Update: Day 29 12/12
Just drinking a lot, and getting fatter.
Stretch main cola's, start 10 inches, at day 22 the tallest is 36"a couple at that height, the shortest is 24". More taller ones than shorter ones, but happy with the stretch. My lights are 17" from the tops, may raise them a couple of inches, but they seem fine as they are.
Group shot and a few individual cola.

So today I measured the amount of runoff.
Input for last nights 4 cycles was 4.7 gallon and I got 1.5 gallons runoff. That's 0.33% runoff
Times at present are, in seconds, 75, 50, 50, and last cycle is 105. I am very pleased with that.
When my rez is about empty, about the last 1.5 to 2 gallons, I add Great White and run all the solution to empty. Roots are extremely strong and healthy looking as the grow out from the Smart Pots, love it when they do that, one happy camper!
It's been 8 days since day 21's trimming and you can barely tell I did a big trim. Going to only remove or tuck any fans that may cover bud sites.

Two of the 24, wish they all looked like these two. There are a number of them as you can see in the third pic.
Taken today, day 32 of flower.

Update: Day 35
Well they have totally recovered from the day 21 pruning, growing well and beginning to fatten up.
I took P/K 13/14 out of the mix and increased the A&b just a tad. This will be my mix for the next couple of weeks then will do a week of KoolBloom Dry formula for 4 to 8 days.
With this rez dump/mini flush, I added one gallon of RO to the rez to bring it to 5 gallons @ 591 ppm. I added Great White and began doing the mini I noticed that the emitters weren't putting out as they should so I shut the system down and removed the filter from the tops of the 8 port manifolds and cleaned them. They were fairly plugged up, I believe its the Great White which does not go completely into suspension. Reinstalled and finished running the remaining solution. Cleaned the filters again.
I believe I will go back to my old plan of doing the mini flush when the rez low but removing three or so gallons, mix the Great White in that and after finishing the mini flush, then hand water the remaining solution with the Great White in the pots.
Anyway, they are doing ok, so here are a few pics
This is the work sheet from today's rez change. Just increased the A&B a bit and stopped the P/K 13/14.
They are finely putting on some trichs, mainly on the sugar leaves.
I am happy!

Unsure if it is heat or pH that are causing the leaf tips to brown and turn up.
Calibrated my pin and it was 1.4 off, so pH could be the issue but have had some heat, in the mid 80's with low humidity in the tent with lights on. Have begun using the AC for temp control, now back down below 80 and humidity it up slightly.
They are drinking well, input 5.75 minutes for all 4 cycles, making it 6.9 gallons and my total runoff is 2.5 gallons or 35 % plus. So they are drinking 4 plus gallons a day.
Running A&B is low I know that is not the problem and not used any PK 13/14 in the last two rez fills.
Something I don't do often but did just to see, my runoff pH is around 6.25 to 6.30, input is 5.8 +/-. The ppm is 65 to 700. Will be doing a full flush this evening at around 550 ppm and 5.6 to 5.7 pH. This will be a multiple gallon flush, want to get runoff to around 600 and pH below 5.8 then refill the rez with 600 ppm and 5.8 pH.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Damn, somehow I've been missing your updates - Looking very nice in here
Will be curious how you yield vs same lighting vertically

Started them in FFOF in solo cups , was supposed to transplant this morning but got busy and never got around to it. so first thing in the AM they will move to 3g pots with coco.

I have never done it, soil to coco, but I would be watchful for root problems.
In the future you should start them, either seed or clones in coco to go into coco.
Good luck.

Oh i will for sure. The reason it happened this way was my shop is having a tough time getting any soil products at the moment, so my options were limited, coco or grow them out in solo cups
Apparently guys are breaking apart root ball before transplant, some are even rinsing the roots.
Not sure what im gonna do to be honest.

Would not try spraying them to remove the soil, maybe dunk them and get as much soil as you can off. If you have chunks of soil that stay on I would just plant them that way. Coco is fairly forgiving. Be sure you charge your coco.
Again, never done it that was in coco.
My very first indoor, I got some very good clones of different strains and they were in soil. I wanted to try DWC so I washed the soil off, did not get it all. Not only did I not have cool enough water but the soil added to big problems, lost all but one clone. Ended up putting it back in soil and it did ok. Got 3 zips of Querkle. Sad to have wasted such good clones.

Other option is moving them to 2g pots with soil and flipping them, obviously yield will suffer but i wouldnt have to worry about the soil to coco issues...Then when i start next run , i can start as normal, straight in coco
i got enough soil to move all 5 into 2gs, or i can move the 2 bigger plants into 5s or 7gs and put the other 3 in coco.

I think your right, seems that would be the road with least amount of possible issues.
let them finish in soil, ill flip them next week, they wont grow huge, but 5x 2g should still be able to yield a few ozs atleast
Then i can start over in the new setup with coco as originally planned.
Thanks for talking me through that gr lol
