have you thinned out the bottom m8? if, as i expect, you're approaching the end of week 2 @ 12/12, strip the lowest couple of nodes bare, use them for clones. those clones are now automatically monster cropped, by the end of your grow, your babies, kept under a t5 or similar in the meantime, will be ready to go straight in on 12/12 the day your girls come out. i would keep best 5 clones and place them in no. 5 on a dice formation, you could also lst, pinch and top them all when they been rooted and vegging for 2-3 weeks, giving them 3 weeks or so to recover from their surgery and really shoot out some new growth. looking great so far m8, just thought i would throw in my 2 pennies worth..... lol..

p.s. you would be looking at approx 4-6oz+ per plant using the method i suggested for your next one, this time, you should get 2-3 minimum, hard to say as ive never used those nutes, but have used several others with that being the average yield. ie canna, dutch pro (crap, IMO), and even miracle grow in my first grow years ago, (not recommended) lol currently using advanced nutrients line and although there are loads of products and they are not cheap, they are well worth it..... there are many haters on AN out there and maybe with good reason, but for me, they are the bomb, regardless of price, etc.

HAPPY HARVEST!!!!

cloning!!!! ah, it can sometimes feel like a fine art at first but the only way to get it right is trial and error, what works for you m8. i've tried from heat mats for rodents to windowsills and wardrobes with a normal energy saving household bulb. the main thing to remember is they dont need that much light when they are rooting so dont put em too close, even to a T5 flourescent, it'll just encourage more growth than rooting....... this is my way that works for me lol...... in a nutshell, take the top of lowest branch, count down 4 nodes and cut @ 45 degree angle with sharp clean sterile blade, take off bottom shoot, dip straight into clonex or similar rooting hormone and place into rockwool cube/jiffy pellet, etc. < pre-soak rockwool cubes for 12-24 hrs in ph'd water with rooting stimulator of your choice rhizotonic/voodoo juice etc. trim off ends of all formed leaves, apart from showing new growth, it helps with plants transpiration when they have no roots, place them in misted humidity dome and spray them once when they go in. keep an eye on em every day and mist once a day if they need it, if they get droopy to the point of you losing her, just water, same water as you soaked the cubes/jiffy's in, straight onto the stem. i only do that if they look like dying though. otherwise just let em root, get 95-100% success this way.

my pre-soak and first week mix

2ml per litre..... voodoo juice
2ml per litre..... no shock
1ml per litre..... grow A+B


ps. dont get carried away and pot them as soon as you see a root pop out, wait a few days til there are several shooting through, again all this is just MY way but i have no doubt there are far better ways on here, its just finding them lol....
all da best man!

i took 6 super cheese clones 2 days ago, trying them just on bedside table, and windowsill when its not sunny, direct sunlight and they wilt in hours!! interested to see if they take longer than under the prop. light and if yes as i expect, how much longer? quality of the roots when and if they pop? etc. outdside temp about 10-16c at the moment so extra test for them... and me.

also now taken 2 white rhino, 2 white shark and 2 bella donna..... just to throw a few different strains into the mix lol.
