Totally newb'd it overnight. On of my make shift light fixture for my cfl bulbs fell about a millimeter and swung forward onto my smallest. In the above pictures she's the one all the way to the left. I think it happened not too long ago but either wy the main cola got burned. I ended up cutting the tip of the main cola which was 4 buds out of a cluster of 10. For some reason that particular plant wasn't making one tip but instead 4 tips. The very middle had a very weird looking solid pick mutated looking flower that was underdeveloped and I guess the side buds grew up to take its place. It looked pretty fat because they were clustered but it was 4 individual short arms branching off the main. Anyway I snipped them, did my best to manicure and now I have 4 separate little buds hanging in a dry box I made last night thanks to @Fuggzy . The wet weight of the buds after manicuring and destemming was 23g so I'm guessing I'll get 5-5.5g dry.
At first I was devastated because the earliest I wanted to cut anything was March 1st, but I am taking this as a learning experience. After manicure I see that the buds definitely aren't where I want them yet in terms of density so I'm going to let them go another 2-3 weeks I'd say. Plus I am out of herb, so now I'll have 5 grams or so to keep me occupied haha. I do think those 5 grams could have possibly been 8-10 if left for 2-3 more weeks judging by how fast the plants have been swelling, but I have 5 more lsd seeds coming so I'll make up for it next time.
This same light fixture has not\w burned my girls twice from malfunction. The first time was early on and on a side branch so that branch just to topped and now has two legit colas on it. However, being that this second time my main cola got attacked I am in the market for a new light. My space is 2.5'x3.5'x8' I have a lot of vertical space. I was thinking of investing in a 400w or 600w MH/HPS. Is 600w overkill? They are only about a $30.00 price difference so if 600w is better I would definitely go with that. Suggestions? Also any brand suggestion would be nice. There are some well rated setups on amazon but every 4.5 star rated product has at least a few terrible reviews that make me scare to buy them and the ballast go out in a few months.
