I don't have the bulbs/sockets to do that. Right now I have one 45w 6500k, one 23w 6500k, and two 13w 2700ks in there for veg. When I get to flowering I will be buying three 23w 2700k and using my one 23w 6500k that I am already using.

So you have 4 sockets being used right now for vegging? You're using a 45w 6500 a 23w 6500 and two 13w 2700s?
This is how she looked when I first opened the case (notice the fan leaves at 11 and 5 o'clock) I had no idea where to tuck the big fans, so this is what she looks like with those two fans snipped off I hope the new growth near the main stem and from the internodes will flourish now that it isn't under the shade of the big fans.
You need to raise your screen, you ahve growth just coming striaght up and thats it. You need to begin by raising the screen, then slow pulling the main stem from one square to another as it grows.
[quote name='"DankHerbologist"']You need to raise your screen, you ahve growth just coming striaght up and thats it. You need to begin by raising the screen, then slow pulling the main stem from one square to another as it grows.[/quote] Elaborate on how to pull the main stem from square to square? Do I bend it back under or leave it on top but use twisty ties? What should I do with this? And I also notice a slight color change on the tips of her fans, what's up with that?
I just raised her screen and just the central growth is coming through. Does this look correct? Should I keep the two big fans underneath? And what should I do with all these little buggers when they reach the screen?
When it's a couple inches above the square, pull it back under gently and up to the next farthest square. I haven't had to twist tie any of them they just stay there
[quote name='"DankHerbologist"']Go ahead and pull it under to the next square so it can start growing horizontal[/quote] I really appreciate your advice, breh. You're saying I should bend her from the center square she's in now down into the next square? or would it be wise to pull her back underneath entirely and start growing laterally? And what should I do as far as those two large fans? Would I be alright to snip them off? Also, I hope the tiny bit of discoloration on the leaves isn't anything to be too worried about :/

The fans can just hang out under neath, only start snipping leaves when the foliage under the screen is getting too thick. I wouldn't worry about the leaves right now IMO
Sorry to fall behind on updates. Today is the 28th day since she first emerged from the soil Since my last update, I've removed the screen (it wasn't working as well as I'd anticipated) and am just tying her down to the sides of the pot. I also switched her to 12/12 light cycle following 28 hours of darkness, so hopefully she shows her sex soon and the buds start! Apparently it won't let me attach the picture, but I will put it up as soon as it lets me
Since the last update I removed the screen and I switched her to 12/12 5 days ago. Would I be alright to snip her bigger fan leaves? I feel like it's a waste of her energy to keep them alive, but I don't want to stress her when I snip them and cause a hermie. Picd still won't upload.
