Shrederiz's Coco Coir Widow & Kush Grow Journal, 2019

[shrederiz]

Heya guys so Im running 2 White Widows and 2 Kings Kush @ 35 days Veg.
One of the WW stalled completely for about 2 weeks and now she's coming back.
(Widows on the left, Kush on the right)

1m x 1m x 1.8m Growing tent
SCROG (little stretch needed on the sides)
20 Liter Air Pots with 50\50 Coco \ Perlite mix
Ambient temp 25c
70% RH
Veg Lights: 400 MH \ Flower Lights: 600w HPS

PH 5.8
Canna A+B
Cal Mag

WW @ 500 TDS
KK @ 750 TDS

One of the Kush just stretched like 7-8cm in 3-4 days and had her pistils out... I noticed that only after I topped her today (as planned) and then I found out that the stem is hollow. I have never seen that happen in Veg. Did anybody have a Photo Periodic plant (from seed) showing pistils and stretching like that in Veg?

Now because of the stretch I topped 10cm off of the main stem instead of just topping the first set of leaves, I have never done that before but read it's possible. I'm wondering now if the 4 newest shoots below the cut will now grow as "main colas", or am I going to see 4 new shoots coming out of the hollow stem?

Attached pictures,
Thanks in advance everybody

Sweet plants..
Kush and pistils... Maybe she is an auto seed?

You bought that, but maybe mislabelled?

Hard to believe brother, they all were in the same box

Some progress..
We're at day 45
It wasn't a stretch. both Kush started overgrowing the Widows.

Switched to 600w DS HPS
Widows @ 650 ppm
Kush @ 950 ppm
Water 2-3 Liters per plant every 24 hours

Temps 23 -26c
Lights 24\0

I FIMed the smaller Widow on the front left and I got 4 new nodes
So I think she will fill up nicely as the other 3 were topped only once.

I'm thinking of initiating flowering in 7-10 days, do you guys think the scrog will be filled enough?

Day 52 and the ladies showing some nice progress. I'm starting to like what I see

I'm not in the groom every day, only twice a week or so.. and we had some light burns and the humidifier is being a bitch.. will solve this on Tuesday.

The Kushes are signifacntly bigger on the right side of the groom and they're drinking 3 Liters every night.
It's really bushy down there and quite a trouble watering them.. so on Tuesday will go to the store to purchase a drip system.
Now as I'm running 2 strains I'm thinking of getting x2 of everything. air pump, water pump, reservoir. if there's any way around this with 1 reservoir, please do tell!

Questions!!

1. I'm wondering, should I go with Bloombastic or Grotek Monster Bloom? any recommendations?

2. Do you guys think I should flip lights on Tuesday, or should I give them a week more of veg? don't want it to be too crowded and trying to consider stretch as well.. the tent is only 1.8m high and I'm kinda sorry I didn't LST to keep them short..
