I bend them and tied some fan leaves back. I am at 8.5 weeks. I have some big buds all at the top. I cut off the top buds and the fan leaves. Now itā??s getting great light. I also ordered and extra 125w florescent compact to put toward the middle or bottom. Will any of this have a bad effect on the plants? Another question is I pulled about a lb with stems and not dried yet. What is the ratio for weight once you dry and cure?
