Hi all,, yesterday was day 40 and it's amazing the difference 10 days makes in the plants development.
I have removed a lot of the fan/sun leves that were blocking bud sights from the light. They are not nessesary for indoor grows.
I thought about moving the girls outside during the day to save electricity but I'm only using 3 of the 5 cob lights as it is so it's not a big deal to have them under lights the whole time. As of today I have the lights turned up all the way and 12" above the tops of the plants. They are getting about 60,000 lux now.
Here they are as of today.

Hey Gordo, looks like your girls like your new COB lights... and you're only using half of them! Once I expand my grow area it will be 3X3. Do you feel like 4-50w COB's would be sufficient? I know you got 5 but currently only using 3. I'm still debating if I will upgrade to COB or LEC. Leaning towards 315 LEC but I like the idea of COB's not needing to be replaced every year or two like LEC bulbs...

First,, thank you for commenting on my grow.
Now to your situation, at the time I decided to go with the COB setup I didn't know much about the 315 LEC,, but after checking them out on you tube I can say I would still go with the COB setup and mostly for one main reason.
With 4 or 5 seperate COB lights I can put them where ever I want in the tent to get the light just the way I want.
The COB has an adjustable damper that I can choose the amount of light I want without raising or lowering the light.
The single 315 LEC light has a lot of fall off in a 4X4 or even a 3X3 area. It needs to be replaced every 10,000 hrs and you can't adjust the amount of light. It is a nice light so dont get me wronge, it's just not right for how I want to use it.
I dont feel that 4 COBs would give you the ability to have even lighting over a 3X3 area. 5 lights would be better for sure.
I only have 3 lights on because I only have 2 plants and one seedling in there now. If I had 4 plants in there I would have all 5 lights on. In the end it;s up to you and I wish you luck which ever way you go.

Looks great, love how these autos just barrel on through their growth cycles.

Interesting! Just curious, what Youtube video did you get these from? I'd love to check it out!

Your plants look great! Just curious, how long has that back left plant been flowering? It looks like it might be just a touch early to harvest, but it's hard to see in the picture.

Yeah, it is hard to see. Maybe I'll take a close up tomorrow. But most of the hairs are brown and the trachs are mostly cloudy.
I took her out and flushed her good today. Twice. Now I will let her sit for a few days and flush again. She aught to be ready by then. The two in the front will be my last plants for the summer. I will do a SCROG later in the year.

Waiting for close ups 
. I regret that you will have to pause growing for a bit but. REALLY looking forward to your scrogg set up. Will you build it and post the process in the interim? I really enjoy your presence on the forum your photography skills and building skills for scrogg setup would be very helpful to many I am sure
