Update_ all plants are showing bud-lets and improving every day. Except the Glueberry, which is the one that was growing leaves so fast during veg that I had to remove the largest fan leaves at the top almost every day because they were covering at least one growth tip on another branch. Maybe that has contributed to its lagging behind the others? Photos later.

Bartholomew_ thanks for all the tips. The last super crop I did end up squeezing the stem in a few places right above and below the first try_ just by accident_ I was working about overdoing it and that seemed to get the stem to bend easier without cracking or splitting the outside. Thanks for confirming that_ I was just wondering if I could use that successfully on others as well.
Campesino_ I just ordered some with a few other items I decided I could resist_ new pruning implements and a small gravity feed watering system that should keep my plants happy for 5 days or more.
I hope it gets here soon because I'm leaving for about that long in two weeks and want to make sure everything is working well before!

OK, things are continuing to progress. Now at about day 26 from the change to 12/12..still got a long ways to go but bud-lets are growing everyday and now progressing down the stems/branches to the nodes below. Starting to get excited...now the real waiting begins! getting kinda nervous that I have to go out of town for about 5 days in 2 weeks but think I have a plant sitter lined up who will check on them every day. Also ordered a gravity feed water system to use during that time_ see how it works out. Better get it in gear and install it soon as it gets here!
Here are a few pics_

yeah, they're starting to fill out...I'm getting a little concerned about the Big Devil who has about 8 main branches/colas at the top but 4 of them on the outside are getting too tall. They are the main ones so I haven't supper cropped them yet_didn't want to put it behind or mess up one of the potentially best colas by super cropping but I think I'm going to do one today and see how it goes_ use all the awesome advice I've gotten for you folks on getting this right..the stem on this is pretty thick so I'm just going to try the first 2-3 nodes where its more "bendy"...But heck this plant is tied for 2nd-3rd place development wise so even if I put it a little behind it should work out in the end...fingers crossed.Thanks for the comments everyone!

Nice plants Zed, when supercropping a stalk that's to thick or hard to pinch I use a pair of pliers, very gently of course. I smoosh about an inch or so. then let her flop over. Sometimes make a little wind brace to hold at a right angle. All the little buds should be standing at attention by the end of the next light cycle.

Primo_ thanks, I chickened out yesterday but I 'm going to do one today. The plant has plenty of potential colas so if I mess it up it won't be critical. I did about four of them earlier when the stems were only about half as thick and now you can't even tell unless you get down and look up through the plants.So what the heck? Gonna put on my big boy pants today and get adventurous! Thanks.

Hope it all went well. I still have not had to resort to pliers, but they may have to come out soon. I have at least 2-3 supercrops to do tonight and the branches are pretty "healthy" so we'll see how it goes. The earlier supercrops I did have all swollen and healed nicely despite some splits.

Apologies for my delayed response! Back in town again and thankfully everything went well while I was gone.
Following are some pics I took before I left on the 30th and some more from yesterday. Looks like I have about three weeks to go. If that's true then they will be right on track.
Have been using the nutrients as suggested by the manufacturer at about 1/2-3/4 strength and then watering with just plain water every third time.
Have been adjusting lights so they are about 24" over the canopy and trimming and adjusting LST every 3-4 days.
Leaf growth has slowed down considerably while the flowers put on weight which is kinda nice because they don't need as much attention. Now I'm just trimming leaves that are covering bud sites or laying on top of each other.
The fan and carbon filter are running full time_if I turn it off the whole house begins to smell like weed within minutes.
But I'm not complaining!
