NEED HELP PLEASE

[cycleguy]

I have about 5 plants that are in 2x3x4 foot box. I have 400w HPS and Mylar on the ways. I have used a net to try to keep the plants from getting any taller. The bottoms are dieing from lack of light. They are 6 weeks into bloom. They only have 3 weeks left. I have ordered a 125w red spectrum Fluorescent light to but in the middle or bottom. It wonâ??t be her for at least a week. The buds at the top look great to me but the bottom is bad. Will I be able to cut the tops in about 3 weeks or so and let the rest of it keep growing or is it an all or nothing deal? Also since I moved some things around there are very small buds towards the lower half. SPME BODY PLEASE HELP ME!!! I wonâ??t be able to post pics until night. :confused: :confused: :confused:

The bottom buds are always smaller than the top. You can cut the top buds first as they are mature and give the bottom buds extra time ...IF you don't have plants to grow for time being.

the bottom buds are small, and the bottom leaves start to turn yellow and die during flowering, dont worry about it

Thanks a lot. I was off in time they will be 10 weeks in flowering next week. I will cut if the large ones at the top and see how the other ones due. How long should I leave the smaller buds in the middle and the bottom to mature? The strain is White Willow.

You can keep on going 12/12 cycle until the lower buds mature. Make sure you keep as much leaves on your plants as possible.

I removed allot of the dead leaves it seemed to push a little more light through. I plan to place the 2 125w fluorescents 6-12 inches above the base of the plants on each side. Will that be too much? Are there any suggestions on the placement? They are just the bulbs with the bases that I will have to wire plugs to.
