The pleasure was mine, Sir Stitch. Thank YOU.
Now that I've had the chance to examine the girls and review the whole grow, I don't think nutes/re-veg was really a major factor in slowing this grow. Now, I respect your opinion immensely and am happy to have gotten your input, but here's my current thinking:
1) If you look at the 12/31 update on page 4, you can see that I've already killed the cola tips somehow. Likely something I did when I went back to long light. Either high temps or lamp too close.
2) They only got 4 "feedings", all after the cola damage was done. 1tsp/gal of
Tiger Bloom 2-8-4 when the SCH started to yellow after the damage, 1/4 tsp/gal of Maxicrop 1-0-4 later that week, and two doses of 1 tsp Bib Bloom .01-.3-.7 in January. They could also have found a pocket of N in my amended soil at any time.
3) The nutes may well have slowed the girls down some and screwed the calyx/leaf ratio some, but they kept putting out bud leaves and never reverted to fan leaves.
4) The secondary buds took over seamlessly, just resulting in 2 or 4 buds at the tip of 4 of the 5 colas. (Apparent in most of the cola pics.)
5) The cola damage stopped the stretch dead in its tracks.
6) The process of recovering from a dead cola tip and starting (for the Chaze) 4 new top buds from secondary buds HAD to set them back. I'm actually impressed that they didn't just give up.
Anyway, while I'm sure that veg nutes in flower may cause your Super Autos to re-veg, and I'm happy to have provided a forum to highlight that issue, in retrospect I don't think that was the major problem with this grow. My problem was much worse and even more easily avoidable. I just burned 'em. Sorry.

Whoa! Thats a lot for a plant done wrong(chaze)! I can only imagine how it will do outside with no pot to limit its roots...
