Well really it's a 3cob bar with 2x 6500's and 1x 4000k.

But do ya think they look okay?

Very leafy, do you think I shud do a Defoliation? Looks like an ewok lol

Truthfully would u attack this bitch with the clippers?IMG20161018085948.jpg IMG20161018085959.jpg IMG20161018090005.jpg IMG20161018090009.jpg

And they look fukn droopy again, I'm feeding once a day as lights come on with about 10-20% runoff, on a drip system and a timer, pure coco in fabric pots.

Could I be overwatering, roots have filled the pot and going nuts on the outside of container growing thru the fabric

In my experience whenever a plant is drooping, it's a water issue; either too much or too little.
I don't grow in coco but .. yeah they look over watered to me.. drooping leaves!
Ty both I will try dialling back the feeding to once every 2 days and see if things pick back up. Growth still seems okay.

Little bit on the yellow side just upped from 550ppm to 650 ppm

Anyone suggest Defoliation on that leafy bitch?-:-) I think it needs it

Strip all fan leaves that do not belong to a top and the first two inches of growth on every branch starting at the stem and going out.

She will look naked for a few days and then she will blow up with new growth sites and fan leaves.

I prefer the term productive thinning rather than defoliation... I always keep a thin canopy for air flow..
I mostly remove what I call leaf jams.. just don't go crazy and defoliate your whole plant! Lol

have you been watering the Same up too this point?
Well not really , I was feeding once every 2days by hand and it got to intensive so I setup a drip system and set it up to feed them 2x a day 12 hours apart, and left them for about 2 weeks, she looked a bit droopy along the way but grew very fast, but now she just looks even droopier, so I have just dialled back the feed to once a day to see if looked any.better. So far no. So I might change to once ever 2 days

Some of the big fans on my white widow are like blocking the lower branches from growing past them it's like a brick wall above the branches and they sorta can't get thru it, shud those fans be removed?

3gal pots? Probably not enough water Imo I'd try 3 times a day. I do and I'm in 3 gal with 60/ 40;coco perlite. Mind you as per my signature idk shit and it's my first grow, but having said that I have a good mentor ;) mine dry up quite a bit. I rotate feed water feed water ect 3× 8hrs apart

Yea 3 gallon but in the process of starting this grow I didn't have enough coco to fill the last pot, so I half filled or 3/4 filled it and folded down the sides, that's the one with the biggest bitch in it
