So much has happened - sorry for the brief hiatus been a crazy 2 weeks.

I'm not sure if its the nutrients, or the MH lighting but the plants have really taken off.. I'm definitely seeing growth that i'm not used to with the Advanced nutrients line i'm using.

Sensi grow A/B + b52 + sensizyme so far. I have a bunch of goodies for flowering.. can't wait to see how that goes. The plants have several node sites already - its surprising to see.

I'll get back to posting more regularly :) thanks for following guys.

Another thing i've seen is - pretty much everywhere you look , people are asking about feeding schedules with the Sensi line in hydro.

What ive done through my experimentation is 100ml of part A and 100ml of part B, 50ml of B52 at one feeding per week -- yup thats right. This is in a 10Gallon res. I've only res fed them once for the entire week, and have been topping off with ph'd water. Other than that I have been foliar feeding every day with the same mixture at about 25% of the strength. the yellow spotting on the plant to the left came from when i hadn't fed them enough at all during seedling phase. I guess the NYPD is a little more needy then the others. While i was setting up my trellis for the LST i'm about to attempt I made a rookie mistake and did not secure the item I crafted lol it fell on top of the NYPD and beheaded it. - The good news however is that she has recovered, and come back with 2 primary nodes :) *Unintentional topping ftw*.

This is my first scrog attempt, if you guys have any suggestions please feel free to let me know

Feeling: Impressed with advanced nutrients right now!! :) I will give my final yae or nae on this product when the grow is done. But as of right now - the girls have done more branching than i've seen before.. ever in the last few years.

Okay guys.. so as this is my first time scrogging the plants are finally starting to grow through my scrog screen. I am bending them back down. The black jack plant in the front however is growing more wildly than i've expected and even without topping there are atleast 8 or 9 different shoots that have grown vigorously enough to become tops themselves. So i don't really plan on topping it at this point with it growing the way it is.. My question is - for the scroggers out there, how important is it to trim the plants.. do i trim the fan leaves? I plan on leaving them in veg for atleast another 2 weeks.

Just an update - but all is well :) The girls are growing beautifully. The blackjack has a ridiculous amount of branching still which is wonderful.. cant wait until they are done

did a little defoliation tonight, just to increase the light penetration since the plants off chutes are growing strong into the trellis, I figure if I promote their growth rather than topping and just train them instead it may be better off for my yield in the long run. but things are right on track. Debating doing another 100 ML feeding on Friday, and letting them veg for another week.

how much are u feeding them now per litre?

Also what are you spraying them with?
@machead I'm feeding them 100ml of PH perfect Sensi grow A and 100ml of B + 40ML AN B-52 once per week, this is in a 10 GAL res -- (usually either fri or sat) then through the week just topping them off with water. I'm foliar feeding them with a similar mix at 25% strength. This will be my last veg week as i'm starting to notice interchanging nodes - i'm excited for the flip :) this is also my first go at Scrog. I didnt end up topping them or anything, but I have been training them and the branches are nice and healthy.

this is about 2.6 2.7 ML per liter btw. i've had great results.. and been dialing it up slightly every so often. 100 in a 10 gal res once per week is the sweet spot i found so far.. I started even lighter than this and noticed deficiencies. I'm sure if i wanted i could probably even make it a bit stronger, but with the performance i've seen so far i'm happy with it.

Just fed them their veg formula for the last week - next week i'm going to ease them into the Advanced Nutrients PH perfect Connoisseur A & B. This run i'm also going to be trying Bud factor X, bud ignitor, overdrive, big bud, and final phase. :)

Okay so tonight.. I developed this haunting suspicion that the mystery seed i planted in the back left is a male.. I dunno maybe its just my canna-intuition but the plant in the back left seems awfully mature and is growing vigorously compared to the seeds that I know are supposed to be feminized.

This plant was always the genetically mutated one of the group too lol ever since it sprouted its always had fucked up weird looking leaves and what not but i'm *Pro-mj life* so i decided to let it go and see what happens. I also was taking note of all of the leaves and bud sites and what not and The dis-formed plant in the back has fan leaves with like 14 leaves on them ! o.o All i can keep thinking is how badly i'm hoping its a girl and how badly i want to smoke it if so LOL. 1 more week until I sex them all and see what we've got.

So, I did some more training tonight, bent more branches over etc, etc. :) I think things are going well so far.. I'm still very suspicious of the plant in the back left.. My gut is telling me its going to be a male.. it smells strong, and spicy. I've got numerous node sites and the only one that was accidently topped was the NYPD. but shes doing well and her two main stems are back in business. 3 more days until 12/12!

Foliar Feeding w/ Advanced Nutrients has been a huge success in my opinion. I've been foliar feeding / root zone feeding with advanced nutrients sensi grow A/B + B-52, twice a day on the foliar feed for pretty much the entire veg cycle at 25% strength and regular rez feeding once a week at about 75-80% suggested A/N strength in a 10 gallon setup. After taking this picture tonight I can say with all certainty that i'm a believer in this product lol. I'm switching from Gen hydro 3 part nutes and the sheer amount of branching and veg health is obvious, considering this is also my first time using these nutrients ever.

So the plan for this weekend is the flip!! 12/12 time, and i'll also be switching over to A/N Connoisseur A/B for flowering + a few goodies I've picked up. Bud factor x, Bud Ignitor, over drive, sensizyme and big bud. Stay tuned :)

I think my first Scrog is turning out to be a success as well :) these results are with no topping. (besides the plant on the front left which was accidentally beheaded when I was mounting my scrog net) The majority of these sites are just regular branches.
