day 7 of 12/12 and certainly coming on now, the only one that's starting to show pistils in force and getting too sturdy to pull back thru is the white widow but she's almost filled her holes so that's fine, I think the rest can be manipulated to cover remaining screen or a lot of it anyway.

thank you mate, apart from pic 4 they seem quite happy, not concerned about pic 4 plant as it showed the same characteristics all through the last grow, must have got mixed up in the clone zone somehowLooking nice man, very happy looking, goood and green with that nice shine to the leaves

Looking great Dr.W. They should fill in quite nice with the rest of the stretch. Looking to be a very nice and full canopy mate!

room 2 is finally up and running. the girls have been repotted, fed some No Shock (2ml per Litre) and are now under the 600w, still on an 18/6 schedule, plan on flipping them maybe a week Monday after they've gotten over the repotting and used to their new home and vegged for a few extra days. They've been under the T-5 (potted) for the last 2 weeks so total veg period by then will be about 4 weeks from showing roots. I don't want trees and i'm trying to find the ideal veg time for these girls, tried 3 weeks (shoulda gone a bit longer), tried 7 weeks (too long with this many plants, a 4x4ft tent and only 1 x 600w) so gonna give 4 weeks a go this time and should have 3ft bundles of bud (about 2oz a plant) at the end of it... SHOULD being the KEY word there.... hee hee..... Here we go again... will post the relevant pics when I take em, but for now, here's room 1's inhabitants coming to the end of week 2 bloom and about ready to 'let em go' without it seems, quite filling the screen as I had hoped.. will I, wont I,?? fk me, 3 or 4 days away and im still not quite sure hee hee..... as I said to me m8 about them.... they'll be what they will be!!!!! 
they've had a little haircut underneath and will have another when and where they need it... if it don't look like it gonna make it... it's getting chopped.

coming to the end of training and of the 120 holes that were there to be filled, I cant see any more than a dozen being empty, they are showing signs of flowering but are still flexible enough to pull back through, I just don't know if I should or not, will it hinder the budsites??

Looks great Dr.W. I train mine right thru the first week and stop somewhere around 7-10 days or so and let them grow up from there. You can still use some LST here with some string and duct tape to keep the overall canopy even by pulling down those overanxious tops. Keep her going mate.

thanks mate, they are on day 15 now so time to just let em go for sure. there are a few on the outside reaching up a lil further than others so I'll get them under control over next week or so. Is it normal for the outside to be more advanced than the inside shoots? they got like 2-3 inches on the rest.. lol

My guess would be due to light intensity. The inner plants are directly under the most intense part of your light. I've got my garden setup to account for this happening. I put my younger clones in the middle directly under the strongest light to give them a blast and try to keep them as compact as possible during their first 2-3 weeks in 12/12. Then around week 3 they get moved towards the edges more, and new clones go in the middle again. They all mature nicely along the edges, and still get good light since the inner plants are lower down.

Along with these Belladonna's i'm running and the 6 White Widow clones I took, these are the future generation of beans ------- 5 Sannie's Herijuana, 2 Sannies Jackberry x Mad Scientist, 5 Barney's Farm Pineapple Chunk, 3 Seedsman Seeds White Widow (freebies), 2 Greenhouse Seeds White Lemon (Strain Hunters) also freebie, Greenhouse Seeds Black and White coloured seeds collection (3 White Rhino and 2 White Widow), 1 Black Skull Seeds Auto Pineapplegum and 5 Sleestack x Skunk #1 again, freebies. I'm interested to see how the 2 different breeders White Widow compare seeing as Greenhouse Seeds bred it/invented it. Also first time using the coloured seeds for me, not that I think it makes any difference. 
(the white lemon are in the green thing and the 5 sleestack x's are at base of globe on seedsman bag (hard to see) lol

I hear ya man but kinda hard with a scrog innit? especially a 6 plant fucker pmsl. I will see how the other 8 come on, not scrogged and still small so easily moveable, hell, im at least a week away from flipping them, looking at getting them all to at least 12" or a week or 2 under the hps, they've had their transplant stress recovery time, so new growth should really kick in now. this is my 3rd go at getting the vegging time right with these girls in my conditions, took em too long last time and not long enough the time before, 3 and 7 weeks, 3 was nearly there so giving 5 a go this time lol. first 3 weeks are always under a t-5 propagation light.

Oh I wasn't saying you should move yours. I was just talking about them growing taller around the edges.

You are correct from my understanding of soilless you are pretty much running hydro if you are using chemical fertilizers, and as far as judging hydro based on the strain the chronic goes that would be a poor decision, the chronic from serious seeds is a commercial strain with a thc content in the teens so if your used to smoking 27%s it prolly wont do a whole lot for you.
As far as the training goes man i would continue to do it as long as you can and as long as its effective, its really all again about keeping the canopy as even as possible and nothing else, also your light seems a bit far away, is it air cooled, or do you just need that much distance to get adequate coverage?
Bad ass looking bud man, i would of course rep you if i could but i cant...

the light above the scrog is @ 14" (give or take as they'll grow an inch before I raise the light again) but it will be set @ 12" from week 5 on or when they start stacking n packing. the light in the 8 plant tent is @ 16" for first few days, then i'll drop it to 14" and continue as with the other grow. they're not light cool but I do have an oscillating fan constantly blowing between the canopy and the lamp so maybe I could get it down an inch or 2, i'm just para bout burning em... I've done it a few times now in all stages of growth too, even week 7 flower. I cant get to them all the time, perhaps 3 times a week so have to be careful with light positioning, especially at this stage (stretch). the scrog is accessible pretty much all the time though and is checked daily. what height do you rec the light be at, 600w hps not aircooled.

2 of my clones are either rooting almost outside the rw cube or there summin else going on, is it knuckling it's called? anyway, is this good, bad or catastrophic??
