Notice how the tallest tops are right under the light?

I would place the tallest on the ends, and work your way inward so the smallest are right under the lights. You will create a bowl shaped light arena.

This keeps the tallest plants from casting shade upon the smaller ones.

What a great job you have done on the nutes...they are so darn green and so very healthy...

What have you been using and how much and how often?

What is your plan on the nute schedule from here out? Now is the time you need to start planning your specific strategy for the final four weeks of flower.

Just super good grow my man.....

Thanks, HD...
I guess my issue is that my main plant, Ginger Lynn, is in a 5 gallon pot in the middle. She has by far the most secondaries/bud sites, so I gave her prime location.
I have a slanted ceiling and bent the reflector to match the slope, then used pipe cleaners to "lean" the main kolas of the other plants toward the center of the light.

I need to take all the girls out and stop fighting them.

Great suggestion; sometimes you just need to hear/read something.

Nutes? Well, they got tons of bat guano through veg. Then I started on a very diluted (1/4 recommended) Schultz Cactus Juice which is 1-7-6 a couple of days into flower. Now it's 1/2 strength Cactus Juice every other watering (they get 2 liters every other day, so they get 1/2 strength nutes every 4 days). I've read that Schultz Cactus Juice is recommended at full strength once a week. At the first sign of burn, I'll cut them back, but they seem to be thriving and using it all.

Superthrive in every watering---PH 6.8 water. I mist them like crazy...well, a light mist twice a day, but never within 3 hours of sleep.

Lastly, I've kept one plant as a crash test dummy. She gets double nutes, but is in the worst light position. She'll show signs of a problem before my good girls do. I tried to OD her on guano, but she was fine. Now, I've given her mad helpings of Cactus Juice and she's still okay.

Off to think about my light situation...thanks, again!

Hmmm...rearrangement #1...

Why is it that you just never seem to have enough light?

Because you never do!

I been asking god to give me a small sun that generates no heat that I can put in my closet to grow plants.

That looks so much better. Every time you stick your head in that grow room, leaf by leaf, plant by plant, make sure the fans arent blocking any flowers. One by one.

That looks so much better. But dont be afraid to rotate them every fricking day.....I turn mine every day into a new position but I keep true to the fundamentals of low plant center and taller on sides.

What you lose from the tallest, you more than gain in the extras the new canopy shape will encourage

Thuglette....

Your light system, though older, still has grown some nice plants.

You simply need to have a high powered exhaust fan at the top near the unit. You need a vortex fan.

One fan blows on the bulb directly, the exhaust fan then takes the heat out.

Just a quick Flower Day 27 update...

Approx. 29 days to harvest. Today was just an auto-pilot kind of day; misted twice, turned them a little, but nothing else.

When are you planning to stop her nutes?

Just curious.

Your call from here...you been a great daddy...except poor Hardonna...may she RIP.
