So I left for 10 days. I topped up everything with lucas standard, and left.
I'll post the before and after pics, but HOLY SHIT!

This clone is now 24" tall. It grew about an inch per day for the past 10 days.
This is the sideways female. Everything got so crowded that I had to rearrange
it all. You're looking at the underleaves until phototropism move the branches
back toward the light.
The sideways female's trunk.
The upright female's trunk. She grew to 3 feet tall as her apex while I was gone.
Her she is at 3 feet.. Woops, forgot to rotate it. Lots of flower sites.
Here is the 2nd plant. It went Veg, Flower, back to veg (her clones are in
the veg tubs now), and now to flower again. She is two feet from stem to where
the main tips starts to turn up again. Each side branch is now 2 feet to 1 foot,
reaching upward now.
The double flowered plant's mutant 3 leafs with the newly formed flowers.
Flowers!
It'll perk up again, in a day or so once it realigns itself in it's space. I'm
really thinking about putting a scrog net over it, to give it some more control,
since it has stretched so much in the past 10 days.
The littler clone from the sideways female in the flowering.. She's about 18"s
and grew about .8"s per day for the last 10 days.
The trio.
Another angle.. Stupid lights.
Here's another shot of the reflowered mother.
A better shot of her mutant leaves.. This branch went from 1-3-5-3-1 leaves from
reveg/reflowering.
Flowers..
Another angle where the light sucked..
Tools of the trade. I got the tds pen for $3 at Walgreens on clearance.
The reflower clone. It's progress better in the past 10 days, and grew around
10"s, It's back to 5 leaves now.
This poor bastard won't revert back to 5 leaves to save it's life.. I think
it's going to get chopped in the next culling.
The littler clones from the first mother are now around 8"s.. Rather poor
growth still.
One of the CO2 enriched clones that I took around 12 days ago. OMFG they got
bigger and rooted while I was gone!
Root action from a clone that was smaller then the side by side tank clones above.
I didn't think they were going to make it so I put them with the CO2, and the
outgrew the ones in the tank now! Almost a foot tall!
All of the new clones took root, but interestingly, the smallest looks like it
took a bit of nute burn. The clone tank was running around 300PPMs of the lucas
formula.
The biggest plant clone now, is using the sub surface water ring, which you can see here exposed. I think I'm going to make rings for them all now.
Eventually, I'd like to have the bucket system I've built here in flower
and veg, so I can just pickup a pot, and put it in the other system
when I want to switch.
I'm running lucas at around 1100PPMs in the bucket system, and the res water temps are around 78F, with all the lights on. I'm super saturating the water with oxygen thou, so I have not had any root problems. The all smell like fresh cucumbers in the root zone, but one clone in particular.. Has an odd smell. Dog shit. Laugh all you want but I swear this plant smells like dog shit and weed on the top five leaves, and I have yet to figure out why.
No dogs have been anywhere near any of it, let alone in the room.
I need to read you thread from the beginning. I missed it cause it was the second one in your signature and I thought both your grows were done. You teach me so much. You are truly a sci guy and not a fi.
What are the negatives to putting the screen on the top? Doesn't that make your job easier so you don't have to do all that bending?
I want to learn that cause it seems like it solves a lot of light problems forcing each branch through a hole. Are there negatives to doing it?
I would never do what you do with wire and stuff way to hard for me.
Props to you mister

It's very similar to bonsaing a stem.. I'm paying for it now, they've branched everywhere! I'm thinking how to string them up at the moment.

I was doing a sort of LST with the main stem. Two of the plants were tipped over nearly horizontal, to stimulate growth of the side branches, in addition to topping.

So I reduced the high-flow tank by 25% in PPMs. Dropped to 1050 total, with my hardwater at 200 out of the tap, and 100 ppms on the ph down, per PH number. Plants seem to be doing okay. Girls in flowering are doing okay, but one is 7-10 days behind the other one, it would appear in growth. The other has REALLY dark leaves. Makes me wonder if it's toxicity. Pics coming.

Leaf burn, and tip curl in the high-flow buckets. It's the same on the clones to the bigger girls. Starts at the bottom with the tip curling up.. proceeds to curl down and burn sets in on the tip and the edges. After that it slowly moves up the plant. Some odd coloring patterns showed up too.
Burn in the single site bucket.. looks the same as the others.. Think it's the lucas formula..
Alien lights! Ahh!

This has some of your issues but not all. I really need to start doing research and make a comprehensive one to the best of my ability. I think it would be useful. This chart is good though.

Looks like nute burn to me. Leaves are full of nutes and curling under. You either need more lights or less nutes. Some plants are picky.

It's under a 400W MH. I'd think it'd be plenty. What's weird was it started out curling UP first, then down after the tip curled up several times, and I never saw that listed anywhere. I think it was either too high of PPMs or the PH was a tad high when I emptied the res and refilled it.
I think it's the too high mutes. Pointing down and dull mean the leaves are overloaded. I'd maybe switch to water alone and see how they respond. The up and down is unusual but they are definately full up now.

I backed them down a bit, and let it keep riding hard, and the stems got thick, and the leaves got HUGE.. I moved them over to flower yesterday, and moved the clones on in.

Is this grow still alive?
If so, please update us with some pictures and info.
I am moving this to abandoned journals until we get updates.
Thanks and hope all is well in your world!

Where did you pick up those square net pots? I cannot find them at any hydrostore in town and I need them so so bad!!
