Thank you all. I've been trying to keep the close but for some reason the leaves are turning brown when I get as close as I did on my first grow (about 2 inches). I had no problems then but these plants seem sensitive. My main thing was the bud size and I always like to reinforce my thoughts.....lol. I hope they start getting really fat and finish after 8 weeks because I am anxious.

The real surprise has been the size of the buds that aren't close to the light yet still have almost the same size as the top buds closer to the light. Maybe it's the natural air and love and attention I am giving these ladies.


The watering schedule when it's needed is in this order then repeated until I flush at the end. This seems to be working and I was curious if it's close to what others are doing/tried before.
"I always use distilled water for everything"

1) Regular distilled water
2) Miracle grow flowering fertilizer
3) Blackstrap mollases

I go in that order and then repeat the cycle. They haven't needed as much water as my previous grow but I am using a different soil set up. The soil is about 50/50 basic top soil with miracle grow soill mixed.
