New Grower First proper grow 2 x Think Different 125w Dual Spec CFL

Hmm I want to update but I can't add pictures through Tapatalk?? I was able to do it yesterday but today I can't add pictures directly from my phone. Odd. Its bad enough Tapatalk won't allow me to see a lot of pictures on this forum. This calls for a 0 star review on the Play store.
 
Day 27

(Tapatalk finally working but still can't view all the pictures on here)

Epsom salt didn't arrive unfortunately so still waiting on it to address the mg deficiency. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow and I'll hold out on watering it. Anyway temps have always been around 26-28 degrees Celsius. Room humidity is constantly around 50-60%.

Also I think it has started flowering as I'm seeing white hairs on all the tops. I could be wrong? I'll upload a picture for you all to help me assess if its flowering or not. If it is I will do one more grow feed with the Epsom's salt and then move on to bloom nutes.

Day 28

Epsom salts arrived. Fed both plants 1.5 litre water with 1.5 ml grow and a teaspoon of Epsoms. Hopefully that will now address the mg deficiency.

Looks like I spoke too soon about flowering as there is still some noticeable vertical growth happening. Noticed this because my hard to access growing medium (because of the huge amount of undergrowth) is now easily accessible. Much easier to water now. So will hold off the bloom nutes a little longer till vertical growth stops and flowering is more visible.

The LST seems to have paid off as its holding its shape nicely. Would love to LST some more but there's no chance of doing it without snapping something now as the stems have hardened. Lol surprised I didn't snap anything off already.

Wish I could add some pics but Tapatalk and this forum don't play well together for some reason.
 
Finally working again. Stupid Tapatalk. Anyway a quick picture...

Day 29

Not much going on today. Bit more vertical growth on both plants as I had to take the lights up one click each on the rope ratchets. The yellowing has very slightly improved but I think it takes a week or so to see the full effects of the Epsom salts. Smells tropical in the grow room. All citrusy/grapefruit sort of smell with a touch of skunk. Some pics for today...

Day 30

Still seeing tiny little stretches of vertical growth. Soil seems to be getting dry so will water with grow feed tomorrow. Yellowing at the bottom is improving daily. Temps varying from 26-30 degrees Celsius. Humidity is between 50-60%. Not much else to report really. A quick top shot and a close-up.

Day 31

Got home quite late today. Opened tent to see wilting plants. Lol missed my scheduled watering. Anyway they've been fed 1.5 litre water with 1.5ml grow. They're perking up again. Yellowing under the canopy still evident from mg deficiency with slight improvement. I think I'll do one more grow feed with the second and final dose of Epsoms and move on to bloom nutes.

Was adjusting the slipknots on the main stem on one of the plants and accidentally took off a small healthy fan leaf lol. Silly me. What was more surprising to see was how much force the main stem is exerting. Not even joking but one of the plants exerted so much pull force on the tie that it's bent one side of my beautiful pot!

Anyway some shots under the canopies just to show you guys how crazily it branched out and to show the yellowing.

Hopefully I'll see some improvement soon for the mg deficiency and hope it recovers well from my bad timing for the feed lol.

I'd just like to add these two plants look like they're drinking 1.5 litre much quicker than before. Before it was like 3-4 days before I had to water again. Now its more like 2-3 days. I might increase the watering to 2 litres per plant or stick with 1.5 litre but water more regularly if my schedule allows it.
 
Looking pretty strong dude!!! Great job on the LST and training!! That stalk looks brolic!!! Does your thermometer say it's 94F in there?!? Or is it 32C?? lol
