Also switched the 'Bloom' light, meaning total 600w, with light around 15-18 inches above.

5ML EACH CANNA A&B
5ML RHIZO
4ML CANAZYME
5ML TERPINATOR
Mixed in 5l PH 6.2 Water,250ppm.

All fed 1L each, light raised 3 inches up for wider spread, now the girls are growing.

Ive started to move fan leaves - just tucked under a few potential bud sites.
So this is where this great community can help.
with having 3 plants/different strains in 1 small grow tent, what would be the best way to procede?

As i believe one of the in particular - The ''Bubblegum X FAT HOG'' doesnt like any lst/spg/scrog.
*BTW Ive been calling it Bubblegum x OG Kush, know idea why??

Also moved grow room to a slightly better place with more ventilation and cleared and cleaned everything out apart from the girls and a small fan for now, but will be adding the extractor and carbon filter soonish.
And they are still listening to classical music?

Some photos taken today 10pm.
No water or nutes since mondays 1 litre each.
Got a second NAILGIRLS LED 600W coming to increase footprint,
Which i will 'DAISY-CHAIN'.

Think really need to do some kind of 'twisting/bending/training' as
theres now getting quite a lot of bud sites, i know the second light will help overall
but it still wont penetrate much below canopy, so could someone advise me on
what to do next.

Looking at growth in the last 10 days im thinking only 1 more week veg?
Espescially seen as i will have 2 lights on full by then then (8 days 900w, then 1200w,
until last 2 weeks of flower then down to '600w Bloom Only'.

Looks like nexts feed will be tomorrow, usual feed as last time, but i now have ''Superdrive''
so will be adding 5ml in 5L with the other nutes.

Finally in response to 'maboofarm'.
I have grown before as a kid, but didnt even look at anything to do with growing.
As a seasoned smoker, i wanted to grow my own mainly becuase the only local dealer where i live (rural UK)
just sell bag weed really (never frosty) Whereas I enjoy the flavours, aromas and the pure joy of getting a tiny little seed
and growing something that not only will save thousands of pounds/dollars but looks incredible, these plants we grow
are truly beautiful things.

So ive spent since April this year reading every website/guides/ebooks to 'learn' how to grow
the best with whatever you have.
So this ive invested id say £450 for a little setup that will produce high quality high yield and i know
what im getting.
There are still many many things i dont know, but ask me in 20 more years and ill see if ive learnt even more.

With the world as it is, wars/famines/droughts/floods/oil prices/food prices etc..
Im so glad i decided to do this as now it isnt a hobby, its a passion.

(oh and the missus wants to go ''Benidorm, Spain'' on holiday next year, Ive already found some 'Coffeshops' over
there!! sssh dont tell the missus)

You really need to dial back your feeding, its too much if those are doses per litre, over time i would say you more than likely gonna run into some kinda of over fert symptoms or lockout of some sort. I`d be very surprised if you didn`t. Ive used Canna A&B coco ferts for near on 20 years and know them pretty well by now. Tbh they look lovely for high dose ferts your feeding atmo.

Go with>>>>>

Canna A&B > Go 2ml per ltr then up that to between 2.5ml - 3ml for first 4 weeks of bloom before dropping back to 2ml for rest of grow.

Rhizo > I never used it but that can be dropped altogether after 3 or 4 weeks of 12/12. 5ml seems alot when you could prolly get it doing same jobby on half that dose if its per litre

Cannazyme > Fuck knows i cant see point of this stuff when growing with fert salts, yes ok if growing organically. Other peeps opinions may differ.

Terpinator > Hmmm never used it but id prolly half that 5ml a litre dose and I'd only start using it from first sign of buds, seems a real waste giving it a vegging plant

Benidorm here we come, love it. :running-around: :nice:

The nutes are mixed in a 5 Litre, then i kust pour a liter.
The doses given are alot lower than the recommended, and as so far everything
is 100% perfect, and today to the list of nutes ill also be adding
5ml of Superdrive.
(however theres only around a liter of nute water left so that means even less nutes, apart from adding superdrive)
So split 5l it means technically they are having around 1ml of each nute.

Also im more of of less is more grower, i NEVER soak the pots in water from start to finish.
Only use few hundred ml first 2 weeks, then added nutes and went to 500ml, then to 1L.
As i approach the switch, i shall increase slowly to 3l per pots mid flower.

i also never have run off, as i believe in the wild cannabis is never soaked, so why would we do it now, i know to help clear the nutes near the end, but thats another topic all together)

Thank you for your input, i shall take it onboard in case i get any probs.

Usually when giving feed doses out most peeps in UK use "mls per litre" and not "mls per 5ltre" which i think is what your doing, but i maybe wrong again. No sweat though just crossed wires. :rolf:
