I didn't defoliate much above the first screen , just about ten total and mostly from the middle for air space. cleared under the screen and all other small weak growth.

damm Ronnie, that is one very efficient system you created bro, at this stage with mine I was running at 1600 ppms in a 45 gallon res and changing it every 7 days lol..very nice, reps all day, looks like you got your Mg almost figured out too, I read the other day that raised edges on the leafs can also be a sign of Mg defficiency, looks like some of your leaves are doing that, maybe try upping it a bit more and see if thats whats causing it

thanks Jon, it is very efficient, if I raise the ppm's much above 500 my ph starts dropping. I've been setting it at 500 and the top off at 300 and it will drop to 450 after four or five days. I then bump it back up to 500 and repeat. I've been filling top off res and don't have to fill again for four days.
i'm also using botainicare Kind Bloom , Hydroplex, and Sweet raw . all of which contain 1.5% mag. . I started with Calimagic cal mag sup. but next change will be week 6 so I was going to switch to Oily can by earthjuice because it contains no N.

I've gone really aggressive on the cal/mag this grow and I think its paying off.

thanks for the reps and checking out the girls.

i got it from my hydro store. it has a female 1/2" connection on inlet , and a male connection on the outlet. inlet i used male pvc to slip or glued connector . on outlet i used a female to barbed connector that connects to 3/4" tubing.
i'm not currently using the screen that goes in it.

[Hiker]

what are the side nets for?

 

[ronnie6690]

what are the side nets for?

to support the colas that didn't make it through the second screen.

That looks like a lot of plant material have u considered a heavy defoliation to allow more light to penetrate to your mid canopy where it seems a majority of your buds are at. Just asking not giving any advice as these are some fine looking ladies just wondering if u had done that before or would consider it.

i did a heavy defoliation in my last grow. this time I did only a mild defoliation when i lollypoped them. didn't slow them down a day.

thanks for checking out the girls

well i'm happy to announce I finally ordered a decent digital camera so sometime next week my picture quality is going to be a lot better. the Iphone just isn't cutting it , and with a 30x optical zoom and 7x digital zoom, macro to 2cm I should produce some nice pics just in time for the serious bud porn.
