3 days later, and they are looking pretty good, recovering from the transplant, nicely.....

Tomorrow they'll need watered(day 4), and I think I'll have them under the 1000 HPS, by Sunday. I just gotta get my ass busy, and hang that big-ass reflector I bought(The Big Kahuna, from HTG Supply).lol I love that thing, it's huge, MUCH bigger that their Euro reflectors, I've been using with my 600. I can't wait.....

3 days later.....


....And they're really starting to take off, still under the T8's(at less than an inch away) after a good watering, a couple days ago. They're ready for the 1000 HPS, I think, and if I have time tonight, I'll move them over to the flowering room, still on 19/5, for a few more weeks.

Quite a change in only 6 days, huh? Not bad, for Miracle Grow soil, and T8's, which everybody seems to avoid.....lol

Okay, time for my 3 day update.....


.....Still under the T8's, running less than an inch, some 1/2" or closer, and growing pretty well. No ferts yet, but I might include a little Calmag Plus, when I water tonight. I plan on moving them under the 1000 HPS, after watering. I'm curious to see how they react to the change in intensity, and spectrum.

I plan to move them to their final-sized pots, by next weekend, which'll be true 5-gallon buckets. Then I'll veg them for another week or so, before the flip to 12/12. I might wait a little longer though, and do some supercropping, first. It's hard to wait that extra time, but knowing yield will be increased, it's gonna be a tough decision. We'll see.lol For now, here's some pics, taken about 1/2 hour ago.......

Training time....


...it's 2 days later, and time to start training the babies.lol To start, I use something I refer to as "bending", in which the top is bent over and tied to the main stem. It works great, and really sends the side-branching into overdrive. Screw topping, it's crap, compared to this method.lol

After the side branches take off, I plan to supercrop those, making for some nice low bushes, similar to those I've seen in a thread by schwagbag(with impressive results, btw).

I also gave them a foliar feed, just now. I sprayed them heavily(undersides too) with a light mixture of MG fert, and a little bit of epsom salts. I use my regular ferts too, but mix-match a little. MG works great, and I don't give a shit what anybody says about it.lol

Haha, okay, picture time.....

sub'd!
your girls are looking healthy man, can't wait until harvest time

Nice job bro Im subb'd

^Thanks guys, I'm looking to pull 4 ozs each,(dried, of course.lol), so stay tuned, and see if i fail, or not. I'm predicting 12/12 will start in 10-14 days, so it won't be long, til the magic starts to happen....

Subbed! Have you figured out which each strain is? That's just bullshit they didn't separate them.
