The tent is filling up quick and i was a bit worried about stretch so i lowered the trellis a bit, and will most likely be flipping to flower in 7-10 days. I am happy with the structure and there is enough branching already to fill up the trellis, just a matter of it growing in a bit.

I faithfully use silica. made a believer out of me, I use the silica blast, which one you use ? I only used 4 supporting stakes in 5 plants, and before silica, It would have been 25 stakes. And I believe it when they say sicila reduces heat And cold stress.

I am using Rhino Skin fron AN. I may not stick with the AN brand but silica is a permanent addition to my feedings now for sure.
 
Well, 2 weeks had passed so it was my favorite time once again, foliar feed!!! You know you are a plant nerd when this actually gets you excited ... lol.

Foliar mix:

1000 ML RO water
2.5 ML Fulvic acid
1.0 ML Bioweed
20 ML Uber foliar delivery system

Here is an updated shot of the LST green crack girl, she has 27 tops and is a bit behind the others, but i will use her to fill in canopy gaps.

On this big green crack girl (#1) I tried the Grand Master Level technique. She was the fastest growing and I wanted to slow her down and bush her out more without topping, so I took the top two sets of fan leaves off. It's my understanding that this slows down the terminal cola and allows the side branching to catch up without the shock of topping.

This white cookies girl (#1) is probably the most bushiest at this point.

It won't be long now ... I'm thinking we will flip this weekend. I always like to try new things, for example these girls were vegged at 16/8. I wanted to try this out after listening to a Harley Smith interview and I think they turned out well. I will also be flowering at 11.5/12.5 to see if it increases aroma, flavour, and potency as per some research I have done. I was going to do 11/13 but after talking with @ShiggityFlip he suggested this as 11/13 works better for sativas.

Since i got a few days, anyone got any good recipes i can use this for?

Hey guys, sorry been a busy last couple of days and haven't had time to sit down and make a post. I watered the night i gave my foliar feed and innoculated, and the girls appetites went wild. I got a bit of a cal mag issue starting so i will have to bump up my feed this week. The trellis is not completely full due to some stragglers but the 2 girls in the front are blowing through the trellis so i am going to flip monday night, with tuesday being day 1 of flower. I gave the girls some lollipopping and everyone will have a few days to relax before the flip.

The LST girl before her hair cut.

White Cookies girl #1, i don't think support is going to be an issue.

The girls all set back up after a cleaning up.

What is that high noon effect supposed to help the plants? I like the idea of you being able to set it lower for a veg light. My neighbor grebs just grew 11 ozs. of white widow, in 3x3 tent with a 315w lec cmh. So I'm sure that you'll like that light.

The plants photosynthesize the most during the mid day, so i will be supplementing with extra light during those hours.

What do you mean supplementing more light during those hours? Like adding a new light next to your existing and setting it on its own timer? Never heard of that.

I have a 315 CMH, however the Sunplix CMH is dimmable. I can go as low as 150 watts for seedlings or ramp it up to 350 watts. It also has a sunplix mode which is 400 watts, but it designed to be run at 1-2 hours a day, not full time or it will reduce your bulb life. So to pump up my plant's DLI, i am increasing to 400 watts for 1.5 hours a day when they are at the peak photosythesizing rates during my 11.5 lights on/12.5 lights off schedule.
