Looks nice that's how I like my girls to look when there close to harvest a good fade .....years ago when I first started my plants would stay green throughout flower all the way to the end .....but after years of growing trial and error I like my plants to look kinda rough fade wise when it's time to chop ....seems like they smell better and taste better IMO ....I'm not sure why this would be maybe because there's not excessive food left in the plant so it taste better but that's just a guess ....all I know is my girls look like they've been through battle especially the last two weeks or so but the buds always smell and taste fantastic so anyways looks nice great job IMO

No grow journal but ye i'll give you a breakdown. Its 4 Blue Cheese clones i took. They were cloned and established in rockwool cubes as a batch under 3x 125w cfls and vegged under a single 400w MH. Vegging took about 3 weeks (theyd started to flower from where i hadnt taken care of them in my seedling area so i didnt really want to veg this long but it took a little longer than normal). I've used the scrog technique (which i think is so valuable in enclosed spaces) in a recirculating drip system in clay pebbles with extra air stones, water pumps within a 1msq tent with extraction fans etc under 2 x 400w hps lights. I water all the time lights are on, keep temps around 29C and humidity about 55%. Using the full canna range with the exception of rhizotonic.
This is my 5th grow, the 2nd with this strain. I'm still learning. These have had a hard life as young clones and a bit during flowering. Some of the fading is nitrogen def which i know is fine at this stage but there is also many burnt tips in there where i am still learning proper nute management in a recirculating system e.g my plants drink water, but the ec in the reservoir increases so i have to manage the next feed and judge what specific nutes my plant needs.

You may still be learning, as I think I always will be, but it sure looks like you're doing pretty well! Waterfarm-style drip + scrog = big yields, from what I've seen. 2 x 400W in a square meter, really? Way to not skimp on the light!
I'll soon have access to a new flower room just a bit bigger than yours and I'm thinking of doing something similar, but with 300W-400W of COB LED. My first grow was with a dripper, then I switched to DWC bubblers for a couple, then Pro-mix mix ever since, but I want to try to scrog a couple of plants. Do you like the Canna nutes, or have any comments about them?

Thanks mate. Well i had a spare hood, ballast and bulb sitting around so i thought why not have 2 lights in there, i used to run it with just 1 400w during flowering and although i dont get double the yield with 2 it definitely makes a difference.
I hear promix is a really good choice of medium. Personally i dont think i will move away from clay pebbles any time soon. Theyre reusable, retain water, have loads of pores for air and great CEC and with my system work v well. I couldnt comment too much on the canna range as i havent used any others so dont have anything to personally compare it to. Only thing i can say is i havent had any problems with them up until this grow where i think my plants are showing either a nute def or tox. I have tried growing without Canna Boost and PK in the past and can confirm that my plants grow much denser, heavier, fatter buds much quicker when i use them
