White pistals all over now. The one in the .8 gallon airpot is now about 23 inches tall. She's still taller then the rest in the bigger pots. So far pleased with the height. I do not want giant plants. I should of LSTed her but oh well still will make for some primo bud.
So far no real odor. They smelled more when they were younger. I believe the big growth jump is now over and the plant will focus on bud production. Exciting!

Personally, I like the ones with the shorter internodes better, still beautiful plants and they look healthy still too...

Was looking at the graphs for CLW's Solarstorm and the curve for spectrum for flowering seems similar to grow. Wonder if I did start to finish with it on Flower how would a plant do? I was thinking of throwing my 4 autos in the big tent for the 12 hours its on. Any thoughts?

I doubt the auto strains would care but, if anything, they might flower quicker but yield a bit less.

Try it and see... ;)

My other grow I have going on has been about 7 days now and already growing fast. They seem to find the Solarflare favorable.

Just now took some pics. Girls are moving along rapidly now. The tallest is the lanky one shes in a 1 gallon airpot and stands tall right now at 27 inches, the other is 26 and smallest one is 22 23 inches tall. I veged till 8 inches so goes to show you a plant can more then triple in height..why you have to plan accordingly.

My tent stays about 80 degrees and since I am able to control the heat the light is about 10 inches away from the tallest with no issues at all..no heat stress, light bleaching. I hope the tall one fills out with nice colas along the stem. She has plenty of bud sights.

PW, thank you for your excellent journals, I'm sure that CLW appreciates your efforts and so do I. Many growers fail to complete their journals and only a handful are as detailed and and updated as often as yours which helps everyone make important decisions and it also helps grow our forum community here.
