PS do u cut your plants back? you know the new leaves that come from the stem, or do u just let em grow?[/quote]
i take bottom shade leafs off the larger one,s and prune my plant in vegatation so i can get best possible light down though and you find if you take from some where it will grow some where else thats how you get new stems and leafs appearing but remeber to do all pruning and cutting back in veg stage as in flower stage you will develop new flowers down low if you remove leafs and stems and plant puts all its energy into these new stems so your main buds arent getting what they need=)hope this helps

once again greenthumb very nice pics. I like the 2nd pic from the left https://www.rollitup.org/attachments/grow-journals/14407d1181649773-white-widow-we-start-journal-s4020880.jpg very nice plant indeed, i like that one ;)

you take bottom shade leaves off the larger ones? i dont quite get what u mean, as my brain is refusing me to understand LOL
I understand about doing pruning/cutting back in veg state, alot of plant work on this principle too (as i worked in a garden center about 10yr ago). But some plants can handle a good pruning but some cant, so was wondering how it would handle a good pruning.
what nutes u using greenthumb? today was along day for me. I tried 7diff electric shops today for a 6200 CFL. Not one bloody shop had them, half didnt even know what a bloody cfl was, never mind 2700k or 6200k LOL Also fertilizer, i didnt get a chance to goto homebase/b&q. So i ended in tescos and got miracle gro's All purpose concentrated liquid plantfood, with an NPK of 6-5-5 with various trace.

PS POST WAS BIGGER THAN THIS AS I THOUGHT THIS WAS MY JOURNAL LOL SO HAD TO DELETE IT, NOT MY POST ;)

Awesome. Looking really good greenthumb, youve done a nice job there buddie. Its amazing how quickly they grow, im mean u see the difference on urs already. 10/10

Do u have any secrets/tips that you learnt while growing your WW??

I had to cut a few 3fingered leaves off today as they yellowed. Looking down at the plants they look great, its just the bottom leaves. In the middle of experimenting to limit possibilties.

keep it up mate. ;)
Few small pix so u see what i mean.

there looking big for them pots? put you hand over soil with main stem between fingers and slide pot off if its heavly matted to the bottom repot it asap before it becomes pot bound and take them bottom fan leafs off thats what i did keep breaking them so the air can get in under the plant but just do one at a time every few days so plant isnt shocked to muched and thinks its dead you see the plant will put the energy to the top more and new growth will begin this is the way i did it it is up to you i like to have no leafs around the base as it doesnt get much light anyway so why waste the energy there hope this helps.
