Glad to see your still around res. I'm wondering why you can't grow? it must really suck to build a set up and have to quit.
I hope you'll still drop by and help me out.

Oh man I'm sticking with you the whole grow. Just been busy since I got out of the hospital. Well my fiance doesn't want me to grow anymore . And it isn't worth the argument . So I chopped my 3 plants down and thru them away. It was truly a sad day. . They were huge. .Glad to see your still around res.

Glad your sticking around res. I under stand, lost my best ever outdoor plant about the same way.
But it's legal here now, and that's where the problem had come from.
Any thoughts on my plan?

Well, the girls left the 7's yesterday, and after 6 cubic feet of additional pro mix are setting into their 17 gallon final homes.
Re-potting at this size is no easy task. it's a good thing sonny boy was around to help. It's certainly a two person job. I had a few that were a little too dry towards the bottom, but damage was minimal. However, I know my modified pots are working well, and the moisture is not being stuck towards the bottom. The roots looked great.
After spending their lives tied down, they still want to spring up, so I'll do a little tie down after work today.
I'm getting excited for the flip and the next phase.
They are all at least two feet wide at this point, but only 12-14'' tall. I'm hoping for 16''-20'' by next weekend as I can easily handle double that height.
To the right in this pic is the branch I broke off during training and cloned. Shes growing naturally and is as high as the rest.

Thanks res, half way there now. Don't let me kill them now, lol
The master kush that wants to run, aptly named super girl, is super vigorous. I took clones from all of them a week ago, but check this out.
No roots showing on the babies from the other 5, but man, theses can't be stopped.

they're looking awesome man! setting up my 10' by 20' greenhouse thurs. doing 6 photos and 6 super autos in there in 17gal super pots. can't wait to get it going! in my opinion, id stop lsting your plants now and let them grow up. i lsted my w.w to the point i got about 30 buds per plant. got great yield but smaller buds. if thats ok with you keep doing what your doing but if you want big hard nugs , id let them grow up now. plus if they get too much wider your gonna run out of space and run a risk of mold getting in there. once you filp they're gonna get wider anyway. just my 2 cents.

Hey Moose,
Thanks for the advice. I started letting them go vertical a week or so ago, after realizing the width might give me trouble.and advice from Mr Am. I think you can tell from this pic.

As for cola's,believe it or not, I started managing the number awhile ago, keeping them all under 20 and trying to keep just the dominant ones.
My biggest concern right now is lights. I had hoped to have 6 300's in there by now, but the budget says make do with 4.
I might still run into trouble with width, but I'll keep the main colas and lose some side branches if needed.

LOL. Things seem to change slow when your young, and faster as you age.
I've been raising kids for over 30 years, so I had no choice but to learn how to run these contraptions.
I still feel like an idiot about them, but if you follow the how to post pictures guide on here, you can do it.
Feel free to try here

Well, this morning the plants told me it was time to flip
The stretchy master kush hit 20'', and I'm afraid of height issues if I wait any longer. so following nova's suggestion, I dropped the lights to 18'' and set on bloom only. No more standing and staring after 6 pm.
The first true leaf showed Feb 23, so if my count is right, that"s 77 days of 18/6, or 11 weeks.
10 to 12 lonnnggg weeks to go.
