On day 11 since turning to 12/12 as far as since showing sex its hard to say since they all sexed it out separately over a 4-5 day period. Anyways it seems to be going good. I'm noticing my tent is a little cramp with the 7 like I said before, which wouldn't be the worst if I had room to put lights lower in the tent but since they haven't all stretched yet there isnt really room. I'm debating if lollipopping might be the best route for me? Anyways here are some pictures of them all in the tent a and a few close ups of the pistols forming. Feel free to comment on them and whether lolipopping is a good idea. I've read some do it before flowering, some do it 2 weeks into flowering, so I am a little unsure on when this is done or if its even worth it and to let them keep stretching a bit to make a little more room. I guess if they all keep growing for another 1 or 2 I could definitely find a way to get a few flowering cfls lower in their, maybe get 2 or 3 42 watt ones evenly dispersed throughout it.

EDIT: I've also noticed that all the red/purple color in the stems has disappeared. If you look up at my first pictures of the pistols showing you can see the dark purplish color showing. I'm contributing this to the bloom nutes especially since it has a lower N which my plants seemed to have too much of while everything else seemed deficient. Damn white widows are picky, makes me wonder if in the future I should mix some veg and bloom nutes together to lower the N ration a bit when I do feed during vegging.

I lollipop a bit, some people will lollipop a 3rd of their plant which is fine for like a sog grow but would be to much in your case. But doing some will help with air flow and concentrate the energy on the areas that are going to produce the most buds. But don't wait to much longer or you will end up taking away time and energy that your plants could be using on the buds.

I'm leaning with your on not lollipopping. I think if I just add a few of the 42 watt 2700k cfls in have them hanging between the plants or lower then then the soil line (to prevent being too close and causing heat burn/stress) that this should help solve get more even distribution and overall help with my yield and quality.
