First off imo there is no reason for the 48hours of dark, it just sounds like something to make the plants want to hermie on you. The grow looks good man. I would also suggest going 12/12 until the end. if you want to mess with any timing do 72hrs/dark at the very end (increases thc).

BTW, am I the only one that picked up on your "all of the lights" post? I'll add the next line

clone your girls, stay away from feds, don't do time, save you're bread.

How bad is that break? you could maybe splint it up with wrapping string or something. Were you saying 14 hours light/10 hours dark? I've heard people go 11/13 sometimes 10/14...not the other way.

Plants looking real good besides that break, it has a chance though.

14/12 towards the end fattens the bud also...........a minimum of 9 hours of darkness is needed, and with led's it may be even less

and i love that last line...........lol, yeah no one else caught it

just for the record, i was reading through the bible yesterday.............10/14 towards the end of flowering cycle forces bud to ripen faster
14/10 slows ripening down and buds grow fatter with the extra hour of light

maybe thats why my flowering was almost 10 weeks last grow

Looks really good man. That break is just like supercropping, I bet you'll get one of the fattest buds off of that one :D

Anyways in the long run you won't regret that slight extra veg haha, unless they get too big.

You running 2 LED 240 watt panels? do you even have to worry about temps with those? cause the summer is gonna kill me.

yeah with the two led's my temps are about 10degrees above ambient.....i used cfl's on my last grow an the temps were well in the 100's, after i got the led's my temps dropped about 20degrees and my bud got lots fatter....have u checked out my last grow??

and yeah the extra veg aint gonna hurt at all....and as far as getting to big, that shouldnt be a problem....a lil bushmaster keeps the girls from too tall

i had some bug problems last grow so this time along ive been using a very low dosage of azamax with every reservoir change........i noticed i few very small aphids strolling along tray which mean hundreds if not thousands are already alive and breeding.......i went for a higher dosage of azamax midweek and it seemed to handle the problem......im gonna keep steady with the slightly higher dosage for the next couple weeks
