LMAO @ this winning grow! Your girls look better than mine. Maybe it's time for me to not give a shit Kitty
Thanks for the backhanded compliments. I'm whelmed. But, seriously, Gradolabs captured the spirit of this grow awfully well. There are, indeed, plenty of places to see Stitch's gear done well. This probably won't be one of them. This is more about answering these questions: "I'm a lazy, cheap, unskilled hobbyist with a hankering for a haze. Could I grow one in the hall closet? Should I?" The answer to the latter is, almost certainly, "No." It's the former question we're working on here.
Ph this week was 5.7 in and 6.4 out. Just as God intended. :howdy:
Temps ranged from 56-99F, humidity from 16-70%.
Girls were both showing sex 11/21. May have happened earlier. Since they're both feminized, I haven't paid much attention.
SCH @ 37 days from 'up'.

In honor of the SCH's puberty, I introduced her to a little light bondage 11/12 - tying her little arms to the bedposts. Today, I went full spread eagle on her. If I can keep the 4 secondary branches that I got by topping her at about the same height as the 4 tertiary branches that are coming off the first node where the middle has opened up, then I'm hoping she won't be able to stretch all 8 branches past my light. If she can...well then I'm screwed.
The Chaze, @ day 32 from 'up', is a round mound of biomass.

The Chaze is about 8" tall today. The SCH is a BDSM influenced 5". That's easily a foot shorter than they would be at this age if grown well [See: any of the grow journals of these strains]. Which is GREAT for me, as all of those grows end with plants at least a foot above my lights. [And those growers all cheated - they used fertilizer.]
I'm assuming a 3x-4x stretch when they go into full flower mode. So my drop dead height is 10". If they aren't in full flower by 10", then I'll need to go 12/12 and induce. I've got about 1m of headroom in the tent, so from 10", a 3x stretch keeps them under the light and (reasonably) pretty while a 4x stretch gets ugly but probably doable. I feel like the SCH is on schedule and would be in full flower by the time she recovered from my various abuses and hit 10", but it looks like I'll have to go 12/12 this week to induce the Chaze. Because of her comparatively happy childhood.
What I don't know could fill the interwebs, but in this specific context what I don't know is: how long to stay on 12/12 before going back to long light, how much stretch to expect from these strains, and when/if that stretch will stop. The last grow (WOS CG and Holy Smoke MG) screwed me when I used the same philosophy outlined above and went 12/12 when they were at 12" - but they just...didn't...stop...stretching. Ended up with a 4', a 5', and a 6' plant. So...if history repeats, I'm screwed here, too.
And reality set in last week and I abandoned any hope of flowering the re-veg girls and killed the MG. There just isn't enough room. Or time. I kept the CG around just for disaster insurance, but it's doomed at this point. Next time I do a photo run, though, I think I'll set aside a year and run 'em twice. The re-veg branching and subsequent yield potential is...well, lets just say it appeals to my greed and sloth.

looking great man there coming along
First, I suppose I should throw in my 
on the recent drama. I find the apparent lack of adult supervision on this site disturbing. If I didn't feel obliged to Stitch to document these testers, I'd probably be gone. But I like to think of myself as a stand up guy [I don't much like to BE a stand up guy, I just like to think of myself as one], so I'll do my best to document this grow and the other beans I have left - either here or elsewhere. I doubt it matters much to Stitch where I post a journal. I'll stick it out here as long as it remains convenient and seems secure, but the next red flag will likely be the last, for me.
More importantly, R.I.P. Bazooka Joe. [See: http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/...SS&s=article_search&google_editors_picks=true ]
Anyway, switched the girls to 12/12 on 11/28. Pulled the emergency backup CG out of the tent the same day, and relegated her to 12/12 in the bathtub under 6 23w CFLs. :cry: The SCH is pushing out pistils like a champ, while the Chaze is still mostly just pre-flowers. Really long pre-flowers, but still... The Chaze is starting to smell a little cheesy, though.
Temps ran from 61-88F, humidity from 20-70%.

Very nice girls you have going looks like you will have a pretty good yield.Now I don't understand what you mean this forum has a lack of adult supervision.I think we have more supervision than almost any other foumr on the internet. Can you explain yourself a little better.Keep in mind that most mods an administrators do this in there spare time and this comes after ther work and family life.I am retired and I can't keep up with all the posts and questions somtimes because I to have other things to take care of. If some people would just quit complaning about trivial bullshit and use this forum for questions and answers about auto flowering canabis we would all be better off,if you know what i mean.
Look, I said my piece because it's an elephant in the room that I felt needed to be addressed. I'm not soliciting opinions here, I'm done talking about it. And if you believed the above, you wouldn't have bothered posting it. IMHO.
