Beautiful plants!
It’s going to be awesome seeing them fill those tents. 
Thats what I have Odishas on. Heard 10.5/13.5 is another option too.

Thanks @InTheWoods I really appreciate that.
12/12 was just to get them flipped. Your post and a few others have me targeting 11 or 11.5 hrs of Lite, once we get sex established.
I’m following experience on this one @FieldEffect. Right now those Monsters are smiling at me, and I’m falling for it…
Decision time will be soon enough Ladies !
I have also decided to Raise the Male Oaxacan A plant @George, in a Smaller tent; 32 x 32 x 60… so I have my hands full right there I believe. LST/ HST and more.
Male Pollen will be collected

Great decision 
, I’ve been topping several times a Tirah Valley male (up left) so I can pollinate the Hindu Kush beside him, no need to take good care of males …

Settling into a Nute rotation of 3 different nutrient streams.
A worm Casting Tea, which is also a fantastic way to add extras,
A Fish Hydrolysate drink when needed next.
And then to add a Tea featuring npk Bloom Microbes, Enzymes and Molasses. Being an initial dose, this above tea will have Amino Acid, Silica and Root Builder added, pH will be adjusted; 6.4, after a 24-36hr brew.
Plant absorption will be measured tomorrow in a 15 minute, fed from below Dinner. See where we are…
I’m Puzzling on the challenge of this NEXT Soil Amendment… when I’m feeding from below… (and Not wishing to up-pot)
Any takers?
The Bubble Snake I ordered last year, has been an amazing addition to the phood program here . Seriously.
!
Here is the Fish Hydrolysate that I’m proudly using. Ontario trout scraps…https://greenstreme.com/

Morning,
I Always appreciate your guidance @George. Recently I found a very interesting article featuring bottom feeding, and there was a quote that I think is Critical. And it makes perfect sense.
My next fabric bags are square and a little more robust. At the time of purchase, btm feeding was not on the menu.
The article states a simple step for success, and I’m sure a lot of people will or have missed it. Me included, here to date.
Anybody wanting to go further, here it is.
Thanks for introducing me to this concept George @SativaKid
Next…

You’re welcome, he uses coco coir so don’t know if this affects to that statement 
. In your case, fighting against fungus gnats, keeping dry the soil surface is essential, capilarity will work great even in a dry soil, as it goes upwards there’s no gravity force involved so it takes all the time needed to absorb the water.
Roots need oxygen, that’s a good asset in fabric pots, if you first clog them with water it will be missing and you can have root rot as plant needs more time to drink bottom water. Your plants show they like what you’re doing, that means no need for changes, just some LITFA…

Co-Grower asked for a Challenge this Winter @George, I said I needed help…
Keeping the kids between the lines.
Patterns are happening, This and next week will be busy G. I Checked a Random root-situation on Oaxacan C. And it says there is still lots of room for More of everything lol. (Below) [just an observation but you can see how the sand is working its way Down through the substrate… more probably sliding down the pots edge ha. But it’s happening] “ 25 days above ground “
The rest of the tent is simply going nuts.
Each plant absorbed ~ 350 ml of liquid nutes over a 20-minute bath last nite.
4 litres of nutes per tray of 7 plants. 1.6L left after 20 minutes = 2.4L / 7
AND WE IDENTIFIED A WHOLE BUNCH OF LADIES, including the Skinny-Bladed Oaxacan A plant; Yippee. Its a Female confirmed.
Plants are really healthy, a few of them (Ladies) get re-potted with Training; this week !!
BHADRA strain has “3-ladies” present; 2 tall and 1 short pheno @Budderton @iceman (Any preferences?)

Nice brother. All are looking great! 
Since they’re all ladies, why not grow them all out? 
Is there a certain number of plants you’re looking to keep?
Honestly, I’ve not grown the Bhadra as yet but I’m sure some thing good should come out from her phenos.

The initial Target was 5 plants from 5 different Strains @iceman. (4’x4’x80”)
There are a couple Local folks whom we have talked too about taking some extras, even out of towners are considering a couple.
With regards to the Bhadra, I will definitely hold back the short-one just for that reason.
Drag my Feet a Little ok lol, its already hard to see these going out the door
The added bonus was that there would be room for an auto or two… in the Tent.(why not #6 photo-period? Valid question)
Once again, the size of these plants in 3-4 months, has to be kept in check! New territory for me… I’m loving the scenery; first day of Week 5, 8 days into Flower.

All cool brother! 
The shorter one should be a pleasant surprise I’m sure. 
Love the spirit!

All of the pre-made Soil has been added to my outdoor Garden as a Result of the on-going Fungus Gnat situation, in my storage bin.
Easy call, Mixing & Moistening more Soil / Nutes later today, and bagging-it. targeting its use for the later part of this week and the weekends LST sessions.

I haven’t grown any out either. If your looking for stuff that is good for indoors, you may want to focus on the shorter phenotype. But I agree with @iceman . I’d grow them all out, if you can find room. Happy hunting!

Thanks for the feedback, and your so right. I believe it stands as a Six plant grow right now… till things get… well, till then.
AutoFlower joins the tent Friday! She’s a btm-feeder as well
Appreciate your input Gentlemen; @Budderton @iceman

I’ve stopped adjusting the lights strength based on ppfd. Now that a canopy is intact, Lite is really close and conditions are steady so I am trying to keep the Leaf surface temp, ~ 3 degrees below the Room temp.
