@beez0404 and @InTheShed, you guys are great and I really appreciate the nudges! But this plant is in only a 2x2 tent. After I laid it out flat it kept growing and I kept moving the anchors out to keep it horizontal. The leaves are now nearly touching the sides of the tent on all four sides. It seems to be a good time to flip her, which I did yesterday.
BTW, I'm more concerned about quality than volume (though both would be ideal).

I would rather have a half ounce of some killer buds then a full ounce of some pretty good stuff.

Me too, Beez!
I got this plant to 53 days, looking healthy and only getting to 4g per gallon of Mega Crop. I have high hopes for this one, quality-wise.
It's not that I think I've finally figured out the MC, because I haven't. But THIS plant seems to think I know what I'm doing.
Well then that's a perfect time to flip!
They're not mutually exclusive. Stretching a plant out and increasing harvest doesn't diminish the quality. It will either be quality or it won't, but if it turns out it's quality, more is always better! If it turns out to just be fair, more is also better.

My plant's at a similar point to yours, GDB! Will probably flip in the next couple of weeks.
Congrats! Excited to watch yours go now

I hear you, Shed. But I think I'm on a roll with this plant so in one ear out the other.Well then that's a perfect time to flip!

I'm new to these photos and I think I've got this one in a good place!

Saw it Shed. I'm all ears (or rather eyes) on this site.

Had the girl out for her feeding today. She's already starting to stretch after being flipped only 3 days ago. Today she took 5L of water before I saw any runoff. It's the first time she has taken that much. She's on 4.25 of Mega Crop.
Happy Monday (if there is such a thing)!

Good day, growers.
The Cosmic Lights stretching like a rubber band at 7 days post-flip. Pistils starting to pop. I'm holding her stedy at 4.25g of Mega Crop until she asks for more. There are 11 inches left between the top of the plant and the light.

Looks great GDB! And if any branches get too close to the light you have plenty of room to supercrop.

Thanks, Shed. I am guessing (and it's purely a guess) that she'll stop right before reaching the lights. If she doesn't, I'll definitely start bending her.
Y’ever clean a plant up clear to the top most growth before flipping? The buds turn out stupid big... not that it’s too necessary with your setups, just maybe something fun to try.

Hello growers.
A quick update on the Cosmic Lights. She's on day 11 post-flip and still stretching. There are 9.5 inches left between the top of the plant and the light. I upped the Mega Crop just a pinch, from 4.25 to 4.3 (Why? Because my initial scoop weighed 4.3 and I thought, "Close enough.")
I'm still trying to get my head around how long these photos take to mature. Not knowing anything about this particular plants flowering period is making matters worse. I'm trying to ignore her, but I look at her all the time. That too, makes matters worse. I'm certain that my next photo grow, when I plan to do 4 at a time, will drive me bat-shit crazy!
A few pics:
Later!

Don't stress GDB, it looks great!
Whenever it stops stretching (which happens somewhere around day 21 post-flip, but varies from strain to strain), you can supercrop the tallest branches to keep them from burning if they are too close to the light.
An even canopy is always the goal when growing in a tent.

Hello grow crew and happy Friday!
A quick update on the Cosmic Lights. She's on day 14 post-flip.
Today I did some defoliation and bumped up her Mega Crop from 4.3 to 4.5.
I left a few things on that I shouldn't have. I have yet to develop the heart to go hard at them like I've seen many do here. Maybe I'll get there one day!
Anyway, she's a lot more open now and most of the bottom stuff except the large fans is history.
This mega crop doesn't leave a person a lot to do. I started out in DWC, so growing with MC in dirt or Pro Mix seems almost like a stroll in the park. Even with the 8 autos going in my other tent there is not a lot going on. This bothers me greatly. I need stuff to do, but I know a return to DWC is not the answer right now (that's too much to do).
To help me cope, I've bought new tent and a new light. The tent is 5x5 and 6ft tall. And the light is, I think, perfect for the tent. I'm posting pics. Hope I don't get into any trouble for this.
More photo plants on the way soon (relatively speaking)!

Lol! I’m bored so I think I’ll spend an easy grand. What are you gonna do in there? One plant in a 20 gallon scrog? Which SF panel is it?

LOL! It's the SP-4000, Chef.
I'm going to stick with multiple pots (5 & 7 gallon) and multiple strains. I've already got 4 seeds in paper towels (Strawberry Grape Banana, Alaskan Purple, Jack Herrer and Fatkids Cake).
I'm looking forward to griping about having too much to do!
