Cheers mate!!
So it's January 20 and a lot of the plants are starting the transition to flower. The big monster crops are still vegging hard and there's a spattering of plants here and there that are still 100% veg - but regardless, it would seem we've crossed over into flowering territory.
Some pics from today. First one is a plant just starting to show its flowering, second pic is another plant a bit further along. Doesn't smell too bad at the moment but I know the worst is yet to come haha

Looks good! you might think about throwing a fan or two out there for circulation...Some look spaced close to each other....
Do you have a plastic roof? If so id watch out for condensation on the inside

Cheers mate! Drop us a line if you do make it over here!
Haven't had condensation issues as of yet as it's still quite open. It's only a top cover really. It trips the bugs out though, they dance along the plastic trying to get out making all sorts of noises. We're doing a big thin out these next cpl days so that should help with airflow too hopefully.
Haha yeah man she's certainly a handful
was just thinking that 30lb dry-weight must be around 120lb wet manicured buds - that's heavier than the Mrs - strewth!

swamp thang, would burying any type of fish do the trick?
I'd be wary of burying fish, I tried it in my tomatoes one time. The next day the tomatoes were gone except for a couple leaves and there was dirt everywhere. Nothing a varmint loves more then a rotten stinky treat to roll in and eat. I'm a believer in fish emulsion and fish meal and I haven't had problems with it getting dug up, yet. There's a type the local stores sell that's high in P, I've been feeding my plants with it at the start of flowering. I don't want to go late with it, don't want smoked salmon buds but now could be a good time for you. I'm wary of feeding high N fish emulsion near the start of flowering because it's so potent. When you've got a jungle of overgrown green leaf and stem you don't need it. It's a different story if your plants are yellowing or lagging, then I'd consider it.
I notice your problems with Autoflowering, it may not be a problem because you'll have early buds to harvest. I'm guessing next year you'll know which ones will produce the big buds and which ones won't. I always grow from seed, very rarely put out clones because they don't have the same vigor. I'm sure you're noticing this, if you want a big crop seeds are the way to go. Outdoors you can start seedlings two months before you can put clones out. It's not just the seedling vigor, it's also getting them out in the sun two months earlier.
