hey trunk. long time no see. ur babies have done some growing man damn! looking nice. if ur looking at no more than 2 feet then when u top them, there are going to be two new colas. what u can do if they start being to tall is tie those two colas down. topping is a good way of increasing yield. i've tried it for this grow for the first time and i've well pleased with the results.

yeah i was just thinking of doing that tonight when i was going to turn the lights back on, that way they will have another 2 weeks of veg to catch up and make 2 colas. my problem is just i dont know where to cut them to top them, and fiming just looks outa my league for right now. idk i have 6 hours to decide and look things up. but thank you, they have improved from the heat stressed little seedlings they once were.

yeah i may have to flower earlier then 2 weeks, size is a problem for me as i cant raise my light anymore then it is so i got 12 maybe 13 inches left of growing space befor i have to worrie about the tops of the plant being burnt. there about 7 inches now maybe a little more. i think im only going to give them one more full week of veging so around next wednesday im gunna switch bulbs out and start my flowering.

also just made it home befor the lights turned off and i just toped the plant i fimmed the top wasnt looking right to me and the other two i toped are doing great so i figure id just do the same. the last plant tho just wants to be a short bushy palm tree, no matter what i do to it. so im leaveing it be and who knows it may just surprise me.

so they want to grow faster then i thought. i may just end up flowering this weekend. my concern is that tomorrow they get another feeding and should i switch the lights then and feed them all the cool bloom nutes i got, or should i feed them veg one more time and wait till sunday to flower cuz tomorrow they will be at 7ml of sensi two part each pergallon. and all 4 eat one gallon per watering. cuz there all at that 7-8 inch mark and i can only go another inch with them befor i want to flower should i do it tomorrow with a bloom feeding or should i veg feed one more time then switch to flower come sunday? i guess its all my prefrence but im a noob. lol. as for the bloom nutes i got the sensi two part bloom but also yesterday i picked up some bud blood, big bud, and bud candy. so thats what they will be geting for flower. anyway here are some pics i took this morning.

u shud flower whenever u want but i know that it's a good idea to give them VEG nutes until 1 to possibly 2 weeks into flowering. This is because let's say u give them VEG nutes for 2 weeks into flowering. That means that they will be relying on that for NItrogen for 7 to possibly 8 weeks. And anyways, the first 2 weeks ur babies will not be flowering heavily. You can switch the lights whenever u want though. Your plants are growing very fast ;) keep it up

ty for the tip, well i mixed 7ml of sensi grow a&b and 6ml of bud candy to the nutes im going to feed them. i also switched my lights to 12/12 so when they turn on im going to feed them this batch of grow nutes then the next feeding they get will be the sensi bloom a&b, bud candy, and bud blood. they will get that for the first week of flower and then i will replace bud blood with big bud for the rest of flower phaze. as long as they dont grow to much more then double there size i should be ok anymore then that might be pushing it.

ok guys got home from work today and another one showed it was a female, both plants on the right side. the back left plant is a male, started developing balls that looked like grape bunches so i took it out and got rid of it. the front left plant looks like its going to be a female also by the way it only has the one flower like the other two, but it hasent poped hairs yet so i will keep my eye on it and im sure by tomorrow ill know.
