Thanks grow!
I just realized something really dumb I've been doing... I've had my light cycle on 21/3 for some reason! I changed it to 18/6 so she stretches out more and the lower branches that are usually covered by the large leaves get more light. I usually try to tuck the big leaves under the bud spots so they get more light but they always get undone...
Any tips on how i can get more light to the lower branches and buds other than the light cycle? Maybe some lst on the small branches with buds on them, to get them away from the shadows from the large leaves?

And I'm wondering an average harvest time for speed devil #2... Ive read about 75 days while the company claims its 2 months, i want the trichs to be cloudy and not too amber cause i read that makes the high more uplifting and less couch-locky.
Thanks guys for any help!!
Oh and heres some pics of her from today, some slight yellowing on the tips of some leaves, anyone know whats causing it?

yellowing on the tips are the starts of nute burn usually..did you go up on your nutes lately?
 
Haven't really been using any nutes other than the nutes that miracle gro packed into the potting soil, these are really the first negative effects ive seen from MG, i sure wish i started them in promix!
 
oh yeah, thats right. i forgot you used that..i would imagine that now that she's this old, it shouldnt effect her as much, but im not positive. I know there is a reason everyone keeps saying to keep away from that stuff. its either that, or the ph of your water, or the fact that youve been overwatering. Those are usually the causes of yellowing leaves. But the good news is, you noticed it when its just barely starting, so you can go through the necessary steps to fix it.
 
Yeah its probably the ph, i kinda don't have a ph meter so i have no idea what the ph is! Im gonna head over to my local garden store and grab one when i get a chance
Oh and HAPPY 420 everyone! Hope you all have a dope day, unluckily i haven't smoked in 55 days and can't smoke for another 30 or so, but growing my girl seems to take the edge off not toking! lol
 
Wow. Didn't realize you couldn't smoke. Touche' sir!
 
Yeah it sucks but hopefully this girl will be harvesting right about when I can smoke again so i can sample a little nug before I cure it!
Changing the light cycle totally worked, most of her branches grew about 3inches in the last 2 days!! They're all now getting a good amount of light and not so blocked by the fan leaves, update with pics either tm or tuesday! Stay tuned guys!
 
to be quite honest, i havent smoked in a long time either..the reason im doing all this is cuz i moved where i live not too long ago from far away (1800 miles), and now i got no connections to good meds, plus ive got a family, so its not worth the risk dealing with shady peeps. im eagerly waiting myself~but with how things are going between us two, we shouldnt have any problems getting some danky dank soon :)
 
Yeaah bro well be smokin on some bangin kush in no time!
Heres a quick pic update of how my girls doing, she got ALOT taller and has significantly more & longer branches, and much better light penetration, the smaller bud sites are doing much better. It's probably due to the change in light cycle to 18/6. I'm really glad i read that article on here about how light cycle affect the height and branching of the plant.
