Here are the requested pictures:

They range from 2 - 3 feet with a lot of buds. Flushing today for the next two weeks. I am hoping 10oz dry from them...but we'll see. What do you guys think they will weight when dry?

i think 10oz is pretty close to accurate...

Well, started the flush today...

It feels kinda funny not using any nutes on them...I tested all the distilled water before I applied just to make sure they were at the correct pH. God they are so stinky...and I swear I smelled a hint of lemon on one of em.

Hey guys I decided to take measurements today of the ladies. First, here is a pic of the shortest one I have, Candy:

She is 1 foot 11 inches tall.

The rest:
Queen: 2 feet 1 inch
Sproutling: 2 feet 5 inches
Bambie: 2 feet 7 inches
Princess: 2 feet 8 inches.

They are pretty damn short, but the canopy is even because I used old milk crates w/some adjustments so they can all get the same amount of light.

I don't think I have shown any of you guys a far-away picture of my grow room:

The light is 7 inches from the canopy.

Will update at the end of the week!

Thanks man. What type of ladies you got? I was thinking of also growing a couple of ladies outside while I do my next indoor grow in about a month.

Hey Messy.
Thanks for posting those pics of the whole plants for us to see.
Yeah they're short, but very nasty.
I think you've done really well a keeping them at a manageable height for your space and set up. Well done.
All the best with finishing this grow.
I reckon you'll end up with something like 6 - 7 zips dry. Hope you yield more though.

I don't know...I just let them grow. I did not do any type of trimming except for one plant that I topped to control its height.

Thanks for all the comments. Today I noticed that all of the colas just started getting bigger, fatter, and taller. I think they are starting another phase of vigorous bud growth. This is the plan within the last week: Flushing/watering Wednesday(tomorrow), then another on Sunday, then I am just going to let them just dry up until I harvest next Friday. I am also going to give them 36 hours of total darkness starting Wednesday night once the lights go off.

I will post more pics later today!

Yea, the genetics for this plant keeps them short PLUS I started with a 400w MH right when they sprouted, which kept them from stretching a whole lot. Right now I manage to have the light about 7 - 8 inches from the canopy with the temps staying in the 76-78 range without any type of cooling system in the room, only 1 oscillating fan, a small fan at the bottom, and 70cfm extractor that gets the some heat out. I also leave the closet door open during the day so they get all the fresh co2 that they want. Very good air circulation in there.

Day 52 Flowering: Temps at 78 degrees and humidity at 45%. Took them out to take close-up pictures of their inter-node buds and as well as some nuggets. Some of the lower branches are starting to droop because the buds are getting really heavy.

Bambii:

Queen:

Yeah, I'm a big advocate for vegging with the MH from day one to keep things compact and bushy. Works for me, and sure as shit has worked for you

Yo that is a good grow. I looked through your journal to see if I seen much about the odor or odor control and didnt find anything. How bad has the odor been and is it escaping into the rest of your house? Great job. Will be starting my first grow soon just got my medcard. I am thinking some white widow and some purple one or the other for starting off not sure yet.

Good job.
