Thanks, guys!
I just gave them their first flush today. I poured three gallons of plain water into each of them followed by another gallon of water with a tablespoon of molasses in it. It took forever to do this for 20 plants. Probably about three hours but I did stop and re-stake some of the plants as well tie up some of the lower branches so they are up and get more light these last two weeks.
I also decided to keep my light cycle at 12/12 for the last two weeks of flowering instead of scaling it back to 10/14 like I did last time. The reason for this is that in a two week period with an extra two hours of light each day, the plants will literally be getting more than two whole extra days worth of light.

I did cut a bunch of clones this time, but I neglected them. I gave them to a friend of mine a few weeks ago. They were in pretty bad shape. I'm going to be purchasing a smaller tent and grow out some mothers next time around to save myself a few weeks between each harvest. I think I'll be all set for a while after I harvest these 20 monsters though.

Dillweed, if you could do it again.. would you go 2x1000W or 3x600W?
Cause I'm planning on starting a bigger grow (like yours) and I'm in between the 2 possibilities..
I'll be checking up to see if you have an answer for me..
Cheers bro,
