OK. Sorry to totally change plans on you guys..... But I changed the method in which I was tying my plants down, and got them even lower to the ground. So it wouldn't be smart to veg them this week, I can get them much bigger. Going to keep it 20/4 for another few days until the tops start developing more.
Here are some photos for you folks.
Day 39 veg (end of the day... starting day 40 veg in a few hours)
Opened up the tent, and really inspected the girls
Removed the crappy ties I decided to try to LST with (they were too small for my favorite zip tie method)..
I found some really nasty cuts on my girls, and we cant have that! I taped it up really good with masking tape after this.. Going to replace the tape tomorrow.
I finally employed my favorite method of using zip ties anchored to the pots, and pulling the main stem down to the soil level.
Marked the side of the tent at 7 inches from soil level... Once we are at 7 inches we will flip to 12/12.
... Now do you guys see why I'm going to hold off on flowering? We can grow some trees!
Top down, light raised.

Tent in grow mode.. (vs. maintenance mode :lol).. cfl turned off for photo
So yeah. I want to push this, that 250w is pretty bright. The screen still has a lot to fill. The plants are happy, and seem to be even more hungry for food. I'm going to feed them again, see how they like it.. and let the new branches get thick.
Stay tuned, this should be fun. Probably some huge colas.. I've never seen this strain grow personally but it seems like a good candidate for some large and strong plants so far.
Oh also, both girls are sexually mature (alternating nodes)... So... nice...
