Gorilla Glue NZ Hydro

Long time grower 1st time journaler. I was given a cutting that Ive mothered a few months ago, gorilla glue apparently. Its hard to say here in New Zealand whether the strain you have is actually what you think it is. But Ive cloned her a couple times & had a couple harvests off of her & she has similarities to what I read of GG from the internet so Im guna carry on calling it Gorilla Glue.
Anyways Ive got 16 cuttings that were rooted in a platinum clone dome it took a little under a week for first sign of roots. I left them in the dome 8 or 9 days before I transferred them into a 16 x 27 litre nutrifield pro pot system top fed recirculating over hydroton in a 3 by 3 (meters thats is. Metric system here in NZ) tent, with 6 600 watt HPS with medium avenger adjustawing shades. The system feeds every 15 minutes for 15 minutes on canna aqua nutes pumped from a 200 litre tank.
That lasted the night then a return pipe blocked up & the entire 200 litres got pumped out, soaked through the tent & started soaking through my particle board floor. So the system & the tent got stripped down the plants went to pretty much darkness in my garage to be hand watered only every so often for 6 days while I dried out my room. Thankfully they survived the ordeal. A week ago now I returned them to my room which is now lined in mylar as Ive decided to do away with the tent for summer, its just too hot running a room inside a room.
So Im a week into (re)veg, Im having a go at "mainlining" the girls this time round to try maximise the space I have. Ive tipped them all twice now I'll clip them once more in a couple of days then a few days after that I'll switch them over to 12/12. The start of this week I have EC at 1.2 & PH kept between 5.7 & 6.3.

So its been 1 week 2days since my last/first update. Not alot to report. Ive finished topping but still lst-ing for a couple weeks yet. I have switched to 12/12 cycle but will maintain aqua vega (veg phase) nute regime for 5 more days before I switch to aqua flores + additivesDED42B4B-3CC3-4285-9369-D4F1DC6B3474.jpeg6EB8B7D3-764E-4082-AC4E-F2DFECA360F8.jpeg471F6262-50FD-4D25-88F2-EF5642997067.jpeg1A26DF96-B742-48EE-B647-F0332B48B427.jpeg

A quick update after a round of low stress training. My mother plant was no spring chicken & it shows in some of the nodes lack of symmetry which can make it difficult to form an even manifold. Im not too worried as perfect as I like things, Im certainly no perfectionist.E6BC97BC-54E0-4727-ADCF-224BA8C77FE1.jpeg341AE422-23EC-40C4-A376-EACE3FE85CF9.jpegB9BA8C48-D26F-4BAD-914F-305AFF0B16EE.jpeg972AD046-DE4E-438A-88FE-AFDAF76F2A6C.jpeg8C364E1D-DA37-492A-B3D0-50E8043418AA.jpeg50356181-BF96-464E-9BC3-8FA849E84180.jpeg

4 days into 12/12. Another 3 days & I'll swap out the res for flowering nutrients.

I got around 8 pound last time round. If i veg any longer they get too tall & unmanageable, & the bottom half of the plants wont get enough light. So the cycle would take longer to grow top balf of the plant ok & the bottom half not so ok. Or grow a smaller plant that fills the canopy with quality heavy bud
My manifolding turned out a little weird, but none the less multiple main cola sites. There about 6-8inches from the soil, you think it’s a good time to switch the light?

And you said 8lbs, about how much per plant?

@Darkoh69 what kind of yield are you expecting per plant turning to 12/12 so soon.

Check out my journal, I was waiting to veg a bit longer before switching. Any advice or guidance on that is appreciated!
& Im hydroponic real fast vigorous growth. Id veg a little longer if I was in soil or soilless drain to waste but only an extra week or 2. & I honestly wouldn't know how long to veg for if I was growing from seed. I only use seeds for outdoor grows & they take a whole season

YYeah I dont know alot about growing under led lights. I imagine they would take a little longer than HPS lights. But if those plants were under my lights in my setup I would definitely be switching them over to 12/12. But I dont think our setups compare, different lights, different medium & probably a difference between seed & clone. Your plants look real good though!

Alright cool, appreciate the insight! I was going to let them stretch a bit more before switching over. All the time and effort put in, I want a decent yield where I’ve have shitty yields in the past. Again, thanks man! Will be following your journal as well!

Looks awesome man! How long into flower will you LST?
Cheers. I'll keep tying them down (lst) right up until the point where I'll have to start tying them up when they cant support their own weight.
Unfortunately I had to take a trip for a week or so right at the 'stretch' stage when its quite important to get them trained out to form an ideal canopy. My babysitter wasnt really paid to think you could say.
