Day 29 of veg and also the last day of veg as my lights will be going off in the morning ready to start the flowering stage :) i constructed a watering system out of some hose,cable ties,a bottle and 3 bottle lids it did my head in trying to water the back pots last time it aint pretty but it works ;)
mixed my flowering nutes up 100ml of hesi coco bloom and 20ml of hammerhead PK in 20 liters of water to give a reading of 680 ppm
each plant will have 30 squares each on the screen to try and fill,except the freebie seed i got this will just try and fill the nearest available space,anyway some pics

Cheers mate I'll add another 20ml of hammerhead that'll be full strength and should push my ppm up a bit do I include the ppm of my water or not?

Here's some info that I have been following, when ur mixing the nutes and additives, keep a ratio of 65% Base Nute(A&B) and 35% additives.
Use the mixed that u already made and for the next mix keep in mind about 65-35 ratios.
Start with low dosage of additive and watch the plants reaction. Here's why, I started using Sillica Blast and I noticed my leaves were looking little bit off so I immidiatley figured out it's the sillica that it's making the leaves curl little bit. So be careful!!!

Are u using any fan blowing under ur netting? and I noticed with ur last grow u weren't trimming the bottom branches that were under the netting to avoid mold and mildew.
I'm very excited for ur grow. U r doin great!!!

glad you lot liked my watering system :) first feed tonight zibra but on my last grow i was watering 2 pints everyday and they loved it, but ill have to see on this grow as its a bit colder with the lights off now probably wont dry out as quick and their in 11 liter pots i got ducting from my intake fan pointing down blowing air from outside the room onto them i did have a pc fan hooked up to a 12v charger but i swear its louder than both my 4" inlines so i don't use it
i didn't bother trimming the lower branches only coz i couldn't reach the back ones i only removed the dying or dead leaves this way after i chopped my main buds the lower buds/popcorn buds got all the light for another couple of weeks to fattened up,i reckon i got about 5oz dry off the lower buds :) no mold issues either

some sort of deficiency showing on one plant hopefully the flowering nutes will sort it out lights on temp 22c lights off 12c is this to cold??

12c is too cold, use a heater. Your ppm is too high drop it to 700. what additives are u using with ur A&B? keep in your mind 65/35 ratio. The color looks good. I say it's from one of the additives that ur putting too much.

Watching this grow with interest just started a similar grow but in biobizz allmix soil, 10 fem bbbc and 8 fem the ultimate from dp. Still at seedlings stage at moment. In 1.2 x 2.4 tent 6" intake and outlet fans and filter. 2 x 600w dual spec lights in 1.5ltr pots at moment will be in 11ltr for veg and flower will be using hesi full range of nutes and boosters. Hope to keep 8 of the strongest bbbc and veg all for just 3 weeks before flowering.
Good luck with your grow mate looking good.

I was gonna LST or scrog them, you reckon scrog is the way to go? Might give it a bash. I could manage 2 m2 scrog pretty comfortable, more vegging time involved though isn't it? I was hoping for 2 crops by the summer, the 2nd being quicker due to using cuttings rather than from seed again.
35-40 oz sounds good. I'll let you know how it goes.

It was more vegging time on my last one(14 days seedling stage and 7 weeks veg) but not this time 12 days seedling stage and then 29 days veg so 4 weeks veg when using cuttings not much lst'ing this time a bit of topping,and it is easier than I thought moving them to the next square on the grid coz they only stretch for a couple of weeks,good luck mate which ever method you choose :)
