Grand Daddy Purple CFL Mircrogrow

Thanks. I put in a lot of work to even the canopy every day. Hopefully tomorrow I'll post a pic of the plant outside the tent to fully appreciate how she's goin
 
its time for an update, plant is growing a lot but I'm beginning to worry about the smallest and lower bud sites, this is my first indoor so I'm not sure if using CFLs the light won't reach them and the plant will waste energy on popcorn bud? or what do you think?
this is a video of one of the main branches, i went slow from top to bottom so it shows the difference between bud sites http://sendvid.com/qjuiz54l
also i got a few pics:
first the whole plant

I was actually told today by my grow shop dude when I showed him some of my pics that I need to defoliate more...I looked at him and said .....WHAT.....he laughed and said I can tell your a cutter but all those sugar leaves should be cut even with bud mass.I said really but all the sugar....he said if there are no sugar leaves then the only place to grow the sugar is on the bud....I said huh....he whipped out his phone on me and showed me his current grow.....and man o man his buds were so trimmed up that when he harvests he will have no trimming to do at all they were that cleaned up. His colas were ginormus.The tricomes were so thick you could barely see the color of the bud. I have never seen such a thing....ever.....so.....do with that info as you see fit.

I myself on next grow will be edward scissor hands my ass off......
 
Is that swelling due to supercroping them or did they grow like that after toping? I've only read about thickening of the stem after 'snaping" it and this just looks like a perfect result to hold them nugs up later on!
 
So wait,he actually striped the colas from all the sugar leaves? you could create a guide for this if you cuold achieve something!!
 
Wow, that's a new one! Does anyone trim sugar leaves during flowering? Would be nice to have more frosty buds!
 
Kinda of tags on to Nebula's theory on that.. and it's a very good one indeed! It makes sense to me.. if a plant can produce up to a certain number of trichomes, may as well load them up on a smaller surface area! Very awesome information lol
 
Man hard to say....if you cut all the leaves off the lower bud sites will become little nuggets due to light getting in

If you leave the fan leaves then the lower under bud will be nuttin
You can lollipop her as well....decisions suck assI know
 
:( I dont know what to do. I plug like one leaf a day. The lowest and ugliest one. And I lollipopped before switch to flower. I want someone that has done cfl grows could tell me how big the canopy should be and how low should I lollipop again if that's what I need to do. I don't feel the light is getting to them
