First Med Coco Grow - finished

So I decided to throw some more pics up.
The first pic is my watch dog
You can see in pic 5 that I broke a stem while bending it. I didn't notice until tonight, so I am not sure when it happened. Anyway here are the some pics.

PS.... can someone tell me how you post the pics in the message instead of thumbnails and how to label them? Thanks.

Thanks Boomer. Maybe we'll never know.

I stopped bending 2 days ago( mostly because of the broken stem) and now they are really starting to push through the screen.
Lollipopped the hell out of them today, I hope not too much. I took everything that was more a couple inches below the screen off. I have to admit, it's still a little hard to cut off those lower shoots. I keep thinking I am taking something I shouldn't be off.
I watered yesterday with the same nut stregnth as last time. 600 ppm. I have been watering avery 2-3 days. I had been using the weight of the pots as a watering guide, now with the screen, I can't really lift the pots. So I wait fo rthe cooc to start to pull away from the sides of the smart pots. I am kind of wishing now that I had lined the bottom of the trays with a few inches of coco. The roots are packed tight now and the pots are swollen. I might have got more growth with the extra root space.
The growth has slowed a bit. When I put up the screen on 9 days ago the canopy was a couple inches below and now it is just even with the screen. So the verticle growth has definaltey slowed.
While I was crawling around under under the plants trimming, I saw a couple more gnats. The sticky traps haven't showed much of a change. A gnat here and there, but that's it. I inspected the leaves I took off and they all were clean of bugs. I did however do a light spray of Azatrol on the under side after trimming.
The clones haven't shown any roots yet and it's been a week.

trimming looks good to me i wouldnt stress about cuttin it theyd die off anyways if u left it and it just uses ur plants energy and nutes. how long have u been veggin for? im tryin to get an idea if i did scrog how long itd take to veg from clones.

oh and on ur clones did u use a rooting gel when u took the cutting? also we use superthrive when we first put the cuttigns in rockwool cubes. seemed to work. we did 30 and they all rooted thru in about 10 days and none died yet

nother week of veg should do it

I would do 24/0 for a week and a half and weave them in with your net real good, then switch to 12/12 and watch them reach for the sky

Ya, I have read a lot of journals about lillipoping. I know that is the process, but I feel evey snip. lol
As far as the clones..yes I used a cloning gel and root excel. It's only been a week, the tops look happy, just no roots yet. I am just not that patient..if you haven't already noticed

Sweet. I will be looking out for them. The clones look perky and happy, so I am assumming they are good, but we will see here in a few days.

have they shown the white nubs at the base yet? I would assume they have sometime within the last 48 hrs, provided good conditions of course....

I am using a DIY aeroponic-cloner with misters.
The stem pic is day two in the cloner. I'll take more pics tomorrow.

dang check u out raiderfan gettin all techsavy

ahh good more pics tomorrow.... I guess there will be a few roots poking out by then

The clones are showing roots today. So it took 8 days. Then I almost really fucked up. I turned off the pump to check the roots and forgot to turn it back on. It was off for about 2 hours before I noticed. There is so much humididity in that box I am sure they are fine. What I bone head, that could have been real bad.

I also threw in a couple pics of the girls today.

The last pic is the 4'x4' veg box I am building. I just decided t hang it from the floor joists. Will update this later when I get it done, but if you have any ideas on the lighting, I am open to suggestions. I haven't decided if Iam going 400 HID or floro.
