hey all;
some of my leafs got burnt because of the lights (CFL) touching them. at first I thought it was ok but i read that "burned foliage is susceptible to pest and diseases attack".
should i cut the leafs to prevent this from happening?

No , dont cut them to suit your lights , get your bulbs right to suit your plants....

you can cut off the burnt part if you want. i wouldn't go chopping off hunks of healthy plant just to avoid a little leaf burn. if you tie down the tips and branches that are near the light you'd be better off. do you have a pic of the setup and the plant?

i can't get a clear picture but i have 1 top CFL of 135W, 1 CFL 135W perpendicular to the top one (for the buds underneath the main cola) the 2 other 135 W CFL for the sides (lower) 2 other CFL that are of 30 W each (each covering the lowest 2 buds) and 2 LED lights of 4W each for one more bud ... :)
i don't it's not very accurate but all the pictures are getting too dark because of all these lights :D

Turn the lights off and use the flash on your camera or phone .....

thanks, yeah I already had those uploaded from a previous post so I figured why not post them. It worked extremly well never had another burnt leaf again.

i dunno abt that honestly, not written on the bulbs but they're 125W actually not 135 as mentioned earlier. it's the equivalent of 625 W. is there anyway i can check it out so i can answer u?
btw thanks a lot for the reflector's tip :) will get on it right away

hahaha :D i actually didn't know what it was to be frank :) theyre bag seeds. i think they're hybrid tho (like mostly sativa and a bit of indica) because the lower fan leaves looks a lot like indica leafs. i hope it's a hybrid too because the maturation time of sativas is really long!! :)
