I'm all caught up now and I subbed up as well. Looks like I got here just in time and can pull up a chair to watch the plants come down soon. It obviously sucks that nanners began showing up but I think you'll be just fine after spraying them. I'll look through my handwritten journal tonight and see what I mixed the dose at. And to confirm, they were only sprayed once (I was a bit fuzzy on remembering that from another thread or post).
I saw that earlier on when you were just getting things going that you had questions about coco coir. I'm sure you already know by now (since you read my journal) that I'm a big fanboy of coco+flood drain. I grew in soil for years and always hand watered, never really considering ebb & flow as something that would fit my style. Now I took a long break from growing, but after coming back I grew in a coco/soil mix with decent results, but I still wasn't satisfied... so I tried coco in a drain to waste style. Viola! Faster growth than soil but not quite as vigorous as a DWC can explode. The problem was I had to be in the garden every other night to water them. I like the results but I wasn't thrilled with the amount of labor I was putting into the garden.
I decided to pretty much mimic what VaderOG concocted, using pure coco in a flood and drain application. The big kicker is that instead of using Canna's hydro line of nutrients, Vader decided to just run his Canna Coco A+B in the reservoir. Canna doesn't necessarily 'approve' or advertise this method, but the results speak for themselves. Regular nursery pots are used, and a coco fiber liner pot is used inside the nursery pot to prevent the coco medium from coming out of the drain holes. The best part of this method for me is that the watering is automated. It free's up my time significantly where now my time in the garden is spent looking to optimize and watch the plants and smoke a joint, instead of being hunched over with my 2 gallon sprayer. I'm surprised more growers haven't adopted this style yet, but there's so many damn ways to skin a cat that I'm still learning new ways everyday.
The reason I bring this method up is that I'm finding it a lot easier to grow perpetually. I've got herb still drying from the last run but already have plants on week 5 of flower back in the tent. I just pick them up out of the 3x3 tent and move them to the 4x4 tent. Albeit I know my grow is smaller, but here's a shot of Vader's flower room (similar size to yours).
I was spending between 1-2 hours every other night in the garden when I was doing drain to waste. Lets just say 5 hours per week on average. Now I'm down to 1.5 hours total per week for actual work (res changes), and the rest of my time is spent admiring and chillen.

Glad to see you're using the Recharge as well. I'm assuming you listen to the DGS if you got Recharge in the garden. Seriously some of the best stuff I've ever used. It just makes the plants happy.
Anyways man, this post is long enough so I'll end it. Looking forward to what the future brings.
