I don't know if I'd say fluffy. I attached a pic, not a good one of the leaf condition, just a good one of the bud condition. Check it out:
Looking good! So you are in the 5th week as well. What strain is it?
No offense but those look to be in about there 2nd or maybe 3rd week of flower.......Im gonna go with a bit of over nute that is why your getting eagle claw of leaves.........Just my .02
Yep, started week 5 today. This is my first grow so I'm sponging knowledge from wherever I can. I have no idea the strain, it's bag seed from some very nice product that I was lucky enough to find a few seeds in.
Your plants to look very nice though, and healthy! When I saw those types of bud leaves, I just attributed too copious amounts of resin in/on the leaves considering their location, and the rest of my plants look fairly good now.
Here' my total thread if you're interested.
