thefloweringman · #1 (**permalink**) 10-28-2008, 12:27 AM

i have 3 plants in flowering @ 5 wks. 1 is thriving and budding all over, the othr 2 were drooping/sagging (starved for a day i think,) but the newer growth seems to be trying to perk back up. the bottom half of these plants looked light starved, so looking at the others i decided to thin out some of the leaves in the middle to allow more light. Just the biggest ones though. with all the flowers even on the bottoms, i wanted more light at the bottoms. is the bottom half of these plants naturally going to die any way? Even with all those flowers there too.? Sorry guys and gals no pics at this time.

Resist the temptation to chop leaves they need them to draw energy from, tuck or tie them out of the way. Sometimes when the lights come on you can see the fan leaves if need be turn towards the lite,tells me they need them. When she starts to ripen it will draw everything out of the leaves changing there color of them. The lowest flowers will still ripen till the end.I used to b a wacker but u learn to find other ways of achieving this.
