Got the leds mounted in there. Dealing with temp issues due to house heater being down, space heater being too hot, lights being too hot, lights-off temp being too cold. I'll figure it out...
02-25 before pruning. All C99s moved to the left (FL is the male), all DF moved to the R, and the 2nd from right row is SDG, C99, and squatty DF in front. You can see the strong differentiation between them now and this grow will definitely be less than ideal for everyone involved, could get a bit ugly! Once cloned and monocropped in there it should be a lot better.
Top of fixture
LED on only. The solderless diodes were really convenient but they do seem to block out some side light dispersion...
Both lights on - will swap out all the 6500ks to 3000k here in a bit.
I've cut out a decent bit of the undergrowth and did a little bit of defol. Cloned all C99 via side branches and topped two of the Diesel Fires (not seen in pics). Supercropped one and will probably control height on all of them this way post flip.
Still having some issues trying to nail down coco and ph/nutes/etc. I'm not sure just using plain maxi in coco was the ideal way but they are still alive. Some of the individuals are showing strong cal mag def so I think I am going to bump that up a bit more.
Also found some possible early insect damage on a couple so they got a little bit of azatrol before I swap to 12/12. I keep swinging them in and out of looking pretty good then looking haggard but the torture test is also separating the finicky girls from the strong.

Hey yall little update... Day 13 of flowering I believe.
Group shot
Male DF keeper
Female DF outstretching everyone
C99 closeup
They've definitely gone through some trials here but I've got things mostly stabilized now. Will move the males out in a little bit. Been supercropping the DF like mad but I'm gonna have to start bending branches soon to keep her relatively in line with the rest of them. C99s have separated themselves into two camps; one that seems to like this coco/lucas/whatever regimen I'm doing and another that hates it, never looks happy, stayed runty, etc. I'll flower them out but I don't see them sticking around.

Thanks for stopping by yall.
Been away from the tent for stretches here and there and turns out I am paying the price now. I have chronicled my issues with maintaining temperature in this place and it still continues. Went from being too hot to too cold, and now back to too hot which I am thinking caused the latest round of problems.
I went away for a long weekend so I upped the amount of feed in the trays and I think a combination of having fewer plants (less uptake), higher temps, and the res sticking around longer finally broke the back and hit some of the plants with root rot or some bacterial issue. I came back to find the diesel fires' fan leaves yellowing and falling off at an alarming rate. The problem is also affecting the C99s and the SDG at a lesser rate. I started adding drip clean and haven't been doing the weekly flushes too which didn't work out.
In any case, this is a trial run with this new system so getting these kinks out now was the whole point of this but it is disappointing nonetheless that my carelessness is causing them to slow down. I'm going to try some fixes and hopefully I can keep the diesel fires alive long enough for them to finish. I have dusted some lower banches on a few plants with C99/DF pollen from the males and they are swelling up. Anyway, less rambling and more pics.
~Day 30
Whole tent shot. So much yellowing, way too early.
Tallest DF, recovered nicely from the basketweave LST, then got hit with this.
Other DF, probably my keeper. Luckily I cloned everything. Smells like pure lemon on the stems and buds like lemon creme. Really really tasty.
Crappy closeup of the first DF showing trich development thus far. I like the LED+leaving a blue pll in there during flower.
Back in a bit with an obituary or a harvest report

they still look good to me. I would love to have plants that nice.

Thanks cheese. The diesel fire still has over a month to go however so I hope I can reverse this dieback and get them to the finish line. I think the C99s will get there with little issue.

Very nice looking plants. The structure of your buds in your first run look a lot like mine under my pl-l lights
And make sure to keep on of the pineapple smelling C99's around for another run if you can, the smell and flavour are very uplifting.

Thanks for stopping by Ninja. What was your setup like with the pl-ls?
I kept two mother c99s - the first plant that really smelled like pineapples rather than fruit/candy/punch and another which is the most vigorous and productive (in the c99 bud pic above).
Also dusted both with more c99 male pollen and diesel fire pollen on the vigorous one for seeds to keep around. The shorter diesel fire and the sweet deep grapefruit both were also dusted with c99 pollen for random variety.
Male DF isolation chamber
I will try to get a pic of the individual C99s when they are being harvested. The DF girls pretty much take up the whole front view every pic other than the one c99 wedged in the front although that one did represent the most commonly seen pheno in my pack.

The set-up I have going at the moment is 110w of pl-l/cabinet. I have 4 cabinets all with rough dimensions of 26"w x 11"d x 26"h (off the top of my head).
27k for flower and 65k for veg. Running GH micro/bloom (KISS) throughout in 9l DWC tubs. Getting around 1oz/bulb at the moment. Plants are SCRoGed
Getting that really nice, tight buds that you are producing. Really like how frosty plants get under these lights.
Even with you plants taking a little hit they should still give you a nice end product if your pictures are anything to go by!

Thx for the support root!
A small update since I did some rearranging in there. Got all the C99s moved to one side so I can start their flushing without hindering the DF. Also moved a couple of new clones that don't fit in my other box to start up their process as well.
Whole Tent:
C99s. Mostly uniform with a couple of outliers:
DF lower nug really starting to frost up:
Closeup/Phone macro

Looking to cut down the C99s around the end of the month.

Yea I think they like the new lights!
Day 50.
Diesel Fire recovered pretty nicely.
One of the potential C99 keepers.
Closeup. (phone macro "lens" has a very small area that will focus)
Seeds and trichs.
A couple of them look like they could be ready by 52 so I will take a look then but the C99s will get the chop here and there throughout this week.

All the C99s are down, day 54~55.
Sorry, was too hung over to get good individual pics! Nothing especially crazy to note, what more is there to add over rhaco's grail search in the mosca forum?
Variety of smells from pineapple to fruit punch. Half of them really started to turn red/purples while half stayed more green. The tiny runt ended up blasting out a heavy top cola but I didn't keep that clone of course - would have been the perfect dr.bud style c99. Left the bottom pollinated branches to finish maturing their seed.
Apologies for the quality of the pics here, again not feeling bright eyes right now.
Best C99 pre-chop

Drip clean for size
Hanging in the dry box
Back later with the C99 reports and DF/SDG chops!
