If you’re trying to finish them faster, give thrm an hour or two longer night than day....myself, i’d want pistils to go on as long as possible....

I'll decide if I need to pull that ripcord at the end of week 8 probably. For now I want maximum photosynthesis!

Nice plants...you’re gonna be happy how those turn out.
Can you stretch them out to sides more...get your sun into the middle more?

Might be able to do a bit. Did a minor trim earlier this week - I think a bit more is in order then it would be easier to spread things out...

It will be worth the effort.

Also - while I'm here - let me summon my good friend @Ibn Vapin to the thread since he has not made an appearance in here yet

And by later this week, I mean this morning. (Hey, it was a *little* later!)
Moved sunrise time up from 7am to 7:30am. Lights off still at 8:20 and pucks off still at 8:30. Probably drop it back another 30 next week.
Long days certainly equating to prolonged bloom time. If I wasn't on a timeline where I need to be done in early June I'd let it coast. With the Gorilla Zkittlez grow starting in the fall I am definitely gonna see how 13.5hrs affects an entire bloom cycle...

I've also been thinking about that upcoming tent arrangement... Maybe instead of one 4-bucket/1-control system I'll do two 2-bucket/1-control systems. I still want to be doing recirc DWC, but doing 2 strains at once would be nice - and since the tent size I'm looking for would be double the cab size, I'd hope to be able to get at least 3/4 of a lb off each plant...

I vote for two 2-bucket systems, and 1+ lbs per plant...

I try to be like Scotty when possible - tell the captain it'll take 8hrs and do it in 4... tell the captain it'll be .75lb and deliver 1.25lb...
Underpromise / overdeliver!

via Imgflip Meme GeneratorPlants looking damn good bro! Waiting eagerly till mine have fattened up like that. Mine are only on week 3 day 1 since flip, so mine won't be so stout yet. I'm really eager to see what kind of yield you're gonna get.

All 3 of you guys are frickin killin it with your grows! Damn it, I may end up having to learn about this hydro stuff and ditch the soil after all...
Steak, they're kicking ass and taking names! It blows my mind how you and OG can keep them so low and producing so much off these little beauties.

Happy Thursday - been taking a staycation this week, getting the garden and yard going now that spring has reached New England. Plants are finally getting orange enough to capture in pictures now at day 40... Still planning a trim and tie session - just waiting for a rainy day where we can't work outside!

Sweet dude. Are those the first dried pistils?

Yeah - taking a long time with the long lights on period. The plants must think it's early fall vs late fall and are behaving as though they have tons of time to develop still. Gonna go to 12.5:11.5 next week and finally down to 12:12 the week after to be able to finish before we break ground on the sun room.
Assuming I still have plenty of supply after the addition is done, I really want to do the Gorilla Zkittlez at 13.5:10.5 for the whole bloom cycle. I'd wager the bloom time would be at least a few weeks longer than prescribed, but I'd also wager the buds would be humongous!
