Well, that might be ok, but dont cut any more off, let them die off naturaly.
Maybe get some CFL's for the lower parts of the plant. It will make the cola's alot bigger... You'll get a stem full of bud instead of just the tops...
The grams add up...
But no more cutting!
those plants are stretched, you can see the distance between the calyxes, and where the leaves were ... so, whats your point ?
we might of cut the very bottom shoots off ...but only on the 4th week
(as in 3weeks under glass 1 week in the nursery)this does'nt cause too much stress to the plant as long as she is well watered and lighted, and an extra top of your fav. plant feed!! two more weeks in the nursery(10in - 15in) then off to the grow room for 6 weeks where you find you have a 6 inch gap at the base of the plant once the plant matures. that will aid with air flow around the plant, especially if you have several well placed small (9in-12in) electric fans at floor level. fair rips down there!! and that keeps the plants cool and at ease.........so i'm told

what size pots are they in? rootbound plants will eventually lose all the bottom foliage. also a 6ft plant is WAY to big for indoors. you are wasting alot of time/space growing a plant that big indoors unless you have some serious lighting, which i don't think is the case seeing how big the internodal spacing is. you will only have decent bud on the top 1/3 of the plant at most, the rest will be pretty much a waste of space. it might just be that the plants are way too big for the light and are shedding the bottom foiliage because of lack of light. the plants might think that there is no need for alot of fan leaves to absorb light for photosynthesis if the light isn't available to absorb, just a thought. i have no experience with problems associated with plants growing too large indoors as i have never let indoor plants get even close to 6ft tall. i grew scrog style and only cut very few fan leaves and only ones above the screen that were shading budsites, i never cut anything below the screen. fan leaves are like gas tanks as well as foodmakers. they store energy as well as make it, thats why you shouldn't cut off any more leaves than is absolutely necessary. hope this helps.
well here is some middle buds neways......:rasta:
nice weedmanguy them buds are looking nice and should get alot bigger
i bet ya cant wait till that day comes when ya will smoke then lol
cheers all
what i would do is when your ready, cut 2/3 of it and dry it the other 1/3 I would reveg and figure out why I would even want a 6 foot monster in my house...lol Or 6 foot is cool if your growing like ferns underneith on the floor...lol..peace
Anyway's...The lower leaves dieing and falling off is normal.
It could be from lack of light, because even a 1000 watt light is only meant for a 3 foot deep canopy. So get as any Compact Flouro's as possible and put them facing up toward the lower branches. And start flowering your plants at about 12-18 inches. 18 for indica and 12 for sativa. One reason those leaves are dying is because of the AK-47 in it.Sativa dominant strain. For example I have one big sativa that is SCROGed. And most the bottom leaves just dyed and fell off. So if it starts on the new growth then you got a problem.OK.Anymore questions ,let me know.
Lets see the tops!:thumbsup:
