Change of plan with the Jack's (again)....I'm going to give J1 a bit more time before tossing.
So just to be evil & cruel (which I so do truly enjoy), I have removed the offending leaves and now have it isolated in the CFL/LED room.
and J2 is back in the HPS room, stuffed in the corner, sitting on a few boxes
I'm going to leave it in the flower room as it obviously not reacting as an auto, so need 12/12 to kick it into flowering mode

Jus my 2cents n Experience on the light times....
I've never ran a timer or a strict on/off time...For example my on/off time for this grow is anywhere from 10-11 am lights on n 10-11 pm off...N that's give or take an hour here n there Either way...Some times they get a lil more dark n some days more light...I try n lean towards more days w longer dark period alotta days she'll get 13+ hours of darkness...I don't think it has to b as strict as alotta ppl may think...

I have played around with the amount of hours on my summer indoor sunshine grows, but generally speaking I do try to keep things as constant as possible, but maybe your're right that we don't really need to be so strict
yeah, the shits not having pic's, as without them the journal is rather boring

You know bottom line we are growing a weed. It just needs light water and food. We've found ways to make it grow faster and bigger, like hydro & specialized feeding (If we really knew the magic feeding system and NPK proportions there would only be one product on the shelf). But generally speaking most killings come from over care. Next would be long term use of a space.

a picture says a thousand words....so I guess I'll have to babble on without pic's
things are going okay but I did fuck up with "C" as it was shorter than the other two, so it was sitting on a cigar box to make it the same height as the others. I didn't notice the little gal stretched a few inches and got burnt by the HPS bulb....not overly bad but not sure how it will impact the outcome of the plant.
As for the fucking Jack's ....J1 is looking healthy again since I removed the infected leaves, but it's just not performing.
It started to preflower Jan 27, so by now it should have small buds forming, but not much is happening
J2 is looking really nice but yet is just not performing as an auto, thus has been in the 12/12 HPS room since Feb 5 and is just starting to show the first sign of a preflower.....time will tell on this one, but I'm not overly confident with it
anyhow....hope i can post pic's soon
cheers

well another update without pic's
as stated above C got slightly burnt, but recovered just fine....no signs of issues, the others are doing good
J1 is now looking not so bad, still skinny but doing okay...it still gets 20/4 and sunshine when available
J2 is forming buds now (still on 12/12 in the HPS room)...and some sunshine
I was worried that J2 was a hermie, but it was just calyx with pistils (I hope)
Hope we get to post pic's soon

D
J1 - the Jack's are damn slow
J2
J1 sitting in the sunshine
J2 in the sunshine
but look at what poor J1 lives in under the HPS....just ain't much room for her, so she has to made do with a cheap seat

updates
B - the tallest of the bunch
C - I had to tie up her "arms" as they were getting to fat to hold up
D - had to add a bamboo pole as it's getting too fat to stay straight ...I like that
now the Jack Herer - J1 is doing okay considering it only gets the LED bulb room (and sunshine, which we have not has much this winter)
J2 is really picking up...this is the healthiest plant of the bunch
So since I tied up C & D, there is more available space for J2....so it's getting more direct HPS light now
and had a few hours of decent sunshine yesterday evening

update on the gals.....I've never had the leaves turn a reddish colour and I'm thinking it may be from the cold weather, as the temps do drop lower than ideal at night..... it has been a cold long winter with limited sunshine....have not had decent sunshine for over a week, and won't be getting better soon.

J2 - this plant is surprising me....doing much better than I predicted
the HPS room
the LED bulbs room (not using CFL anymore)

weekly update:
lots of dying leaves, which does concern me but I'm guessing 2 to 3 weeks to go, so not so worried
B
C
D
the Jack's are doing okay, at least 2 weeks behind the others ^
J1
J2 - just started getting yellow leaves on the bottom.
had some sunshine last evening, first sunshine in quite some time...but only put J1 in the sun

I'm surprized with J2...you had more faith in her than I did....I was thinking of killing both Jack's LOL
J1 won't amount to much, but it's done not so bad for it's limited environment

The gals are looking ready to harvest by next weekend,,,,the trichromes are almost all milky in colour, but no amber yet
B
C
D
and the Jack's - J1 is coming along...still a few weeks to go
and the odd day of sunshine for J1
and J2 which is likely another week behind the other Jack
