Oh Shit!
so much for trusting the stat sheets.... The ones on the left may be alright They are tied to the scrog net for about 18 in (except for the very center). The girls on the right are going to be an issue for certain. Outside is not an option, and I don't have lights to just put them in a DWC bucket in the open room. Gonna have to thunk on it for a day or two.
Feel your pain bro I vegged almost 1.5 weeks to long last grow ... Fucking stressful.Well to say things are over crowded is an understatement. As can be seen in the photos, i am completely out of room and have no way to move them. I have performed some LST magic but that only went so far. I was able to lay down about 6 healthy main stem which now have long full buds. It is a good thing i decided to leave the five late comers alone and not top them (Thanks Aquaman!). 3 of them have a single main cola, so i am going to promote those by trimming most of what is below the primary bud. The fourth is just too short and will probably fall to the knife. All it has is small buds and it falls in the lie of the taller ones mentioned above.
As for the rest of the jungle.... i think i am just going to pray and hope for the best. I have about 6-8 main cola's that are of respectable size and the canopy is dense. No light penetrates beyond 18 inches max, so every thing below that is coming out.
I have placed extra fans in the bottom to force air up through the canopy as well as a couple blowing down.
As luck would have it, i lost an entire bank of LED's in one of my lights.Contacted the vendor and they started they the RMA and said i could wait until the grow was finished.
On the last plant that was topped. It was late & slow so i simply cut off the main stalk (a beheading) to hopefull force grow to happen on the remaining branches lower down. We'll see. lol (i will probably do the same to those touching the light. The sooner, the better i think).
Bottom line here is that it is a real shit show. I will get some large buds, but there will also be a lot of waste, I will milk them all i can and cut only when each is ready. However this will delay the start of my next grow. So be it.. I have learned my lesson; i have been humbled... again!
U should of lst and super cropped ur plants and actually utilize that scrog...Also you might want to add another layer to ur scrog just change the attachment points on it and ratchet straps work great for them..Not sure if the screws in your net get in your way but if they do you could just finished drilling the holes all the way thru the net and then thread them thru as that's how I did mine the 2nd time and it's much much better the screen is more even and square and tought too which is nice. As I have dreads and mine kept getting caught in the screws which just wasn't working for me...
If you used 3/4 PVC for your scrog you could use 1in cross for the 2nd level scrog and it will be adjustable...View attachment 913874
You saying you popped too many beans all depends on the beans fem,regular,autos etc..How are you liking your superponics setup...I have the 2x2 well it's actually 24x21 I.d of it...However I use it for propagating and if I get a male stud I like and don't have anything else going in it I'll flower males in it or I set up my other 2x2 and that one I can fit 4 5gal buckets which is really nice as dwc buckets fit in there perfect...
Also there really isn't a specific height for scrogging it mainly depends on ur grow room..Like how much height you have to play with..And the plant itself..See I supercrop mine so I scrog that way and the 2nd and or 3rd layer of trellis is strictly for bud weight I also like to make the scrogs a diff size from the top and bottom ones but not always my nets I have now uses both 4in squares I have a 3rd net too I can use if needed...
Ya lollipop trimming is a must have IMO esp indoors not only does it give the ladies airflow under their skirts lol but u dont have all that larf trash and the plant can put her energy into the top colas fuck the edible material vs top grade...
the buds being that close to the lights is pretty concerning maybe lst them and get them away from that light before it gives unrepairable damage....If it hasn't already...Also depends what week ur in too..
. Not sure if ur cabinet has the shelf on the top or the bottom as they used to be on top and now the new ones are on the bottom which I would much rather have but o well it is what it is. But u could move the shelf if yours is on top and get you a extra 16in or so which your ladies would thank-you for tremendously...If that's a 2x4 you flower in you could do 4 plants too if not and do a lil more pheno hunting for a plant u love and want to breed with lol...
. However I believe u run autos since u were talking seeds from the same breeder instead taking clones which can't happen w autos...I've seen ppl with auto who grow their plants to about 12in tall and they will supercrop about 4in from the bottom and it worked really well for them that way...
. I've also seen ppl grow them in a spiral and just lst them about the hole time wait til the plant will make it to the end of the pot lst and just have it grow around the pot and u end up with a nice manifold and some nice colas for autos might want to give it a try..
. I'm not a auto guy tho I like being able to take clones and breed anything I want.
I imagine your 40gal res is a top off for bloom as having a top off and the plants keeping constant levels they really appreciate..
So for seeds tbh I really like the superponics dwc top feed esp the top feed for early on makes it as a set it and forget it just about which is great..As I was using that however I built a lpa/fogponics cloner / pre veg and early veg as it's a 17gal commander tote it has about 5gal in it tho and so far it's been working great.. However having a seal on the lid is a must have for lpa...
Do you have any pics of the back of your bloom tote on how it's all hooked up thanks

These clones are getting tossed they was just a experiment I was running with a few things there was more plants in there too doing diff plant training like manifold and mainline and doing it diff variations too like how many branches etc ..Also lighting schedule of 4hr on 2hr off x4 a day however I had to cut it short I only did it for a few wks and have mixed results so will have to do it again some other time def not doing that shit on a fire strain and a seed of all ...As clones aren't really a big deal and all...
HARVEST UPDATE!!!
Well it looks like the first large cut will be next weekend. I will take the largest 4 colas and leave the others for another week and see where we end up.
These photos were taken ten days apart. The top photo was taken today; the second was taken on Nov. 24. This is the oldest of the 4 surviving plants.
Still topping off with just plain RO water. Over the Thanksgiving holiday I was gone for 5 days. Concerned that I had no one i trusted to enter the grow room; I set up three 5 gallon water bottles, each with a pump attached leading to a pvc manifold, then into the res. each pump was plugged into a single three out wi-fi timer on which each outlet could be triggered individually. I could top-off on schedule by simply using my phone.
here is the link to the unit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D3KSKN...colid=IZTXWOF2S7GC&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
The other photos are of the huge fist size buds that I intend to cut next Sunday.
Update!
Things got dicey on Friday. Came home and found the rez was leaking badly. When i found it, things must have just failed (luck) as it was a rapid drip, but only about 2 gallons in the spill tray (res holds 45 gal). I quickly moved the plants back to the other cabinet where the nuits were at half strength in anticipation of the new arrivals (Better than nothing). I figured out what parts i needed and got the Amazon bots moving. Delivery was supposed to be Saturday morning, which was fine because it was going to take some time to dry and paint the wooden base before I added the new & improved plumbing connections.
As it turned out my plumbing parts were coming from a metal shop in Midland, Texas; Enough said. Delivery was not made until 2pm today.
I got the rez repairs completed and pumped the 45 gallons of saved water back into the rez and did my total leak check. Checked the PH & other metrics and all were good. I added Life+ root protector which raised my PPM to 880
The sprouts were not affected, except to be moved from one cabinet to the other. I kept on only the T5's.
Now for the bad news. The center growth on both plants looks good (no spots or discoloration) however the larger leaves appear to be TOAST. Seems it did not like the drop in nuits, even if it was only for 2-3 days. I suspect a week of growth and these "leper" leaves will shrink and die off.
Good shit
Nah I'm relatively new to all things but thank for the compliment.Thank You sir! Most appreciated coming from you!A true OG..... Thanks for your help!
