Those are shaping up nicely. I hear ya on the feast or famine workload, hopefully you’ll catch a breath before you get super busy again. Thanks for the update! It’s fascinating to see them grow and develop.

I topped all of them except the 2 Sour Stomper x Forum Stompers a couple of weeks ago. Other than that I had a few branches tied down for a while to spread them out, but these girls didn’t need much training.
I have plenty of pics from the night I topped them, I just haven’t had much time to sort through them. I’ll try to get to that tonight if I can catch some free time.

The stretch is in full force. I raised the grow lights last night and I have to put them up a few more inches again tonight.
This is the closet grow with the 2 ManBearAlienPigs, 1 Samsquanch OG, and 1 Wedding Cake.

These look great. I saw the pictures and wanted to super crop them 
Mine seem to really like that.
If I tag you in to many threads for others looking for advise. let me know please. I am trying to get back on here for an every day deal. But not sure just when that will be

Lol, there were a couple I thought about super cropping, but since most of these strains are first time for me I decided that I’d only do it if it looked like I was going to have height issues.
@Not2SureYet, I’ve found most good quality auto strains handle it fine, but there have been a couple that didn’t appreciate it very much. I think these girls only have a few more days of serious stretching, and all 3 of my grow spaces have at least 84 inches of clearance so hopefully I’ll be good and won’t need to do any late term super cropping, lol.
When I grow in coco, I HAVE to super crop them, even in my closet grow which has a 9 foot ceiling. The difference in plant size between soil and coco is huge. So much so that after a coco grow I go back to soil to reduce the workload for a few months.

@Fishyswaw, luckily I bought this Apogee meter a few years ago before I went broke, lol.

I’m curious if you have compared the readings from your light meter to those from the photone app on an android

I tried, but I wasn’t ever able to get the Photone app working properly. I’m very technologically challenged when it comes to computers and smart phones.

The big girl on the left is Froot by the Foot # 2, and it’s the Samsquanch OG on the right. The FBTF is killing me. Everyone else in the closet is now on a milk crate or half a milk crate to keep the canopy even. I cut a few milk crates in half to help make it easier to level everyone.
The 2 ManBearAlienPigs.
Another shot of the big Froot by the Foot. Here she is back in the closet. She’s still a bit taller than the rest even with them on crates.
And a Birdseye shot of all 4 girls in the closet.
This is Froot by the Foot # 1 on the left, and the ILGM Wedding Cake on the right.
And this is the 2 of them back in the 2 1/2 x 5 tent.

Thanks @WilIy. She’s 51 inches tall, and today was day 33.
I just had an idea when I grabbed the tape measure to check her height. I’m going to order white vinyl number stickers and make something like a growth chart on the wall in the closet and the tents. Then I could get their heights just by looking, instead of grabbing a tape every time.

I have plans to do the exact same thing with mine.

Amazing how big they’ve got in a month. What’s the picture on the door of your tent?

I actually tried to keep these plants on the shorter side because I’m tired of dealing with the height problems. I hit them with more light intensity than normal, but it didn’t work, lol.
I got some of my old Rush banners from over the years hanging on the tents. My friends have been busting my balls for over 30 years because they say my trailer is decorated like a teenage girls bedroom, lol. In some ways I can’t disagree. I love banners, stickers, posters, pins, buttons, Garbage Pail Kids, and anything else I can hang on walls or ceilings!
But the coolest part of my grow room is the cat house I built behind this Rush banner. It serves two important purposes. It’s one of my cats favorite places to hang out, and it blocks the view of my grow room from outside. Anyone who looks in the window will only see cat furniture, which is what you’d see if you look in ANY of my windows, lol. I made it out of parts from some older cat condos I had taken apart.

Garbage Pail kids. I remember those things. You got one hell of a display habit. I’m the same way everything I own is skulls. I’ve got skull everything. I’ve got over 90 skull rings all different. I don’t know what it is about skulls but I love them. If it ain’t a skull it’s Ozzy. Your room is definitely organized. I used to be that organized.

Those are looking really good, cruising right along. Looks like they’re still getting taller especially the FBTF. Which of them is eating the most, FBTF or MBAP’s? You ever have one run up into the lights in the closet yet?
