Starting from seeds

Sopappy I fimmed them, i think you are referring to low topping where you cut the stem rather then a top?

fimmed, ahah, I thought that growth came from a topped 'stem'
I'll have to try that

The theory is cut a top off and 2 take over, low top and all nodes below that will blow up, fimming is cutting the new top in half, it repairs, and 4 new nodes also start and the lower stuff starts blowing up

Did a res change thurs morning, starting with just biostimulants for a couple cycle, then i will add in the elite nutrients

Thanks for that.
Nope, not for me. I don't have the light, they stretch. I top trying to stunt them but I don't see things getting fatter, I see two small branches = one main one. I sure don't double my yield, just spread it out and that makes trimming worse.
okay, other than that, plants look good, fussy eaters

well might i recomed picking up some powerveg blue lights, it will stop the stretch and allow the plant to grow super healthy. When plant stretch they are looking for blue, a specific blue 460nm and that is the exact spectrum powerveg created for t5 super inexpensive and crazy effective.
Here are some more updated pics notics the color Sopappy?
I just planted Crown royal seeds that were soaking for 24 hours in kelp, now they are in root riot plugs.

are you referring to the 460's, they have flower too, tried those?
I'm sorry. There are no Authorized HORTILUX® Retailers near your location.

I don't know why I even bother looking, might as well be living in a friggin' igloo

man it sucks being out of the reach of civilization sometimes, but yes i have 420 and 460 is my veg with uv, then in my flower i have the 660 and 633 with uv. I currently have all t5's in my veg so you can see some reds in a few pics that is the 660 and 633, red in veg helps stimulate roots. maybe you should setup a recieving business for the people that are somewhat near you to receive packages more easily

did a res change, yesterday, gave it a little more biostimulant then usual about .8ec and about .6 ec of nutrients for a total ec of 1.4

and then the lord said let there be light, and there was light. First test of the new light setup getting ready to flip em, i aslo decided to up pot them to 5 gallon for flowering, so i plan on taking the root system in the 2 gallon pot and leave it in there and move the entire 2 gallon pot into the 5 gallon pot giving the roots more room to expand i will veg them for a week under the hps also

here are some more veg updates, also the teen plants i bought are just not good enough to flower, the stem is very thin and extremely hard so i suspect the plant is very old, so i will simply take clones off them. Does anyone have knowledge about flowering small stemmed plants?
