That's it so far, the plant in the back is 25 inches and the front one is 22 inches, they are definitely like a small xmas tree shape and the side chutes are expanding alot more since flowering started. Looks as if they are searching for light. Anyways here is the latest set of shots.

Nice looking plants. I like that you use a fertilized soil. I'm considering this route as well rather than add nutes as I go. I like the tip burn on all your plants. They are getting just as much as they can handle and no more. I am thinking that that is b/c the roots seek out and use nutes as they need it rather than being force fed.
Do you mind reposting your soil mix? I think it is posted somewhere below and I'll ferret it out if needed.
I have an issue with your pics though. Any chance you can post up lower resolution pics? The hires pics take an age for my old 2002 powerPC to load up! Once the iMac line gets a refresh I'll be good to go!
Hey guys thanks for checking em out, I can definitely take some lower res pics for you bigs, Here is my soil mix:
For the first 2 pottings I used something like this:
60% FFOF Soil
20% Miracle grow Perlite
10% Bat Guano
10% Worm Castings
For the second 2 pottings (current 3 gal pots now) I used:
30% FFOF Soil
50% Perlite (forgot the brand name)
15% Bat Guano
5% Worm Castings
But now that I have them repotted in the second set (3 gal pots) I am using the Jack's Classic Bloom Booster 1/4 strength in 1 gallon tap water (make sure you take the pH test after adding nutes I keep mine at around 6.5 since the soil runoff comes out to around 6.2 I am sure the plants are getting what they need. I will have some more pics here in a few.
Day 39, Day 12 of flowering.

One of my clone cuttings is starting to grow roots, I will take some pics soon to share.
So which did you prefer? This run is looking pretty fat.

They both work well without burning the plants. When you repot with the second mixture you will need to water more often which I also like because it gives you more options as far as adding nutes goes, since the fertilizer is natural you can add extra and it won't have any effect on the plants well being in a negative way at all, that's why I prefer using the natural stuff over chemicals. (besides Jack's Classic which is natural, but water soluable)Quote:

Adding the Blossom Booster the last couple of waterings does not seem to burn them at all, and I get to water more often, more waterings = more options, more perlite = more air getting to roots which = better growth, so use more perlite, more perlite never hurts :)
Interesting. I like this approach. You definitely got the results!Quote:

I'm still way way behind building my new room. I have some blocks of time coming up so I'm hoping to move it forward. I'm going to use your mix when I start. I assume you used a seedling mix to get them started?
