Day 28 Flowering: Good afternoon growmies. I hope we are all well and sane while this world silliness plays out.
Here we are at the fun side of growing again. The stretch is well finished and they are now beginning to stack the colas on their long stems.
Six-shooter has remained fairly small and is not a very attractive looking girl at all. lol A bit like the spotty teen about to emerge the butterfly I am hoping !.. She is a really odd looking girl with a scruffy appearance even after a little defol. She looked underwatered in veg a few times too but was not the case. She has a really sticky build up of resin already and smells quite strong of urine.lol I think she will be a late bloomer but not dissapointing.
Strawberry Pie is looking huge and lanky now her stretch has done. Her node lengths are a little wider than I had hoped but I get the impression she will still join them up for some very long colas. Her trich build up has started already and is very productive too. Sticky fingers that smell of sweet fruity candy at the moment. She is around a foot tall with lots of room to swell and get air around her frame too.
Mexican Airline is the star of the bunch right now, she is huge already. Her bud stacking is really beginning to take form and with the size and amount of them, she will be a great yielder. She has filled her space nicely now and will benefit once I harvest some other the other plants i have running. The potential for the two bigger ladies to gain plenty of size is certainly there and without me doing the l.s.t early on in veg , I think they would be very tall plants . The attempt i made to try to tie the 5th node up while the others caught up was beaten by her determination to keep growing it and even after I totally bent and created a knuckle to again try to hold her down , she powered herself through and carried on with her plans for the flowering cycle.... It did help to create a nice crown of Buds though which should fill our rje whole structure of her.
Feeding every 2 days and showing no issues to worry about besides a slight tip burn which is down to the pk warrior strength. A decrease in dilution will sort this quickly.
The Fungus gnats are now under total control , by this I don't meant have started training them to do aerial displays like the "Red Arrows" or fly patrols of the grow room but that they are no longer an issue. Still the odd one of two to keep mindful of but the sticky traps are a help too.
So there we have it for this update. All going well and the harvest date is not so far away now.. Be well and safe.

Amazing grow. I want mine to look more like yours. I have the same light as you. What height/% do you keep it at? I toasted some tips at like 24 inches away from highest point at 75%.
@Shotiie,no par meter needed. toutube the lights and see the par maps that some have done. Mars come up good for their coverage .14 inches above the canopy is the intended measurement. If you get the mains around the same height with l.s.t , by flowering they should roughly be similar heights and grow together so create a flat canopy of bud. if you don't use calmag , then this could be why you have issues too. l.e.d leeches mg from the plant similar to coco so we supplement to keep them balanced .more noticable in flower with rust spots and single leaves being damaged by it.
@Shotiie,in veg i am about 30+ inches above them. seems to keep them happy with no stretchy stems. I have got 10 pots under the sp3000 now , vegging week 3 and the coverage is just about right for them all to get decent par. 5ft X 5ft canopy . Once they hit flower I will add the tsl2000 and drop the lights to around 14 inches. this seems to be ok with no signs of bleaching out or taco leaves in previous grows.
@Darksoul,Thanks Dark. I do like a good fast buds auto and these 3 have had my name on them a while. They do have the Auto grow genetics well defined now and can push some great yields for very little input . have a great day.
