Cali Connection 818 Headband!

What's up 420 herbalists, been on here for ages now and I thought it was about time I actually bothered to do a journal properly. I tried one before with my strawberry amnesia but just never got round to it and it was probs my worst crop so far, never mind but I got some 818 headband from cali connection and there coming along nicely. I'm currently at week four of veg, had three sprout on 13/9 and popped a two more 9 days later. Got them in 3 gallon fabric pots in canna terra pro with perlite/vermiculite mix aswell, the nutrients im using are bio nova dedicated line, which has bn soil supermix, bn pk13/14, bn the missing link, bn zym, bn xcel, bn roots also supplementing with calmag 2ml a litre. Got my ph between 6.5-6.8 and currently running my ppms at 650-700. Rh is 55-65% generally, and temps are 19-20 lights off and 21-22 lights on, I'm currently running a 96w 2 ft t5 and a 600w ufo, the ufo has only been in there for 7 days and the amount of growth during that time is phenomenal, really impressed considering it was cheap as chips. Oh my space is 1.2/1.2/1.8, also running a 600w aircooled hps for flower probably with the 600w ufo for the majority of it aswell, 4 inch intake and 6inch exhaust, got a large fan which is currently off till the hps goes on and two small fans on the ground circulating the air. So that's pretty much it, I'll put some pics up and let me know what you guys think, I am open to opinions, advice, anything helpful!!

7 days between the two photos.

The top left has been fimd early on third node to produce the open centre and the same with the bottom right, the bottom left came out funny with a Siamese twin and naturally grew into two awesome plants from one stem, there all just starting to bush through the centre. The top right and middle are surprisingly 9 days younger but if you was up close you would definitely tell there not as mature but it just goes to show how it really effects the size of everything by topping early, the structure of the older three are looking really good though just need to let them bush out and put a bit of height on.

this is my Siamese twinny, would be cool if all plants started like this!
 
Thanks Ian, really trying to put the effort in this run.. ended up being lazy on the last one after getting complications but I think i got it dialed pretty good at the min and winters on the way so no need to worry about the heat, finally!!
 
Couple pics from last night, also I would normally get my oil heater out when my temps drop to 18-19 at lights out but because the temps are only 21/22 during lights on I haven't bothered, do you guys think i should set the heater up or not?

day 35/26
 
The temp spread is fine but you are getting a little low in the day temps to maximise photosynthesis imho. And you don't want to slow a big yielder like Headband down!
 
I think once I got them into my smaller veg tent the temps should go up to 24-26, but chances are the night temps will still be similar as now, will that effect them having a wider range I'm temps? Thanks m8
 
Few pics from last night, seem to be thriving.. hopefully do the switch next Wednesday, depends on how there looking. Humidity 65%, temps 22 lights on.

Quick update, girls are doing great, broke my ph pen.. again, two in two weeks for fuck sake! Definitely need to just get a decent one and stop buying the cheap crap anyway the temps have still been low during lights out but they seem to be thriving still, will be taking cuttings later, getting them in the heated incubator and into the dp90! Don't know whether to flip the older three this weekend? Or maybe I should leave them till Wednesday, which will make them 6 weeks and the younger ones 9 days behind? I'll put some pics up.. currently got about a metre to the hps and it's staying where it is the whole flowering period so not sure whether I need to flip or not? Anyone know if the 818s stretch a fair bit? Thanks for looking dudes!! These are from last night , day 37/28

everything's gonna be alright . .
 
Ohh forgot, in other news......

We got some hairs coming through on one of the lady's, I'll check them all again tonight. Hopefully they're all showing by Wednesday and I'll flip that switch! Never had plants in veg that smell so much, might have something to do with not having my carbon set up at the sec tho? Probebally lol anyway .
 
They do crack like that for me too. They don't seem to mind much
 
I recommend the plant!t pH pen. It's decent priced and waterproof. I too have killed many pH pens throughout the years
 
Thanks deville, I'll have a look on Amazon and order it now if they got it. She was doing fine until I pushed her wide open, think maybe i was trying to penetrate to deep in there.... haha. I'm not worrying I know how resilient they can be, tough little bitches.. she's a bit of a inbred anyway haven't even done any topping or training and she just grew like that..
 
Hey dudes got some pics from last night, day 38/29.
Decided to turn my hps on for the last week or so before the flip, got a brand new bulb in there ready to rumble! Today is the day we take some cuttings from the beautiful lady's, just waiting on a delivery of some cubes for them and I should be good to go, still don't know whether to defol whilst taking the cuttings or wait till a couple weeks into flower and then give her a haircut? Lemme know what u guys think, . . . .

I'll try remember to bring my sunnys for the next pics, Thanks for looking
 
Got some more seeds!! Only wanted singles so wasn't a whole lot of Choice, also got a auto... never done them before so interested to see what there like. Put them into cups of water, now the waiting game. I hate this bit.

ready for the 818 clones, can't wait to see that veg tent full up again!!
 
Took some cuttings last night, got them in the heated incubator under the t5.. managed to get 2 from each plant, plant 1-5 left to right. Hopefully flowering on Wednesday still, fingers crossed. Update later on the seed situation
