Here is the entire canopy in three segments:
I'm not trying to go all out on a limb for AN here, but could Kushie Kush have anything to do with the fact that they're not stretching like crazy? Hmmmm....

They're really starting to power up, but the forest is staying super short. My ambient room temperature is 68f right now. The ac is humming and the compression cycles are spaced nicely apart because of the cool room temp. I think I timed this grow pretty well. It never gets really cold in LA, so the coolest "winter" months are ideal for flowering. I'm starting to think more and more that temperatures play a big part in vertical stretch. The cooler air flow seems to be keeping them short. Of course since I'm an entirely artificial indoor grower, I could be doing this during the hotter months, but it would mean the ac would have to work harder and the power bill would be higher. I think it's all about influencing the indica characteristics to come out through temperature control. In addition to slow stretch, look how indica the leaves look. **Note, I have grown OG Kush varieties exclusively for a while now. So all the OG heads know what I mean by "influencing the indica." I'm actually just starting to gain a firm understanding of it now. And again, the Kushie Kush bloom additive might be helping, too.
A couple of macros.
Yo, Hobgoblit. My ph has been going like this: Rises first few days, drops in the next few days and then levels off and stabilizes, and then starts rising again. Never fails. Like clockwork. That's indicative of a wide range of feeding according to that explanation in your thread.
