I know it's been kinda quiet, but I've been doing my thing, bringing EC down, letting pH drift up, just letting them get their time in the sun.
I opened up one side and had a good look inside this morning, and it told me that some of the buds did really well while others grew too close to the bulb or a bit spindly. More careful attention to timing when training these girls is going to pay dividends.
There's open space on the trellis, too, both at the top and the bottom in spite of these areas being adjacent to the bulbs and not at all lacking for light. Rather, it's a product of the plant's shape when I put it on the trellis and apparently didn't give it enough time to fill in completely.
Live and learn, eh?

I'm going to try some new camera angles at the harvest party, to see if I can convey the real scale of this beast- it's one thing to talk about how it's big enough to bear hug two thouies- it's quite another to see a six foot tall man dwarfed by the shins to ceiling WALL OF BUDS he's standing in front of...

Okay so the pics look terrible but I hope that there is some idea of how big it is. I've no idea what yield will be; it was recently pointed out that it might be hurting things that my bulbs are over a year old!
Yes that's my face, IDGAF; this is a place called Colorado, where growing your own weed is LEGAL, and this Super Silo is just four plants. I encourage all of you to keep fighting until you enjoy at least as many cannabis rights as we do.

man.. those things look a lil crowded .. no issues tho? thats amazing.. i wana do this ASAP.
Tis a fine line between 'room enough' and 'footprint didn't fill in'.
Tremendously Strain dependant........ Hell Pheno dependant as well.

I'm finding out that this isn't quite such a ticklish feat of timing and rather more a result of careful veg stage management.
Another surprise is that while yield and characteristics are certainly strain dependent, stretch and filling in the canopy are pretty universal.

Your only regret will be not doing it sooner. I'll help as much as I can!
lol I thought that as well.....until I ran a Bubblegum next to a White Russian.
The WR stopped stretching pretty much within a week or two of flip to 12/12......
The Bubblegum continued to stretch for over 3 weeks.......ended up being about 3-4 times the size of the WR.
Result; Both smoke extremely well!!!!!!
By'th'bye, your ladies are looking Great!

I've had something similar happen to mine, but it seemed to me to be more related to their health going into bloom, at least in my case.
When I say the plant's responses are universal, I don't mean that they do what they do on exactly the same schedule. Rather, if you start at about ten weeks out with a healthy vegger, flipping a sativa right away while it's a bit small- or waiting three weeks on a short finisher to let it grow and fill in before the flip both ends up with roughly the same end result. They're both ready in ten weeks at about the same size, the only difference was the lighting schedule.
That's quite a compliment, thank you! I'm gratified to see ongoing progress in both size and quality.
Good food for thought. I hadn't looked at it quite like that.
I don't run that much/many variables. So they kind of get pushed into the 'one size fits all' scenario.

Designing a one size system is relatively easy, simple and inexpensive and can be operated and maintained more easily.
What I do is a form of quixotic masochism, sue me... lol
In all honesty. I should add to my previous post....

Yeah... just throw a few seeds in the ground and piss on them, they'll be awesome weed in a few months, every time, guaranteed!
If I had a nug for every time I've heard some variation of that line, I wouldn't have to grow.
