A thick stalk at the soil level can be a good indicator of vigor. A more vigorous plant grows heavy 
Looking good. How long has it been flowering. Here’s my gorilla glue auto after 7 days of flowering.
Couple of days
Honestly the transition from preflower to flower im not so clear on
Personally I start considering flowering when I see lots of white pistils, or even “budlets”.
Yeah im probably fixing to start nutes im in ffof tho im 37 days in the soil
First time watering till runoff today week 4 took 160oz with barely 10% runoff…soil was dry?..lol
Yep, she was dry. The way I figured out my watering schedule was I stuck my finger in to the second knuckle. If it was dry that deep I watered, which just happen to end up being every 3 or 4 days.
Damn bro need a good reccomendation for a value set of ph and ppm meter dont got much$$$$$???
You can go cheap on the ppm pen, but you want a decent ph pen. I’ve heard good things about the apera ph20 pen

Thanks bro
U think since the soil was so dry now that i soaked the soil will she hit a growth spurt u think?
She may stretch a little bit, your just gonna have to keep up with the LST. But on the bright side, the bud sites should start getting bigger and fatter tho.
PH meters are a bit more complicated than TDS meters. They require periodic calibration and must be stored in a storage solution so that the glass bulb doesn’t dry out and crack. Water alone won’t work: has to be storage solution. You can get that on Amazon as well. Bluelab sells bottles of 4.01 and 7.0 PH calibration solution. You can store in the 4.01 solution.
Spend all the money you can on the PH meter.
The more I look at your big girl the more I like her, if I may, I have a couple moves I would recommended to open her up and spread her out a little more and get some light into the center bud sites so they can develop. Basically work day by day to bend the color labeled branches to the corresponding color arrows around your cage. It will take about a week of small moves but she will grow into it. This should help with light penetration, air flow and help even out your canopy. Plus there’s one branch completely covered over, it needs some light.
Thanks bro will make adjustments daily i been trying to maintain even canopy…some branches r short…just waiting till they get longer to move round more.
Small moves at a time brother, you will get her there.
So not bad for 4 weeks?
