. You won't see any bud growth or plant growth if you don't transplant her asap. What size is that pot anyways? Are you using any nutes? Did you get another 105 watt'er yet cause your gonna need it to finish up. If you transplant and and 2 105 watt'ers and flower for 5 more weeks you'll be gravy baby. Best of luck. Late

Hey man .. I guess the pot is small .. not sure about galons but it fits exactly my 10*10*6cm rockwool .. so the pot is like 10*10*15cm .. I`ll transplant him in a couple of days , might help .. Tnx

I use GHe nutes , Total bloom & FloreBloom - Full strengh ..
I have heat problems here .. so my guess that shes in stress from it .. I`ll change the pot, wait for a week or somethin,and then i`ll add some 105Watters ..
pretty much stuck for now ..
I heard everywhere that when you flower, the plant doubles or triples in size .. mine got higher 4 cm tops in a month ! you think its a pot size prob ?

Pot size can cause premature death or harvesting due to root bound, which causes yellowing of older fan leaves and stunted growth. These are the same characteristics as N def., and will cause for a noob to add more nutes. The plant will take the nutes and try to grow but due to limited pot size it will speed up the yellowing and dying process and by reading some of the pervious posts you are also having heat problems. The thing that I have to ask again is how many lights do you have? Cause it may not be the lights, it may be that you are not getting enough ventilation. If you have baby cpu exhaust fans in your grow box that's not enough. Those baby fans just get rid some of the heat and the air gets really sticky in tight/confined places. That's basically a baking oven for a plant. If you do have a smaller grow box I would say try to add a small 6" fan in the box blowing at all time. 1000% yes that's a thousand percent sure that will help your heat issues. If you can't get a fan I would for sure think about adding homemade CO2 to your room to offset the heat issues. I would give you the link but I'm posting from my phone right now. I don't know what your on/off time is as far as lighting, but I would try to have the lights on when it is day time, that way you could leave the grow box open to help with heat. I know how it is with heat. I have ( 8 ) 27 watt'ers, ( 2 ) 43 watt'ers, and a 105 watt'er all on 1 plant and my grow room is the corner of my unused bathroom, and those lights tend to keep that room pretty moist round 80-85 degrees. But I have a fan on her at all times and I open the bathroom door when the lights are on so she can get some the cool Central Air circulating around my apartment. Hope I helped bro, imma stay close to your grow cause we're arond the same flowering time and I wanna she how she finishs up. Check out my grow when you get a chance. Late

Now I got 1- 65w , 2- 43w , 1- 23w .. all warm except one 45watter ..
I got 2 fans .. 4` each .. in and out .. workin 24 hours straight .. recently added a water cooling system .. throwing ice to water at noon when its hot ..
The problem is that the room is on the top floor , close to the roof .. and its fuckin hot inside.. no AC .. so the fans are basicly running hot air inside the closet .. the water-coolin helps , but not much ..
2 days ago i made some co2, small bottle tho.. think I gonna make some more if you say it can help me .. (didnt really understood how co2 helps with heat issues)
Tnx for supportin man ! Helps a lot :peace:

From what I've heard with the CO2 is that it helps your plant break done it nutes in higher or more humid environments. When the het is to high the plant has trouble with breaking done its sugers and nutes, and by adding CO2 it helps it out even in higher temps. To a grow room like that I would say try to have 2-3 12 oz. plastic pop bottles of CO2 spread out around the plant to help. As far as with the heat issues it gonna be tough bro. Where do you live at? Is it always hot like that around there? I would try to get more air from the room in that closet, because when that air gettins in your closet and it doesn't get out, it will only get hotter. Then you having a hydro system watering 2-3 times a day is a must, so humidity may be playing a big role as well. I had that going on early in my grow. I didn't let any outside air in the room and just kept the doors closed for most of the day. But having temps at 80-85 degrees F, and humidity at 65-70% wasn't good at all, and it showed. I'd say just try to vent that closet as best as you can and add a 6" fan on the inside to help kick some of the old hottass air out the box! Hope all goes well. Late
