As per the recommendation of a few people I trimmed up the lower portion fairly heavily. Did so in 2 sessions over 2 days and it drastically helped airflow as most of the space was taken up by leaves. In retrospect I probably should have waited a few days in between trimmings because there wasn't much change for a few days afterwards. I also tried to take a clone from one of the clippings but after 4 days it still hadn't shown any sign of rooting. While moving the 2 CFLs, one of them fell and broke at the top, I was using the bluer light temp CFL to try to veg the clone but after it didn't root I just moved it back into the main space to replace the one that broke. Buds are starting to smell, it's pretty unnoticeable unless you're close up.

I've been getting some of the burnt tips as a result of the watering with nutes. The nute mixture is already half the recommended dose. I've tested my runoff pH and its about 4 or 5 even though I've been pHing my water to be around 7 and no lower than 6. Anyone have any tips?

Feed Water Water (check the drain) Water/or/Feed (depending on the last drain). Youโ€™re feeding to often , nutrients start to crystalize and turn into NaCl (salt) creating an hypertonic condition in the media and pH start to drop, the plant has to reverse the flow of her fluids (water) to turn the media back into an isotonic condition but she wonโ€™t be able to balance the pH .... you must give a good flush asap before serious problems start to appear !

I currently have the secondary CFLs (2x65w) sort of below the canopy (see pictures) in an attempt to get more out of the shorter branches. Would I be better off moving them up towards the top or will the lower portion have some use for the light?

Well before i answer the Question, its no mistake to add some more light, if you can. Your Girls will be grateful and the Buds will develop better. So back to your answer. youve managed it to give her anice scrog. And personally me wont give some light under the canopy, If there are little flowers, pick them and let them dry.. always a nice "midtime" smoke. I would concentrate on the canopy flowers, and pick away the ones from the bottom. If they are quite near to the canopy, let them grow, they may grow much more. happy growing

Just spotted a fungus gnat๐Ÿ˜ก Get to dry the soil for a few days before I can do anything else with it

@le_epic_doge, yeah I'm with you on that i just wanted to throw it out there its a nice natural way. But yea deff. let the soil dry out an make sure your not over watering an easy way to ensure you are not is to feel the weight of the pot when it's dry and the the weight of it when it is wet. and once you feel those weights you will be able to tell if they need water just by lifting the pot๐Ÿ˜Ž simple yet effective I've been doing it for years now๐Ÿ‘

@Thee_HoffGuyy, I don't think its bad enough to make all that stuff. From what I've read as long as I dry out the topsoil they'll die out. If it gets worse I'll definitely try this but I don't want to have to

@le_epic_doge, make a cinnamon solution/tea or just put some cinnamon powder on the soil they hate the smell and it will help keep them from getting in there and laying eggs. To make a spray Take like 1/2gal water bring it to a boil once it has reached a boil, take it off and put into a container/bottle you can shake up with hot! water in it. add 2TBS of the cinnamon powder into the hot water or already have in your bottle before you pour the boiling hot water into it. shake well and let sit to cool after about 12hrs you will have a brownish colored tea that smells like cinnamon. now you just got to strain the tea and put into spray bottle then spray soil, plant, whole grow ten it will reek like cinnamon but i love it and it way better than neem oil Good luck Happy Growing!!

Very nice Pictures and a good idea with the scrog.... She looks healthy and well trimmed, but i fear you will need more light from above, ... it will make a big difference. I wont give her light from under the canopy, it may worry her( growing in light direction. I think the lower branches can make it to the canopy. and if they are to low...... cut them. Your Girls have anice shape. I would defoilate the 15 cm from the bottom and let the other branches like they are , to grow in direction to the light OR:::: you put your pot onto something, to lift the hole plant, so that more budsites aboce the scroc. Then tra to "web" the branches into the scrog (very soft) so that the plant is spread and the canopy is even. You can look @mad_scientist he does it in perfection

@Mrs_Larimar, I took one of the bigger ones from the bottom that was otherwise getting thrown out and found another space to put it so it will have some veg time. There weren't any flowers yet so it should hopefully grow at least semi normal.

@le_epic_doge,well just try it......normally you take the clones earlier, so that they habve more time to grow... but try it.....i have no big experience in cloning... just do it accidently, if i snap a branch^^

@Mrs_Larimar, I just finished trimming the bottom portion and now I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to take a clone, plant it, and just give it 12/12 in the same space as the mother

If your girl is pollinated, i would let them grow like she is.......no taking away of seeds. she will give you still a smokeable weed,. If you pull out the seeds the buds may damaged. you may have alot of seeds but who cares.... its happened and you may make a smiling face to the fact of a pollinated plant.

@Mrs_Larimar, I'm pretty bummed it hermied. I may order from a seedbank to get some good genetics if I go another round. At least if I do I'll know how to do things instead of just hoping I did them right.

Hey hope i was able to help! Also i forgot to mention make sure your pH pen is calibrated or if you are using drop or strips i would recommend investing in a pH pen because if your not at the right pH not only will the plant not like it but your kinda just wasting money on nutes that won't get absorbed you know? Happy Growing!! if you have any other questions don't be afraid to ask buddy๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘

You might lower the nutrients just a touch too. I found that kind very strong.

@CRiSPrGrow, You put the water in a little vial and add a few drops and it changes color to indicate the ph level.

Question 2: Does bud growth stop altogether after pollination or is there still hope that they'll grow a bit larger?

Question 3: I've been removing seeds from the buds with tweezers as I see them, will this have any effects, and if so, negative or positive?
