!! LENGTHY POST ALERT !!
This grow is almost completed, have about two more weeks of flowering then a 14 day flush, then a 60 day cure. I've kept a detailed log since the very beginning, if you have any questions ask away
Setup:
30 gallon tubs with 4 airstones per tub
stiff plastic deer fence screen lashed to pvc framework
2 - 400W HPS
2 - 250W MH (used for veg only)
FloraNova nutes
Overdrive
CalMag
a drop of ph down now and then
RO water
Vegged for 30 days, then switched to 12/12. The g13xhaze stretch was very minimal (less than 7 inches). day 30 ph 6.2 EC 1.3
The g13 labs power skunk stretch was intense. This was the beginning, but after it was completely done, there was at least 27" of vertical stretch. day 30 ph 5.7 EC 1.7
Here they are flowering for 45 days. Stretch is completed for the g13xhaze, stretch is almost completed for the g13 labs (on the left). day 75 ph 6.1 EC 1.9
G13 labs power skunk, 60 days flowering, 90 days from start day 90 ph 5.9 EC 2.3
g13xhaze, 60 days flowering, 90 days from start day 90 ph 5.7 EC 2.2
At this point, I'm thinking two more weeks of flowering for the g13xhaze, then a 14 day flush. The powerskunk is much more immature and will require a few more weeks.
Tips that I've learned/picked up thus far (Most of them here or other grow forums or through lessons learned the hard way...)

- if you get rid of all the leaves early, supposably they will regrow and it will shorten the internodes (plant wont stretch towards the light as much)
- Only use clones. You need to know exactly how long they take to flower, how they're internodes are structured and their nute strengths.
- at bare minimum fim each top you have so taht the side branches form and keep those under the screen as well, you want that screen to be full of branches underneath before you go to flower.
- Keep everything under the %^$& screen! Only buds allowed to grow through
- Stretch can be combatted with supercropping, and/or lst
- Stiffer screen = easier to train the plant
- documenting your EC/ph/PPM every other day will help establish the nutrient and or water uptake, allowing you to adjust accordingly
- using a submersible pump to flush a 30 gallon tub helps immensly
- using a real air pump with manifold to supply oxygen makes a big difference over the walmart pumps
- cool tubes are the next upgrade
