So this is my 3rd grow and the first one to not be a complete fuck up (please be nice
).
I'm 5 weeks into flowering using a 500w CFL and a LED side light. I've used Happy Frog for soil in a 3 gallon pot and followed the FF feeding schedule to the letter. She may not be much to you pros, but I am proud as hell.
Anyway, I have read that it's better to remove a lot of the lower bud sites as they never amount to much and take energy away from the main colas. As you can see, I topped her with some LSTing to maximize my light penetration. Looking at these photos, should I remove some of the lower sites to allow the tops to really take off?

I'd also like to know what you experts think about my first real grow. How I am doing? Is she looking good for her age and light source?
Thanks
RF
