    • Hey Everyone!

      I'm just checking with you guys & gals to find out your general opinion on my lighting situation. This is my first post, but I've been reading on this site for about year, so I have an idea on what I'm doing. BUT

      .....you guys are the masters and I'm just a newbie. So, here we go with a little info to get everyone caught up to my grow.

      FIRST GROW EVER (1 year research)

      2 (of 5) Nirvana Bubbleicious Fem. (First buy, discreet, fast delivery, 100% germ & fems)

      -Day 13 of 12/12 (was 18/6)
      -Paper towel and plate germed, planted in the current pots
      -3 gal. pots filled with Coco ONLY
      -(
      icon_cool.gif
      42w (200w equiv.) CFL (6-6500K, 2-2700K) 2700-2800 lumens each
      -Hand watered, WELL water
      -Digital PH Tester

      Nutes: Fox Farms Trio, also Aquashield & H2O2 rotated, SM-90 (in case of bugs, seen 1 ever, sprayed once 5 wks ago)
      Room Temp: Constant 74
      Humidity: Average to low, 2 portable dehumidifiers (1 on and set to below average up till now)
      I will put both dehumidifiers on full bore (large room) in 10 more days.

      You'll notice in the pics:

      -One is a foot taller than the other

      : Day 14, after 4 true leaves, the lights over the "tall girl" stayed off for 28 hours. Wholly stretch!
      I did have to take them out of the 5' grow tent right before I went 12/12. More later on this...

      -The canoeing. About 15 fan leaves on The tall girl and 10 on the Bush. I already uped the humidity to make sure I don't have a moisture problem. I'm going to give a small dose of CalMag a whirl, since I have well water(1 household filter and a PUR faucet filter). And, I'll flush if needed.

      Now... Here's the question.

      In the pics you'll see that the 4 sets, of 2 lights are basically on the sides of the plants.

      Would it benefit me to make sure that there is a light "overhead" of both plants to avoid more growth, and to provide for more light to the colas?
      And, could it be a possible cure (more light) for canoeing?
      You can let me know anything I might change as well...
      I appreciate any responses, and thanks for reading!

You can modify the direction of growth in the veg stage by super cropping. There is a recommended 2 week recovery though. It looks like you are already in flowering so I would not recommend this. My opinion would be to put the lights on the side. There will be more light for the whole plant and in the end more buds. If you want to concentrate on the colas then move the light towards the top but still on the sides.
 
I would also make sure you rotate your plants. Looks like your lights are different heights, which is fine, but I would just rotate so your plants are getting even light.
