Stalk thickness/ how many colas is too many?

I like those white lights you have under canopy on each side. Are they grow lights or like something you get from home dePOT? If so I might get a couple.

I like them. Bright, but not so bright they burn. Color spectrum looks good on them as well. Can't speak to their longevity yet

I was wondering about the lights too. Mind sharing what all the lights are that you are using?
I have 2 parfact works 1000 angled diagonally with a colofrog 1000 in the middle. The colofrog is dimmed to about 60%. I'm getting 30000 lux pretty consistent across top of canopy. On bottom are the 2 300 watt and the blurple is a best va 1000. It's not quite that powerful when it's only got the bloom switch on though. I'm getting 30000 lux across the bottom of canopy as well. I don't have a spectra meter but from what I've read my Dr meter can provide an idea of what I'm pushing on the plant. Even if the plant is getting double that number it should be able to handle it.

So, I fed her and my other plants a molasses, barley extract and milk shake with Dr Earth's metabolic transformer mixed in. I then drove that into the rootzone by following up with a seaweed, ascorbic acid, fulvic acid, tribus and water mix. (It's national soil microbe appreciation day if you didn't know)...

Ok, so I just peeked in again. It's only been 2 hours since the last photos. I can only show these 2 right now. It was past the other ladies bed times... But check this out!!!!! 2 freaking hours!!!IMG_20220323_233141731.jpgIMG_20220323_233136817.jpgIMG_20220323_233132997.jpgIMG_20220323_233127441.jpgIMG_20220323_233123294.jpg

22 hours later... The difference is visible... Especially on the smaller plants. Their leaf posture is different and the size difference is noticeable. I have been watering midweek with 0-0-17 for some time. The milk is really the only new ingredient. I've never seen such an immediate and vigorous response to anything else I've ever fed a plant. I've become a believer. Last week I only did it on the LA Confidential and was impressed. This week I did all 4 plants. The difference before and after is very visible... Compare the leaf postureIMG_20220324_141119439.jpgIMG_20220324_141123779.jpgIMG_20220324_141131827.jpgIMG_20220324_141137075.jpgIMG_20220324_141200305.jpgIMG_20220324_141204808.jpgIMG_20220324_141212503.jpgIMG_20220324_141218818.jpgIMG_20220324_131249288.jpg

I guess I'm worried because I have so many colas on the LA Confidential. I don't want the buds to turn out fluffy like the big bud strain I did before the skunk berries. Probably, won't happen... I am feeding a lot heavier... But I don't really know
Its all about light power. If its too far away you will get fluffy stuff

Oh, update on the ladies in the tent... The milk and molasses ones. I laid off the milk and their regular food for a week because they looked like they'd had enough of everything. I put them on 12/12 Mon night. I gave them some more milk and molasses wedn but a smaller portion. They're looking good though. Thick, lush. I really thought the haze was, size wise, going to blow the godfather og out of the water but theres really not a great amount of difference... Yet. We'll see how the stretch turns out. The rainbow haze(left) has 4 colas. The godfather(right) has 8.IMG_20220407_170853241.jpgIMG_20220407_170901352.jpgIMG_20220407_170905406.jpgIMG_20220407_170914349.jpgIMG_20220407_170857194.jpg
