bend your plants 90 degrees, and tie them down. then lower the light to 18 inches. put a fan on med.

i think your light needs to be closer to your plants bending them is a good idea

upgraded wardrobe

[Blayzd]

I removed the middle of the wardrobe piece and wired the cords thru a hole in the bottom, added a temp and humidity thermometer, and have both fans blowing out because temps are at a high 33 for canopy and 29 for plant level temp & thats with the door open..... added a bit more mylar but since its getting so warm still have the door open during the day. heres the pics

Hey Blayzd, well I just read through your thread here are some things that I would do if I were in your position.

1) Like the others have said, the light needs to be closer. I would suggest that you start around 1 1/2 to almost 2 feet away and slowly move it closer until you think that your plants cant handle it anymore. Its always important to monitor the space between your light and your plant because during flowering a plant will grow quite a bit, but you are through the flowering stage so that shouldnt be a problem. Also its really important to have air circulation between your canopy and your light.

2) Earlier in the thread you mentioned starting your plants on nutes. Not sure you have and by the looks of it I would say no. Its possible that your plant has just absorbed most of the nutes that were in the soil but at any rate you should start your plants on a potassium and phosphorus, but like anything else you should ease your plant into it start at a 1/4 or 1/2 solution and you should start seeing some good results pretty soon.


Anyway Blayzd, I hope this helps you and I'll be following your thread to check your progress.

put the backside of your hand under the light, start about 2 feet from the bulb and move your hand closer until it feels very warm, now back off about 5inches and place your plants that close.

with this method im able to keep my plant sometimes 8inches from the tops(good air extraction required) and they need more light.

id start over if it was me they look bad and wont give you what your expecting, id personally look into LST'ing with new plants you will be happier if you did.

dont take me the wrong way i had to do this myself once and was pissed but after 30days of proper veg my plants looked 10X what they did, trust me its worth it.

here when my plants were 30days veg'ed to give you an idea

if heat is the reason you are keeping the light so far away try putting a small squirrel cage fan in between the light and the plants to help disipate the heat or you could get a piece of window glass and place it close to the tops of your plants then putyour light above the glass get a fan blowing on the glass at high speed the glass will protect your plants from the wind and allow you to keep your light cooler and closer to your plants the piece of glass should fit snug in the top of your box

starting over might not be a bad idea i had to do it twice it sucks but maybe you could cut some clones from those to start your next grow ?

whatever you do good luck-Bomb
