B.c. nutes

Screen didnt do much i dont think cause alot of growth under it but it did get light to some inner nodes. Lmk what you think! Hoping mabe possibly 3 oz a plant. Plants kinda small though but buds got huge in last week with co2

Looking really nice.. You will get a whole lot more bud growth in the last 2wks or so of flower.. Thats why its so important to be patient at the end.

like nick sais patience is all ! the screen will support the buds when they get heavier so it will be great to have unless you want your buds hitting the floor .
Your light looks a bit far of tho ? maybe its just me.. other then that looks great! is it your first grow or first crop with new equipment? if first timer i salute you for good work . 3000w first time woulda been nice

Yeah. I try to stay out of room now except once at lights on for watering and once before i leave just before they turn off to check everything. Was thinking of buying an additive like big swell or something for last 2 week but the kit i have comes with whole chart so prob just stick to what i have for now. The close up is cotton candy. Its an awesome looking plants. I stalled it cause i didnt catch onto yellowing enough so not many leafs on it but buds growing so live an learn. The green love looks lovely. 3 nice tops and ton of shoots with nice buds... jamacain choco has TON of small bud sites everywhere but no main cola looking ones. Hopefully its not a 10week + plant.

This is first grow period... lights are cooled and hung from top so they could be closer but i seen tons of videos where lights at top of room way farther than mine are and buds were nice. Lights are 4ft above the net itselfs.

Mine are 18 inches..cooltube..flowering is 12.

The closer the better for your lights. If you can keep the temperatures in check, get them as close as possible without losing your desired footprint! I have my 400w HPS bat wing shade with just air blowing in the bud area on the top of the canopy and the light is about 6-8 inches above my canopy top.

Your grow looks great for a first time dude. If you want to maximize yield next time make sure you dont have open spots in your canopy. Those spots where you can see the floor is just wasted lumens. Like the guy above said you can lower those lights a bit.
