looking good my friend...they do seem a little 'droopy' but that just might be due to when the pictures were taken.. (lights just on..etc..etc..)
Yup..time to get to work again..
Good Luck
Ya they always get droopy after a long day in the sun....
Cheque is in the mail Doc
I Believe most of his pics are taken as lights come off i found that kush strains tend to look droopy after 18 hrs of intense lights then couple hrs later there looking like troopers
My RH during lights off is 65% lights on its only about 45%. I have 2 small humidifiers running in there but they can't keep up. End of January I will have a bad ass humidifier in there that will be able to keep up no problem.
And yes. My girls look droopy like this after a long day in the sun. By the time lights come back on they are all perked up and ready to go.
It's always a good idea to see how much light your plant can take by examining the plants during the lights on period. If, at 16 hours, the plants start to show this, you have gone a bit beyond what you can give them, for whatever reason. Check the leaf temperature regularly, when it rises to close to room temperature they have stopped evaporating and you risk damaging them. An active plant is always a bit cooler than the environment as it cools itself by evaporating.
Thanks for the great tip Wazzup. I have been checking the temps on the leafs highest up in the canopy and closest centre of the light and they are usually around 75-76 degrees, where the room temps are around 79 degrees on average....
If the leaf temps get to high, what do you recommend? Raise lights or turn down wattage?
i believe the main cause of LEd's droppy plants which obviously hasn;t stopped growth was kinda my style of watering what i find when in 5 gallon totes and try to accomplish in this stage of veg is major root growth and best way to create this is in reality less watering running plants little more dryer thus forcing roots to humid area's of soil if you give a plant plenty of water plants root system doesn't;t work like its really suppose to and believe it or not the root system will no get overly huge roots need to search for food and water sources
now LEd is probably in big totes he can resume watering little more now thus stopping the droopyness
i bet LED will mention how much roots are actually in his 5 gallon totes in little over 2 weeks in there

I use blumat teniometers so I know how dry or wet my substrate is, I assumed that they would get enough water 
. But I agree, that could be the case too.
If your plants stop evaporating at the end of the light cycle indeed dim the lamps or hang them a bit higher, and next day cycle keep them that height.

Yes my plants were a little extra droopy as I was trying to dry the soil out for transplant. When I did my transplant today soil was completely dry, but what astonished me was that the whole 5 gallon tote was filled with roots after only 3 weeks of veg!!!! All the soil came out in one big lump. No soil wasted in transplant !!!! LOL!!!!
Plants now have plenty of water from the transplant so they should perk right up now. Can't wait to see how growth goes in the next week!?!

Badass man!! I am going from 0.5L to 5gal this time I think, and then to 20gal. I love hearing your reports on growth!
Thanks everyone
Here are a few pics of the girls after transplant. Droopy in these pics but they have perked up nicely now. Will try and get some good lights off pics tomorrow when I go to feed them and give them there Christmas presents
Merry Christmas everyone. Hope everyone has a great Christmas

Merry Christmas LED and Doc! LED, your plants are lookin great man! Q - What size are those totes, both gallon (I think 30) and W-L-H?
Yes 30 gallons. Length is 30". Width is 20" height is something like 18"
Not much for updates Doc. On the 25th I feed the girls 700ppm. Yesterday I spent some time redoing the training hooks. Stems are getting really hard!!! Almost impossible to bend over without snapping. Lots of time has to be spent twisting stems to get them to soften up.
No pics. Wife forgot camera over at her sisters on the 24th. Probably wont get it back for at least a week!!! Gunna try and convince wife to grab it this weekend??? We shall see.

Excuses Excuses hahahaha its all good bud you just need to spread stems out a little not crazy like you could even use string drill some holes around tote and tie them back higher up in the stem as well i would recomend c resume cropping all tops around 5th day after transplanting and keep doing it now upto 10th day of flower get that screen on as i think your flipping in next week or so might as well get table up and lowered onto plants to help
