A couple of things to try to get your plants to finish faster. Increase light distance and reduce light hours. If you've already got big buds on there you really just need them to ripen. Pumping them with light will just encourage more growth and foxtailing. It looks like you may have a variety of phenotypes, maybe not all will turn purple.

@indoorontario, I can't increase light distance for the plants that most need it; I have the light wire wrapped to the top center pole as close as I could manage. The front two plants are on 4" platforms, but the back two plants are partially using them for support; to remove them I'd have to use more yoyo's (which I do have) and spend the time before I could lower them. And they front two are already around 19" from the light which is in theory a reasonable distance. I could reduce intensity of the light. Moving from 290w to 260w would be about a 10% decrease, and might help with the foxtailing that all but one plant is doing. Also, this would help with some burn the back taller two are doing. Even better, it's a trivial amount of time to do. I don't know why I stubbornly avoided dimming the light seeing the taller plants burn a bit.

Really good journal, mainlining seems like the way to go. Good luck in harvest

My last grow is gdp but not make diary. I love this strain so much easy to grow fast great yield and response very well for topping. easy to clone and smell like mint+flower. My best pain killer from serious Herniated disc. I love this strain

Question. did you ever cover the top with more medium when the roots were showing? I’m havig same thing where roots are showing from the stem and curious if I should just add more ?

@Green_Coffee, thank you ! Good luck on the rest of your grow !

@Colorado_cookies, It depends on how much space I've left at the top of the pot. Currently my pots are pretty full, so where I have roots showing, I've just been leaving it. Some of the loose coco/perlite on top gets shoved to the sides during watering, and I'll periodically move some back towards the center (which is primarily where the roots show), but there's not enough to settle, so it slowly gets pushed back out to the sides.

Ugh, I just typed a long rambling update, and it got eaten because I didn't confirm email address yet. Anyways, I'm planning to transpot this weekend. I haven't had time to work on making mini screens to test a scrog vs lst (I like screens attached to the pot (likely the elevator in this case) , to make moving/rotating plants possible, and moving them out of the tent allows the back to be worked with. I think that LST under a screen is much easier/faster not fighting with wires, but the intiial setup is a pain. And if the screen is made of too weak of materials it either doesn't last, or doesn't help train well enough. Mainlined plant seems to far behind the others that I will be amazed if she compares favorably to them in harvest. This might be a crap test, as I'd be ok with a few additional weeks of veg if the total harvest was at least on par with just LST/HST training, as they're more time intensive due to the number of branches.
