Dude these are amazing, I have a cycle started with some widow. The dirt gave me a scare because it started to mold a little but I got some extra air flow and rice patties hung to dry the air a little. Have to say the leaves are showing great results now. My question here is, did you prune or trim back anything to keep them that thick and bushy? I mean you basically don't even have a plant it's a set of twin buds with a stick in the ground lol. Love it!!! Hit me up with a hint or two cause my crawl space only has 5 feet of room and I wanna keep them like that. Keep on growin'.

Sorry but he deserved my post cherry, these are beauts and he has the closest set up to mine. Only differences is my op is in a crawl space and there are aluminum reflectors on the walls. But once again awesome green thumb dude.

Ah the proverbial "popped cherry". It's nice to have something that looks good and people want my advice. However.......nah, no however, it's just nice.

Answer.....which d-rock could have answered instead of his (comical) comment....Will have to come in form of another question....

Are you looking at the first or second run??
Are you talking about the lollipopping done the keep the lower nugs that don't develop off the plant?".

I think you mean second run(last page of my thread), therefore, I like the natural look of a plant, so I let them go wild. This runs veg cycle went long though and I had to top several to fit my 48" height. The lollipopping is for just that, keeping the smaller nug off the plant to let the larger gain more from it's environment.

Here are a couple questions for you.
You say 5 Ft. Thats a lot of room if its your height. I only have 4 ft of height, so including the lights and pots the actual plant height is no more than 2 total feet. I do push it a little, but not to far. What is the 5 ft representing? Height, Width, Depth?
What do you mean the leaves are showing great results, were the ones before dying from curling or color, did the curl up or down?
Crawlspaces can get realy hot, whats your temps, humidity, air flow setup....gimme a breakdown?
Hows the setup look? Include pics!

Always happy to help a fellow hebalist. Ill check back and see what you say and give you more feedback.

Great observation! Almost right, I am using 12 2700k and 4 3500k in the bloom area, total of 16. Only 4 3500k in the clone box, and 8 3500k in the veg box. Its all about the light spectrum.....blues for veg and reds for bloom....but I mix in a little blue also.....

The box itself is detailed at the beginning of the thread but here's the layout again if you don't want to go back....

It's 5' long, just under 5' tall and it's only 30" deep. The bloom area is the whole left, clones top right, and veg bottom right....clone box is 1'wide x 1'tall x 30"deep.....veg is 1'wide x 2'tall x 30"deep. I have doors on all areas to keep light out of dark areas(and so my garage isn't lit up all night.....and bugs and temp.....)and I can harvest about 1/2 pound every 2 months.....

And I thought this thread was dead....
