Please try to aim higher than trimming! No offense to any trimmers, I just find it the most tedious part of the grow.

Right on guys, thanks for the input!
Invictus, that is crazy. I'm really curious how tall mine get when I switch them.

Oh no worries brother,I was just saying I wouldn't mind trimming to start! Not something I would want to do permanently lol

Trimming is tedious, but a good set of headphones and a playlist, it can be fun. Not to mention a zip for 5 hrs work!

Ok, so the first two pics are of a plant that is having some problems.. It's the only one that has any discoloration or real damage at all. Also, the stems are going limp, not the main one but small secondary branches, ten they die!
I would think the other plants would have signs if it was some sort of nutrient problem. I do keep this plant by the heater in my room, do you think it could be heat stress? The heater is blowing right on the spot that's messed up..
I water in a few days so I wanted to get some input and make a call on some nutes! I've been only water this far so I'm sure it's about time! I think their color is starting to even out and look right finally lol. I can't wait to flip the lights! I'm curious what I'll pull off of these. I'd like at least an ounce a plant, but I'm not doing any lst or fimming, just trying to flower fast!
thanks in advance for the input

So I've learned to never point a heater directly on your plants. I wish I had more common sense 
lol. Oh well at least it should recover pretty quick. I'm gonna start some LST and Fimming action tonight and the next watering I'm gonna start feeding these girls!
On a side note, can you guys see my profile pic in my posts? I can't see it from my phone but I can see it in my profile..

So I tied these girls down! I used screws, string and paper clips. It only took about 30 minutes total.
the last pic is of my cat, goose, trying to help
we will see how the girls look tomorrow after they've had some sleep and adjusted to the bending a bit.
In a few days I'll hit them with some food and we will see how much they explode!

Lol I'll have to keep an eye out for that! I wouldn't put it past her that's for sure.

Here are some shots under regular lighting so you guys can see their color!
they are looking pretty adjusted to the bending already. They are so bushy it's crazy,
theres only about an inch ( at the longest distance ) between nodes. One looks quite a bit different,
i think I ended up with 3 of one strain and one of the other.
they are just about due for a watering I think, maybe another day and I'll hit them with a little food.
i finally got a ph meter too. I think they will pick up big time when they get some good ph adjusted
water. I know Denver runs somewhere around 8 so I'm ready to get these girls adjusted!

Also, I'm having a bit of an issue with my light, ( fucking craigslist assholes ! Lol ) sometimes it won't come on with the timer..
its only done it twice so far though, I just unplug and plug it back in to the timer and it's fine.
Anyone know what could make this happen?? It didnt before I plugged my fan into the same timer as my light.
idk if It keeps doing it I'll just leave it on 24/7 and move it to a veg room. I couldn't resell it on craigslist and be a dick.

I figured out my light and fan coming on at the same time was tripping the breaker, so I set them to start a few minutes apart and it has seemed to fix the problem.
I also got a ph meter and checked the water I've been using and it was almost 9! Wow. No wonder they're a little droopy lol.
so I watered and fed today at a nice ph of 7.7. I didn't want to go too low right away and put them into shock. I also think that they still look a little more green than normal so I only fed them magical, super thrive , super thrive b1 and sugar daddy at about 1/4 strength. I just left the bc boost and grow out of the formula from Technaflora. I'll post some pics when they perk up.

Greetings from one CO farmer to another!
I can relate to the ph issues, when I was in Fort Collins my water was a lovely natural 6.8-7, but when I relocated to Denver my water is a miserable 8.5, with around 120ppm dissolved solids.
It looks like they were bummin' on ph issues and heat for a little while, but it sounds like you are on the right track.
Here's a little Elphinstone (Breeder Steve's Sweet Skunk x Appalachia) for some positive vibes.

Right on man, that looks incredible!
I didn't even think about ppm :/ I need to buy a meter for that I suppose! At least I have my PH on track now, they already look a little better one day after a watering with a better ph. The heat issue was just my fault, I burned one plant with my heater lol.
Thanks a lot for the positive vibes, I'll take all of those I can get haha.

Not sure how well you can see from this pic, but they are looking so much better already!
the leaves still have some claw going on, but they're straightening out super fast.
im gonna tie them down a little more tonight and I'll take some more pics.

I switched the girls to 12/12 last night. Here's a few recent pics. They look so much more healthy now that they have a better ph!
