Thanks Breezy1!! You do have to be careful trimmimg leaves but it can be done..try to get the plant used to it early on if you can .... I've had lots of yellow leaves below the screen but nice and green above which is strange...thode yellow leaves are what I've been trimming...
hope that helps...there is also defoliation but you have to start as soon as the plant has a few strong leaves...
forgot to yake pics...ugh...I'll be back soon...lol..sorry...
thanks again!!

Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:wave:

here is the AK48:)...she has quite a few side shoots but I still fimmed her again:dance013:...I still need to keep her small for another 41-50 days...TW can go as long as 70 days so I want to see what the final result will be from that...

you should be able to see the Fim from above:)

I've managed to get light to more of the cola's this time and its paying off:jump:
picture.php

the crystals are here:jump:..lol...

Its starnge how so many leaves are yellowing below the screen this time but that may be a plus in my favour...time will tell!!
The last TW is cured now and she tastes like purple Kush( skunky and fruity)..I will post some pics of the buds tomorrow....
Thanks again everyone and I look forward to hearing from you all again:)

Nice cat man... how close is your light to the top of your cab? I just got the same light last night and ran it and it was really hot I had to put a huge fan in the bottum to just keep it cool up there the light is 1.5" away from the top. Any ideas?? Where did you get the fan under the ballest and the bottom of the cab? Thanks man
Looks good and keep it up!

Very Nice Setup BC ! and Your cat looks like many years stoner :D how much did he eat ? :D K+ 4 Yaa ! Good Luck Bro
 
Hey BC: Cool cat! She looks like an old stoner. My two don't care for it. Which is nice, cause it keeps them out of my grow.

Hoping this lady has better cola's this round but we'll see..

What do you mean by better? You want fatter, denser colas, you'll probably need to beef up your ventilation and get that 150 to with in 4-10" of the canopy. Even w/out obstructions a bulb that small looses a lot of it's intensity beyond 12". Not puttin ya down at all Bro! You're growin your own, and doing it well! Just a suggestion and my 0.02. With a little tweeking you can bang out 1+gpw! Keep it green! :ying:
