Been a few days, it's ran through the 2 gallons of nutes I made. Gonna let it drink from the res until Monday morning do a fresh change then. It's drinking more water than nutes though, ppms went from 1000 monday to 1325 today. When I change the res I'm going to take the ppms to 1200. pH has been steady @ 5.9 the entire time.
Today is the 13th day of 12/12. Assuming screen will be filled by next Friday and then it's off to the races. So far I've counted 20 tops that are above the screen. Main stem seems to be ok, the top part that broke off hasn't died. It was the top 3".

Looking very nice. Your plants are a bit taller than mine is. No worries, it's coming along nicely. You should start a thread that would be nice. The top part of the main stem was slowly dying so I cut it off. Similar to what happened to scottyballs, it wouldn't bend and snapped so I more or less topped it.

yeah its prob a bit late to start a thread and i was gonna thats what i thought was a journal LOL im horrid.....the height is not a great thing for me as im a little limited with height. was told they were more indica than sativa so i got pickled there...i may have to hit them with u turn tomorrow in more growth occurs over night as they should have stopped by now. uhhh that will slow you down for a week or so i pretty sure. your yeild will be reduce a little...i have only a few days left to decide if i rope her down or not otherwise stem will get to stiff....i like the screen you got up its really interesting...i want to try something similar for my next grow...have you started feeding bloom nutes yet???? i did something diff this round and it made a HUGE DIFF......i kept feeding the veg formula 2weeks into flower..

im going to spray every single plant now with reverse fem seeds or not, 3of mine hermied on me few days ago, but the weird thing was that some of the suspected pollen sacks pushed out pistols today and the rest of the little balls i pulled of and sprayed her with reverse today and will again in 10days, prob wont help massivly but we see what happens, either way im fairly certain that its minimum 90%female for the two that matter and the 3rd one i chopped. was onlt there cos extra seed sprouted long story lol

Nope, I've been using the simple Lucas Formula, only Flora Nova Bloom from start to finish. It's been doing great with it so far.

Once I got to around 700-800ppm and when I re-calibrated my pH meter.
Yeah, Nova does a job on the instruments, I rinse mine in hot water now. Only been in flower for a few days, 1100 ppm. I got some GH Flora Kleen, and have been flushing every 10 days between res changes. I get a huge jump in growth everytime I use it. Seems Nova leaves a thick residue, I'm sure you've seen it. Salt. Pure water will do the same thing, but this stuff releases the plant/soil ionic bond. Kinda like giving the plant a fresh start everytime. $14 for 32 oz, free shipping. Only telling you because we are both in hydroton, and that stuff holds onto a lot of residue. Anyway, glad to see you're doing well...Once I got to around 700-800ppm and when I re-calibrated my pH meter.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that. I had no idea GH made something like that. Seems like it would be very useful to have handy.

I've read that you should start to trim the undergrowth slowly (like one fan leaf per day,) starting about two-three weeks after you finish weaving.

hey bro, you trim once your screen is pretty much full and all the tops are out of the screen. once you have as many tops out of the screen as possably anything under your screen goes. all side branches that didnt make it past your screen your fan leafs the whole works. it will be completly naked under your screen pretty much

If you look at scottyballs grow you'll noticed he cleared it while he was flowering, so did dayzt. It seems as if marijuana grows different in hydrofarm than it does when grown in soil and you can't follow the same principals like with scrog, growing in dirt you to have 60% of the screen filled before flip, well i had about 1/3 of it filled before flowering and now almost all of it is.

Pretty good bit of info there in that thread. Very good read.
