I check your journal almost everyday! I'm always pretty stoked about the quality of your posts!
I arrived on one of your journal by coincidence while browsing cannabis growing and that's definitely what convinced me to start my own grow. Your journals were/are bibles to me and I'm sure they'll be for many others! Keep it up!

Thank you everyone, it is really nice to know that there are regular followers, and sometimes, i wonder if the post are boring with all the info, thanks for the kind words ;-)
I have plenty of stuff to log today:
Day 49/36/28
==========
The "gravity hook" (lol) : as i don't have the room for a grid or scrog, i use wires and weights to bend the plants. It is two parts: 1/ hook, and 2/ weight
This is the hook.... remember how Blue Dream head was yesterday? 1 day later... scwharzenegger...
I use an old e-cig mod tube as a weight. Today it is not enough so I must add a bit. I've put "puffemon-go" green monsters to catch in this image. (..."you really don't need to catch em all")... you understand why i did that, right
? (finger prints)
I just tape another one. In case it is too heavy, i use a starter pot to put the ecigs-weights higher. I just need to slow down Blue Dream's vertical growth, I still need it to be more vertical shaped than horizontal, to let the two others grow on its sides.
Water system:
- for the moment the two pumps run for 99 seconds 3.33 times a day (every 7.2 hours). That's the closest to "every 8 hours" i can get. the other choice is every 9.8 hours (2.5 times a day).
I also randomly dropped a few Aptus pellets in each pots. not sure is they are under each pipe, i doubt, but before leaving, i will activate them by spraying water. then, well it's there anyway and i hope the BatMix will live up to expectations.
Still no signs of pistols, but it is growing....
On the auto front, day 49....
First a pic, then some info
I tried to repair the fan of the roleadro-galaxy-hydro-indoor led panel, but received bad fans twice.... first time my fault (grrmmmbll) , second time faulty specs on seller website. money out of the window....
I ordered new ones directly from china, but in the meantime, I was obliged to use the light.
I used Noctua PC fans 0.7 A instead of 0.15A, that's half the speed at the end, so it was not enough.
I did not want to cut the noctua cables, to use them later in a pc (taking money back from the window...) , but I had to drill bigger wholes for the screws, and that's not something that can be avoided (the heat sink is screwed to the fans).
It's ok though, and to keep the noctua cables "as new", i connected a psu-220V to Molex (Phobya 12V). The internal psu of the original fans is not connected to anything.
Too hot, so I took one of the extractor from the big tent, and ....
125mm 185/m3/h blowing on led panel = cool tube for leds
Yes, it works, and it works much better when the extractor is more horizontal, blowing on both the top, but also one side: that way it works much better than ever. The other good point is that is actually ventilates the plants in a moderate way. Perfect.
It's been used for 7 days now. and it could be use until I receive the compatible fans to solder it.
BUT, I am leaving 10 days, and it is too worrying, if the extractor falls, or anything... A fire in my absence...impossible!
So I was obliged to order a new one. It could not be a roleadro on amazon. Don't get me wrong, they are very good light for growth and for UVs. but this fan thing is a series problem (heard it at least twice + me = 3).
I am reassured now. Not a spending planned in advance, but it's a high security matter here. less than 200€ spent to avoid serious risks.
Vey happy how it grew with a lot of air between leaves, lights penetrates easilyu and deep, buds should be of the same density everywhere.
The bigger tent
I'm impatient to put the indoor led cob there once the fan is repaired....
Thanks for watching everyone !

This is an evolution of the gravity hook, the gravity-snake-hook
First, here the weight is simply a "bag of heavy stuff"
The snake hook is simply that S shape that allows to bend 2 points at the same time. When the apex grows longer, I will probably be able to add another curve to the snake... I just invented it, did someone do before me ? who cares!!
The strain is the lemon HB. In a couple of days, i will probably cut those giant leaves at the bottom, for deeper light penetration (whatever is under those leaves is in the shadows).
edit: i finally just made that other curve which is above the stem of the new big leaves (just where the leaves begin)

Day 52/39/31
=========
Departure -1
=========
Fems Days 39/31
===========
6 fems in 11L pots = 8 autos in 11L ... ok... They are super large, I hope the leds will keep them lower. I am more stressed about plants touching the led panel than by watering now.
Blue Dream: 47cm
Others: around 40/45cm.
Day 52 - Autos :
===========
They should be done in 2 or 3 weeks. The smell is strong, and the extractor is dead (it is supposed to suck 300 m3/h but it doesn't suck cr...p because when i put a 185m3/h as intractor, the box becomes larger, so air is not extracted as fast as it goes in (it's even slower). may be it is dirty and time to clean it...or change it. It will be soon 1 year old.
Anyway, once they are cut, I will be able to put one of the small fems in there.
I guess 2 weeks, 3 weeks max.
The California Snow, still cristal clear
The Bloody Skunk (cloudy). I can see at least 2 or 3 long fibers of dust (probably wool or....).That's why I do shake and filter the weed to remove this kind of stuff...
That's all for now folks !

Well with them sitting at about 40-50cm right now, I would say that you're good to flower. A great way to tell is when the node start to alternate meaning when they grow one higher or lower than the other. Pretty much if you switch to flower you'll end up with plants about a meter tall by the end plus pot size but really it's strain dependent remember to drop the light down a bunch to slow stretch and you'll be fine they look amazing man and your tent is looking mighty crowded. Soon you can do away with the humidifier and let the humidity drop plus you'll need the room to train them down a bit.
And loving the autos under the 400w they are looking amazing I'm thinking 1 x 11L pot would be enough in our little tents next time. I want to try to do some super training next time and maybe a stick treatment

Thanks for the good advices spart.
I am on 12/12 for a week now, and I guess I will go down to 11 this evening.
Only the Aya shows signs of pistols, very young ones.
I will need to put the light up a little bit, but will count that the distance betrween leds/plants can be 30 cm (in the small box, it's around 30/35cm from canopee and all is ok).

A stick treatment 
I basically top 4th node trim first node leaving 2nd and 3rd and then tie those nodes straight to a stick makes for a even canopy. I've done it once before wanna try it again Pics. of what I mean
I should of kept tying it own so all budding site were even but it was a first attempted next will be better.

I have a 14L (28.5*28.5*28.5 cm) that I use for a bouguainvillier on my balcony. It is not much bigger than a 11L, and I think it would be fine for an single auto in a 60*60 box especially for a heavily trained plant. The few centimeters larger than the 11L pots might give the Auto a couple of days more before flowering.
On that pic, the larger pot is the 14L, then we have a 11L, and a smaller one (6 or 3.5L). you can find it with this info pasquini bini, square, 14L , décorated, 28.5*28.5*28.5 .

Day 53 / 40 / 32
============
Just a quick pic before leaving.
The Lemon HB (t op left) got rid of all the weight and "hooks" . It just didn't want to be LSTed.
Watering system changed to once a day only.
Canopy of Blue Dream(top center) and Aya Purple (bottom right) are fairly flat. The washing machine is a beautiful strain (bottom left) it has lots of branches and remains compact. GSC, not sure what is happening in the upper right corner.
A few trichomes from the autos.
leaving, girls on their own now. Next pics in 10 days
See you !!

Hi all,
back home !
so, 10 days ago
And now....
Someone came 3 times to add water to the tanks, they were dry every 3rd day. The soil is wet but not that wet. All plants have stretched by an height equal to the distance I added between leds and canopy.
I 've put the lights slightly higher today.
Average distance is probably 40 cm (between 30cm (highest colas) and 50cm (lower branches that have stretched to form a second layer).
I will have to defoliate a bit in a few days I think. at the right, the highest plant is ayaz's purple, 82cm feet to top (approx 115cm from tent floor).
The Lemon HB (42 days - top left) has just began flowering.
The Autos are almost done... check this out !
California Snow
I don't think I had that density of trichromes last time... crazy !!
Bloody Skunk is Purple-ing. Most leaves are green, but flower buttons are dark violette, as well as leaves blades.
Red Trichome feet !!!! 8-o
The purple on the leaves edges is in fact Red Trichomes !!! awesome
See you !!
