Hey Bro.... How would I go about getting light to the bottom of my plants the big leaves are blocking the sun..

Hey Bro,how you doin?...lol...I bet you already know the answer to this one...I have seen floors and the top of grow pots lined with mylar...even saw CDs used as covers for grow pots to reflect the light....Myself,I have made some telescoping stands for CFLs...I put these on the floor and extend them to the height I need...works really well for the smaller side buds...for me anyway...1 socket with a y,2 warm 23 watt cfls....I use a 400 watt hps in a small closet grow

Welcome to the site.

thanx manny,I have been lurking for a while....lol...feel like I already know some of you.

hey satman...ne idea bout leaves canoe-ing?
just trying to to get as much info as poss as 2 of my girlsare busy doing it!

do you mean the edges of the leaves are rolling up?...what kinda temp is your grow room?...are they close to your lights?....when did you water last? and how often do you water...

Thanks for the pm advice dude. seems th general concensus is heat strees. temp tops out at around 28-30cwhich, if my maths is right, is around82-86 and i now know it's a little warm. i water every 3-4 days but generally go o dryness of soil and weight of the pots.just checked the ph of the 2 in question and it was a little too acidic so ive adjusted that a little (cana ph up/down) so hopefully that'll help.
got a fan in the doorway and had it running 18/6 with the light but i'll change it to24/0 see if that helpstoo. all other plants (6) healthy as!!
thanks again bro.
will keep every1 posted!

leaves curl up when they get to hot, their way of transpiring heat better, and light penetration is hard to get when the fanleaves are dense, try tying them back or tucking them under lower budsites

cheers for the advice skatterman...will try that
