New Grower First Autogrow journal...could use some advise as well.

Are you going to use it as an extra light in addition to the led?
 
The LED is in the tent with two plants (still crowded), then one plant upstairs with the big cfl. I have grown crops with that cfl before, it's no joke, but it cant compare to a 1,000 watt led. I also have other cfl lights around it that are for my seedlings but are benefiting the lower bud nodes of this plant.

My larger concern is shocking it and making it hermie on me and I dont want to compromise the yield too much.
 
I dont think I would switch them up. Try to get as much light with what you have.
 
Hey m8 on your pics in not sure if your using your phone to take them but if your are.

Send the pics to yourself and it will turn them upright I had the same problem with mine turning sideways till I said fuk it and sent them all to my wife and then saved them from the message and uploaded those pics to realize it turned them upright because the text will crop the pic to the proper size!:thumbsup:

You can also just screenshot your pics. It's a bit easier.
 
@Yeatster - The tent is really crowded with all three plants, I have defoliated a little and do as much leaf tucking as I can, but the canopy is full. You can see in the photos that the buds are being squished against the walls of the tents. I also put a photo of just two plants to show the difference. I could make it work better if I can defoliate a little more, but I don't want to distress the plant or negate the important function of these leaves providing water and nutes to the plant. In your opinion, by seeing the photo, would it be all right to defoliate more (form the colas better) without hurting the buds? I will obviously keep all fan leaves, but there are too many buds trying to form that are being covered up. I just need advice on just how much defoliation I can do.
I'M SORRY THE PHOTOS ARE SIDEWAYS,They are not sideways when I upload them (I tried the email method) I AM WORKING ON IT!

**I added a photo of the Blue Dream (while under cfl briefly), it was my intention to top it, but I accidentally fimmed it. It has 4 main colas and 8 lower colas, lst'd very well - and in the tent it just merges with the others, fighting for light and I worry about my yield :(
Any suggestions @FullDuplex, @Slater,@Dudeski @Headbudz77

That's a crowded tent, for sure. But, I've seen worse. I would keep all 3 in there, if better light isn't an option.

You say you will defoliate, then say you will keep all fan leaves. What do you plan on defoliating?
