That's great man, she's really filling out that frame well, looks like you've still got some room to tuck in the corners there. I'm on day 3 of flower in my tent and the screen is already 80 percent full, getting nervous about it being over filled by the time stretch is over. Your plant seems to be a little more indica leaning so I bet it will fill that screen just perfect.

Yeah I get the best results by letting her do her thing. Don't LEDs penetrate farther into the canopy anyways?

Ya I ded feel like the led penetrates nicely....for the past two weeks I have been taking off the leaves below any way. I left a couple huge fan leaves that still get light. But other than that, just small ones that didn't make it through the screen!

So I came home today, and have lots of dead leaves ( lower ones pretty much on the bottom of the plant. Im guessing this is normal as they are not needed? Most of my big fan leaves fell off also! Any input? Thanks!

I don't think it should be dropping any leaves... My plants are just as far along as yours and all of my leaves are nice and green.


Did you trim out the fan leaves under the screen? If not all sorts of bad things can happen with the moist stagnant air down there.

Thats what fell off, is the fan leaves. I left a couple of the big ones that were still getting light. they branched out so far lol. But now I have nothing below the screen. I have a very confined space, and its pretty bushy. Maybe the leaves just werent getting the nutes they needed?

Maybe they weren't getting enough light, I don't know. Usually a plant will consume itself when it's not receiving enough nutrition. Are they turning yellow and falling off? Or are they wilting

They were wilted I'm at 1374 ppm. Don't dare put any more nutes in. The rest of the plant is looking fine just the ones under the screen that I didn't trim. They were not getting any light obviously so I'm guessing that was the problem?

Hmm, I don't know man, a tree usually doesn't drop green leaves, they tend to use up the nutrients in the leaves first. It's not a food problem, the leaves would have changed colors if they wanted food.

I would ask in the infirmary, it's probably nothing but if it's some kind of fungus or bacteria thing you'll be glad you asked.
