Day 13F
These plants have more than doubled in size. I'm definitely going to have to install another net and bend the tops. Everything looks super healthy though. Thinking about looking into another 630 cmh that has a remote ballast. I would be able to go up another 8" if the ballast and cord weren't in the way.

Looking good man, should move your ballast outside ya tent, solve 2 problems man, space and heat.

A lot of these cmh ballast are attached to the hood. I'm looking into the one that have a horizontal ballast. Honestly the ballast doesn't give off much heat, just sucks its vertical wasting space

Our CMH ballast can be attached to or detached from the reflector. Please visit our website: https://www.sunplix.com/product-category/fixtures/

Do you guys have a dual 315w bulb unit instead of the 630w DE?

All those are really nice and a little pricey for me, but I'm looking for a dual bulb in a single hood with either a remote ballast or one with a horizontal ballast. That way I have the capability to raise it as high as it can go with barely any space between the top of the hood and the ceiling of my tent

Week 2 of Flower day 14
So last night was the 2 week mark for flowering. Plants are ranging from 34" to 37" in height. 10" to 13" more than I would have liked. Some have grown more than double in size since the 12/12 flip and I don't think they're done, I have a feeling they're going to stretch some more. I tried putting another trellis net, but it was to much of a pain in the ass. I ended up using garden wire ties, I tied the middle of the stalk to one side of the square on the existing netting, then I bent the tops in the opposite direction has far as they can go. I gave them another defoliation cause they were getting out of hand. Tonight I will be changing my reservoir and I will give another update.

Looks like the light is not evenly distributed. Maybe I am wrong.

It is, my plants are raised off the floor to allow drainage out the tent. That's one of the reasons I'm running out of space. I also should have vegged for 1 week instead of 2. This is my first run in over 10 years, but also first time in a tent.

Per my General Hydroponics feeding chart my ppm should be between 1100-1650. I'm still not grasping on how to raise it. I have a 20 gallon reservoir, I use RO water, pH is 6, any one know how to go about this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here's how much of everything I put per gallon;
GH Floranova Bloom- 7.5ml
GH Rapid Start- 1ml
GH Koolbloom- 2.5ml
GH Diamond nector- 5ml
GH Floricisious plus- 1ml
GH Flora Blend- 5ml
GH Armor Si- 2.5ml
GH Calimagic- 5ml
CE Sugaree- 5ml
Ph is at 6, ppm is at 880

Would 3 over a 3x6 tray be overkill?

Maybe you have a hard water chart? Either way your plants looks healthy. I don’t think we need as much as most ppl say we need for most applications tbh. Some strains can take high ppm and some can’t. But I haven’t noticed a diff in yields when I was at 1300 ppm vs 900. Except some plants burn with higher ppm. Some don’t react negatively but I’ve still ended up with the same avg yield. Most likely a waste of nutrients lol....
