OMG one of the Bubbles grew 5 inches in one day! I swear I almost wouldn't believe it. it was 12 1/2 inches last night and is 17" tall tonight. I will be posting new pics in a few days. I am keeping an eye on the vertical growth cause I think they are just about done vegging. so Jock #1 is 12" Jock "2 is 12 1/2" Bubble " 1 is 14" and Bubble #2 is a whopping 17 1/2"!

I do have a question about when to switch bulbs. I know not to switch to bloom nutes until I see the verticle growth stop. Do I do the same with the bulbs? Stay on the MH until I switch to bloom nutes and then switch to the HPS?

Thank you all

Save your HPS bulb for a spare and finish this grow with the MH. The change to HPS isn't going to gain you a lot, and these seems to be some anecdotal evidience that you get better trich production under MH. I grew 2 White Widow in an 18 gallon DWC. One plant gave me about an ounce, the other gave me 6 oz dry!! I ran the MH all the waY and was quite happy with the results.

Ok so I am 42 days from seed and I think I am gonna make the switch to bloom nutes. They are between 17" for the Jock Horror and 22" for the Bubblelicious. Now to a weird issue. I have 2 Bubbles going and they look completely different. One has just preflowers and the other has buds all over it! The leaves look totally different too. The one bubble they are only 5 point leaves and on the other they are between 6 and 9 points. Yes I have some retarded leaves! LOL It it the genes, Maybe 1 is alot more indica than the other? Can anyone offer some suggestions.

They have slowed to 1/4 to 1/2 an inch a day instead of an inch or more a day.Now to a weird issue. I have 2 Bubbles going and they look completely different.
