sorry moon, me don't remember what they're marketed as, cuz me never pay any attention to any o' that anyway, lol fwiw, before they even go in the dirt, i automatically count on NL to be at least a 100 day plant, with anything longer to be expected & anything shorter to be reazon to downright jump for joy! lol NL is a renowned long runner, and well, mine are jus runnin xtra-long cuz of the whole nutrient imbalance fiasco around day 40-50 or so, but they'll finish one o' theze dayz, so what the hell, lol and psst, i'll be updatin me NL thread before the nite is over, if ya wanna take a peek ppp

So with a 100 days, when do you typically expect to start flowering... 50 days?

well let'z see, it'z been a long minute, so lemme try & remember, lol mine went into preflower around day 40ish me thinkz, and then everything basically...stopped they ended up goin thru suspended animation for at least a month, and then a period of reanimation before they technically started to actually flower...but again, this is jus me own case scenario, and ya, the short answer to ur ques is that 50 dayz is more or less reazonable with NL to see actual flowering start to build ppp

I used to run DP, monster plants but all were 100 plus days for me in DWC. Brooklyn sunrise was my last. Great stuff and huge yields but the plants are just to big for my space.

See now im more worried as this white diesel haze is getting huge shes from white label seeds if the DP zkittles starts my 2x2 aint gonna work lol

@Epicxr I seen vids where the stems get pinched to soften and bend them over and tied to manage the height somewhat.
Don't think I'll have those kind of problems with mine unless she starts a growth spurt but the limited height I have is always something I'll have to manage.

Thanks moon il take a look at that i trimmed her up earlier in hope to slightly slow her down at the rate she was going we will find out tomorrow

Day 31: Another 1L of pH 5.88/1100ppm today. Third day in a row and she looks healthy with no nute burn or leaf symptoms.
Trimmed more fan leaves off again to get some light to the lower nodes and adjusted the pegs. Hopefully this should lead to at least 8 decent branches for buds, maybe double that if I can get her to stretch outwards a little more.

Day 32: Another 1L of pH 5.88/1100 ppm again a mere 12hrs after the last.
Unless the soil moisture sensor is guiding me wrong, she is certainly getting thirstier. Bit more adjusting of the pegs today getting those branches evenly spaced out.

Mid week my oscillating tent fan died which pushed the temps up a bit so I added a small 4" intake fan while a replacement was ordered. Fitted the replacement today and have left the intake fan in too.

I now have over 15,000 hi-res timelapse pics which, as a rough estimate, will give me 1080p 120fps video where 1 day is around 3-4seconds for an overall length of 5-7mins (75-100 days).

Need to mix up another batch of nutes today. Will probably stick with around pH5.8/1100ppm as she seems to be quite happy with that.

In other news, I also received some new seeds as I couldn't help myself. Thinking about the next grow already!!! :-D
I might have to start growing 2-3 at a time in smaller pots and even then I've enough seeds now to last me years if they even germinate after all that time.
