Wow, I am Loving the 400 watt HPS. I am running it and my 4 foot 8 bulb T5 mixed spectrum 4 red 4 blue. It's working out good so far. I don't think the 400 would be enough alone but maybe it would not really sure so I plan on running both fixtures through flowering. I am noticing many unproductive areas that I should have trimmed off already. Anyone have any advice on trimming or not trimming? I am on week 2 of flowering it has been 4 weeks since dropping to 12 x 12 lighting schedule.

Its such a triumph of fear and ignorance over fact and logic, that the drug that kills nobody...... Is the illegal one!!
I mean, how would you explain that to an alien who came down? -Bill Maher-
Thank You for the reply, I will tag what I want to get rid of all at once and try to keep the damage to a minimum. It really isn't anything that I am able to move out of the way it's just unproductive small side branches that are buried under the canopy and bugging me.Originally Posted by Weedasaurus

I typically trim a few days before moving a plant into flower, I trim off the lower growth that is likely to be unproductive, I than trim once more around day 14 of flowering, by this time the plant has stretched and typically has some new undergrowth to get rid of, sometimes it's hard to take off some branches or after 2 week a week branch looks decent, I don't trim this stuff I save it for making hash... My DQ for instance, it has some lower branches that end up putting out decent size buds I can't trim those.

Thanks Grojak, I will most likely trim a bit more next time. Here are a few new pictures of the DQ and Sour Kush. The fist 2 are of the sweeter DQ pheno, I didn't get a close up of the other one yet. The third picture is a close up of the Reserva Pravada Sour Kush. The fourth photo is of the tent the sweet DQ and sour kush are on the left hand side and the Stankier crazy branching DQ is on the right. I plan on working this pheno as a scrog sooner or later! Got that bamboo on stand by waiting for some weight!

Funky setup, makes sense though, I almost did the same thing with my 400w hps and 8 bulb T5 but decided to keep the T5 as a veg light, they all look nice.
I have a Jack the Ripper x unknown bag seed going it has the single curved down leaves of your sour kush, I thought it went herm when I first saw it.

I think anything with JTR should be decent Grojak. Not positive but the turned down sugar leaves may be a sign that it is romulan dominant. I germinated 10 seeds of a cross that a local caregiver bred and donated to me PH (purple heart) x JTR (jack the ripper). I started with 10 seeds on 07/09 I think. So far 7 have sprouted, 2 still have not kicked the shell but the tap roots are showing and it looks like one either needs more time or may not make it at all.

Crazy following a thread a guy is close to chopping his JTR at like 50 days, mines looking like a 10 week, no orange hairs and minimal resin production at day 52

Damn that is crazy, is it a hazy type of pheno?

Update things are going well but I have had a few bumps in the road so to speak. The sweet (cindy dom pheno) got burnt pretty badly. The leaves sucked up into a taco and the next day were crispy and mustard yellow as can be. I then drown the damn thing with straight H20 and it started to deteriorate. The next day was really humid and I for got to keep by inline fan going all day instead of 20 minutes per hour. Just about all the leaves wilted, curled up and died. Leaving me with the most horrible smelling disgusting sight ever. I trimmed what I could and have been hitting it with the fan over the last few days. I mean it's ok but I don't think the calyx' will recover. There are very few and they are small. My first impression of this pheno is that it has a very high leaf to calyx ration. Of course it could be mistake on my part. It doesn't drain well to begin with. These photos were taken on 07/13. As of right now they have a lot less leaf.
