I raised the light up as high as I could in there, it would be ideal if I could get it up to the very top, but I am losing at least 7 inches of headroom due to the filter being in the way. Anyhow, 2 days ago I tied the side branches down and I gave her a bit of Cytoplus to help her cope with the stress a bit, then moved her to the side wall and today I am already seeing some nice new green growth on those top leaves and bud sites. Once the she hardens off a bit more I will try moving her closer to the light and see how see handles it. I just can't bring myself to dim the light down
I am looking forward to a much needed upgrade, although that will have to wait until the next run. I am going to ride this one out and tweak things around a bit., probably add another fan over the canopy.
I used to be that way. One thing I have learned is that when ripening I actually get better yields and better quality by dimming the lighting incrementally during the last 2 - 3 weeks. I also reduce temperatures, CO2 levels incrementally with the lighting. This prevents foxtailing and fluffy buds, increases density and yields and terpene content.
