Indoor RDWC Grow: Space Candy, Jack Herer, GG#5, Blackdog Phytomax 2 800, & Connoisseur

[BassBuds]

Hey all. I'm starting the thread a bit deep into my grow, but I expect this to be the first post of many.

Here's my setup:
Gorilla Grow Tent 5x5
Versatile hydroponics 4 site RDWC system
3 home made bubble buckets
Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom/Grow
Black Dog Phytomax2 800w light
Hydroguard

I'm growing multiple strains. I popped a couple mystery seeds that I had saved over the years (I think it may be gorilla glue) while I waited for my candy queen seeds to arrive. I also planted a few jack Herer. When my candy queen arrived I through 2 feminized of her in the box as well

Here are some pics of the initial setup
Week 1, and ro system setup. Popped some mystery bagseeds because I was impatient.

Week 3 of mystery seeds. Week 1 of Jack herer

Week 4. Moved the big gals (hopefully) to their buckets.

Added my scrog. Now have 4 plants in buckets. Added drippers instead of top feed for the buckets to help them grow more roots

Sprouted my candy queens. Created a bubble bucket out of an old cat litter container for the jack. Moved the candy queens to the buckets when they were ready

The candy queens are this crazy lime green color

Space Candy.

With the clones starting to grow roots, that means it's time to transplant them to their new homes. I'm going to be trying multiple different mediums with these clones and see how they turn out.

1. Is in a rapid rooter (old and dried out) in perlite
3x in coco (royal buffered)
Going to also try some of this "promix mycoactive" soil I have sitting around the house too

I've been spraying the clones with life cloning mist and RO water. The water in the cloner is a very weak nutrient solution. I find it's easier to use a very weak nutrient solution to keep the ph balanced in to water than adding ph up/down is. Ro water is bad for ph pens anyway

1 week after defoliation/starting flowering, and the canopy is already filled to the brim. I was hoping to wait until week 3 of flower to do my second defoliation, but right now bud sites are definitely covered by large fan leaves.

Should I start pruning or wait another 2 weeks?
