Awesome,,, even tho im still concerned about number 1..
Anyway, let them go to tomm and retest..
It sounds like you may have got the ph settled..
I think the hydroton was still a little dusty and that caused you a bad start..
After this run, you just rinse them in warm water,
and reuse...
I promise you next run you will have a lot better start with both,
and less problems.. It only gets easier after the first run..
Ph is still on a swing - just way less dramatic of a swing! I’m totally dying here - want to see them grow!!! Of course, in a month if I’m battling height issues I’ll be saying, “what the HELL was I thinking?” ... but I just wish I could open the plants up a bit - they are so dense right now that I’m wondering how it will even be possible for buds to form!

when they start to flower all those little stems will stretch usually 2-3x what they are at beginning of flower
as in...say your plant is 12" at the start of flower....when you see pistils starting to form
by the time the plant stops stretching your plant may be 24-36" tall and all that cramped little compact plant will open up

I will show you tomorrow and then again in 2 weeks how this happens as I am flipping my 8" tall clones into flower tomorrow so I will take a picture to show you what they look like
then when stretch is over
we are experimenting as these are my seeds
and F1 hybrid I just finished harvesting seeds of
this is the first run of these seeds ever
a cross of Quin-n-Tonic from La Plata labs with Zipolite Oaxaca landrce from Bodhi

it should be a very strong CBD strain
as the Quin N Tonic is a CBD and the Oaxaca is very low THC higher CBD landrace sativa

I will be sending my finished product to a lab for THC/CBD/Terpine content
so I know how to label these seeds

Wisher hit it right on the dot...
They will stretch 2x to 3x the size, esp when that small...
Well the WF will, not so for sure about the dwc yet..
My clones measure in at about 9" .......
I will prob do some fan leaf removal about 12 nodes high, once ive reached that. Im about 6 to 8 nodes now. I plant to flip them about 18"

the problem lately with the plants I have been running is 18" clones turn into 5' plants and I run out of room
and they just get so leggy at that hight
thats why I am flipping small
gonna see what I can really pull out of small plants
hopefully some 18" solid colas out of these puppies

Yep but I got 5 foot height of grow space.
With 2- 1100 watt hps in hoods
and 2-600 watt hps which I use on each side as side lighting...
So im gonna grow for some size this time...

#1’s ppms areup just the tiniest bit, but her water is down a bit, as is her ph ... I’m gonna let her ride another day or so ... the water level is about 1” below (this appears to be a good thing) the netpot and I see some very fine new roots that all have these little side hairs shooting off from them (the rest are a tangles mess). She also seems a tiny bit taller tonight.

#2 is eating a LOT - down about 60ppms tonight, and her water level is also down. Ph up just .1 ... however, she grew at least 1/2”-3/4” overnight! And her roots are becoming a huge mass.

And ... well ... looks like something new here in the very middle! The start of pistils and trichs????

@cjsbabygirl313
so this is day 1 of flip to flower
I will be switching to 11/13 light cycle
I can post pics once every few days or once a week or what ever you would like to get a clear image of how the bloom process goes and how these will stretch

yeah looks like the one is starting to create flowers
I took a close look earlier this morning and I see quite a few of those same sites throughout #2 So, I’ve done my best to tuck the big fan leaves DOWN to the middle of the plant to expose those potential bud sites (I’m sure they’ll eventually work their way back up, but what can you do *lol*). Doubt I should trim them off since they’re needed for photosynthesis and all ...
