I'm regretting a late flip as well, I don't like the girls pushing and shoving, the leaves get all wet with sweat. Garden looks great dude, a model of uniformity.

They look just beautiful!Good evening! Its been raining steady for a few days, that makes the humidity that much harder to control when the tent is closed. At lights on I added the first low fan and ran a big fan from outside for a bit.
The stretch is on. It already shows that the larger grow bags will really make a difference in the size. These will probably be larger than I wanted. Pre flower pistils are showing. Soon flowers will form.
Its bed time. Thanks for looking in. Happy grows

I saw you flipped on Sunday---------
Good morning, it’s already day 33. Approximately a third of the way there.
So far the Tropicanna Banana’s are growing the fastest of the bunch. I think all are looking good.
Thanks for looking in. Happy grows

Good morning. Bud-set, or flowering has started. The stretch is on and a few are growing by inches a day. 
The lower parts have been thinned. The upper parts are thick with growth, as soon as they all stretch some more they will show better individually and can be mildly defoliated. They get approximately 2 liters of water/feed every 2 days. Its been wet and rainy here making it harder to control the humidity. After they are thinned the humidity wont be such an issue. The smell now is thick and green!

Did you say water/feed every 2 days?
Do you modify the strength of feeds based on being that frequent?
Sorry for the questions Stinker. Your grows are always so lush and solid, and being a Barneys Farm fan myself I would like to try and understand just how much you are getting to them.

Thanks DV, I water/feed every 2 days now. In veg it was mostly every 3 days. The feeding frequency is something that is a point of contention. I don't mention it unless asked. I feed with every watering and carefully watch, adjusting as needed. I keep notes. My last water/feeds TDS was 1250, that's down from 1360 the previous watering. I am cutting out the N or veg nutrients and that has dropped the TDS No.'s. The No.'s will come up again as the bud specific nutrients are increased.
What I do works for me. Apparently feeding with every watering can cause a buildup of salts.

Good evening, its late. Speaking of watering, they were just watered @ 2 liters per plant. That maxes out the 3 gal bags. They were also rotated, thinned a little and inspected where I could see. I saw what might be early polyploidism, not sure, never seen it in person or even early in pics.. I'll see if I can get in a few pics for a better look.
To clarify. I am certain salts will build if the plant is not using what is given. If not able to observe its best to skip a feeding, or even water - water feed. Plants will get used to using nutrients and being fed. These plants want to grow!
She is a beauty
I certainly am. No one is more invested in my happiness and well being than me
I’m going to get an update going today!
It certainly does.
That’s how you know your water and nute dance is right for you. Your plants tell you loud and clear. Well I think they do. There are so many variants. Weather, temps, humidity, individual plant needs.
For those who don’t understand watering, I always recommend growing some other house plants. You learn there is no one rule fits all. The only common denominator is they all need water to survive. Different plants have different needs and need different feed patterns. For example my Pink and Izzy, they are two days apart in birth and have two very different watering needs. Look not hugely different, coz it’s just water lol, but Izzy is a water hog, who has sometimes needed a daily feed, where Pink drinks like a queen sipping tea and has only needed watering on the third day.
My pet hate is water nazi’s who think their way is the way, coz it fucking ain’t! Lolling!

Its probably to early to tell. Is this polyploidism? There are 3 fans staggered where I think there should be 2 and the flower is elongated. This branch started at the bottom. Its thick! Am I seeing things?

Never experienced a "buildup of salts" yet, and I feed em like an Italian grandmother. Looking streamlined and glorious in that garden my man, everything in its place.
I was today years old when I learned what polyploidism is!
For those of you who need educating, stinker basically has a Down Syndrome plant.
I’ve nursed many people with Downs Syndrome, and if the plant is anything like the human form, this grow is gonna be magical.

It is similar. How to be more innocent? I really have no way of knowing if this is what is happening. Time will tell. There is something going on but it is not affecting the whole plant, only the one branch/limb that I see.
