Saturday 7/29 was the first day the ladies saw a 12 hour dark period. Already there are clear signs of sex and on the 8 Ball, heavy calyx development and pistils. Of course lazy ST continues to bush up and grow slowly and take her time.
74 Days from sprout
56 Days Veg Growth
49 Days on Autopot Feedings at full strength
21 Days under the scrog
5 Days under 12/12 Lighting
Same nutrient solution as last update though I am watching the stretch carefully and at the first sign of the stretch halting, I will be stopping the 6ml/gal MICRO and going straight 9ml/gal BLOOM nutes.
The formula I have been using is as follows for flowering:
Based on 63 day 12/12 Flower Cycle:
Day 1-14
6ml micro
9ml bloom
Day 15-21
6ml micro
9ml bloom
1 tsp./Gal. Kool-Bloom POWDER (ONE FEED,DAY 15!) (edited out late 2011 wait till day 29)
Day 22-28
6ml micro
9ml Bloom
Day 29-35
9ml Bloom
1 tsp./gal. Kool-Bloom POWDER (ONE FEED,DAY 29!)
Day 36-52
9 ml Bloom
(AND ON DAY 36,a 1 tsp./gal Kool-Bloom POWDER Slam!!)
Day 52-63 (Flush)
5.5-6.0 pH h20 at 50 ppm
I continue tucking for another few days, perhaps five max then watch my developing shoots and steer them into screen slots if/where possible. You will note my screen is now close to 90+% full and things seem to be on track…fingers crossed!!

Thanks for the kind observations. Things in the tent are going quite smoothly (knock wood) so far!!! Thanks for taking a look folks.
Yeah I told u there would be no issue filling that scrog, spot on bro! Seems like not a mo too soon either, could've got out of control 
Bumper harvest on its way, cannot see how u won't MAX out that space now mate.

Thanks and thanks for all the observations and advice, very helpful. They both did start to stretch almost immediately and they still are quite a bit, seems like I will get it just about filled. It's only the snail pace of the sweet tooth plant that is really showing a need for a few more inches of stretch.
PS Autopots are The Bomb!!!

Hey,
Just a quick update...
82 Days from sprout
64 Days Veg Growth
57 Days on Autopot Feedings at full strength
29 Days under the scrog
13 Days under 12/12 Lighting
Nothing has changed as far as nutes go but I am a noob in this area (changing to bloom nutes). I wish I was growing auto's so I could just follow @Hansbricks or @HemiSync basic schedule but these are photos.
I am done tucking for the most part and the stems (even the smallish ones) are stiffening up and calyxes are starting to stack on the 8 Ball but the Sweet Tooth is a bit behind and may have a tad more stretch I will need to manage. My schedule/advice is to stop adding the MICRO when the stretch has halted and/or when calyx production is at it's peak. This should be roughly end of week four. I'm on day 13 so I may be rushing it and will just monitor for now.

Sweet Tooth (need a little fill in rear)
