Just getting myself caught up. Your plants look great! Critical mass is one I have been considering. Interested to see the final result.

That may be Asian beetle? The little buggers will bite if so.

Nah, these are actually “hippodamia convergens” ladybugs… they are more red, (it’s hard to see that from these couple of pics) a bit small and “flatter” than the other beetles.
(When it gets to be fall/ winter though, here in the Ozarks, we do see a lot of those Aisian Lady Beetles swarming around in our windows, and yeah, those little suckers DO pinch and n bite, and can be a nusciance!)
These little guys have been crawling all over me and they are pretty gentle. (Unless you’re an aphid or a spider mite, I guess, then they can be vicious. Look up “ladybugs eating aphids/spider mites” to see them up close and in action… it’s really rather morbid, but fascinating to watch.)

Just peeked into the tent window today to make sure my lights went on at 6 am… (just switched the timers from from 18/6 to 12/12 last night) and all looks merry and green this morning, so far!
Time to water, clean things up, seal up some vents, and watch these ladies start to flower in a couple of weeks!

Thank you!
I am curious about the results as well… these have more CBD in them (as well as decent amounts of thc, too) so I’m hoping to be able to make some great edibles out of them.
They are happy today!

Well good deal! Keep going!
And thank you, I’m still learning, and I’m sure I’ll continue to learn more and more as time goes on. Been at this for only just under a year now, myself! Been growing pretty much continually now, and will try to keep it going perpetually from here on out. It’s due to some truly knowledgeable folks in here who have helped me… a lot. So definitely stick around in this forum if you can.
Yeah my first few plants were autos, too. (nice, fatty buds on them, chose the Auto Super Mix Pack). I did like them, (lost a couple) but the photos are so much easier for me to control, and man, do they get big. May do some more autos one day, we’ll see. Almost need a new tent now, myself! Got another person I’m caretaking for now, so I can legally grow twice the plants I was before, (and then some, if I want) but I just don’t have enough room to do so quite yet! I can’t even imagine the work that would go into growing 54 plants. Whew. Would need a whole crew to help me trim.
(One day, though, one day! Life goals. Lol.)
Congrats on ordering your new lights! What are you getting? I love my HLG lights. I could use another one. (Or five. Hahaha.)
Here are the ladies this morning… flipped 11/28/21. Woo Hoo!!! Can’t wait to see the little white pistils popping up soon! That’s one of the most exciting parts of this experience for me.
Soon, it will really be a Sea of Green!

The pictures don’t even do them justice… might try and take some video (just for myself) at some point. I think this strain is a lot hardier than the last one I grew.

@Beltana Hey and have mercy! 
Those ladies have bounced back to an “Awesome” status and you are doing great! Very impressive growing and the lady buggers are working their magic too.

10 days after flipping the lights…
Annnndddd pistils!
Just got back from St. Louis Monday night… and all looked well (except that someone left my observation windows open one night, while caring for the plants… ggrrrrrr, that was slightly upsetting.) but all looks well. They’re taking off in a good way.
Starting to look like a Sea of Green.
