Ok back from a weekend away and wow the growth has been amazing. All the plants are about 1.5 ft tall with lots of bud sites. I'm starting to wonder if I could safely remove some fan leaves without majorly hurting the plants? I made some changes to the grow box, i removed the bottom tub and have the top tub suspended above to adjust for height and allow me to space them out a little more they were very snug and over lapping with the base. I also put 2 desk lamps on the ground aiming up into the top to give the bottom bud sites more light. So far following the FF feeding schedule has worked perfect no nute burn or lock as far as I can tell. Any comments more than welcome.

Ok well made some changes to the grow room to give me some more height and that seems to have helped a lot. I did notice that on all the plants the top like 6 stems of fan leaves are red on top but green on bottom (pic 4) I was thinking it could be temp issues at night the box gets down to upper 60's and lower 70's. Other than that the plants are looking amazing starting to see lots of bud points and trichs forming. In order to combate the space issues I've just started tucking fan leaves and adjusting the stems to give the bud points the best light. cheers all :bigjoint:

Just finished with the watering.. Did a thorough search no balls which makes me :D . Had some browning on one leaf at the top but I think that was from the lights getting to close so I remedied that by raising the top a little. I also added 2 desk lamps in the bottom of the box. I used the 6500k lights because I saw some other cfl threads that mixed light colors during flowering and they had some nice results. I got a close up of top bud and it has some nice trich growth. Other than that things are back on track.

Ok so things went from being ok to horrible in a short amount of time.. I had to go out of town for a wedding I came back late last night and checked on them this morning it appears as the main exhaust fan died and the box has been hotter than Hell its self. They were being watered on a Bi-Daily basis, but my roommate didn't notice the fan not working. I'm overly concerned at this point that the plant is just going to die. These pics were taken just after watering I'm afraid to take it out of the box that it might be fragile and break. Any tips on what I could do to try and save it. The only leaves that are looking bad are fan leaves the bud sites all look amazing still. Any who keeping my fingers crossed and my vibe positive.
