Hi All. Can someone please have a look at the health of my AK47? As you can see from pics, lower leaves are small and drooping. Have already topped and pruned. Wattage is around 500. Distance from plant about 20in. Humidity around 50 percent. On a 16/8 light cycle. thnx

Your plant is heat stressed. The leaf edges of the upper leaves are curling or rolling in. The red coloring of the stems is also an indication of this, but it can also be genetically determined. The light green coloring could also indicate too high light intensity. Personally, I would increase the distance of the lamp to the plant to about 50cm. 500W is already quite a power. Additionally, if possible, increase the exhaust in this area and ensure better air circulation. If possible, I would raise the humidity to 60%+. 50% is also okay. I definitely wouldn't remove any leaves. That stresses the lady a lot, disrupts, and limits photosynthesis. Only the two lowest, thin branches can go; nothing will come from them.

16/8...is that 16hrs of light or dark?...excuse my ignorance. What is your ambient temperature? I would say the plant is cutting nutrient supply to the lower branches because they are not receiving the same light as the top. You can fix this somewhat by angling your light. Another more effective way is to LST, SOG or ScroG to spread the canopy out so you have no branches without light. Other than that other than a little lanky it look healthy imo. May need staking when in flower. I hope that helps. Sticky Buds!
