A quick update at the crack o dawn hah
Today is day 1 of week 3 of flowering. Girls are flowerimg beautifully and the Am is definitely showing more of her sativa pheno with little more upward stretch while flowering ..... still not bad and not much higher than the rest as ya can see in the pics.
The single shots are of the Bubbleicious then White Widow then amnesia. The through-the-canopy shot is by the amnesia.

Another quick update.
So I freshened up the rest by removing 17.5L from the bottom main res (around 3/4 of the res) and replaced it with a fresh mix of distilled water (reclaimed from my dehumidifier and tested at 0ppm), GH's Calimagic, Diamond Nectar and B Essentials at their recommended dose, and 24 mls of FloraNova BLOOM then little more added to reach final ppm. The final ppm and pH are 1200 and 5.8 respectively.
I do this for two reasons. Mainly, its hard and takes much longer to try to empty out the res completely. Second, I run a live res with beneficial microbes. By keeping some of the old solution, I retain some of those microbes. Also, I keep airstones in all reservoirs which have become covered with a biofilm and now those stones serve as a housing or a res for the microbes which can further repopulate the fresh res and roots.

How's it coming along, Dr? How high above the screen are they now?
Whats up brother ... all is well here ... I see your girls doing well too
The girls are flowering nicely. I was going to update today with a pic etc but figured maybe once a week update is enough since not much is going on other than mmmmm well flowering hah. But since ya asked, I had to snap the pics hah
Its 3.5 weeks of flowering today. The height above the screen ranges from like 6 or so inches by the bubblicious to more like 8 inches by the Amnesia and white widow. The amnesia also has 2 branches that stretched a little more than the rest. The bubbleicious is super bushy n short and most of her flowers are being produced right above the screen so I had to clip some of the fan leaves blocking the lights.
First close up is of the BB then WW then Am.

Oh, man, that looks great. Everything looks healthy and they're just loving the lights. Height wise you're helping me with a good average of what to expect from growth; experience, lighting, strain difference notwithstanding. I have a few branches that are going to stand out, too, I can see it already...

How long do you expect to flower for, looking at these now? Is that something you can tell?

Thanks bro .... breaders' estimates for these strains are in the 60s-70s days so like 8 weeks. I got maybe 5 weeks max ... hopefully not much longer

Hey doc, what nutes are you using? Is your bubblicious taking heavy N? Just wondering. I thought mine was cal deficiency but looking at a couple posts it might be needing more N

Sup bro..thanks for stopping by ... using GH FloraNova bloom and I believe that (plus my calimagic) have enough N for this stage ... but thats what I thought at first but then and after also clipping a couple of leaves from there I realized it was mainly the angle with the HPS right above it too. Also theres a branch in the middle which split a little with a couple leaves there that WERE in fact lighter. ;-)

Quick update
Today is last day of week 3 of flowering (day 21 of flowering) and girls are doing fine. I made a mistake in the previous update. I was supposed tosay 2.5 weeks of flowering.
Most of the upward stretch is done with the amnesia having 4 shoots about 2 inches higher than all as ya can see in the pics.
The ppm is stable around 1250 and pH at 6.1 at the moment. I'd like it to be at 6.0. The top off ppm is reduced to 1000 now and pH at 6.0. And the girls are eating that much everydat and drinking about a gallon aday!
Two canopy shots then singles of the Bubbleicious then White Widow then amnesia. The through the canopy shot showing all the buds in between is by the amnesia. This amnesia is going to yield a lot

Woke up after a stormy night to realize the power was out for 4.5 hours. Although its light off time, the girls had to go for that long without aeraiting the root zone. Thankfully, I caught it all in time ajd turn the power back on and lights on and airpumps etc ... no wilting or any symptoms of any sort of a problem .... girls are fine!
