I know its only been 3-4 days since last update but i was taking some measurements and relized the 2 biggest of my plants doubled in size since last post they were 5-6 inches tall now they r 10-11 inches tall i dont remember from my last grow if it was the same. I think ill let thes double in size 20-24 inches and then ill flower them ( tryin to get a 4-5 foot plant :bigjoint:) also the bigger one in the dixie cup is only like 1 inch shorter then the two biggest ones in the 2 gallon bags :?:

Nice , i am keep recrods daily but was amazed yesterday two of my plants had doubled in size 6/5 to 11/10. defo better to keep on 24/0 as what you would achieve in 6 weeks you get in 4 and a half no more cost on electric either as you need the same amout of light to get same results so intresting whats a med cert for free weed????

all rt here is the latest update they are really growin fast and they are branching out like crazy youll see in a couple of the pics i have tried super cropping a couple of the plants now and 1 got topped because i bent it too hard when suppercropping it so i just cut it off and then one of my younger ones i went ahead and topped it at the second node to get 4 main colas per Uncle Bens topping technique then i used the cutting for a clone. Ive never cloned before but i wnt to be perpetuial so its time to learn i did like i red to do cut it at an angle then dipped it in some rooting powder made a hole in my soil and stuck it in watered it real good and domed it hope it works although im gonna build a cloner here when i get paid next. I also clipped of the first node growth and burried the stem up past them to promote some more root growth

So when I top my El-neno in seven days I should try cloning the tops by dipping in routing powder and sticking in grow room on 24/0 might have a go at that I have a grow case I made for the seedlings out of an old computer case works fantastic as it doubled as a seed propagator as the top got that hot I just put a plastic container on top filled with clay balls and put my cups with seeds in into it covered with newspaper next day 16 had broken through the soil cheers mate I check that out

well its a month now everythings going good except ive got a little leaf tip burn goin on not sur why but its not too bad so ill just keep an eye on them my oldest 3 are about 18-19 inches tall now 2 of them r showin pre flowers but the one i topped is still just bushin out so not on it yet not sure if my clones are taking yet no roots r coming through the drain holes so ill keep an eye on them for now gettin ready to put a new veg cabinet in ill post some pics when its done.i gave them a half strenth dose of ff grow big (1 tspn per gallon) and a full dose of ff grow big ( 2 tblspn per gallon) im gonna switch my lights to 14/10 feb 1st or 2nd so they will probably start growing faster again. Do you guys think pic 5 and 6 look more indica or sativa pic 7 is the leaf burned tip

That one definitely looks more like an Indicta, but man its tall and not bushy. Watch that one closely IMO. Sub'd.
