Thanks, starke, they're way perked up since I hit a good spot with feeding and temps
I'm going to lift up the smaller plants to even out the canopy and lift the light 6". The hazes are within a foot now.

Good to hear of someone else with a nextlight and getting good results
I could hardly find a nexlight mega grow on youtube or the forums, so here goes.Couple pics from today

Day 29 since flip-major stretch for hazes
Day 29 since flip-major stretch for hazes
The four big, stretchy plants in the tent, Haze x KC and Panama Haze, have Ace's Purple Haze 23 as a parent, which in it's turn is a branch of OldTimer's haze, so a true Haze and a long flowerer. Panama itself has some very tropical phenos, so I expect those to go pretty long, at least 16 weeks. The Haze x KC has that China Yunnan Indica in it that shortens the time. So somewhere around 14 I'm thinking.
I'm going to even out the canopy tomorrow, lift the shorter girls.
Thanks, Funk, appreciate the eye.

Nearing 5 weeks 12/12

Some highlights from day 33 since flip. Hazes have stopped stretching, thank god. Will probably repot the Haze x KC middle back row now that buds are set.
Just watered, looking a bit droopy

Thanks, man, it's beginning to look like it
I've been underfeeding by a bit, so this week they've got some good blasts with lowered N for the Hazes and are looking better for it. I'm going to lift the Malawi x PCK another few inches so her top's at 12" from the light. Since you're running a Next light, throw up a pic of your veggers from time to time if you feel like it

Day 38 under nextlight
Day 38 under nextlight
It's starting to look like the majority of these hybrids, with the exception of OE that has a vietnam black leaning pheno much more sativa than mine, will follow their long flowering parent. Hazes all have only about 12 weeks left 6-10 for the others, I think.
It looks to me that this light will really do its best when it starts to get a little warmer outdoors. It puts off diddly/squat for heat and it's COLD outside at the moment. Best I can do is keep things at minimum 70f, so temps are not getting even to high 70s. Ideal for our hot summers, but right now a little radiant heat wouldn't hurt my feelings or the plant's performance That said, they drink a gallon each every 2 days, no worries, so there's def some transpiration.
Here are a few pics day 38 from flip. They just got fed sensi a +b and some nirvana, with 1/3 strength N for the Hazes. Haze x KC 1 screaming for uppot, which she'll get in 2 days.

Those are gorgeous.
They don't seem like they stretched a whole lot underneath those lights.
What's the area of your tent, 3ftx3ft?

Mornin' and thanks for the kind words, Bona Fortuna
It's actually a 5x5 Secret Jardin tent with the plants occupying a footprint of 4x4 or 4.5x4.5 (7 3-5gallon pots in 4x4 DTW tray). The light fixture itself is 3ftx3ft The trick to keeping the Hazes "small" and reducing flowering time is pot size, I think. Though if you're in coco instead of soil, could get nuts no matter what. I flowered the Hazes when they were like big lettuces and they still stretched 300%
No worries with a scrog, for future reference. They hit 6 weeks since flip yesterday. So a couple of pics day 42
I repotted Haze x KC 1 in 5 gal as she was the worst off of the Hazes. Everyone else is fine in 3 gal. The light green of her leaves is a bit sickly and a bit due to her purple ancestors (purple haze 23 x Kali China, of which many black hashplant phenos). pics are right after repot. Amazing to see only one plant turning pistils as yet. The hazes are all still basically in early flower, while the OE could be done in 4 weeks.

7.5 weeks-light sched change to 11/13
7.5 weeks-light sched change to 11/13
The breeder said (too late) that to avoid stretch and get the Hazes into full flower mode flip to 11/13 from beginning of light change. This I did not know, so as of yesterday they are. Also a lot toastier in there since the heater decided to fix itself. Temps have been low 70s since beginning flower. Now I can roast them if need be. Lotta tropical genes in there.
pH is off so I added compost, a bit of guano and langbeinite to liven up their soil while I get a new pen. I also lifted the chunkier plants (OE, M x PCK and ZAm) a few more inches toward the light, to get their most important parts within the recommended 12-18" for flower.
Here're pics.

Few highlights 9 weeks since flip
Few highlights 9 weeks since flip
Burnt some of the girls pretty good with my "livening up" the soil. Feeding has been quite haphazard and you can tell;0) Just got the new pH pen, they're all getting a pH correcting flush tomorrow.
Still, some nice pics this morning at 63 days since flip. Two plants, Orient Express and Zamaldelica are pushing their last pistils and have started final flush. Another 2 weeks for both probably. Y'all can judge for yourself the hazes
As for the light, the plants in the corners are fat and dense enough to think they're getting enough PAR even in the weakest spots. The chunkiest plants are those farthest from the light, but I'd say they are just flowering according to their genes; fat ones getting fat, lean ones staying lean.
Uber stinky in their part of the house. Here're a few pics.

Found the pollen donor-Zamaldelica down at 66 days
Found the pollen donor-Zamaldelica down at 66 days
Had to take this babe down as she shot a nice round of nanners beginning week 10 and has prolly been for some time now. She could/should have gone another 10-14days to fade and swell. I haven't seen a male part on any other plant, so I'm purty shure the seeds that I see are from her.
Here's her voyage. I'm not disappointed in her yield; weightwise she'll do pretty well after drying. The fem Zamaldelicas take after the New Malawi Killer, which is a many headed spider plant like this one, as compared to the Old MK, which is more columnar.
Her tops were the farthest from the light of any plant for the majority of her life and she did pretty well in the health, yield and crystal departments. No difference in bud density from top to bottom of her relatively short branches.

Some Hazy highlights beginning week 12
Some Hazy highlights beginning week 12
Day 78 since flip this AM. I've had a new PH pen for about ten days and everyone's happier for it.
First two are Haze x Kali China, last to flower and earliest to purple. Next three Malawi x Pakistani Citral Kush.
Next are the two Panama Hazes. They smell identically of old school lemon pot, #2 more chunky and nute hungry than than #1.

122 days of flower, last lady down-retrospective 1/2
122 days of flower, last lady down-retrospective 1/2
Here're a few pics to show a bit how things went. PLants came down at 9.5, 10.5, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.5 weeks (yesterday). Kept me busy over 122 days of flower. I hermied the majority of them with light leaks and timer screw ups, though minimally enough to finish them with few seeds.
A couple of observations; buds are denser than with the Amare, and tho bud growth was not huge because of grower error, I got them to term healthy, taking only the first two plants "early" at 9.5 weeks and 10.5. The first plant taken is the best smoke of all so far
3 gallon pots kept the Hazes manageable, stretching "only" 350%;o) The Panama x Purple Hazes produced branches 3 and 4 feet in length, with big buds up and down the spires. Would be great scrogged.

2/2 - last panama haze - big babe
2/2 - last panama haze - big babe
This foxtail girl was my fav of all the Hazes along with the black Haze x Kali China.
SO, with all the errors in this grow I can't really conclude anything about the light except that it produced very nice flowers (and seeds, lol) at a minimal cost and kept plants pretty healthy over a long period. I'm very happy with the quality of the buds and their terps, but hard to be disappointed with these strains.
Yield is conservatively estimated 22.5 zips or 1.406 lb, depending on last plant, or 638 grams for 650 watt light, which ain't bad for badly treated plants.
