Still stretching but I will count this as start of flowering.
Temps with 400W HPS are ok. 28c and humidity is around 50%. But I had to use two humidifiers because humidity was very low at 30%. Don't know what to do when buds start really forming and fattening as I won't be able to use humidifiers because of high risk of bud rot. I will have to think of something.
Watered with 4.5L of tap water per plant with 10ml of rhizotonic per plant, ph 6.5, 360ppm. The plants drooped for few hours and then started praying. I did get runoff but it was really a few drops. I dont know why they drooped so much. Maybe I should have watered even more slowly.
Main cola on frankenstein is impossible to lst :). I trided to use duct tape to lst her because the wire that I use just slips down and she perks back up, but duct tape didn't work and it also slipped down even though its strong as hell. Im letting her grow this way because I don't want to stress her anymore by bending her every day again and again.

Light LST on both plants. Height of the broken plant is giving me trouble as I tought it would. Since I put the 400W HPS the intensity of the light is too strong for her as she is almost 40cm high with the LST and suppercropped min stem, she is 38cm from the bulb now. I hope she doesn't stretch anymore because im going to have to suppercrop every top and stress her even more. But I look at her as an experiment so it is not a big deal :). She got light bleach on some of the tops closest to the light. I don't expect much from her because she got stressed very bad when I broke the main stem and didn't tape it up good so she is still struggling because main stem has not healed properly.

Turned on small fan and played with the setup and got almost perfect conditions 26c and around 50% humidity but using two humidifiers. They are still stretching. I hope it will stop soon or I will have to go back to 250w bulb. Buds on the frankenstein are starting really form. Plant #2 is lagging behind.

Both plants totally drooped because I waited too long to water. It was a horrible sight :) . Max time between watering is 3 days now. Maybe even less. I will have to look at them closely from now on because they are getting thirsty.
Watered with 4.2L of tap water with 2.5ml rhizotonic, 2.5ml vega, 2.5ml flores, 1.5ml cal/mag, 10ml cannazym. Ph 6.5 ppm 500. Watered just untill runoff appeared then stopped. They both perked up after few hours.

Signs of first deficiency or excess not sure. I have to check it in normal light and not this hps because the color is not very clear. It seems like it is dark blue and/or rusty color spots on middle leaves. Google tells me it can be phosphorous defficiency or excess.

Watered only frankensten 12 hours early then planned, due to phosphorus deficiency. Mixed 5L of tap water with 6ml of terra flores, 13ml pf cannazym and 10ml of canna boost, ph 6.7, ppm 430 - stopped when I saw runoff,
she drank 4L. Im trying to stop spreading of dark blue spots on older leaves that eventually turn to rusty purplish color and leaf starts to die. Good thing I defoliated very lightly so I have few leaves to spare :). They are both still stretching...
18.02.2021 DAY 35 23:00
Watered Plant #2 with 4.5L of tap water, terra flores 7ml, 3.5ml cannazym, 3ml of canna boost, ph 6.7, 460ppm. Measured runoff, ph 5.98, ppm 1300? It seems I have salt buildup so runoff ppm is so high.
They are still stretching but started fattening a bit.
Good luck with it brother, looking at trying some fast buds myself.
Don't know wether to get Orange Sherbert like you or the Jack Herer.
The one you have is supposed to be a monster yielder and heavy THC content
@BOBanMARLIjanovic, Please do my man. I wonder if I can win 'Diary of the Month', if enough people go to my diary to see what not to do ππ
Anyway, best of luck bro
@BOBanMARLIjanovic, Yes i am a bit limited with a open 600w reflector π But tying her down and adjusting lst everyday now. Really explosives growth now in week 4, and early preflower. The for advice broππ±
@SOBIESLAW, could be better but thanks π. I see you are growing orange sherbet also. Good luck and watch out for the stretch if you dont have a lot of vertical space π
