Update day 22
We're well into the veg stage and I recently did a little leave wrapping on the 2 most healthiest girls on day 19 and they have responded well! I plan to tie down some of the shoots later tonight right before feeding time! I also plan on chopping the ugly leaves from the Strawberry Nuggets and wrap some of her leaves too. I'm still feeding the same as last post. PPFD's are at 450, with a 24 hour light regiment due to the needed heat. Temps are fluctuating a bit with this crazy Kentucky weather, with high @ 81 F. & lows around 70. I got a little 500 watt heater coming from Amazon to help keep her constant with the coming ice age later this week, (forecasting a low of 2 degrees Thursday night). I've also been running my humidifier, so at least that's staying pretty constant & I only have to refill the 2 gallon tank about twice a week. I'm also plan to rerun my ducting to exhaust to the adjourning room, rather then sending the wasted heat outdoors. Anyways, that's all for now. Here's a couple pics and thanks for stopping by!

I thought since I was going through the hassle of moving them around, I'd go ahead and move the two healthiest girls to their final home under their own light, (Mars TS-1000). The 3 AutoCobs are also raised way up over the Strawberry Nuggets. I didn't worry about measuring this time, I just used my cheap PPFD app on my phone and got all the girls @ 450. I need all my lights running at full blast for the added heat they provide. I also plan on bumping up the feed a little more too. Once I get the SN moved, I'm going swap places with the humidifier and fan. I'm also trying to figure out a way to use my old AutoPot reservoir and either run some drippers or buy some blumats. I've never used either and if anyone has some experience with drain to waste with drippers or blumats, please hit me up with some recommendations. Here's some pics and thanks for dropping by! 
Of course, I live in Kentucky where if you don't like the weather, you just wait a day or two and it is certain to change! I was having my doubts if my girls would survive this past Friday when we started having rolling black outs for the 1st time in the state's history. Every 45 minutes the electric would go off for 15 minutes. The 1st time it came back on I went to power on the humidifier and the temp was 71F. The next time it was down to 69, so I cut the fan off and forgot about the humidifier for the rest of the day. Some of my friends lost power for 12 hours, so I lucked out on that one. I had an extra heater to add to the grow space that was supposed to get here Friday, but it's been stuck at the ups hub that's only 30 miles away since last Thursday. 
Anyways, I've upped the MegaCrop to 3 grams per gallon, Cal/Mag + @ 2 ml per gallon, with SM-90 and the occasional few drops of Superthrive. Here's some pics and thanks for stopping by! 
). I also plan on running some drippers, but I'm going to wait till around day 45ish before I'm ready to see what I can rig up and make work! Anyways, thanks for stopping by and please comment if you have any thing to input - good or bad .... Thanks again! 
But I feel like I've accomplished something, just not sure what. So the plan was to give all the girls a good flushing and I did, but after looking at the Strawberry Nuggets and wishing I had culled her a month ago.... I decided to get her out and trim her up again, but I also wanted to try and tie down a few of her stubby branches. But first I had to bring out the Chemdogging to make a path. So I trimmed her up a little too! Of course, Mephisto's Wedding also needed a trimming more than tthe CD. So I lugged her out of the grow space to the kitchen table just like the other 2. Keep in mind, I have what my doctor calls "end stage heart failure" and every time I moved a plant, (or do much of anything), I would have to rest for awhile just to catch my breath. It took me 4 hours to get it all done! I ended up flushing with 2 grams of MegaCrop per gallon and I gave each plant 2 gallons and got plenty of runoff. I did have to refill the res on my humidifier and I tried to clean up the algae that's been forming on my drain pan, but I didn't prepare and have the right cleaning supplies to do it right. So now I'm just trying to wind down enough to smoke something so I can get some rest. Sorry I didn't feel like taking any pics and also for the rant. Thanks for stopping by!
