Need advice right quick

[XSWIDOW]

Hi lads,
4 weeks into flowering, running 1000w rig and need to get more light into the ladies. Do I trim the excess vegetation or leave as is? See pics. (All 3 plants LST'd and topped twice. Good nute regime, temps etc.

NO head pilot advice thanks, seasoned vets advice welcome.

My thanks in advance Widow.

I would not trim it mate, I had the same problem onece NAND I trimmed excess leave and for some reason it stopped buddin and grew new vegatation. That is just my opinion but it's just my experience and may not appen to you.

Great healthy looking plants you have there Widow! Have you thought about tying them open a little. I dont know if your room is full or how much space you are working with but if you tie strings around the bottom of some of the buds and gently pull away from the plant, it will open it up and let some light penetrate. The downside to doing that is your plant pretty much becomes stationary and you have string everywhere but its very little stress to the plant as long as you dont get carried away pulling. I prefer to do that over trimming leaves. Good luck and great looking grow!

i'm on the same time, with the same problem. my people say to let'm ride. let the light focus on what its been working on. no need to introduce anything new.

I agree with pushit I have a buddy with the same problem with some valley og he opened up a lil bit and it gave him alot more yield

Lookin good there,I've been growin cheese for 4-5 years now.
Tried different ways bubblers soil now on coco an it's goood shit.
Your plants look good,you've took all your little stragglers of the bottom,good space,I all ways take big leaves off that are blocking light,big fan leaves can be removed with no probs.
When I trim my bottom branches I get right into the plant and trim all the little branches growing up the middle,you all ways get little stragglers growin up the middle of plant(shitty little buds at the end waste of).
As soon as mine go on flower I trim an shape so that I have my legs all coming up with just fat cones on no shitty little stragglers, get some light in there trim your canopy.:thumbsup:
What you growin by the way ?

Hey Crossy, thanks fer the response.

I have a question. I increased the final pot size from 10 ltrs first grow, to 20ltr pots for this grow. Now, all the plants have been topped three times, have 18+ collas per plant, but they are taking an age to finish. First grow, flower time was approx 8 weeks, this grow is more like 10. Is this normal with large pot capacity, and multiple topping?

Still relatively inexperienced so if you can answer this I would appreciate it. Oh yeah, they are White Widow / Big Bud crosses.

Peace. Widow.
