After reading your last journal I can only imagine the root mass you will have in those chambers come harvest time!
I’m also curious how long you will veg this time around now that you have so many more girls filling the tent?

I will probably veg for another month, im planning to install a screen and grow scrog, the other plant are smaller so i will see how quickly they catch back, if they remain too small compared to the big one i wont top them, the bigger girls got topped already and started to get bushy.
I will try to keep them under 12 inch high under the screen during veg than flip them at the end of the month if the screen has a good coverage, im expecting a good 3 month flowering time as they are mostly sativa dominant.
Yes it will be interesting to see which one make the most roots as i noticed some big plants make little roots and some small bushy plants make as much roots as plant like the warlock.

Sounds like a solid plan! I’ve been growing scrog on the last 3 grows and I finally feel like I got the timing down to fill the screen. On my current grow I started flower with the screen about 2/3 full and kept training through the stretch. That just about filled the whole screen. Obviously it depends on strain and I’m sure sativa dominant will stretch even more.

Plants are growing but i had noticed some droopyness of the leaves, tried to reduce watering cycle but it made things worst so i put it back to 2 on 4 off.
Currently at 500 TDS, might be too high, i lower at next batch.

Plants are all looking healthy today.

Looking real good, what did you use to cover the reservoirs?

End of week 6

They are now well in early veg, i took out the weakest blue dream as it was too small so there is 2 left.
Changed the water today, reduce the fertiliser to a ppm of 590 using half strength of the fertiliser.
Ph to 5.6

Yes my reservoir is always covered, the hose enter through a hole on top where i have a mesh covering the hole.

 

[leblanca]

Today i made a screen to do some LST , hole 4in square at 12in height.

 

[leblanca]

Roots seems to be growing well.

Looking great so far

I have been out of town for a couple of week while i had my son take care of the plants.
Getting really bushy.

We did some intense defoliation yesterday, flipping to flower this weekend.

Those roots are mesmerizing! Maybe because its a part of the plant I don't get to see in that kind of detail, just amazing!!
