Thank you! My best run yet. Running low on vertical room, though, so I want them to slow down! 
Mephisto Genetics GGG4!

Girls are doing great, aside from very slight yellowing at the tips. I'll stop feeding nitrogen now and just watch and wait. They should be good to go until the end with just plain water IMO. At most I'll give them a little phosphorous, but they probably have enough as is.
The Brooklyn Sunrise is very sativa dominant, and is taller with lighter-colored leaves than the other plants in the tent. All plants are budding now, but the two burnt GGG4s are just showing preflowers and just starting their stretch.
EDIT: Turns out yellow tips without the signs of excess N (too green, leaf tip curl) indicates excess P or K. I've been feeding a fair bit of P and K recently. I'll stop feeding now until they show me they need something. Next time round I'll only feed if needed.
I hit all of the girls with a weak solution of bloom booster today before I learned yellow tips without the extra green/clawing wasn't an N issue. The burn is very minor, since I feed very weak solutions, but I'm still a little mad at myself for feeding too much. I have done this on all but one of my runs. Hopefully they keep on chugging. They're filling out nicely now.

Girls doing well: lots of bud sites. The tip burn has stopped in its tracks. Since the Brooklyn Sunrise is so tall, I moved the HPS toward the opposite corner. This gives all of the girls an equal amount of light, and I've tilted the HPS a little toward the BK Sunrise and the GGG4 next to it. I had the light 14" above the BK Sunrise, but that meant everything else was getting less than ideal amounts of light. Now everything is much more equal.
I also changed bulbs out for a GE Lucalox X-Tra Output. It puts out around 20% more lumens than my old bulb. Money well spent if I even get a few more grams of yield!

Took the plants out of the tent today to remove some yellowing leaves that aren't getting enough light through the dense canopy. I took one of the GGG4 girls out about 10 days ago and it went all floppy since it was used to the support of the plant next to it. It could support itself by the next day, which impressed me greatly.
Well, the GGG4 in the back right corner of the tent hadn't been removed from the tent yet, so when I took it out, many of the long stems ended up going all floppy on me since it was used to the support from the tent! I had to lash six or seven stems to the main stalk with paracord. Hopefully it will recover well and be able to support itself without the paracord. I'll take it out of the tent again tomorrow to see if the stems can support themselves now that they realize they need to be able to hold themselves up!
The BK Sunrise has barely any pistils and just continues to s t r e t c h vertically. Right now it looks to be at the same flowering stage as the two GGG4s that just showed pistils five days ago! That might work out if it finishes at the same time as those smaller girls, since the other plants in the tent are a bit further ahead.
I'm not really a fan of Dutch Passion right now. I tried their Auto White Widow and got three very different phenos. One good plant, one smaller (but good) one and a super leggy sativa with a poor leaf-to-calyx ratio and low potency. The genetics seem to be all over the place in their autos, perhaps indicating poor breeding practices.
The Mephisto GGG4, on the other hand, is much more uniform across four plants. I'm impressed! Flash Seeds is good too, and I grew some JET-47 that totally blew my head off. I don't think I'll buy any Dutch Passion autos again as I'm tired of the surprise phenos that seem to pop up in their beans.

Looking nice an packed
Thanks, this is the first time I've really packed my tent like this!
Removed the paracord ties and the plant is able to support itself pretty well, aside from a few outside branches that are resting on the tent. Hopefully they upright themselves quickly
The tall BK Sunrise in the back...
The girl with floppy branches. I had to tie her back up today. Too much contact with the tent and a couple of stalks that were growing horizontally.

Bottom right corner...four plants in this pot. Bottom leaves and branches were wilting this morning. Watered and the plants perked right back up.
The two girls on the left side of the tent
