@Dudeski - This is a HUGE cfl, 200 watts, 6500k, and gives out 15,000 lumens. I have budded photo
period grows with this light with success. My concern is affecting the yield or worse yet, a hermie. I think I can defoliate more, give bud sites direct light and make the best of it. That decision is because I'm using the cfl to start more Blue Dream & Wild Thai (I'm trying to grow perpetually). I also just ordered seeds, Cheese xxl, White Widow xxl, and Narco somthing...just liked the name
I really appreciate your input, this is my first grow and I'm flying blind without AFN

Subbed, I've never had the issue of outgrowing the tent, so seems a luxury to me. looking amazing so far
You should only remove fans at this stage IMO, they're more likely to die off before the bud leaves and main function is to grow the stem into a taller plant as opposed to bigger buds. Also start at bottom and work up as the lower fans always die off first.

Also re shocking plants by using different light, is this possible? It's the first I've heard, I thought only light cycles could cause hermie, and mainly affects photo periods.
I've mixed up LED, CFL and Hid on all my grows and never seen nanas as a consequence. Though you should go from blue light at the start and end in the red. As that's what happens in nature.

Thank you @Sensi Jay
I have one of them that are 45-55 days, I assume I'll run it 60 days at least. Is it true that the buds do most of their swelling in the last two weeks? I'm concerned with how puny these bud sites are.

No worries sis, yeah last two weeks is swell, should be able to see that on most journals.
When it's close all the fans will yellow off, and the pistils will turn mainly orange/red.
Have you got a microscope to check the trichomes, that's needed sis. They go from clear (immature) to cloudy (high!) to Amber (stoned!).

@Sensi Jay - Yes, I have a microscope, it's apparent at this point the pistils are white, so there's a way to go. My goal is to at least get a dry oz off this plant, not looking too good, but I will await the swell! Thanks again for your input.
You'll easily hit an oz per plant if you don't run into any issues, have faith and patience sis.
What's the breeder's guidelines, 60 is low for most autos, 70-85 is more likely.
