New update, unfortunately no pre flowers still and I just discovered on the underside of two leaves that I had a group of whiteflies :( so not cool.... So what's the best way of stopping this right in its tracks before it becomes a bigger problem?
Thats unfortunate my friend. But i have not a clue about white flies. Those babies look nice though. Maybe plucking the leaf?

Yea they were on two of the leaves and I plucked them, I got to hurry and lollipop some more cause there's a lot of underbrush. I'm hoping to find a solution quick for the whiteflies I read one person uses a hydrogen peroxide solution

So today is August 13th
13 days since flower switch and no sign of preflowers.
Plants are definitely stretching tho! Feel like they are getting overcrowded and I actually raised my light to just below the carbon filter.... So might run into crowding problems in the future when their budding... If they ever start budding! Lol :wall:
Two nights ago I did a little bit of trimming again but not too much...
I'm thinking of flushing out my nutes for a week because not next week, but on week 4 I'm supposed to add bud XL to the nute mix
Also I go today to buy some hydrogen peroxide hopefully it'll kill the white fly eggs. It's still not a biggie but better to tackle it now rather than later

August 18th!

18 days since switch and same thing as before, plants are stretching like a biiiiitch! No preflowers yet but I've received a wise gem of wisdom- just exercise patience ;)

I have to mention that in all my previous weeks I topped off my nute water with more nute water, but this week, in hopes of fighting off some of the stretching I been topping off with PHd water. Next week I'll be back on the same schedule when Bud XL is added to the mix.

The other thing I gotta note is that I need to get a stronger fan, maybe a box fan, cause this puny little clip on aint doin shiiiit

I did the peroxide spray twice, removed some lower growth especially where there were visible eggs and some dead/ dying leaves and it appears that my whitefly problem is pretty much handled! Will still keep it monitored just in case, but I'm pretty happy to say that I may have nipped that in the bud (soon to be bud ;) )

Maybe the trimming so close to flower triggered a shock or a delay. It happened to me when i cut clones the day before flowering
It could be a possibility. But I did leave the back two un trimmed and they haven't done anything either hmmm... I been plucking dying leaves as well in hopes that it won't attract more pests but maybe the plant stops it's thing to mend these small wounds. I did do a bit of searching tho and some people say preflowers or little bud sites don't happen until after the stretch, whether it's true or not only time will tell my friend

Those babies look nice! That room is going to be filled with tops!:weed:
I'm trying to get like your flower room lol :lol: but shiiiiiii let me finally tell you!! After 20/21 days since the switch I finally have my first signs of preflowers on one of my girls :blsmoke: so it's only gonna get better from here, I do have a quick question tho, when they start pre flowering does that mean they'll stop stretching and start growing only flowers? Or are they gonna keep growing more? I had to raise my carbon filter almost to the top of the tent last night and I raised my lights again, I got some more room to move for the lights but it's getting crazy in the tent! So I need to start brainstorming ways of keeping the ladies down.. I do got the scrog net I didn't use, it's not formatted for my size tent but I don't wanna top them to stunt growth if I don't need to especially now since it's gonna start getting delicate

Finally some preflowers, jeez i was getting worried for ya! In my experience once the stretch stops its very minimal lateral growth from there. Towards the last few weeks they should put on more weight. I just put an inline fan and finally made an exhaust for my flower room. High temps were killing me in there and the plants hated it lol

I was getting worried too :O now I just got to wait for the other plants to start flowering but it's a great sign indeed! I start tonight with my bud XL too, I topped off with some PHd water last night, but tonight I'll make a batch of nute water with the bud XL (it's magnesium I believe) also I got "shooting powder" which is P but I just got to check the feeding schedule if I'm supposed to start adding that in small amounts or to hold off. As far as the fan and temps go it's a good idea! My temps are hitting about 86 now in the tent at the hottest part of the day, but I don't seem to be running into any issues. It was more in July that it was hotter but temps here been low 80s high 70s for a while now so it's cool

Girls are looking good!! Quick question ... you have 5 3590's in your 80 x 150 tent. I will be building a permanent flower room but it will be about 92 x 92 ( not trying to do anything big and fantastic ). I will be getting a @Growmau5 kit as well. The one I was looking at had 4 COBs in it and I was going to configure it into a square roughly 46 x 46. How happy are you with the coverage of your lights? Do you think four lights will be enough for my room size? Jeesh, I'm so jealous of you guys!!

Haha thanks man, yea this is my first indoor and so far everything is going really well I'm very happy with the Crees and that build your own light bar video on YouTube makes building super simple! I believe 92x92 cm is around 3x3ft? So yea a 4 COB square should be perfect for that tent size man. My lights are perfect for my room size! If I wanna boost my yield tho just add on more lights, but talkin around the forums I could expect somewhere between 200-300 grams this run. getting a bit ambitious but I would like to try out those infrareds and ultraviolets too :cool:

Think tomorrow or thursdsy Imma do some more nute water tho. I'm at the home stretch in terms of the stretch :D I'm running out of headspace fast lol, so we gonna see what's up

Hey guys quick update, I just raised my lights again, and in an attempt to fight the growth I decided to put in a scrog net, I don't know how effective it will be since I believe your supposed to be doing all your tucking in the veg stage and early flowering... But fuck it we'll see how it goes 26 days after the flip. If it doesn't work out the way I want it to, I'll cut the net out and just get some regular string and tie the the taller shoots down. Buuuuut if it does work and I get an even canopy, iis it possible to do a bunch of lollipopping? Starting to get lower growth that's not receiving enough light penetration. by the way, all my photos now will be from my chest up cause there's no room lower and I'm tall as shit lol.
