I returned back from lake this afternoon and immediately peeked in on the girls. They were asleep but were very thirsty so I gave them 1 Gal each straight H2O, and 1/3 Gal each of H2O and 1.5t Cal-Mag. Looks like a jungle in there really stretching even with the tucking but haven't been able to tuck since Friday so they were fighting for the light. Gave a quick tuck on the unruly ones but won't be able to really do what needs to be done til tomorrow morning when they're awake and i can sneak away from work. Will post pics at that time but looks like I need to do a little more trimming of fans as it's getting crowded in there.. I'm at Day 15 flower having done some defoil during Veg and lightly again during first 10 Days of flower as needed for light penetration. Was planning on significant defoil @ Day 20 but appears I could benefit from getting an early start tomorrow. Any thoughts???

On a lighter note, take a second to honor our military and veterans today who never get the credit they deserve. He'll of a lot more sacrificial than me that's for sure!
God Bless them

Good news for me this morning! My girls are throwing out some pistils and look very healthy and green after their big drink of water last night. Next watering they will get a full dose of their Week 3 flower nutes + unsulfured molasses. Today is Day 16 flower and here's some pics from this morning. I'm hoping stretch will be over in the next few days as I'm running out of squares!

Forgot to mention that I added another light to the tent to enhance flowering (hopefully??). It's an 800W COB that I have in the center in between the Advanced Diamond XML 150's. The XMLs have been fantastic so far, but the COB was only $100 on EBay with free shipping so I figured I'd give it a run. Really bright full spectrum with a lot of red so we shall see....

Day 18 Flower Update: I took the morning off so I decided to go ahead and give the girls a haircut before my other girls (daughters!) get outta school tomorrow and it'll be harder to get some quiet time to get in there and work! There's rain coming in later this week that'll bring humidity with it so I didn't want to take any chances with mold on a crowded canopy. Here's a before and after pic of the prining

Looking really nice! I bet that COB will help out quite a bit. I'm only flowering under 900w total, 2x450s. But damn, adding another 800w will hopefully put out some gorilla armed buds!

Yeah they seemed to have jumped big time with just 1 dark period under their belt since I put it in yesterday morning. I went ahead and cleaned up under the screen too which certainly helped with feeding had to go ahead and give them their Week 3 nutes this morning as all 3 pots were light and dry finger deep. Crazy because I just watered them to runoff Monday evening so that was just 1.5 days ago and they're in 7 Gal pots! Thirsty/hungry little ladies I guess. Each got 1T Big Bloom, 2t Grow Big, 2t Tiger Bloom, 1.5t Cal-Mag, and 1/4t Beastie Bloomz. Fed until runoff each took 1.3 Gal right before lights out

Subbed, good luck!, I am doing the same obsessing and planning before starting lol

I'm doing the same as well I have got the tent 600 w led lights soil nutrients and seeds

 

[DavidASchools]

Thanks JDub, Jump on in there's plenty of room! Make sure u got adequate ventilation if gonna do indoor get after it

 

[DavidASchools]

Here's a quick update with a few pics. It's crazy how 1 of the plants (back right) is obviously ahead of the other 2 in the flowering stage as you can see. What's odd is they've been under the screen since a week before flip, so girls have not been moved around at all and all should be getting equal/adequate light. Any thoughts or comments are welcome

 

[DavidASchools]

Oh also forgot to mention today is Day 20 Flower. First pic below is right side of tent where flowering is more prevalent. Second pic is left side lagging behind

 

[DavidASchools]

Overall tho all appears to be fine???

 

[Applesauce]

All appears A-OK to me. Super green!

 

[DavidASchools]

Well I checked the girls last night when I got home with the green light and all appeared fine. Went in this morning before work during "daytime" and they're plugging along and starting to stack up! Right side of tent still ahead of left but pistils there too so that eases my mind. Still not sure of reason as all 3 same strain, uenvironment, lights, nutes, and TLC since seed but I'm not complaining! I try to look at positive like it'll make harvest easier without having to trim so much in one sitting. Anyway, here's the pics from this morning Day 22 Flower

 

[DavidASchools]

Soil really dry to 2nd knuckle this evening gave them straight H2O on Friday morning so tomorrow will be 4+ days since watering trying to let them go a little longer even tho they're sucking up everything I throw at them with no apparent issues. Greedy little whores but I love them....
Tomorrow Day 23 Flower so they'll be getting their Week 4 Flower nutes lovingly mixed with 1T Big Bloom, 1.5t Grow Big, 2t Tiger Bloom, 1/4t Beastie Bloomz, 1t Cal-Mag, & 1t unsulfured molasses. I believe stretch is winding down so my plan is to feed tomorrow and give one final tuck and let them fly! I've got plenty of room (36"+) to let them go from here. I hope...
Also forgot to post side view of bud starting to stack from earlier. Here she is

 

[DavidASchools]

Here's an update from this morning with the lights on. Girls a little dry again haven't fed or watered since Monday (4 days ago) so ladies will get straight water this evening when I get home. Everything looks ok to me but I don't know what's good or bad. I do know that they're green and flowering that's about it! The pics...

 

[DavidASchools]

Girls got their drink last night along with some Cal Mag and molasses as I did a little more defoil to aid stacking up and down the stems. Saw my first red pistils this morning Day 28 flower. Still have 5-6 weeks with these ladies supposed to be a 9-10 week finisher due to the Haze influence. Also must've got cool in tent last night cause I see some frost this morning!
