Good catch Toasty, I did see the points of your leaves turned slightly up. You handled that before any major damage was done. That is just from having new lights, MORE POWER. I love that your lights give an instant bump to your plants. Plus you have to push your plants as far as they will go.
So Troy you're coming to the west coast eh? My neck of the woods you could say. I was born on a mountain, north of vancouver. If you need me to give you directions to Cafe Amsterdam, Vancouver Seed Bank, Crop King Seeds, just ask. I hope you enjoy yourself here because it's the most beautiful motivational mountains you will ever see. People smoke everywhere there.
May I ask why you gave the ladies a 12/12 light period? Just curious to learn...
Also, Dee is a beehive ready to burst. Your ladies are so beautiful, and massive. She is def my fav.
It will be interesting to see how the tip spreading technique goes because you have so many tops that they might fall over. What a nice problem to have.
Thanks for the information - The plants did respond by dropping the light and giving them a good drink.
As for the reason of 12/12 - I was wanting to give Olga and Dee a little kick to get them to initiate flowering. The good news is that this morning I found a couple tuffs of pistols on both. Maybe just a coincidence but they are running much longer than I would have expected to initiate.
We are just taking a quick visit to Vancouver to meet up with my best friend from Australia who is currently at Whistler for some skiing. A quick question. Do you have to have a card or residence requirement to visit places like Café Amsterdam. I'll probably be skipping the seed banks as I don't want to be crossing the boarder with them. I live in SF Bay area so will actually be a going north trip for me.

Thanks Sly - I'm pretty happy with them so far buy like an anxious father am waiting to see some fluffy heads.
*I thought the 12/12 would help give them a bit more time to recover from the heat stress so I agree, it was a good call.
*OMG, you'll be driving right by my house then, cause we live in between Vancouver and Whistler. You can see my house from the hwy 99 you'll be driving north. Amsterdam cafe doesn't require any cards, you walk in, grab something to eat or drink to support the owners, then sit down and enjoy your 420 right there. No fee's of any kind.
*What if you drove up, I could meet you at Tim Horton's here for only 5 mins, it's on your way, and give you some of my BC HUGS...hahahaha

Thanks for the information. Actually not driving up to Whistler. We are flying into Vancouver and our friends who are currently in Whistler will be coming to Vancouver to meet us. I love Vancouver and in many ways it reminds me a lot of San Francisco and also Sydney. I just wish it were a little warmer....
Ahhh, so close yet so far. If you were here in July and august for forest fire season, you'd be wondering why it's so hot here. The sky turns grey and it's hard to breathe sometimes, but the wind gushes in and cleans it up.
So Mrs G is picking up steam, I could see she is stretching out her wings. You are going to have beasts now that Dee is finally showing pistils. I just think maybe some of the topping slowed her down but it didn't affect her at all. In fact, she is gonna to expand like fire works.
Do you have any stakes ready to hold her up just in case.
Great job!

My fear with Dee is that she is going to go for so long. I was reading a journal on a different site and they had a Daiquiri Lime that went for 140 days - She is still stretching and the breeder said they grow to about 1 meter in height.
Mrs G is really coming on nice. She doesn't look as full today because of the defoliation but has put on some height over night.
yikes, you need a contingency plan Troy. When I grew Afghan Kush Ryder, I did the exact same thing. They grew tall and had multiple tops, the outside ones, fell over because the stalks weren't think enough to support. I also wasn't as experienced as you so I am no way predicting, just sayin'. You might need some supports. What about a trellis? Or creating some diy faux-scrog type device to give them outside support. Otherwise, you could actually get away with it if you do the tip spreading because it does zigzag your stretch. So start now...hahahahaha You're still gonna have your needs met either way for meds.

Will be interesting to see how they do. I'm looking forward to having some good Kush.
I have a Scrog in my second tent if I need it, but also have a good supply of bamboo stakes if I need them. I'm expecting the current grow to be quite bushy but until their stretch stops it is going to be difficult to tell.

Bamboo should do the trick for sure. Spread those tips like you're giving a MANicure. hahahaha
Enjoy the imminent buffet, I'm really love autos. I am still wanting to watch you grow the AKR, it's by far the strongest I've ever grown. You won't be disappointed, you'll be trippin' with trails.

I dropped the beans in Rapid Rooter plugs today and have them sitting in a Tupperware container. I want them to pop in the next couple days but hoping they won't grow too much while I'm away until Thursday.
I think this time I'm going to put them in Solo Cups with CoCo until they are ready for transplanting. Still trying to figure out what size pots to use. Any suggestions?
My current grow is in 7 Gallon (26 Liter) fabric pots. I thing the size and the time to flower may be affected by the large pot size.

Yay.....more babies..... 
5 gallon will probably speed up your process and maybe cutting down on topping would do the trick.
My first mentor Snid, was an auto bad*ss, he used 5 gallon, topped once, restrain, train, then let the tops do the work. That was his go-to, so if that helps, you are not sacrificing quantity, you're choosing quality, and will match that yield, if not better. Plus, if you downsize, can you add one more? hahahaha

Not sure if the 5 gallons would allow for more girls in the dormitory. The ones I have are about the same diameter as the 7 Gallon but not as deep. I will probably order them on Tuesday or Wednesday from Vancouver from Amazon and have them delivered on Thursday or Friday.
It's just a wishful thinking obsession, more more more. 
We all do it...... I'll just be happy if I get to the finish line....It's just a wishful thinking obsession, more more more.

You will make it to the finish line for sure. Mrs G and I will be behind you pushing and shoving if needed ...

I'm glad I have supporters. I know I'll need a smoke when I'm done.
I need a smoke now, but don't have any.....so I must make it to the finish line.
