Psst... sup guys... anyone kickin? Back again... this time I decided to keep it real simple and just did a simple LST with a single tie down of each plant at a nice young age... then later on I lost my stunted herijuana plant to hermying, so I closed the gap in the canopy (it was in the middle) by pulling the main colas of the four remaining plants into the center space together. That is the extent of the training this time. No topping at all. Went for the other extreme end of the training spectrum, since I did the top-and-train-heavy mainlining method last time.
Anyway, a few details...
From seeds:
-1 Cinderella 99 feminized
-2 Sannie's Kolossus
-1 freebie Northern Lights X Northern Lights from Sea Of Seeds
Medium:
-A simple worm castings, peat moss, perlite, and lime mix, with a good dose of compost tossed in as well to supplement.
(3 gal, smart pots)
Nutes:
-Earth Juice organic liquids (Grow, Bloom, Catalyst primarily, adding microblast and meta-k once during veg and once during flower)
Lights:
LED: GrowNorthern ms0006 overhead
T5: Two 4-bulb 48" banks, one on each side. (Flora Suns, Coral Waves, and proprietary 660 bulbs)
Vegged long enough to get a good few inches for the first LST, got them comfortable in their new positions, then flipped to 12/12.
Obviously I did not upkeep an account here throughout, but I thought I'd throw these up as I've come into the home run and the exciting part... I'm amazed at how much they bulked up over the last week alone... seed guidelines state about 2-3 weeks left for all four... not sure I buy it on that Kolossus that still has all white hairs somehow...!
Anyway, here's what I've got so far at two days past 7 weeks... this is (I believe) my fifth grow so far and I think these are the healthiest I've kept a batch of plants so far, at least this far into flowering. Pretty happy with the results so far. The next 2-3 weeks will tell all though.
Pictures I took... gonna try to find a way to diffuse lighting so that I can take better shots during the next couple weeks. In the mean time...
Here's a slideshow of all the pics:

looking forward to seeing how much more they bulk up over the next 2-3 weeks...
