I think they are looking pretty nice, especially that Vertigo. Looks like you're nicely back on track.
 
Update - remaining Pics

Here are the re-takes of the pics that didn't come out yesterday.

This one was getting so tall so fast. I was pretty scared to try LST on my first run, but thanks to Big Buddah and his "Dude, it's just a plant" attitude and his posts on the subject, I gave it a whirl.
From now on, all really tall girls get bent over and tied down.

I guess she's the best so far. Good growth, good spacing and takes the nutes very well. Shooting a lot of pistils, but no real pre-flowers. Hopefully, soon. I guess she's about 10-11 in. tall.
Smells like skunk piss.

Both of these are 10 days behind due to the stunting in MG soil as seedlings. Really about day 25 of actual growth.

Day 42 update

Update Day 42 with pics

Hey, hey guys and gals!
Here we go...

Northern Lights Auto

She's about 15in tall, just about as wide. Grows into the light almost every day.
Just started showing flowers this weekend.

60 Day Wonder

She's about 7in tall. Side branching and bud formation is going pretty good, I guess. Seems healthy. I am non plus'd so far.

LST is pretty cool. The main cola is the one on the lower far right. The other bud sites are just shoots off the main stem.
Looks like I have a pre-lockout pH issue starting here. Not sure which element.
Could use a little help diagnosing...
She will need water soon, so I will probably flush with 5 gals. of ph 6.5 water with a half dose of cal-mag, unless you guys advise me differently.

Vertigo

Definite ph issue here with all the leaf twisting going on. I flushed her with 5 gals. of ph 6.5 water on Friday. Run off test at the beginning came up 6.1. Run off test at the end of the flush came up 6.4. We'll see if her leaves uncurl in a day or two. She's about 6in. tall.

Hope you guys are all having a great weekend. Gotta jet and get the yard mowed before it gets too hot!

Peace and love...:peace:

I can see a bit of discoloration on a few leaves on the auto sativa, so you may have a lockout situation. Flushing won't hurt and it seems to have brought your other ones back in line.

Once those leaves curl down like that they probably won't straighten back out. No worry though as long as your pH is good.
 
I had the same problem with the leaves curling a bit because I have a rather big fan so I have it pointed toward the tent and the wind blows back against the girls. But, it sucks the humidity out of the plants (also sucks out used up oxygen) and my room was already very dry so I bought a humidifier and that killed the problem. I have the humidifier on one side, and the fan on the other. It sucks the humid air through the plants then through the fan, back to the plants.... works nice.... the vents maintain the heat and humidity through a controller so its never too hot or humid.

I will read the rest of your thread in a bit, just wanted to try to throw something out there real quick....

now subbed

GG :peace:
 
My humidity usually starts the day around 60%, then drops to 40% by evening. You think that range is okay?
 
Rumor has it 80% is ideal for vegetation and drop it to 45% or so when flowering... should be careful the room is not all foggy though, it should be well ventilated to allow fresh air come in and keep the bulb and hood condensation free for obvious safety reasons.
 
That's a pretty good range on your RH. 60% can be a bit high for later flowering and can increase the chance of mold. But with good circulation within the tent you should be okay.
