Bring them to 18" with the green one above the white one and see what happens
You do have the bloom switch on, on the green one right? Take it easy gramps!

Okay we'll try it that way. And yes, the bloom switch has been turned on for about 5 days now.
Its the light intensity that gets them not the heat.. trust me when i say this. My plants are doing this weird thing where they are yellow where my light is the most intense. I wish you could see my pics.. its odd. I think its making my buds not be as dense and frosty where the light is the brightest and the buds are around 18" away. But the light i have is pretty awesome lol.
As long as its not more then 85-90 degrees.. they should be able to handle those temps in veg if they have a good root system.

They are just starting into bloom for about four or five days, so maybe it is the light intensity that got them. Will adjust the lights as you say, monitor frequently. Thanks, IT!
Yes it is important.. im getting a bigger tent in a couple weeks so when my next ladies get put into flower they will have more room. Its nice to be apart of a community and learn with each other!

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are doing well. We had a little bit of an issue this morning. Kelley was trying to remove the Dead Leaves, and actually broke the top of Emma. I cannot feel how bad the damage is, but I have a pic among the rest for you to see and evaluate. She is apparently bursting with a lot of pistils in quite a few locations. We took a close up of them as well as our regular top and side views of each girl.

Tell Kelley to tape it up, she may pull through like a champ.

Said she can't get her fingers in there to tape it with all that growth. Not to mention her arthritis.
Hope its more like a super cropping. Could turn out well.

She still doing ok?

I figured the best way to answer was to show you. This picture was just taken about 10 minutes ago. I'm told that she doesn't look much worse for wear except the fact the break is causing the top to droop for lack of a better term.
I have read a little about super cropping, but I frankly didn't understand what I read. Is there a simplified way to explain it?

Supercropping is where you weaken the inside of the branch by pinching it and pulling it over without breaking the outside wall of the branch.. hard to tell from the pic but to me it looks like the top is a goner but i cant tell how well the branch is still intact. If the stalk isnt broken in half but just bent over the top should pull through.
As long as water can flow through the damaged portion she should make it. If its a complete break probably not.

Thanks for the explanation, IT and PW. I'll have Kelly check in see how extensive the damage actually is when she gets back home. What is the purpose and advantage of doing that?
One it helps if plants get too big, you can lay a branch over. Second the plant will repair itself and create a large knuckle or knot where it was bent over and that will increase water and nute flow.
