Looks healthy as fuck!! What medium you using? And nutrients?
I’m using Black Gold Soil. Using GrowMore 30-10-10 for Veg, Grow-More 0-50-30 for flower. Also use Botanicare CalMag, Dyna-Gro silica, Great White, and used Mykos during transplants. Seeds started in Rapid Rooter Starters

Nice! Im guessing you vegged that plant for about 2.5 months.
how on earth do people keep plants manageable at 2.5 months of veg time?? I gave mine 5 weeks and now I'm faced with a jungle, should've flipped a week sooner. Topped, LST, bent branches, etc....

I've got some soil going I'm going to top again and try my hand at mainlining until the rooms clear out....

Me yes, but I got it after 6 weeks. It was flowering when I got it so it went through re veg right away and after I had it for about 11 weeks I flipped.

Everything was coming off the top of 3 main branches, reveg is crazy

I was able to keep it manageable by it being the only plant in a 5x5 tent (I started it in a 3x3) and it looked like a hot messy bush before the flip......here she was just As I added the screen before the flip before trimming and before I got better lights

I've vegged plants for 2 months several times. Its definitely not preferable, but you find a way when you have to ha...just like anything else.

One of my current is a super shorty, so I’m going to attempt to reveg her after harvest. I had to put her 5 gal pot on top of 1gal pots to get her even with the others. Also going to attempt monstercrop clones on her when I do my last thinning during week 3. Hoping she clones well so I can then use her for breeding. She’s got the same number of nodes as the others, just half as tall.

I don't really see any difference between the buds underneath the LED/UV or the HPS, it seems more phenotype dependant and the frostiness level is the same. I'll probably toss the MH bulbs back in for the last 2 weeks and see what I can get, typically I'm lazy and just run the HPS straight through. If I had cloned em, I wouldn't have known this was going to be the best girl, she was shorter and runtier but made up for it was just thick stacked on buds. The others stretched out 2x as much with really long distance to internodes, probably end up with tons of golfball size buds but supporting them is a pain.

thats the 2nd time in two days that I've now heard of this idea of using an MH for the last two weeks for more trichome production. i'll google it of course, but its just weird that i never heard of it before, and then i hear it twice in two days ha

oh please don't take my word for it 'cause I literally just saw it here as well. I'm running 2 1kw SE HPS with cheap ipower bulbs and some sp250 for side lighting. Flipped on 11/25 so only 2 weeks or so into an 8-9 week flower time.
