its great to see all of the things you guys are doing with 250 watters. im soon going to be utilizing either a 400 watt hps or maybe 2 250 watters. its gonna be GREAT

i've cut all preflowers that weren't screen height, do you leave everything else below the screen then?

if you have good ventilation, leave them. if you don't have good ventilation, cut most of it. the reason is mold/mildew; the humidity can get very high underneath the canopy.

cool, i had already cut off everything that wasn't going to amount to anything, and ventilation isn't an issue. these are in dwc.

Just a little update on my 2 girls....

Today is flower day 41, and i think they have a week or so to go. I'm thinking about chopping off the top cola first, and leaving the other buds an extra week or so to fatten up. I didnt do any training, so only the top buds are getting much light.

They are starting to fatten up nicely tho!!!

How is the odor o those NLxShiva's ?
I'm looking into some NL crosses for some low odor strains to grow.
thanks and best regards

They hardly smell at all to be honest... Its my first grow, and i was expecting it to stink, but i can barely smell them when i'm in the cupboard. Sometimes there is a slight whiff when i walk past, but its really not very much at all.
