Does she look o.k?

So, I started with three, two were male... so I'm left with one female White Widow.

She's in her second week of veg at the time the pics were taken. Except for being "stringy" because of serious light deprivation through most of veg, does she look OK? Take a close look at the larger fan leaves, they look darker than the others, and seem to be drooping. Let me know if you see anything wrong.

My friend told me to pluck off the larger fans leaves, but I know this isn't a good idea, but could I tie them back? Are there any threads or pics you could point me to, that illustrates this?

think about it like this: those large fan leaves aren't blocking light, they're just absorbing light energy. if you take off those fan leaves it will allow light to penetrate deep down, but at the cost of not having anything to gather energy up top. the further that light has to travel the less energy it has so you might as well just keep those leaves up there. look up LST. i think it might be a little late to do much good with low stress training for that particular plant. i think your best bet would be to maybe put a couple cfl's down there. that would be the cheapest. or you could get some high output t5 strips and run them vertically along side the plant. oh by the way toward the end of the plant's life cycle the large fan leaves tend to fall off due to the plant using the stored nutrients inside those leaves. looks healthy :)

It's normal for the older and bigger leaves to be a little darker green. Don't remove any leaves unless they are blocking the light of buds or future buds, and for some reason you can't tie, bend, or break them out of the way. The plant looks pretty good, except the leaf curl may be from over-watering. You want to let your pots dry out almost completely before each watering. I would get some blue spectrum cfl's and put them in during vegging to help get rid of the sparse stringy look.

Thanks for the replies. Hmm, maybe I did over water, I'm not sure. Definitely a possibility. I normally water when the soil is dry 2 inches deep. I'll lighten up a bit and see what happens.

Right now she's under an 8 lamp T5HO which I got just before I started flowering. I guess I can try to set it up vertically. I plan to set up an LST grow following this one.

Where's a good place to get a couple CFL's on the east coast?..everything I see at Wal-Mart and the hardware store are those GE Energy Saver, which don't tell me light temp and are VERY low in lumens.

How old is your plant.

Mine is about 2 1/2 weeks old and way smaller than yours.

Did you mean its 2 weeks in to flowering?

::Smacks Forehead:: Yeah, I meant 2 weeks into flowering, sorry.
