A picture top down of your plants would be helpful in helping to diagnose the issue. Have you fed them any lately?

Thanks Dave,
I have since looked at the soil and it was dry lower down the pot. The videos definitely helped, Cheers!

I have the "kids" on a 19/5 veg cycle O@4:20 Off@11:20
2 have been topped, 2 natural, all are in #10 Grower Pots
they are now receiving 1L per feeding and being allowed to drain out.
I am alternating with a 15-5-5 and water solution, then PH bal water, then a 15-0-0 with 0.0005% Boron, 0.0005% copper, 0.26% Iron, 0.05% Manganese, 0.0007% Moly, 0.0003% Zinc, then PH Bal water...............
The plants have always had a nice deep green to them, most are still that nice deep indica green, will post pics in a few min.
I am thinking that at 40 days (indoor from seed) and 10-12" tall, its time to start the 12/12 flowering to see what they are and get the males (lets hope for the lottery and no males!!!!) outdoors asap. All the stalks are nice and thick/woody with many nodes and new growth.
Any advice on the Flowering? Yea/Nay?
Thanks again!

Im glad you enjoyed the videos. Lots to learn in there. Watch, and rewatch, imo.

Seems you care about what you feed your plants, if you want to know the breakdown of nutrients in ppm, download Hydrobuddy software. Its a great way to help tailor your feed rates.

Your plants look quite healthy. I say go ahead and flower them now. I hope you have a larger flower space for them. You'll still be looking at 3-4 more weeks of vegetative growth until you even enter the stretch phase.

I'm going to have to move them out to one of my sheds real soon (next day or two). When I do that I will put them on 12/12. I still have to line the shed with reflective and run power to it. An hour or two and it should be ready for the kids.

Any advice on nutrients for flowering? I'm thinking of trying some Jungle Juice bloom if I can find any nearby (a couple hrs away from major city). If not, what is a good "stand by", general purpose, I can buy it at the local greenhouse bloom feed? I'm NOT doing this for commercial purpose (obviously), but understandably want to maximize my yield.

Im sure they'll enjoy the move once it happens. Dont be like me and procrastinate though! Things tend to get done a day late or more in my garden most of the time.

If you want to maximize your yield, just try to keep your fan leaves healthy and green for the majority of flowering. No bloom boosters, or any other snake oils that are marketed towards us will do any good if we dont keep our fan leaves healthy.

I dont use any bloom boosters in my garden. I use GH Flora 3 part series @ 5/5/5 and Osmocote CRF to cover the vast majority of my plants nutrient needs. If you switch over to a flower formula its likely to be low on N, and could easily lead to a loss of fan leaves too early, which is likely to lead to reduced yield if that occurs. I try to keep my fan leaves healthy until they're done bulking up and I then reduce feed rates the last couple of weeks until chop.

Over the last few days they have been making huge growth spurts on a daily basis. I seem to be a bit of a procrastinator too, so I best get my rear in gear.
Cheers

Hey Dave,
Another question for you (aren't we newbies annoying!), I have noticed with the plants that two of each (1 topped 1natural) are stretching faster/farther between nodes and with lots of new growth. All are under the same light evenly spaced they were all germinated at the same time. Could this be a precursor to sex?

I dont believe stretch has anything to do with sex. How much your plants stretch is strongly determined by your plants SAR(Shade Avoidance Response). Some plants will simply react more than others. You can manipulate it though with lighting, and spacing to reduce it. If you over-crowd your plants, you can pretty much guarantee it will trigger though.

They finally made the move to a flowering home. Overall dimensions 32dX60wX43h
Should be big enough to finish them off as I'm sure they all aren't females.

Those plants look nice and healthy. I hope you get plenty of girls to fill up your flower cabinet. Best o' luck
