Good shit man, love the nice round shape she's got, perfect for the next step!
Cheers pal, I've decided against LST after doing half of her and then unable to tie down the other half because that was the strong arm and couldn't tie it down like the rest! I'm just going to let her do what she wants and defoliate after 3 weeks of stretch. I did cut some shitty shoots off today though that won't amount to much.

Good morning everyone :smile:
Here she is Bush Master Flex!
She's 10 days into stretch (I think) No signs of pistils yet, but I'm not expecting any for at least another week. Going to spend some time and LST her, I'll be nice and gentle with her, don't want to break owt again!

Ah awesome, looks like she's finally loosening up a bit :D
I agree with the others, she'll come through to be amazing yet!

Thank you! I'm really happy with her now and am really not bothered how much she yields, just really interested in how she will turn out. She's grown massively in the 5 days I was away, and the root zone has as well, which was growing really slowly before.
How are your girls doing?

She doesn't look happy mate, just how mine was! It looks like too much Nitrogen to me, hold back on the nutes. What is the EC/CF doing?
What are the roots looking like? In my case I found that the plant was wanting to grow, but the roots were holding it back, they just didn't want to grow. The plant was too big for the shitty little roots it had, if that makes sense?
Mine turned around when I used no grow nutrients or boosters at all, apart from something designed for the roots, for a full week, and after that everything was sound.

image.jpeg Roots are all the way to the bottom of the bucket & taking up about 1/2 gallon of room when I add 2 gallons of nutes the level mark on the drain tube now reads about 1" (26mm) higher she's been a light feeder all along roots are clean & white using gh 3 part flora series nutes about 900 ppm somewhat lower than max ( about 1200ppm) but I don't have a good tds meter yet so I've been mixing nutes @ 75% strength I'm wondering if all that time under the 96 w.of t-5 light might not of been enough light to support the root development just guessing here thanks for you're input as this is turning into a bit of a challenge this plant hates to be topped for sure the crappy light don't do the roots justice

BOOM! Roots! i had the same problem, my roots looked just like that!
Sort out the nitrogen issue, give your roots some treatment and all should be good!
The roots do look spot on but they aren't Captain Birdseyes beard roots!

image.jpegHere is what I mean by Captain Birdseye Beard, she has used all the available space to grow a root zone, its a 25 litre bucket, biggest root zone I have grow .
