(photo) week 2 of flower

First off I must apologize to @Duggy and @DutchPassionTony and to everyone else for the slack journal, my life has got in the way in a big way but is now calming down and I have all the time to give.
So where are we at... due to my life I kept the girls in veg for as long as I could so I could complete this journal... they got to big if you hadn't guessed. This is my first photo run so I'm having some important timing lessons to learn as go.

Got the new tent built (4x3x5) with a new light, 8 x 1212 @1050ma, 5 x 3000k and 3 x 4000K

Built frame for the girls to sit in with a scrog net, it the only way this tent will work. Now i know it looks like Armageddon in there, I did feel real bad about chopping and knocking them about to get them to fit., took them about week before i flipped them
top row, left to right, phenos 01, 02, 03, and bottom row 04, 05 and 06... before I flipped them no.03 and 05 was showing to be the stronger of the 6 but now we are in full flower no.01 and 02 are proving to be the vigorous out of the six.

So what are we in growing in - coco / perlite 50/50 mix
Nutes - Remo, mammoth P, AV big bud and over drive.
Plants are on a drip feed system, twice a day with lights on and a third feeding every 3 days... when the rez runs out they get a day or 2 of ph'd RO water, maybe with some sugers.

First couple of days after the carnage of the scrog...

the day we flipped... again looking like carnage, I've been using the GML (of you tube fame) topping technique. Works so well, better than pinching the tops off.

Installed a secound trellis, not sure if i will need it, we shall see.
A collection of the first week of flower, you can see that no.01 and 02 are racing ahead... I think this is because they got far less mistreating when the scrog went in, hardly had to cut them back

You can see the new tent build better in this pic

That manifold you see in the pic I DO NOT RECOMMEND for irrigation... that is my 4th in 3 months. They all spring a leak, they are design for air not water no matter what the hydro shop says. I'm limping this one through just about with aluminum tape. I have another design to try out on my next run.

WP_20171109_17_39_23_Rich.jpg


I even have a white board... if ya interested this is what the girls are on, all remo, the BB stands for Big Bud by Advance nutes and the S is for silicon which I mainly use to ph up. I'm thinking of lowering it a little on the next rez top up to about 1.4 / 1.5 EC.

here's a good tip... are you growing in a cold UK loft like me, water rez getting cold now the winter is here. Well the answer is to use a fish tank heater. I have one on a timer, comes on 45mins before a feed and switches off as the feed starts. Water temp up to 20c in no time. Top job, no more purpling stems... well pleased with my self on that one

i dont want to alarm you slater but there appers to be some kind of spider octopus creature climbing all over your plants :crying::crying::crying: on a serious note they look like there loving the remo nutes how long have you been on 12/12 now :pass:
 
Oh! You are going to get real busy keeping that canopy even. I imagine buds just everywhere in 6-7 weeks. Perfect growing! Maybe i missed it, but what is the size of the frame/tent? 100 by 120cm?

Its a secret jardin lodge 120 with the inside wall removed... its really 117cm x 87cm x 145cm. I've lost 15cm in height to get the extra foot print with this tent.
I'm expecting some fun over the next week keeping them in check. Will defoliate and lollipop next week, they need it real bad, super bushy and thick a few inches down.
