Hello All/Sara.
It's been awhile since I've posted so just wanted to give a shout out. Brief update, I have a 2x2x5 Jardin Tent with currently 3 plants. I started out with Seven, culled two fairly fast, had 5 for awhile, then weeded out another tall lanky one that was almost for sure a male. This left me with 4. I currently have three, one plant was showing early signs of being a male and I was running out of space so it had to go. Currently, three females, I'll keep a close out for changes tho', you never know, but these three SHOULD be good to go. I normally use femmed seeds from the tude', but long story short, had some issues so no go. The tude' folks are awesome, great customer service. Back on track, damn GSC's (yummy), these girls have only been under LED since germination(think of me Sarah
I'd love another light, my wife might not approve, but my conviction knows no bounds). Now, for this excellent light, I really can't say enough about the Mars II 400. I get over an inch of growth a day in Veg, I can only imagine how fast these baby's are going to take off in bloom. Alright, so I fimmed them twice, in the first 30 days, they were growing out of control, no joke. After FIM, nothing but LST training. I've been keeping them right around 12-13 inches, kind of crazy to see a plant almost 2 months old(52 Days from Germ, today is day 53), and it's so short. Currently, all plants right around 15 - 16 inches give or take. Normally, this plant would be crazy tall, but I just don't have the height. The smart pot, 10", the light and carbon filter, might as well be another 8- 10" lost. I'm looking for right around 32" total when stretch is over. It's going to be tight in there no doubt. Next run, I'm going to do one monster under the scrog net that came with the tent. Anyway, I just gave them a feeding today and they were flipped last night(cycle didn't start until today for flowering). They had 19 hours of darkness to compensate for light cycle time change. Yesterday, I measured all the plants, they were 13-14 inches, today, with 19 hr darkness, they were 15- almost 17" some of the nodes. I also wanted to say that once the plants are used to this bright LED, they can get pretty close. They are right around 8- 9 inches away from light with no ill effects whatsoever. It's so amazing to watch this stretch, I'm sure i'll have to train more during these next two to three weeks. I've grown for 15 plus years and I still get giddy watching them blow up with explosive growth. Cool Stuff. Thank you Sara, and definitely keep me in mind for that gift, nothing but MARS 400 growth here . And nothing beats pictures, so enjoy.

October 1st, which was the last FIM.
Nice Pic of the nodes. If you have never FIM'd before, don't freak out with the wierd looking leafs from giving them a flat top hair cut. After FIM, should look like this.
