Xoshua's 2.0 CFL-Blackstar240LED

what size is youe tent or cab you are using and btw im subbd

I cant see it exactly on this picture but I will measure soon enough. With my legal limit 20 plants I need something bigger like a room I think....

You're doing good Xoshua
Nice job lollipopping your plants, it will increase your yield for sure.
The only thing I would recommend is to do some trimming at the top of the canopy.
Pull off some fan leaves to help let the light penetrate further down.
Don't go overboard, but pull a few leaves from the top of each plant and see how well it works.
Good luck.

I took some fan leaves off that were blocking other shoots. I also lolipopped a little bit off the other plant. My question, will this be alright I took some fan leaves off? And I've never folaige fed these girls. Should I start spraying the leaves with nutes and calmagic or just the soil?

Fan leaves are perfectly fine to take off as long as you don't take to many off, it does work to get light deeper

Do not foliage feed your plants during flowering!!!
Never spray anything on your buds while their developing, it promotes powdery mildew and other molds.
Not to mention that whatever chemical you put on them during the budding stage will more then likely contaminate your buds permanently, meaning that you'll end up smoking it.
Some folks say they can pull this style of growing off, but I've never seen it work in person, as it always comes back to bite them with high mildew and mold outbreak rates in the end.

Taking some leafs off is fine, the plants will end up looking healthier in a day or two as a result.
Good luck.

I think you are overcrowding. I am a noob as well and I am about to chop in a few days with my blackstar grow. I have noticed that everything below my canopy is popcorn bud. You are really only going to get tops so make sure you have a lot of them and push down any fan leaves that are in the way. I am also not sure if this is a good Idea but I have been told i should have cut all the branching on my lower budsites so that the energy could have gone to the more important sites. Just food for thought.

Thatsmessedup thank you for posting! yes "lollipopping" helps use the plants energy more efficient compared to letting her grow. You need to be very careful not to take too many leaves off at once and to only remove the lower leaves. I read up on it but I'm going slow this time. Last grow I learnt too many tricks and attempted them all at once which resulted to poor yield and hermies. I agree, its pretty bushy but on the plus size, its healthy. There's a lot I wish I knew my first time around but trial and error. I'm a bit high at the moment but yea, wish I had more room. I'm trying to figure out the best space optomization but still learning. If my cab was shorter in height and wider I would sea of green it. With a taller skinny model, I'm having a hard time figuring out the best option. Suggestions are always welcome. Sorry this is a wall of text but this device doesn't paragraph properly.
