IS there anything else i should get for my babies that could help!???

Cmon guys... where is everyone

anyone????any more suggestions on nutes???

They look really good to me. Are you following the directions on the bottle? Fox farms has a really nice breakdown of how they reccomend how you nute your plants. You're growing some real monsters there, so I'd assume they could handle quite a bit of nutes without being burnt. They look really healthy; keep doing what you're doin imho. Looks like a jungle in there though, you done any trimming?

hey man thanks for the post!!!

THats the thing im scared about... i dont know what to trim... i was hoping somone could show me by circling what is ok to trim?? i trimmed most of the bottom growth... and fan leaves... but the top leaves i havnt... all i see is a shit ton of branches everywhere.. with mini fan leaves... which do i trim???

all i need to know is if i trim a few fan leaves off of each branch would that be fine? or is that a horrible is idea???

anyone? any suggestions on the trimming>?

yea they look right on track

I would leave all the fan leave and get rid of some of the lower branches so your babies can concentrate more on the big fat colas. Dont trim too much, nirtogen is abundant in the leaves and this can be used to fatten up the buds 3/4 into flowering!

From what I've seen/read, I'd suggest as passit said: trim off the shaded spots where you're going to have little popcorn buds, but leave the leaves. No reason to trim the leaves unless they're shading bud growth or preventing adequate air flow. That's my 2 cents, but I'm a noob
