Talula day 56 and Sonya day 39
7 days ago I flushed and switched to bloom nutes. It is my understanding that this will cause the vertical growth to slow or stop. Not so with these contrary bitches. Talula went from 11" to 25" and Sonya from 9.5" to 28" in the last week. Lots of stretching between the nodes. Used to be an inch or less, now 4-6". Had to raise the light again. Currently about 7" above Sonya. I can only go up 7" more. The led strip side light sits about 20" above the soil. Up until now I deemed it useless, but I have it on now as the secondary buds are at that level. Still think it would be more useful at 12-15" lower.

The update continues.
Bud sites are swelling a bit and new ones are popping out. I am finding a lot of dead or yellowing leaves near the base of the stem. I assume this is under growth that is dying off for lack of light and is normal. All of the leaves on the tops and sides (with one small exception) are green and healthy looking. The tips on some of Sonya's new growth leaves are yellow. Not sure if this is a slight case of nute burn because there is no browning. Not too concerned because I think I saw the same thing on Talula to a lessor degree a couple of weeks ago and she doesn't show it now.
The soil pH is holding at 6.6-6.8. Just using the bloom spectrum on the led and the side light now so temps have dropped a bit 79-83F. Rh continues to fluctuate 40-65%. The AC will be running more soon so I'm hoping that will come down a bit.
The current daily feed is
800ml1 ml/l GH CaliMagic
1.75 ml/l AN pH perfect Bloom
1.75 ml/l AN pH perfect Micro
1 ml/l Voodoo Juice
1 ml/l Carboload
1 ml/l Big Bud
The buds aren't really swelling yet, but I'm hoping they will soon. Voodoo Juice comes out and B-52 goes into the mix in a few days. A few days after that, Big Bud comes out and Overdrive and Bud Factor X will go in. Hoping for some fat frosty buds!
All in all I think the girls doing well plodding along towards their destiny. But then again, what the feck do I know.
Will add some pics after I go cook and eat. Tex-Mex tonight - one of my favs

Sup with you Faded How many surgeries have ya performed this week dude.
I'm thinking bloom is the bud appetizer, big bud is the salad, overdrive is the main course, and bud factor X is the kick ass dessert. Hope they will have room for dessert, I never do these days. lmao

Yep - my belly is full. Was tasty too. Time for a bowl or three with the misses and maybe some cartoons. Still just a kid at heart - sides they are one of my favorite sleep aids.
