Hey, Hudson. Just a guess here, but I bet the stretching you experienced was due to the denseness of your plants in tight quarters. Probably shoots fighting amongst themselves for light as opposed to typical stretching caused by low lighting or distance. Just a guess.
They look awesome. If they double in height during flower you are going to have a very hard time getting them in and out for our cannaporn.  |

Hey guys,
just a quick update, the plants were looking pretty bad about a week ago, a number of leaves had gone pale all over the plant, some worse than others, stems also turned purple. Initially I upped the grow feed but the yellowing got worse, I then figured it was probably mg or sulphur def so have been adding epsom salts this week (1/4 t-spoon per 1.5 litres of water in with feed and same strength for foliar feed) Things are looking much better now, the colour is slowly coming back.
I'm now about 10 days into 12/12, a couple of days ago I spotted 2 males and chopped them down. The 3 that were left have all shown pistils withing the last 48 hours, i'm happy with 3/5 females 
Of the 4 clones I took 2 of them have rooted, the other two seem ok but still havent shown any roots. The two that are showing roots i think are males  but i cant be sure as i cocked up the labelling One of the rooted ones i've put into my oxypot just as a trial run really so if i kill the clone it dont really matter, it's only been in a couple of days but the it's growing pretty quick  Ive taken a couple more clones a day or two ago, i know these ones are all female  so im gonna put one in the pot as soon as it roots.
Think the only other thing i've done is potted up to 11 litres today, they were pretty rootbound, i think i did it just in time. The tents looking a lot more spacious with two less plants in there, i'm hoping theyre gonna fill up with buds tho soon
I'll get some pics up soon guys. |

I wasn't sure if the stretch was due to the deficiency problem I had as that was around the same time but I think you're probably right cede about it being down to overcrowding. It'll be better next grow when I've not gotta worry about males

Flowering for 15 days
Just noticed some yellowing on the bottom leaves, I just gave plain water last time as id just potted up, figured they're still hungry so fed 1ml grow and 2ml bloom per litre of water.
Here's some more pics |

3 Weeks flowering update
Hey guys, hope all your grows are going great!
I've been away for a couple of days and things have really changed in the garden while i've been away. I checked my veg cab first and the first thing I looked at was my clones in the newly built bubble cloner, it's been going for 5 days I think, with some cuttings i'd taken that had looked like dying while in root riot cubes, well 2 of the 3 have grow roots! I'm really pleased with that coz i've had a lot of problems with clones but i think i'm getting the hang of it eventually
A clone that rooted a couple of weeks ago that had been vegging had grown into the light and had burnt pretty badly and had to be cut back but thats nothing too serious to worry about.
I was a little nervous approaching my flower room, hoping everything would be ok and no crisis was waiting for me. The first thing i noticed was how much the buds had grown, they're really starting to look like buds now
Just one concern is that one of the plants still seems to be having a problem with yellowing bottom leaves still, overall I think it looks pretty healthy and i probably just need to up the feed, i'd be grateful for any advice or opinions, thanks!
Some pics
A newly rooted female ww clone from my bubbler
And a couple of young buds!

Hey man , that just looks like typical yellowing you see when flowering as the plants use up the nitrogen in the leaves. I wouldnet be tooooo worried.
Peace

yeah man, mine did that on the bottom two. they just fell off eventually, and every once in a while I see a new yellow leaf. Only on the bottom of the plant. And it did start happening right after I switched to bloom ferts, cutting back on N.
they are looking great, by the way. |

Hey jesse and bomb, thanks for the reassurance. I've upped the nutes a little and the yellowing seems to have slowed right down.
I know you shouldn't but i've been thinking about the yield. I'll be pleased whatever it is within reason so long as it's a nice smoke but I'd like to think i'd achieve somewhere between 35 and 42 grams per plant. What do you think is that realistic taking into account how my plants look now or am I being optimistic?
Any comments/advice appreciated

Awesome plants, man.
I had chromatic (yellow) leaves through the grow. Like you I added a little N to the bloom nutes. It seems with the stronger light comes faster growing and the plants use up the food from these leaf "factories". By the results of my grow I would consider the yellowing normal.
You should get your expected 1-2 ounces easily. Looking great.

32 days of flowering
Hey thanks shovel, yeah upping the N seems to stopped most of the yellowing, i've backed off the grow nutes and upped the bloom nutes this watering tho, i read too much N can slow flowering so want to make sure i don't overdo it. Most of the leaves i think are looking a nice healthy green, we'll see how they look in a few days, i can always up the N again.
Oh and by the way, you've got a lot more confidence in my yield than i have lol Tho every couple of days i can see they're getting bigger and i'm probably only half way through flowering if they go 9 weeks so i don't think i'll be dissapointed.
Just been up and watered one of the plants the others i'll leave for another day or two. Took a couple of pics while the girl was out. She's got more cola's but they're slimmer than the others, so it'll probably even out in yield i guess. Pruned a couple of the lower buds that i don't think will ever properly develop, wow couldn't believe how sticky they were. I'll trim the leaves off and hopefully i'll get a tester joint or two out of it
Here's some pics.

Just a couple of pics,
One of the clone in the oxypot, not sure if i'm gonna keep as a mom or flower it. (Had a couple hot days and you can see the heat stress showing on the lower leaves)
And another bud shot
