Day 14 Flowering
Clones seem to be dying. That makes 5 unsuccessful attempts.
I have a total of 4-5 inches of clearance left on the top of the grow chamber before the plants start hitting the glass. This is a bit of a concern, as I've read that vertical growth could continue for another week or two! As soon as I tie a top down, it starts reaching back up to the light, so I tie it down again. Is this going to create an impossible situation for me? Will I have to do something drastic to slow the vertical growth?
Here is a list of the week three nutrients that I'm using...
Sensi Bloom A: 80ml
Sensi Bloom B: 80ml
Big Bud: 160ml
Vita Boost: 90ml
B-52: 151ml
Carboload Liquid: 50ml
Sensizym: 252ml
Total ppm = 1100
My neutral water ppm = 50
Nutrient ppm = 1050

Yah i could tell by the pics of your clones you are doing something wrong. If you clones droop you got air in the stem. Alot of steps have to be taken and if your planning on taking clones again let me know ill put down some guidelines.
Only time will tell about the clearance. I remember about 3 weeks ago i told you to flower!!!! this was the reason why lol. They have a few more days to a week of stretching. Turn off co2 also shut off the hps 6 hours of the day only leaving the cfl on. This will slow growth down for the week.

Day 17 Flowering
Clones are dead. Now I have to start thinking about buying new seeds and starting from scratch. I really like Northern Lights so far. They have been extremely simple to grow, forgiving of mistakes and has produced vigorous amounts of growth. However, I'm leaning towards purchasing 20 Crystal seeds (or "Chrystal") from Nirvana. They are a Northern Lights and White Widow cross. Seems to be exactly the direction I'd like to go.
Here are the pictures I took today of the entire box and buds that are forming. Tying down has been extremely tedious and I'm looking forward to NOT having such excessive amounts of growth next time. I've been turning off the HPS lights 4-6 hours early each night to attempt to slow the growth rate until things naturally slow down.

Quick question....y not just buy some clones...and cut down on the grow time... i mean thats what i did...i dont plan on growing from seed untill i get a mothership and maintain them from there....just a thought...i mean I am pretty sure you could find someone with some clones that you would like to grow....i just posted some pics wi

Why is that?
Smacc, I know someone who will sell me two rooted Crystal clones for $50. They wouldn't be rooted for another 10-14 days. Then I have to clone them successfully 18 times about 2-3 weeks after they rooted. Just don't think this is a good option. Instead, I'll buy 20 Crystal seeds, save the best two seedlings as my mothers, and put the rest in the box. That will cost me about $150 more, but think it's my best option.

Day 21 Flowering
I've turned this grow somewhat SCROG out of necessity (running out of space). Check out the ghetto rigged screen! I'm still worried that the buds are going to grow right into the light. I have about 4 inches of clearance. One drastic solution would be to bend the branches to the point of snapping until it makes a 90 degree angle in the stalk. It would repair itself and continue growing. I've accidentally done this on a couple branches while tying shit down. What do you guys think is the best option here?

Day 25 Flowering
For some reason I've notice the left light in my box burns hotter than the right. All the top buds on the hotter side of the box began to really burn. I had to tye down some and bend others until they broke (still attached). Between the heat and all the snipping and bending, I'm sure these plants have got to be pretty stressed. Probably enough to somewhat effect yeild. Below are new pictures of the jungle and some of the healthy buds forming.
Sensi Bloom A: 90ml
Sensi Bloom B: 90ml
Big Bud: 180ml
Vita Boost: 110ml
B-52: 173ml
Carboload Liquid: 56ml
Sensizym: 288ml

dang man they filled out that box. Are the screens working out good? I would think the stretch should almost be done. They look super healthy. They've grown alot in the past week. Looking good!

Thanks. The screens are doing a decent job at damage control. I think without them it would have been much more difficult to keep the buds from growing into the glass. I've got burned buds as is. I'm hoping they manage to repair themselves.

W1cked,
Thanks. I pretty much just ghetto rigged the screen to hang about 5 inches from the glass as a last ditch effort to keep the tops from burning up. It only filled up so much because I waited so long before switching over to flower. Next time I'll lower the screen (or try no screen at all).
