Day 3 Flower.
We are now three days into 12/12 and everything seems to be going as well as can be expected. I have decided to let the Black Cherry Punch grow through the netting and not tuck the tops down anymore. They are definitely growing slower than the Fuel Og are. I will continue to tuck the Fuel for about 5 more days in an attempt to keep my canopy somewhat even but who knows how this is going to turn out.
Lighting at the canopy is currently 850-1050μmol across most of the entire grow area and the plants seem to love it.

Thanks for the kind words. I had a lot of time to install equipment/build everything to fit well together and look good while I saved cash to gather all my gear. Definitely didn't rush this rooms set up.

Day 4 Flower
More pictures.....
I am not happy how the LED lights are making the "top view" pics look. The plants look discoloured and like they have burnt leaf tips, I don't get it.
But here are a couple top view pics anyways. Just to see all the tops in my canopy if nothing else.
Fuel Og
Black Cherry Punch
And for whatever reason the side pics show the plants beautiful dark green colour that the plants truly are.

One Week into Flower (Day 7)
Had to raise the lights to 24". The planet were about 16-18" from the lights getting 1200 to 1400μmol. No signs of light stress though so the CO² must be helping them deal with it. After I raised my lights, I also turned the lights up to 100% power. Now at the far corners the plants are getting about 800μmol, directly under the lights the plants are getting 1100 - 1200μmol.
Hopefully this keeps the girls happy.

Stretch stretch stretch....
Damn these girls want to grow. They are stretching like crazy. I still have room to move the lights up but damn girls slow down. Gained about 2-3" in height today.

Day 12 Flower.
Well took 3x 5 gallon pails of fan leaves off but I still have a fucking jungle on my hands. The Black Cherry Punch are really starting to show buds and the Fuel Og's aren't far behind.
Started adding Green Planet Nutrients Resin and PK Spike. Ppm's are around 1100ppm.
Still waiting in my Hanna EC/Ph meter to arrive. Guess it was back ordered. But it did ship today.
The plants look beat up because of the defoliation but the pic gives you a look at what I am dealing with. The BCP are on the left half, the Fuel Og are on the right half.

Lucky Day 13 Flower.
So as I mentioned earlier we did some defoliating in the room. I honestly think the girls need more but I will wait 5 or 6 days then give them another and final hair cut. At that time I will hang and start running the two California Lightworks UVB lights.
What do ya'll think....about a pound?

Today the plants continued their stretch-a-thon and some of the Fuel Og's were getting pretty close to the lights. The tallest ones were within 14 " of the lights getting a little over 1400μmol. So we raised the center light a couple inches and the light directly over the Fuel Og about 5 inches. Now I am about 1230μmol across most of the grow area.
Other than that, not a lot going on in there. I can't wait to see them chunk out. Getting so close to the exciting part of the grow.
I did contact Growtek lastnight. I sent them an email at 9:30pm and to my surprise they answered within 5 minutes, I wasn't expecting them to get back to me until Monday. I am going to try the fertigation system I have seen others on this site using with pretty good success. Hopefully it works out better than that stupid fucking Autopot system

I have a 4 pot system with the fabric pots. Haven't tried it yet.Today the plants continued their stretch-a-thon and some of the Fuel Og's were getting pretty close to the lights.

All the reviews I've read are love or hate with hate seemingly winning.
Gonna break down and try it out this spring.
Maybe

What did people not like about it? Is there failures? Clogging issues? It's hard to find info on it out there.
I really don't want a repeat of the autopot system. Still kicking myself in the ass over buying that shit system.

Most complaints about the older units with smaller lines and having clogging issues. A few were having overflow.What did people not like about it? Is there failures? Clogging issues? It's hard to find info on it out there.

There was not alot of info just read through some forums on a couple sites.

Yeah I read about the flooding issues from the siphoning it would create but I am going to get the anti-siphon valves. As for clogging, that could be an issue but I would have the updated bigger lines since it would be bought new. Hopefully it doesn't clog. I do run pretty clean nutrients so hopefully that helps. I also have some drip clear or whatever it is called to prevent build ups in the lines. Hopefully, fingers crossed it works out for me. Also there are some real idiots out there, maybe that plays into some of the past failures too. Who knows.

I have the autopot. Not the growtech.
Have Jack's to try in the autopot. Jack's users claim it to be cleaner as it doesn't have the organic inputs that megacrop has.
Have also been looking at the blumat system.
