Put some reflectors on your lights a split open soda can or just some heavy duty aluminum foil would help.
Oops my bad already said that. I see you have new sockets.
And I defoliated on day 21 with great results.

an hour before i did my plant cropping i gave them a tap water flush and feed (de chlorined and airated), however i made a mistake and put 3ml of ph down and 2 ml of 5-5-5 in a 2L jug for the last part of the flush(per plant). i should have used those numbers in a 5L container =(. i caused lockout and 1 or 2 leaves started showing cal/zinc type deficiencies, yesterday i flushed again as they had dried enough for another water, but this time i used only 2ml of phdown and 1.5 ml of 5-5-5 to a 5L container. the reason im using so much PH down is for the phos. ive never seen my soil dip below 6.5 and it always bounces to 7 and stays there, so i havnt been too frightened of acid burn before (didnt think about short term splash damage directly on roots).
will post pics tommorow and see how they are. barely look affected (very minor damage, gotta love fast drying soils for quicker watering).
i now have blackstrap molasses and liquid seaweed on the way in the post =D
this is todays contemplation
yet another bloody fert/nute question (but 1 worth answering i hope)

read your other post, all organic thats the sh*t and would also say that worm castings is a great addition to the all natural grow. best soil you can have is loaded with fishin worms loaded in. like the guano too! onatural is the way my mom would have had it done and she could grow a watermelon on a rock lol. cant wait to see more pics

sorry i dissapeared, had to move to another area pretty fast for a new night job, brought my 2 ladies with me to bershire but they only have 2 lights on them at the moment =/
will try to get some pics on the go. they look like the real deal now, most of the hairs are going orange, but i accidently snapped off a bud when moving them, so i smoked it....looks nice, tastes bad(hasnt been starved of nutes yet) and does not feel very strong at all =/
hoping they will mature into a better strength.

LoL. yes i think so, nothing so dramatic this time thankfully. was a classic up to the inlaws for school holidays, but found a decent job that started a few days earlier thn the planned journey....so the plan went out of the window and i had to grab what i could and haul ass
The annoying part is that i got the job, did my first shift and was then informed it wasnt a 2 week job at all and never was...should have known better, its agency work and they will say anything to get the position fllled. still it was fun £12 per hour night work. all i had to do was hold 1 ton bags on the forks of my counterbalance while they were filled with concrete dust and drive them outside and stack them nice
God i hope your right! they look beautiful, i just hope the potency builds up...its still early i guess so even tho the hairs are mostly orange, the resin may still be clear, no way to check where i am =/

had a hectic time of it since my last post so been difficult to track my own progress.
Found out that these cheap ass emergency blankets (2 for £1) make fantastic reflectors/light reducer/transparent wall. its not so much for stealth as it is for discretion and maintaining the enviroment whilst still being able to see inside.

some point round now i added a bunch of bonemeal to the soil. will be working more on nutrients in my next grow.
improved the design of my light shield. moved it up enough to make a bit of a z shaped light trap at the top, then added foil to the bottom to create sufficient pressure to create a correct updraft. top fan is now disabled and have to smaller fans at the bottom blowing upwards to aid thermal convection.
this last pic shows the trasparency ability quite well. these sheets are plastic not metal and i thnk with care they can be ironed flat.

in a way gig I like the pleats. the stuff I use in my box is called fxk dont ask what that means, but it is a vapor barrier for insulation. its foil faced on one side and brown paper on the other, like a bag! it has a cross hatched patteren and I got it from a job site for free but what you got looks MOD kinda cool if you dont know what mod means lol. but the pleats you have seems to me to be a plus as it would reflect the light in a bouncsing patteren like stereo. just what I think tho. and you r ladies are looking sweet bro
