Please do...looking great

Oooo! I seen what looks like Bubba written on the cups. I'm assuming Bubba Kush?

Maybe bubblegum?

I prefer the latter but great strains either way. I just love the coffee undertones in some of the bubba I've smoked.

Looking great. I like it when I get my plants to this stage. That means I got them past he point where I normally screw them up. they sure look happy.

 

[South Sierra Dude]

Hey Nugs. It's two Bubblegummer and three Pineapple Express.

Started 12-12 photo-period yesterday and removed the large fan leaves.

Your plants look like they're filling your tent, which is great because it means you're using all that light! I think you'll be pleased with the results you get from the 1000W in the flowering stage!

 

[South Sierra Dude]

Thanks! Do you think i should go 100% on the balast? My temperature is leaning towards cool.
edit: temps perfect at 75% light distance 24 to 31 inches

 

[Green75]

Long ago bro...

 

[NebulaHaze]

If you put it up at 100% and the temperature is still good, go for it!

 

[Charlie]

Good looking ladies, thanks for the pictures.

Hi South
Nice looking! I bet you get a good crop!

 

[Royal Nugs]

Crank that ballast to 100%!

I can smell the pineapple and bubblegum already...

 

[South Sierra Dude]

More power! Will report back.

 

[South Sierra Dude]

Suckers; to cut or keep that is the question. Plants have 8 colas without them.

 

[Green75]

My answer...cut her....cut her good

Let the light shine in.....oh Lord..let the light shine in....

From my understanding defoliation can be useful..

 

[South Sierra Dude]

Considering doing it next week; along with the larger fan leaves.
