Just got back from working away to find my timer has stopped working! It's digital and says the lights haven't been on for 4 days now. I'm half way through flower but it doesn't seem to have troubled the plant. Has anyone else had the same? Did it cause any problems if so? Should I add the 4...

But then I lose the 4 heads?

Phew! Still concerned why the 2 lowest nodes/tops are much smaller than those 2 above. Your thoughts?

I followed Uncle Ben's topping method by topping above what I believed to be the 2nd true node but 2 of the 4 heads are much smaller/less developed than the others. Will the sides catch up or did I top it wrong? :/

I bought a Lighthouse Max Growtent 0.5x1x1.8m as I've got limited space. The manufacturer suggest a 250w light but I wasn't that impressed with my first grow compared to 600w in an old setup of 1x1x2 both 1 plant grows although I get the latter was double the power. Would a 400w light be...

Critical Kush! (sorry for the late reply) So far so good. Will post a pic when done.

Forgive me as I asked this question elsewhere but it should have gone here! 21 days into flower tomorrow. Didn't prune just before switching to 12/12. Have a look at the pic - Do you think it'll be worth pruning tomorrow with it being the end of stretch or does it look tidy enough to leave as is?

Putting it down to the 250w HPS in that case as I'm used to 600w even if spread across 4 plants not 1. Roll on the next one...

Thanks all!

I didn't say to top the heads! Nugbuckets gets rid of everything below and just leaves the tops. It's a scary thought doing that but I get the plant will use all its energy in producing from the top bud sites then. I just wondered if after 21 days instead of doing it on the turn of flower would...

Mainlined Critical Kush 21 days into flower up close - The flash makes it look yellow in places but it's healthy and doing well. Nugbucket's in his Main-Lining Tutorial prunes just before flowering. My question was will it be OK to tidy it at 21 days and get rid of everything apart from the...

I watched a tutorial on mainlining last week and they pruned the plant just before flower and got rid of all but the tops. That's why I'm asking will it be OK to do this 21 days into flower like I would a normal/unmainlined plant?

Sorry! I'm talking about C.

No it's already been mainlined when in veg. I'm 21 days into flower tomorrow. I didn't prune when I switched to flower. Should I do it tomorrow like I would normally a plant that hasn't been mainlined?

No! It doesn't drop below 23 even with lights off. Temps with light on increase a few. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought 22-28 was optimum?
