gotta get that light right , then you can keep it closer, which will keep them shorter. and fim or topping would help(when they get bigger)

looks better dude, theres all kinds of ways you can arrange those bulbs.
and its best to remove the bulbs before trying to tie them up....

cant smell it too much yet ... shes got a ways to go

dono how much your watering when you do. but when mine were like that i just misted the soil every other day ... very small amount.
if you been watering them like a cup each .. id say once every 5 days or so

so last night after hooking up the box and making it perfect i had a fatal accident
i lost two plants i used comand hooks that stick to walls to help the lights yea bad mistake i have my guitars hanging from one each so i figured one would hold my lights guess it was a lil to hot and the glue melted and the lights fell on the plants this time for awhile long enough to fry two of them and half of one other one the half burnt one i hope will be ok but i have to have a funneral for two lil babys today (RIP) here are photos
i shed a single tear when i pulled them out of the soil it was so sad ive never had to do this before not this far in ive killed a few two r 3 days in but not do to burning from lights
RIP my lil babys your in marijuana heaven now


i still have 3 of them so im hopeful
im gona get some lowryder seeds they look incredable i found a guy growing them in big gulp cups start to finnish 60 days 28 to 42 g auto flowering no need to change the light cycle this is incredable i could get a good 9 oz in my box with these that would help pay some of my debts and provide some smokage

sorry to hear that man.... lol and i just told someone yesterday to watch their light they duct taped.
rule #1 never expect anything that has glue to hold your lights up.
ive heard the "came home , my lights fell on my plants" story WAY too many times now
