Yeah I saw those but I don't see anything sticking out of it. You can have new stems grow out of areas like that. I don't see any sex organs though.

so guys, me being new to this I have a size question. As I have mentioned in earlier posts I have been using the LST (tie down) method of training. My girl was at about 14" tall (with about a 2.5' diameter) when I switched to flowering. Now (7 days into flowering) she is at about 16" tall. With this being bagseed I dont know how long flowering will take (guessing 8-10 weeks). Does anyone have any estimations on about how tall it will get by harvest?
In my current space I only have room for her to get about 24" tall. Does anyone think this will be a problem?

No one can tell you how much it's going to stretch. My main strain AT LEAST doubles in size.

hawksapprentice, thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for all of the newb questions but I would rather ask than f@%k something up.
On that note, how much of the lower branches & leaves should I trim off? Looking at one of hawksapprentice's pics he trims about the bottom third or so off. Or if there is a good topic here you can point me to that would be great.

It all depends on how lazy I'm feeling. In that pic I did trim off the bottom third, but those plants are also about 3 feet tall. '
However in this pic even though you can't see the bottom portion 
I did little to no trimming. All the little underdeveloped buds just added to my bubble hash and butter.

Here is a quick update guys. She has shot right up. She is pushing 24" tall now. She was only 13" tall when I switched to flowering. Everything seem to be going well. I do have one question though. As you can see in these new pictures a lot of my fan leaves are curling just a bit at the tips of the leaves. This has been going on for about 2 weeks. Can anyone help me with this? As long as she seems happy I am not too worried about it though.

i was having that in my DWC. if you're using reverse osmosis or some kind of filtered water, you'll need a calcium and magnesium supplement like general hydroponics calimagic or botanicares calmag.
once i hit my plants with the calimagic i stopped having as many cal mag problems. i chose calimagic over calmag because the type of iron in the calimagic falls out at lower and higher pHs than the calmag. im sure calmag works just as well.

I am not sure if that could be the case or not. Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom does have 1% Calcium and .5% Magnesium. I do not know for sure as I still need to buy more equipment (PPM meter) but I think I was not changing my reservoir often enough. Right now I have been changing it once every 4-5 days. With my bucket only being able to hold 3Gal of nutes and adding 1Gal per day My PPM had to have been swinging quite a bit. Again I need to go buy an PPM meter.
I now have started changing my reservoir every other day to be safe. I am sure I am wasting nutes, but if that is what it takes at this point.
Here are a few pics from this evening

Hey guys just wanted to give you guys a quick update and throw a question out there. I am about to run into a height issue.
  
you can't really see it but the HPS bulb is at the top of the ruler. 14" of space
Just a quick summary: This is a bag seed (but looks like a indica dom in my opinion) DWC (5Gal) bucket system. I have been using LTS (tie down) for this grow. Wen i switch the lights to 12/12 (on 5/18) she was 13-14" tall. Today she is 28" tall.
If you look at the attached pictures you will be able to see I can only get my lights about 2" higher. I own my house, so doing minor modifications is not the end of the world but...
Can anyone see any alternative to tearing the shelf out of my closet? I don't want to but... if that is what it takes

Well your just over 2 weeks. You probably have another week of them stretching, but it "should" start slowing down. Another option is to get Bushmaster if your grow store carries it. I haven't personally used it, but have heard that it works to stop stretching when you want it to.
Or just continue to tie down the growing tips. You can bend the very tops almost directly down.

What if any negative effects with that cause? Any? I stopped tying them down after I started flowering. Only left a few pieces of wire on the main stem.

There are not ill side effects from it. Just causes more branching and helps keep the plant from getting as tall. I tie down until they stop stretching.

Here are a few quick pics today. She is at day 19 of flowering and doing good. After talking with hawksapprentice the other day I attempted to tie her down a bit more. I f%&ked that up. I bent the stem too far and it bent to a 90 degree angle. After getting my heart started again I straightened the (tallest) stem back up and held it straight up for just a min or two. After that she held her own weight. Now it is fine. Just a little bulge on the stem. Let me know what you guys think.

Ok guys I know it has only been two days since my last update but something is causing me some concern. Some of the thin roots close to the top of my root mass are turning brown.
 
I am certain my bucket is light tight. The ones pictured are not the one i use in my grow room. It is just what I was using while changing nutrient solution. As I have mentioned before I am using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom. at a strength of 25ml/GAL. I have been putting 3GAL of nutes in bucket topping it off daily and changing completely every 3 days. Just now I only added 2GAL of nutes and plan on changing water every other day. What do you guys think? I am not sure what to do.
Here are a few pics of her
 
Also, I have been losing a few fan leaves. They are all older lower fan leaves. Here are a few pics of what they are doing
 
Any help would be much appreciated.
