I think that because I've seen some really full tricombs. This is all flouro grow so I'm thinking my buds might not be really tight, just guessing.

I have a white powder collecting on the fans, I'll try and get a picture of that, hard to see in the camera.

And I'm cutting off fans little by little.

A lot of stuff down low that I could remove also...

How bad is the powder problem? Doesn't seem to be on the flowers, just the fans...

Any thoughts/advice?

Thanks
the problem is that, leaves should have been removed before flower like cgi said. now you are only slowing the the flower process down by trimming. light can fool you so check your plants in different forms of light. for example mildew and mites can go unnoticed under hps to the naked eye. all of a sudden your knee deep in problems. of course my eyes arent what they used to be:stoned: fans can reduce humidity but also spreads spores vigorously. balance is key for that situation, dont use any mildewcides or chemicals at this point. further yes you can expect thinner buds based on flouro lights. stop pruning, stay the course and harvest as soon as feasible.
