Hello All

Things are going well i forgot to change the timers so they are still in veg but from the next lights out they are going in to flower

I put some tomato cages up kind of regretting it but to late now most likely damage some of the roots but i am sure they will be fine i think i like to spread them out with the netting so this is out of my comfort zone time will tell have any of you used them and what did you think of them... good and bad ... ?

the perlite girls are going to be big looks like a waste of space of the coco side :D and putting them in cages only made it worse

I have used the tomato cages they work good for smaller plants but not as well for the bushes. You have to make sure you stay on top of them during strech to guied the branches where you want them to be a trellis is deff better if you can keep things stationary. It almost works better to let the branches grow on the outside of the top rings and tie them to em. Instead of trying to get them inside the rings. What are you using for a rez with that 4 pot system. The growth rate sure is impressive two of those would fit perfectly in my tent.

Yeah i always train mine to be bushy i did use one when i did a main line but it was only the top half of the cage as i cut the rest off i am sure they will be fine my girls were looking a little stressed and i couldn't put my finger on it so i went to make sure the lights were turning off for sleepy time but it turns out one light was staying on so that's why they were stressed fix it now seems like it wasn't plugged in right so should hopefully be fixed now but ill keep a eye on it over the next few days

Rez is 26 gallons/100 liters but can only fill it with 80 liters/21 gallons feeding 4x28 liter/7 gallon pots Just using Canna Full line up no boost at this point topping up water once a week then at the end of the week doing a full flush and making a fresh mix also a silica and Floralicious plus and they seem to enjoy it i find the 100% perlite grow rate to be faster then the coco girls thanks for the help bro :weed:

hey man I was just reading back through your posts and saw that you use silica and floralicious and I just wanted to ask why, I know the silica is used to make your rez 'wetter' but I wanted to know if you had better results with that and also why the floralicious? Sorry to bug you with these nooby questions but since im running the same nutes I thought I'd ask to see why you use it incase im missing out on something big here...
