Hey guys these r my girls,i switched them to flower on the 12/4/12 so they are 5 days in now.
How they looking to u guys?
Im a bit concerned about not enough light getting to the bottom due to lack of space,is there anything I can do?
Or will they be ok?

You can lollipop, or you can tuck the fan leaves under the bud sites that aren't getting any light so that they get exposed to more light.

I'm pretty sure you just trim everything that you think will do nothing but produce popcorn buds up to a certain point, but you should really ask a SOG guy or do some reading on it lol, I've never really done it before. They look great from what I can tell, really nice, thick canopy

I found this, not sure how helpful it is to you tho man, Its a copy/paste I was just reading lol


... its right when you cut the lower branches off... there a a couple of reasons of doing this...

- instead of the plant working on the lower bud production on parts (bottom)the light barley reaches anyways, the plant can focus on the main and central bud formation and packing some heat in some instances

#2 - Healthier envirement to prevent mold/fungus/and spider mites... put a fan under the "open" area now, and will drastically help prevent mold...

#3 -- dont the plant branching out as much
