[QUOTE="SICC";2558540]how are they doin?[/QUOTE]
Not to much report really, Laura is still vegging away. A couple photos for reference about her size. I moved her to the floor in anticipation of the flowering stretch. Looks like she should produce 2-3 main colas. Also a satellite node on the bottom branch, I added the CFL arm lamp I plan to use in the AG grow to this branch, so it has its own dedicated light inches away to encourage vigorous growth and a possible "mini cola". Still waiting for the roots on this girl to hit the res, after the big uprooting, realized this plant is fairly immature by comparison, which could be the blindingly OBVIOUS explanation as to why 12/12 has done nothing to force blooms. I'm going to lengthen the light cycle by one hour through this week, to back to a 16/8 veg light cycle, to encourage some growth in the root zone. Once I see some roots reach to the res then I think it's to start some flowering! Enjoy the photos...
Sorry the quality is kinda shisty... not much going on though, they are bushing finally, no more lean whatsoever, and all growth is strong, no dried/shriveled leaves anymore!!
That is the lamp I added to the lower satellite, AFTER the above photos.

Not much to share at this point in time.. Plants look about the same as they did in the photo.. that lower node I mentioned is STRONG!! I guess the little personal lamp is exactly what I needed I think I can safely assume to expect a nice nug out of that node, the branch isn't near strong enough to support a "mini-cola". Another branch nearby that is slowly creeping towards the light. I have high hopes for an AWESOME harvest on this plant. Looks like it could be awhile though, still no pre-flower anywhere to be seen on the young lady. Guess she has more growing to do still, hopefully soon through, about 4 or 5 more inches in height and she will be about what I hoped for before flowering. Although she has about 8-10 inches before she's anywhere close to the main CFL hood. (Which by the way is hanging as low as the length chain I have will allow). Node spacing is decent though, given all the CFL's scattered around here, the overhead just gives her something to reach up for later during flower.
That's all for now, I'd post photos, but not much to see. Hope everyone else's grows are going well!

Thank you MrAlex. Laura looks lovely standing tall and "strong". (she has a bit of a lean, more root development would help.. more on that in like two seconds) The main shoots are growing nice and strong. Not much to report, just wanted to keep people interested.
I added a 4" ActiveAqua Air Stone Disc, connected to Top Fin XP-60 air pump. Does an AWESOME job aerating the solution. I'm anticipating some explosive growth once the roots hit the res! (I'm guessing about 3 days)
Also new!! My pH and TDS meters came in the mail yesterday. After calibrating them I was able to make the switch from Flora Series, to the FloraNova. I'm using FloraNova Grow and Floralicious Grow currently. All balanced around 5.9 pH and 1280 ppm. Exciting times are ahead!!

Went in for my daily check of the lady, and to my surprise clusters upon clusters of white hairs!! The two tops are pretty well furry up top now!! I did a res change on friday to more veg nutes.. I guess i'll be doing up a transition batch tomorrow, and then by the weekend have full bloom nutrients? Any thoughts on what to do about my nutes at this point??
Photos coming soon!!!
OH HAPPY DAY!!

Congratulations!!!
Yeah! Dump your res, clean everything and fill it up with Bloom nutes...
There is no NEED to do a transition...
You may, if YOU WANT TO... but it is absolutely not necessary...
Just my opinion...

Thanks bro! The discs i believe were 20 bucks tops. Not much more than the average "bubble wall" stones, the long stick style air stones. It does an amazing job, almost creates a fountain effect it bubbles so much. Definitely worth the purchase.

Here they are.. the long awaited bud (child) porn. Haha the flowers are very young. But here they are..
Mostly just close ups as proof they are females. They haven't begun to fatten up, so not much to see just yet...
First ONE of the tops...
Can you spot the little white hairs??
Maybe you can here...
Look towards the middle of the photo
Mmm there they are...
So what do you think? Haha, I know not much to see, but in about a week should be more exciting. Also preview my soon to be avatar below...

SICC said:Looks great man, cant wait to see her in full bloom
Thanks SICC! I'm pretty pumped myself. It gets hairier by the hour. Considering FloraNectar by GH later on anybody heard anything?
caddyluck said:Sup Shack! good job man, can't wait to see some pretty flowers
Thanks caddyluck, and welcome to the thread! Always nice to have a new reader/personality. Check out my AG grow in my signature
GypsyBush said:nice dude!
Good to see progress
Thank you Gypsy, your help during veg was GREATLY appreciated. Look forward to your advice during flower and through to harvest.
MrAlex said:
Yeahhhhhhh!! Its pretty damn furry for sure. I'll be sure to drop by your thread.
So what has anyone heard of GH FloraNectar products?? (either "flavor" i guess)
