So I flipped them to 12/12 on 10/2 and they are already budding lol told you these bastards dont take any time at all.... I did think the lower branches woukd stretch more than they did seeing how they didnt even stretch but a couple inches .... bastards be talking about "Your plants going to stretch 2-3x its size after flip!!" Lol I had actually believed that crap at first.... Didnt know what to expect then low and behold my first SQ I flowered was only a tad taller than before flip... She just gets bushy thats all I dont see much stretching in here even though shes 50/50... now she will stretch like hell under inadequate light such as CFL but my LED's stop that.

I want to give them all a heavy watering next time they need water and just soak up the excess with towels... But I normally like doing a heavier watering going into flowering. Alls going pretty well... A few leaves on 3 of the plants are showing deficiencies but these girls always get a tad eh when they start budding im not worried... going to start with protekt and magpro waterings either next watering in a 1/4 str or the one after just gonna eye ball it.

They look Great I usually don't worry either about deficiencies in stretch. I've noticed that if you start feeding bloom nutes at flip they don't stretch ad much as normal and trichomes start earlier.

Yeah it was definitely odd because some branches didnt stretch at all lol.. not going to be lollipopping everything underneath the net just everything thats shadowed.

No pics yet but surprisingly noticed roots on one of my cuttings when checking to see if they needed water... Ill look them all over tomorrow and take pics just glanced at the one.

 

[LedGuy74]

So I gave them a look over and its just the one that has roots sticking out... shes really rooting hard too lol she has roots coming out in every side already.

Nice looks like the next round is gonna be going soon.

 

[LedGuy74]

Two more clones have roots showing...

Also probably just going to use my scrog as a support net this round and next grow veg longer and use it as a scrog.

I think I see either phos deficiency or water burn

Which one? I see the deficiency on the one plant in the tent and the leaves on the ones in the garbage can. Not overly worried as I've started introducing bloom nutes to all my plants so they should be fine now.

Perfect sounds good bro, they do look good, I just didn't want it to catch ya.

Is it okay if I just post my questions here. Others may have similar questions.

So if I am able to snag 2 of the 120 q boards can do you think I can run them at 50 watts a piece effectively if my frame incorporates a way to disperse heat?

Yep you can run them at 50 or 60W. They don't run hot by any means.

So here is my small grow.. I'm actually excited for it... I have no idea what I'll yield or what it'll turn out to be like but those girls are really starting to get frosty and dense up a little... Not to much longer now in the scheme of things.... The tent grow has a bit to go but even with the slight nutrient issues these girls are still looking healthy as can be... Two of em look damn near perfect lol the other two are just a bit finkity but I did feed all my plants yesterday.

Anyhow here's those pics

The QB and screw in LED's are all just inches away from the two girls. The hairs are starting to turn red at a noticeable rate and they smell amazing. At the point of running the filter during the stinky parts of the day and hoping I can get a 4" fan soon so I can put the 6" 415CFM fan in storage it's overkill for my 4x2x4 lol just wanting a little 185cfm 4" or something... plus I'll be able to redo my ventilation and make some more room.

Here's the tent. The two on the right are going through a lot more nutrients than the two on the left hopefully by next feeding everything will be A-OK but I'm not worried they all look happy enough leave wise and they are moving along just fine.

Looking good dude! To have decided to use your scrog as more of a support screen they sure did fill it out nicely! You're gonna have a busy harvest day/week whenever that rolls around lol

Idk I just didn't want to lollipop to much underneath because I didn't fill it out quiet as much as I would of liked.

I agree there's still some space that could've been taken advantage of but for your first scrog I think it turned out really well. And since you didn't lollipop as much as you wanted to originally you'll have some popcorn buds to smoke or cook with while the good buds cure

Yeah I enjoy popcorn lol it can really add some weight and it all smokes the same imo... like I said next grow I'll take my time filling it out and do it right. I may buy some bags to make dry ice hash with if I decide I have enough trim/larf overall. The stalks are also definitely MUCH stronger than my last runs stalks.
