Week 8: First full week of flower. Sex is showing on all 4 ladies. Canopy is now close to 90% full. Lots of bud sites coming through and stems are thickening. Will need to do some defoliation soon. Kept the lights at the same height but turned the intensity up and added the red spectrum only from an Amazon special LED I wasn't using. Added an "exhale" bag at the beginning of the week. This should get some extra CO2 in the tent and help the plants handle the extra light. No way to measure so trusting it's working. Lastly, I got some Soil Balance Pro by Kind Roots, Mammoth P and Aphrodite's Extraction. Will play around with these to get some additional microbes going. Using Recharge from seed has really created crazy root structure. Literally have roots filling pots to the point they are coming out of the top, bottom and sides. Time to get some more life attached to those roots.

Need input on the growth so far. My node/internode spacing is very tight which has resulted in short and bushy/dense plants. I understand there are several contributing factors to this but how does it impact yield? What to do if my spacing too tight? Should I even be concerned?

obviously you have a good light thats why you have a tight internode space.. tou can try to rise the light if you want them to stretch a bit more, but you’re fine.. i would definitely clean this girl up.. you can for sure remove all the smaller branches that are in shade in the lower parts of the plant.. divide your plant visually in 3 , and remove everything thing in the first 1/3 of the plant.. hope it helps ;)

While watering this week I noticed a fair amount of roots surfacing in all of my plants (pic in week 6 of veg). Is this is a result of healthy rooting or signs of an issue? Leave exposed or cover em up? Inclined to leave as is for oxygen.

I'd cover them up you have fabric pots and if your soil is good you should already should have plenty of aeration. In the past when Iv'e grown in dirt , I like to put a layer of gravel or rocks on the bottoms and tops of the containers. Marbles whatever works but covering up the loose soil with a more solid heavy material is not a bad idea. Keep in mind soil and moisture can be breeding grounds for bacteria and other nasties so I tend to learn towards the idea of covering the medium up whether I'm growing hydro or in dirt. Just some food for thought or one growers opinion but I hope this helps. Your grow is looking great I wish you a bountiful harvest.

Thanks @Weezy1085654. I ended up doing just that. Seem to be bouncing back just fine.

Really interesting grow. Everyone looks really healthy and happy. You're lucky the 4 plants are roughly the same size. Doing netting like that is a pain when all the plants are different. Did you continue to weave the bud stalks through the netting while she was stretching, or did you stop after you flipped the tent?

Thanks for checking out my grow @Quexos. All through Veg they were all right around the same size. I think a lot of that had to do with the scrog net. I wanted as close to a full canopy as possible when going into flower so any stretch was converted to width by weaving through the net. As soon as I flipped I just let them go free. 3 of them are stretching about the same while 1 has barely stretched at all. I'm going to have to lift it up to be level with the others but that's easier said then done now that they are basically fused with the net.

I used to be mad at the sun too. Now I grow weed all through the year.
