Thanks @chuckeye!!!!!
Gonna be a LONG harvest session this year, thankfully I broke down and bought a Centurion trimmer last year, and a Cannatrol this year. Trying to make things a little easier and faster, since work takes so much out of my old ass, LOL. I need any advantage I can get!!!!!!!!!!

Amnesia Auto, Day 35.
Senior moment, forgot to switch to MaxiBloom last watering, she has gone from showing pistils to building buds in two days !
A close up of the top of the Green Crack photo.
She was the one started in a single serving yogurt container, one of two GM Maxi nutrient test subjects and received 1.6g in 3L of water two days ago. Medium feed schedule says 3g/gallon for early veg. I gave the equivalent of 2.1g/gallon.
I was looking for how much is too much and although this isn't a typical nutrient burn it sure isn't vigorous growth.
Perhaps someone familiar with the Maxi series can comment ?
Group shot.
Cheers

You are going to have a tough tough time keeping that poison under 4ft. I have one now that 6'8.

Hope not
So far it is short and squat, barely tall enough to start training after her topping.

Day 37.
The Amnesia Auto was ready for a drink today. She received 4L with 2.1g of MaxiBloom
Note to self, just for reference measure the ppm's !
The canopy is at 18", the two top branches are about 6" long. Call it 24" !
The Double Chocolate is turning into a very nice bush ! Her training is about a week ahead of most of the other girls.
Durban Poison, first LST today. Short and squat and Full. I was tempted to remove a few fans but decided to wait a couple of days !
Green Crack, the larger of the two. First LST.
Lambs Bread, also first LST.
And the smaller of the two Green Cracks. She seems to have pulled through what I thought was a borderline overfeeding !
Training to commence shortly....
Group shot.

A what the heck moment on Day 38
The Double Chocolate is in a 11"W x 9" tall bag, she took 4L with virtually no run off.
The small Green Crack is in a 9"W x 11" tall bag, she took 4L with enough run off to cover the bottom of her 14" saucer.
Same volume of medium but the Double Chocolate is easily twice the plant size...
And remembered to take some readings !
2g/4L of MC was 630 ppm and ph of 7.0
1.6g/4L of MaxiGro was 600 ppm and ph of 7.0
And just now tested the raw water, it was 7.4

Day 40
First up is one of my two Maxi series test subjects, the smaller of the two Green Cracks.
Sadly, I think she has served her purpose and will have to give up her spot
Then the Amnesia Auto can go in the middle and when she's done there will be more room for the remaining four.
Last watering the Green Crack received 1.6g of MaxiGro in 4L of water. PPM was 600 and ph 7.0
I found a site last night that had a ten year long thread with 197 posts on the Maxi series. Seems there were quite a few members feeding 5g/gallon all the way through veg and 7g/gallon all the way through flower
Guess I'm just too used to slowly working my way up !
The Amnesia Auto received 2.2g of MaxiBloom in 4L of water. She does have one bottom yellow leaf so I will up her feed next watering.
This is just before lights out.....
Double Chocolate is the bushiest of the four Sativa's. Will not be long before she needs stakes.
Durban Poison is coming along but still the smallest ?
Green Crack has only been topped. How nice that she conveniently spread herself out !
Lambs Bread

Day 44
How convenient, they all needed watering today !
First up is the Amnesia Auto, she received 3.5g of MaxiBloom in 4 L of water. One bottom leaf is just starting to yellow so I will up the dose next feed.
Her canopy is at ~ 20" and she's 24" across.
Double Chocolate is roughly 20" x 20" .
All the photo's received 3.5g of MC in 4L of water. Actually more like 4.5L and just enough to start to see some run off.
Durban Poison is finally looking as vigorous as I like to see, she has caught up and surpassed the Lambs Bread.
Her canopy is at ~ 16" and 24" wide with very little urging ! I think she was just a light eater and needed a little more time to get her legs under her.
The Green Crack MaxiGro girl is also looking good and hasn't needed hardly any LST to spread her branches.
She received 3.5g of MaxiGro in 4L of water. This is her post watering droop...
Lambs Bread !
The small Green Crack MaxiGro girl. I was concerned there was an interaction going on between whatever remained of her original feeding with MC so I did a 3X flush with the final containing 3g in 4L of MaxiGro.
She also got a hair cut with just the four branches remaining from her topping !
Group shot. The plan is four bamboo sticks each with a hoop or ring of wire about 24" across.
Cheers

Day 47
Feed and hair cut day !
Looking at the pictures now I could have taken a few more bottom leaves but they were in good positions to continue doing their jobs. Just not so tidy, he, he...
I did get around to picking up some bamboo stakes. After diving into trimming I decided to corral the outlying branches together with wire for now. The goal being a 2' x 2' or so footprint.
Later in flower/stretch I will make a cage with the stakes and more wire...
I am planning on using that "cage" to pull down any tops that get out of control !
I don't care to super crop but I've had good results pulling down tops well into flower.
All of the initial tie downs have been removed. The main tops shapes are established.
Amnesia Auto is showing just the teeny tiny bit of leaf tip burn so she received the same amount of MaxiBloom as last feed, 3.5g/4L. Took off some of the lower flowers that won't amount to anything, they are drying for a little test
The Double Chocolate is a little out of control, in a good way ! She was ready for water again after 36 hours !
I gave her 4g/4L of MC again.
The smaller of the two Green Cracks is looking promising, she received 3.5g/4L of MaxiGro.
Lambs Bread seems to be lagging at bit, this is her post water droop ! 3.5g/4L of MC.
BTW > I used to fret over drooping but within a half hour or so they are all back praying.
And only half of them do that...
The other Green Crack on MaxiGro, now @ 4g/4L.
Durban Poison
They say you are supposed to love all your children the same but this girl is the one I am most looking forward to smoking

Quick note !
Day 52, second day of flip to 12/12.
All the girls are on 4g/4L of their respective nutrients and I'm barely stretching watering to three days.
Amnesia Auto's canopy has stabilized @ 20 1/2".
All the other girls have grown 1" in the last 24 hours.
EXCEPT the Double Chocolate, she has grown TWO inches and is @ 30"
The two Green Cracks are just behind @ 24". Durban Poison @ 22", Lambs Bread @ 17".
If she keeps up this behavior I am thinking about topping her 8 main branches....
And still expect to have to tie her down...
Not looking to set any records here, might just be easier to maintain an even canopy.
Cheers

I run blue planet farmers pride with botanicare calmag and a few extras with great results....i always have to add a tad lime to my bales to bring my runoff to 6-6.3. Straight outta the bag i always get 5.6-5.7 which is too low for me...
