Kinda wonder how long they will go being 11.5/12.5. Thinking 21 days on couple 28 more on others.
That one lanky BD that looks like it's haze leaning will likely go longer, maybe 9-10 weeks, but the BR's are rarely more than 8 weeks with that schedule for me. Most of the BR's start browning up the hairs around 4 weeks and I find if they do that, they'll finish within 8 weeks. Only thing is I run the 660nm at the beginning and 730nm initiators at the end, just not sure how much effect the initiators have vs. just the 11.5/12.5 main light cycle in reducing the total cycle time.

Even though I trim and defo all my grows, this one has me bewildered.
I would like your thoughts.
I am at day 16 of 12/12 and have been removing fans only, did a massive defo about a week prior to start of flower.
Thinking removing everything below the 6 or 7 inch mark, all fans and then rearranging the buds to their best positions.

Would like to post a few pics if you don't mind, don't want you to think I am hijacking your very nice thread. I can send them in a private message if you would prefer.

Just now seeing some red hair on the BR. 1- Bd being seeing several days more on lowers than anything. Other 2- BD red hair here there. I know their starting to fall over that’s a good thing lol!

Sure you can post. I would not defo until day 21-22 to get full stretch effect. Just me. I do strip any larf at bottom of plants even it it looks good but not until stretch is over. That way you get max growth. I will defo again at 42 days redo bottom larf small branches. I pick little nugs off that try to comeback on lowers throughout. If their growing so are the big nugs up top

Thanks for allowing me to post these pics, so much easier to show than explain.
Little history, she was taken from her mother on 12/26, day 33 of flower,(see pics below) took a month to re-veg, and was in veg mode under T5's for 15 weeks. On 4/9 I harvested the tent and put her in the tent for the first time under one 315W CMH, added the second 315W a week later.

Her pre flower defo, on 4/22, 12 days from when she was put in the tent.

Here she is 7 days later and finely after much training and pruning she started her flower period on 4/30,

And so began the start of stretch.

Now 15 days later and damn this thing need a trim.
These were taken on 5/15. Lights out. An average of 14 inches of stretch.20180515_205608.jpg 20180515_205625.jpg 20180515_205635.jpg 20180515_205644.jpg

Good news is day 21 is just 4 days away and she will get a major trim. I will spread the trim over a couple of days as not to put her into massive shock.

Never revenged a girl. You did best giving a trim before flip. I have trimmed before flip before. Seems I get lot of immature branches that I defo anyway, so started at dat 22-23 after stretch hasn’t hurt anything at all. With the 315 (which is a great light). No need of having 3 ft branches etc in smaller space they will never fill out 18-20 inches down should be good for dense nugs.

I run 400 watts of 29 gen 7 and still get some larf even with defo. I have yielded a little more than with the 315 in 3x3. No expert at all only been growing couple of years. Sometimes less is best in all phases of grow. I learn something different daily. Have a great one. What strain are you growing?
Clones are going to have to reveg too. I want reveg unless got to. Lol. Time is my factor

Time is a factor here also, but I had originally planned to veg her as a mother, take the massive number of clones she would produce and give to my vet buddies. They got plenty anyway since I kept her.
My G/F who comes every weekend, so she see's the plant like a snapshot, ask me to flower it as she thought it was just so cute as a baby. Godzilla was cute as a baby also.20180205_090442 (2).jpg :smile: So it has taken over my life and I can't wait for her to finish. ;) She has been fun but damn a lot of work.
Another reason is she is good medicine, one pheno out of 9 I took in flower and she was the only one to make it. She is Barneys Farm LSD strain, high THC/1.3% CBD. I use at least 80% of what I grow to make FECO for myself and what I have extra goes to my buds.

This is one cola off one branch.
20180517_083649 (2).jpg
This is the same branch w/o the back drop.
20180517_090015.jpg
These are the stems I am considering removing at day 21, the ones marked in red. The yellow mark is 12 inches from the top of the branch, which we can expect to grow another six to 8 inches or so. So remove all below that mark.
20180517_083649 (3)_LI.jpg

Then stems pointed to in green above are the same ones I left on my last LSD grow which are pointed to in red in the picture below. The yield off that grow was 24 zips for 4 plants and 2.5 zips for a plant that did not produce well at all. That one went straight into the FECO bag.
20180402_140513 (3)_LI.jpg

So thinking that may be the goal of this defo. Shoot for one plus foot cola's and keep her clean.

Keep doing what you doing. You got 24 zips off 4 girls you rocked it. Not sure of your space, wattage, soil, pot size or hydro. I assume soil I did see 315 cmh was in use.

As for keeping it clean I just keep bottom clean and defo at 22 days n 42. Not stripped. My last run was only little over lb. I’m far from expert lol!

4 x 4, two 315W so 630 total Watts, two gallon smart pots, coco, Canna nutes for the most part, I do some subs in nutes.
Yeah it was a good one, 1.18 G/W and have been getting 1 plus G/W most grows, depending on plant count. Most I run is 5 max.
