Im dealing with the same thing right now. All my lower nodes are ground level. I can barely get to them to even trim. Ive been debating on how and when to do it.

[Xactmatch2012]

Are yours really compact??? And bushy??

[UrbZ]

Yeah 45 days old, like 8 tops. Only 12-14 inches tall.

I actually pulled my lst wires off so she stretched back up. I couldnt even see under the canopy to the main stem.

[Xactmatch2012]

Me too...... They are 41 days old and I just did the same pulled my LST hooks off ....do you have any def with your at all ..... Have only feed FF and cal mag 2x because of the ff of and trans'd her 3 × ..... But still having a bit of yellowing and rust spots

No no deficiencies right now but I use a big lineup of nutrients. Can you share a pic of your plant the whole thing in natural light. You could even kick your grow lights off and take a picture with flash. Have you been checking your runoff pH.

here's what mine looks like right now

Is this your first grow?

[Xactmatch2012]

Very first one

[UrbZ]

Oh yeah. we talked about the potassium deficiency / nute burn in your last thread.

[UrbZ]

When is your next water?

Personally I would address the nutrient issue first....then a little defoliation.
what is your medium and nutrient line up if I may ask?
and Oh Boy I’m sure we can all remember the stresses ( and through excitement) of our first Grow. Plus the learning curve is huge.

UrBz...... Thinking probably sat night ... Sunday

[Xactmatch2012]

Tika...... FF O F soill ... 50%-50% perlite..... Have only given them nutes 2× in the last 2weeks because of the transplanting. They are in their final 7 gal pots...... Temps have been 75 -77 day 70-72 night.....RH 40%-48% its cold her now with winter day temps have only been in the mid 30 and nights down to the teens.....been a struggle to keep temps and RH right. Really need this to be a success
I know your right really want to get the nutes issue solved
But as I read and search for answers all pics on this issue look the same to me ..... Can't make a choice on what to try and what to do first...... Don't want to hurt them anymore I've been losing sleep over this...lol

Morning XM2012, are you using LED lights ? If you are or even if you aren't, you need to be using cal-mag, FFOF is only good for 3-4 weeks, then you need to be feeding them nutrients or else they will begin to yellow. Just start feeding them ,your gonna do fine, good luck 2012,
