Your plants look good for where they are at in flowering. One question because I can't tell from the pics, but are your walls painted a flat white? You want a flat white surface or even better, line the walls with some Mylar.

hi mike they are looking great for 10 days flower, rhinos really start packing the weight on at about 3 weeks into flower, and almost double in size the last 2 weeks, also i would recomend pk 13/14 at 5 weeks flower, just add this to your normal feed for 10 days, if you go feed water feed water, with the pk 13/14 i do feed(with pk added) water( just add the pk) feed (pk added) then feed (pk added) i do 3 and a half ml for 2 litres, also if you havent already got some canes and garden wire ready to support the buds then i would buy some now, cause your going to need them, good luck

hi rob just read your post after being away for the weekend now the only problem i have is as im using the autopot system they are getting constant nutes 24/7 from a 100litre water butt plus after being away fro 2 days i come back and i can hardly get into my grow room let alone to the plant at the back im kinda hoping that the walls will support the buds as they get bigger will that be advisable or not

not sure about the wall idea i know most of my buds point towards the light, you could just use string or garden wire thats tied from the roof of your room and around the branches that need the support, all i no that with my rhinos if i didnt tie them up most of the branches would be bent onto the floor, if your rhinos are like mine then im not talking alittle bit of a bend, they really do touch the floor, ive never had a branch snap though.

ok i will have to try and tie them from the roof as for the pk is it ok to add it to the water butt that has my nutes in so that they get it all the time or will that be too much

well the canna pk 13/14 that ive got is for any growing type, it says on the back of bottle something like add 15 ml for every 10 litres in resovour, apply for a week to 10 days, when theres 3 weeks left of flower! so it should be fine for what your doing, i normally start at around 4 weeks of flower and do it for 2 weeks to make sure i catch the right time, obviously once you've fed them for the 10 days you will have to change your res, having said that there's lots of people feed the pk from week 5 till end of harvest,
heres some info i found

What does Canna PK13-14 do?

Canna PK13/14 is a high percentage phosphorous and potassium bloom stimulator. Both elements play a big part during the flowering stage of fast growing plants and in turn enable much higher than normal yields. Due to their expertise in nutrient manufacture, Canna has succeeded in combining pure phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) in very high concentrations making Pk13/14 quickly and directly available to the plant.

Canna PK13/14 can be used in conjunction with all growing media (i.e. Canna Coco, Canna Professional soil, Hydroton clay pebbles etc.), all growing methods (i.e. NFT, Ebb and Flow, Pot culture etc.) and all nutrient regimens. PK13/14 is also suitable for outdoor cultivation.

How do I use PK13-14?

Canna Pk13/14 is an additive not a plant food so should be used as part of Canna's comprehensive nutrient and additive range. PK13/14 should be added to the nutrient solution during the flowering phase for one week, three weeks before harvest. This is when the plants have their greatest need for high phosphorous and potassium uptake.

PK13-14 Dose:

PK13/14 is added to your nutrient solution at a rate of 15ml/10litres, (1.5ml/litre). It should be noted that Canna PK13/14 will add to your overall EC/CF level, so should be added to your nutrient mix before you add your primary flowering food. In effect for the week you PK boost you should add a little less primary flowering food.

just read about the dosage and im looking at the bit where it says to use less primary flowering food now because of the system im using thats gonna be a problem will it make that much difference if they still get the same amount of bloom nutes as well as they pk (you can tell this is my first grow lol)
