I'm here flash! Been subbed to it since you started it but haven't had the time to go through it. It's been a pleasure watching your continual growth in growing. Each grow seems to get better and better so I have high expectations now for this one!

Thanks for taking part of this guys! As Ase mentioned it s been a lot of learning with the different previous grows and I needed to really fix the last stuff that could prevent my plants to thrive during all their life cycles! So now things should be really better in flowering!

In case someone would wonder, I m feeding with AN full line @1ml/L for everything. My different grows showed me that if I make a rez for feeding and watering during one week, I need to add ph down everyday to water @ph 5.5. Adding ph down makes ph rise so you need to be careful if you are using reservoir and add it everyday. I wished I new the npk amount present in GH phdown but I couldn't find the information. Anyway 1ml/L seems the best compromise with my setup.
Loooking good flash! Nice work!

Thanks bro! I may flip to bloom tonight. Considering my past grows it s time
Yup, they're ready when you are! Flip party...woohoo!

Veg day 24 :
After reading @Asesino85 insights, I ll wait maybe one more week depending on how fast they grow before flipping to use more horizontal space before flipping

Check... hold off on the party, got it!

Looking good. Waiting I think is a good idea. Pull her out a little, let her spread the vertical will come natural, horizontal is up to us. You have pushed me to go do a time lapse on my FCJ. Been going to do it for a long time. Thanks

Man thank you for your message! I still feel a bit worried when I look at how much some of my plants have stretched in the past. Also I went back to @Asesino85 ,and could see how much his plants stretched after flip. I think two plants like his GSC or DTF would be maybe just a little two big for my space if I want to avoid them to be crowded. But maybe I m wrong and they could fill the space nicely.

Day 25 veg (day 34 from sprout)

With light as far as it can go up measure from light to floor. Subtract the distance you run the lights from top of plants from that. Now subtract the height of your final pot from floor from that. Now you have the available grow area. If you divide that by 3 (Assuming a 200% stretch) will give you the height to put them into flower. Not sure if Zon sells shoe horns.... LOL

Yeah I had already though about that but trust me my last two grows with advanced nutrients nuts have produced more like 300% stretch for most of the strain except Dinachem which did a bit over 200%. And this with excellent light coverage. I read yesterday that they advise not to use b52 during two first weeks of bloom cause it promotes stretch. I ve always used it all the way long and it may be why my plants always stretched that much. So I plan to do the same that time and will stop if things get out of control. During my two previous grows I flipped with plants shorter than then bigger one and ended with plants that would have been perfect for my space if they were only two. Ase's plants would be two big for my space cause even if I can grow tall plants, I don't have a lot width and plants also get horizontally bigger during stretch. I prefer choosing the safe path. This grow is just to ensure my personal consumption during summer so I m looking firstly for quality. If I don't have enough stretch at the end it will be a good way to know that I can veg 2 plants longer in my grow space. So next grows will be only top notch ones. So I m fine with that. Weed plants need space to develop correctly and when they start to touch each other I think they see it like stress and favor only top buds. Then you can forget about everything under the 3/4 of the height. Whenever I see someone with buds well developed even in the bottom zone, i also see that the plant had enough space to develop. That's why more plant don't often mean more yields. I could experience it. I really want to see two nice plants thriving here
Anyway all that to say I m finally flipping tonight

Day and night temp diff will also effect stretch. Keep it tight for less.

Subbed! Looking good.. I'm giving away a plant so I don't get too crowded so I know exactly what you mean!

Subbed in!! I have been using AN's Sensi line, at no more than 90% ish rate with great results. I only add big bud, and voodoo juice, in balanced peat, and have been extremely happy with my returns.

New challenger update :
I Had put a green crack seed in a weird house made of 2 rockwool cubes stacked up. Then as I was planning to grow only 2 plants and had ordered two new monster profit seeds (first ones didn't sprout), I decided to just put the pot outdoor and forgot it. However a few minutes ago, while I was getting some water outside, I realized the lil green crack was still alive and very good looking considering she s been outdoor since 14th February! Weather is windy as F and temps around 35F/53F!
Unbelievable!
She s definitely been stunted but looks really great considering the path she s been through!
As the other girl have been flowering for 4 days, I decided to put the lil green crack in the tent and let her do her life until anything starting being crowded. But considering the the fact she s been placed in a new location she may take around one week to purck up (if she does) so will stay small no matter what!
I ll update the flowering girls on Monday as it will be one week of flowering. I ll post a week day by day time-lapse.
Currently feeding is still with 1ml/L of everything (Advanced nutrients line). It gave me a ppm around 700 which the girls seem to love. Plus by time as I have to add a bit of pHdown everyday at watering (I make a weekly rez) I end with ppm around 900 which for the moment hasn't caused any trouble. Don't ask me why the phdown makes ppm increase that much I won't be able to answer. But I guess adding a couple everyday end in adding more than I would be adding if I was making a daily rez
