First Organic Grow... No Till Style!

I went and acquired 100 red wigglers for the plants. I split them up evenly among the 7 in the veg tent. Went in and laid down a mulch on all the plants and gave them a feeding of
1/4 cup fresh young coconut water per gal
1/4 tsp 200x organic aloe powder
5ml agsil
1/2 tsp TM7 per 5 gal
I'm going to take a few more clones tomorrow and try using aloe Vera water with rapids rooters.

Took me a clone of each strain I have using the CC cloning method. Still need to sex the OG Raskal Wi-Fi Aliens. Everything else are from feminized seeds. I hope they are not herm prone. Wanted to veg them until the pre-flowers/maturity showed but I don't think I will be able to. Freaking ladies are growing like no tomorrow.

Here is a bit of bud porn from my previous Coco DTW with Raw Diesel. I was feeding everyday with H&G cocos A&B.

I have a few questions for the tent growers using no-till. Do you all veg to a certain height? I'm using new strains and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot. I'm thinking flower them all at 18-24 inches to be safe.
 
I am ready to start another organic section in the grow room. I have a few 2 gallon smart pots and a few 5 gallon smart pots. I want to only veg the clones from 2-3 weeks. I have some hydroton, coots mix kit, a bale of peat, and a ton of "organic" bottles nutes I have left over that I got for free; for example Iguana Juice. I didn't want to buy anything else and just wanted to use what I had. Any ideas?
 
Gave the plants a SST. All the new strains are over 14" tall. I do not want to flower them until they are showing pre-flowers/maturity. But given how they are climbing they might have to go into 12/12. I have 10 clones that will be put into my 600w vertical grow. Also a few of my leaves are doing a folding up like a taco a bit. Any suggestions?

Just got some homemade vermicompost but after looking through it I seen these getting it on. I think they are millipedes. Should I be worried about them?

All the plants are over 18" tall. Here are a few pics for reference. I'm going to have to flower these soon. Hope they don't stretch too much. I took pictures of the front and top of each plant.
1st:CSG Rainbow Jones
2nd:RP Skywalker Kush
3rd:HSO Blue Dream
4th:710 Seeds Cheese
5th:OG Raskal Wi-Fi Alien #2
6th: OG Raskal Wi-Fi Alien #1
I am hoping the Wi-Fi Alien #2 is female. They are different phenotypes.

My new batch of living soil is looking much better than the first. It is cooking and making some heat. Pretty interesting. I did add alfalfa meal to this batch which I read can be "hot". Well here are the plants in the 4x8 tent. I'm not sure I can fit the white fire aliens under the 1000w light. Might need to drop the 600w bare bulb and do my ventilation over. Run 2 fans instead of one. Still not sure yet.... It's pretty warm here.

Well I turned the lights on and the temperature was 90 degrees Fahrenheit. SMH... I think I'm going to have to pop the ladies in the 5x5 grow tent and grow them vertically. I will make some dry runs to work the ventilation. I think it will run cooler due to more flow. Still trying to figure out what combination of lights to run and what wattage.
 
So the temperature problem has been resolved so far. Here are the 7 plants in the flower room. I am using the 5x5 tent. I decided to run them in a vertical style grow. I have a feeling the strains are going to stretch a good bit.

Have you considered switching to LED?
 
Here is the feed schedule I adopted. The plants have not shown any flowers yet. I have a new batch of clones getting ready for the veg room. Running a perpetual grow is pretty much a job. But no-till has made it fun!
Day 1:
Puréed sprouts (about one to two cups seed sprouted, puréed and diluted to 15-20 gal water)
10ml fulpower fulvic acid
5ml agsil (equal to protekt)

Day 2:
No Water

Day 3:
Plain Water

Day 4:
No Water

Day 5:
1/4 cup fresh young coconut water per gal
1/4 tsp 200x organic aloe powder
5ml agsil

So one of the Wi-Fi Aliens turned out to be a male. I have not gotten rid of it yet. I will remove it soon though. I think I want to separate it and dust a few ladies with its pollen. It would save me having to buy seeds for when I want to try something new. Any suggestions on how to go about it? I read some of the breeding threads.

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I have some life shooting up from the new batch of soil I been cooking. Also a few more clones in the veg area.
