I am going to borrow a camera this weekend and will update with pics.
Two plants have been flowering now for 14 days. A third for twelve days and I put the fourth one in tonight. I took 8 cuttings on 11/2. Three died, four had roots by the time the covers came off for good, which was yesterday (12-13 days) and the last one is a couple of days behind, the cover is still on.

Here is a group shot from behind plant #4, the late bloomer, two weeks behind the rest:
This is the front view of the lady that I posted last night and I had the schedule wrong, today is day 18 of bloom for this one.
This one been bloomin' for 21 days:
Note the tie tape running to the ceiling. I checked D9's thread and copied the idea of hanging a pipe above each plant from which to tie from.
Now that the stretch period is over for three of the four, I will defoliate a little bit.

very nice! with the 2 1k's in the middle you are about to grow some whoppers. i would find something to tie with that wasn't so large in width. by the time you tie up the whole plant there will be a lot of shading with what you are using.
big healthy plants!

Wow! The plants are huge!
I feel like they just popped outta nowhere.

I've been using the tape for years and was wondering why you use string....
Everything is moving along now, the next clones are on schedule. Today I moved them from under a single CFL bulb to being much closer to a set of FLO tubes. Next gear time for them.

haha yes well what a difference a real camera can make!
His pics make my fingernails itch to go in and defoliate. Thoughts D9?
my tongue's asleep and my teeth itch!

I've been growing this Mango continuously for 18 months, have defoliated heavily and didn't enjoy the results. When grown properly it's a heavy yielding plant, with chunky, dense, rock like nugs. Not long bugs; but 2-5 gram chunks. Nothing else changed, the same system, the same buckets (cleaned of course), the same clean water (tested monthly), the same Peters fertilizer, the same everything except for one factor.
More budsites - big yes
Smaller buds - big yes
More weight - no, the same
Which isn't to say that I don't defoliate at all, but maybe not as much as you would like to.

What does " grown properly" mean? Do you expect more or less than previous runs?
They look pretty proper the way its going now?
I meant optimally.
Maybe that post wasn't clear, but the point of it was that I fairly heavily defoliated the last time out and there were more bud sites than previous grows, but the buds were smaller and the total weight did not go up. I really like those big chunky buds.

Today is day 30 for two plants, day 27 for one and day 16 for #4
This past week:
- the pulse interval was increased to 90 minutes - a trade off with the varying plant ages that won't happen again.
- some defoliation of the older three
- four bulbs in place
This is the back of #1 and #2, being hit by the 600:
