I know you weren't asking me necessarily but mine did not. They were long skinny leaves just as they are now, very sativa looking. My Church plant had leaves that looked like yours though.
funny, i too had a church and SLH going.. the church looked more like my kush plant but lighter green leaves like the SLH.. that plant was eaten 2.5 weeks ago :( this is my SLH topped..

first one is her on aug 25
second - same time, untopped SLH in foreground
third - wide angle shot, sept 11, 12ish ft

i think that it looks awesome, i cant wait to see her finish. FIM or topping is something I should have done more often than just once being how tall they grow! the skunk looks good, too!

thanks, i just dun know whats the major rule in toping and fimming if it would really give me more yield or less yield. so im not sure if i did the right thing in fimming it. how many more days do you think it will finish flowering??

I'd like to have more space and upgrade my light as well but right now my setup is a couple closets I framed up in my garage and I made them as big as I had room to. I probably could've squeezed a few more inches out of one side and then I would've been able to fit a 3'X3' tub in there. I'm not going to tear everything apart now though so I use a tub that measures 24"X44" on the inside and since I'm only using a 400W HPS I don't use the whole 44" of length on it. I keep it to 24"X36" and I rotate the plants on the ends 180 degrees every couple days when I have more than four. Not a problem right now since there's four plants in there but once this run is done I'll have 6-8 small ones in there at a time. I want to see how much I can get from the 400 so I'll veg some clones for a few weeks, stick them all in the flower room at once and see how it goes. If I can get somewhere in the 7-9oz neighborhood I'll be happy and keep things how they are. If not I'll upgrade the light to a 600.

thanks dezracer a 400w. set up can be very rewarding i did 2 dirt grows & 1 bubbleponic with my 400 my 600 & my 1000 i found used & got good deals on it dont matter what you have you take what you got & go for it i now use my 400 for starter plants i clone off whatever im growing & when they get roots i put them in 3x3'' blocks then i put them under the 400 until i harvest all the time my stuff is budding my next grow is vegging it cuts 2 or more weeks off my total grow time & you dont have to keep a mother plant leftover clones go to other grows that my friends are doing

Yeah I've been happy with it so far, just would like to have a 3'X3' tub and a 400 is a little small for that. I'd have to not grow plants near the edges or I'd most likely get air bud I think. It would be nice to have a 600 over a 3'X3' and hopefully things will stay teady enough with work to upgrade at some point. I'll stick with what I have until at least the end of the year though, we'll see...

Picture 018.jpgPicture 017.jpgPicture 016.jpgPicture 013.jpghey dezracer i found my 600 used complete with air cooled hood for $120 home depot has those plastic trays that go under washing machines 27x27 would be just about right for 400w also they have trays used to mix cement in that are about 24x36 i built mine out of a plastic chemical tank that was damaged i sawed one end out & bought a livewell fitting from bass pro shop & a submersible pump from harbor freight concrete yards use those tanks mine was damaged by a forklift i know some people here are down on selling product but i sell a lot of mine &''bud'' has financed my upgrades any how i did 3 grows with my 600w. & saw no significant increase in power bill which averages $130 a month & we have washer dryer freezer & all the other crap it takes to float a household my job is construction related & times arent what they were so my grows have to finance themselves ive been doing this a little over a year now & learning as i go

HYdro 6-27.jpg7-24b.jpgI'm in Construction also so I know what you mean and am familiar with the items you mentioned (I'm a General Contractor and work as a Contractual Superintendent as much as possible). I made the first hydro trays I used but wanted a nice fiberglass one when I decided to change my grow op up a bit so purchased the one I have now from a local hydro shop. I never thought of using the washing machine trays though...Good idea.

These aren't the best pics but you can see what I've been using. It's a big storage tote that I cut down on my table saw that sits on top of a big ice chest. It works great since the ice chest keeps the res temps from fluctuating quickly. I still use the ice chest as a res but now have it under the table and the new tray sits directly above it on the table. This gives me the ability to grow a bit taller plants. The downside is I can now only harvest every 8-10 weeks instead of 4-5. That was the idea though so I'm good with it.

Oh, and my flower room is now lined with sweet ass panels that are covered with mylar...

I need to feed and spray the plants tonight so I'll take a couple current pics of the SLH plant and I'll post them in here tonight or tomorrow.

As a side note, I germ'd some Afgan Kush Fem'd seeds and some regular Raspberry Cough seeds and they're coming along nicely. I started with 3 & 3 but started germinating 2 more Raspberry Cough seeds just in case. I plan on growing them a bit, flowering a clone from each to determine sex and then take a bunch of clones from the best female plants. I'll end up keeping the best 6-8 clones that I'll veg for a few weeks and then put into flower to see just what I can accomplish with the 400.

hey dez i was over on your thread while you was posting on mine [ha ha ] isnt that the way it goes ??? i started a recirculating program tonight,ive been using drain to waste feeding schedule for 3 grows i use gh-hydro nutes you see using rockwool blocks & slabs you only flood 1 time a week & sit on your ass ,watch it grow & harvest when done its that simple gh is the small block chevy of the nutrient world my tds meter is covered in dust i dont use it any more they call this ''the lazy mans hydro'' as you feed & drain your tub & usualy about 2 gals are leftover which i feed my clones & yard plants this way you dont need to maintain a reservoir or the heat,ph,or algae issues either , any way if i can help just ask

I haven't checked out the GH hydro nutes yet but am curious now. I'll have to check into it further since right now I don't really have much time to spend on my grow. I've got a project wrapping up tomorrow, helped wrap one today, have some side work lined up and I've got a dirty little secret that I can't really talk about that made me some money and is now providing a little bit of extra cash each week. The secret is what has made me change up my grow op to simplify it as much as possible as it is ending up taking up more of my time than I thought it would. That's a big part of why I haven't updated my thread in a month.

You'll have to give me some more info on the gh nutes deal.
You mentioned you are in cen-cal, I'm in socal. Probably close enough to consider each other neighbors by internet standards, lol.
