Indoor 4 Strains, 4 Breeders, 4 COBs RDWC & 1 Reservoir with MegaCrop

[Boradan]

@Boradan , Your plants are beautiful and healthy looking, great colors,
That's all I'm using from now on is MegaCrop and SweetCandy, And by the time I add 1teaspoon , 5-6grams, a gallon of water ofMegaCrop and a quarter teaspoon of SweetCandy my tap water comes out a perfect 6.2-6.4 ph. Man that's easy enough, with my tap water, I don't have any cal-mag problems. But I do use cal-mag, the first couple of weeks though.
I don't know enough about MegaCrop, to know if I need to cut back in flower, But I'm going to cut back about half a teaspoon, anyway , until I get used to growing with it.
But my plants sure love it.
Ever now and then I get a purple looking stem, but seems its in cooler weather when I get them. Or either a strain that turns colors.
Anyway ,sorry for the ramblings, But your plants look great,man.

My tap water is 200ppm+ and fairly hard, but I still got calmag issues with the 4AM. Had to add Calmag which had N, so that gave me an N Toxicity on 3 plants, so had to dial back on the MegaCrop.
The water pH is ALSO high as fuck... 8.4 when I was doing the change yesterday...
The 2 plants I mentioned (Dark Devil and Dinamed CBD) are both purple flowers:
Dark Devil:

Dinamed:

I have defoliated twice (fairly heavily), but I will probably hit them again by the weekend.

@Boradan , absolutely stunning, and I mean that, too. Plus dynamite pictures! !!
Great job with your plants, and I hope you have a wonderful harvest.
I'm sure you will.

SCROG time for all of the ladies - well, apart from the 4AM which is barely poking it's head above the net.

Still a little more training to do, but I will let them settle for a few days and then cut off all of the branches/leaves that look like they won't make it above the netting.
A lot of lowers have already been removed from the Northern Lights, Dark Devil and Dinamed CBD. The 4AM has had nothing done to it apart from topping and 2 branches LST'ed for a few days.
I want to end up with as flat a canopy as possible to maximise the light availability.

You are doing a great job here, especially managing to turn them around from the issues, never mind the mishap you had.

The reward is coming, I can see it already. Well played on the work you have put in there, especially on the defoliation, topping and LST to get that spread

I get the feeling that something is out to get me though.
Woke up this morning to a power cut. No idea how long it lasted, so the ladies could have been out of light, water re-circulation and Airstones for anything from 5 minutes to 8.5 hours.
This is rural Ireland, so maybe those buggers in the local church (about 100m from me) are up to something...

Day 47 Update
Just a quick update today.
Even though I had increased the ppm from 600ish to 700, the ppm was still dropping daily, while the pH was increasing slightly.
This let me know that the ladies need more feed.
10g of Mega Crop added now to bring the ppm to 730.
Might need to add a touch more as this is only marginally above the 700 it started with on this feed.
Temps are still around the 23C mark and Humidity around 60%
Also added a touch of pH down to get the pH from 6.2 to 6.0

New shot of the canopy from the side window:

It's about as even as I can get it right now.
The 4AM on the right being slow is screwing with my OCD...

Just been read thru your grow/tent full of pit falls and old demons I know it must be the church next door. Impressive looking grow. Keep it growing and say your prayers at night

Indeed
There's always going to be pitfalls, but it isn't stressing me - its just fun to grow - even when sh!t happens.
Well, to be honest, there was a modicum of stress when I discovered 40 litres of water trying to get from my spare bedroom to my kitchen without using the stairs...
