Alright so i finally decided to update. Things have not been goin too hot, but i finally fixed the situation. The room i grow in is pretty cold, but lights on temps are perfect, while nighttime temps crept as low as 60F/15C. So the plants stopped drinking and feeding and growth was pretty stunted. Not a good thing in the first 3 weeks of flower. But i have now fixed things up and installed a small heater, a dehuey and a aquarium heater in my res. The girls perked up in under 12 hours!! Problem is that today is day 28 of flower, and these look like they are around day 18. Im hopin my yields wont suffer too bad, and that these will just need a week longer to finish up decent, than they normally do.
So here we are at day 28:
Heres the HappyBro and Niterider gettin handfed. These have been on a diet of nothing but runoff..

So that canopy was kinda leafy and tight...decided to rape em again to expose all the buds, and go hardmode and remove the glass from the hoods..my lawd what a difference!!
Anyone got a suggestion about PK13/14. Normally i would start adding the PK to the regimen from the start of week 5, but seing as how these are kinda behind, would it be better to hold off on the PK for another week, or just ease it in from tomorrow?

Awesome
Thanks for checkin in F.A.M.
Ill try to snap a few HappyBro shots for ya later Frank..full plant, and leaf closeups.
Things are progressing and the stacking is slowly beginning. Dosed em with a light squirt of PK and im gonna slowly raise the ec to 1.8 during next week. Temps and humidity is also in check now and stable at 25c/77f,45%RH lights on, and 18-20c/65-68f,65%RH at lights off. The girls are loving the warmer feed water as well. Shot a few pics yesterday @ day 32:

All is looking great GDK, how often are you feeding? What are your thoughts on the multi-feeding drip system so far? Your plants look in perfect form, it looks like you have it dialled.
I like to feed 3x per day right up to the end of flower stretch. After they have finished stretching and enter swellage mode I feed them 5x per day. I like to introduce small amounts of PK 13/14 at that stage, I usually feed them at 1.1EC A&B + 0.4EC PK 13/14 PH'd to 6.0-6.2 then I slowly up the PK 13/14 until the last week before flush, by then I'm usually feeding at 1.0EC A&B + 0.6EC PK 13/14, that works great for me. Finding the best A&B + PK 13/14 ratio will really improve your yield, it's all about finding the utmost maximum capacity that your plants can handle before toxicity and lockout begin, there are lots of variables to consider, environment, PH, feeding frequency, pot size, starting water, etc but when you get that dialled you're going to see things really explode. For multi-strain grows things can get a little complicated so it's best to play it safe and to not go over board.
Anyhow, great show and here's to heavy harvests :friends:

Thanks my friend. Im simply loving the automated irrigation. Frees up alot of time, and removes the pain of gettin to the plants in the back. Im feeding x6 pr day. 5x during lights off and once during dark hours. They each get about a pint per feeding, and runoff is about 35%.
You are right about the watering frequency. Its very dynamic and depends on various factors. Im feeling this run really taught me the last important things to make coco work right. About the PK. These plants was stunted, and they are about 10 days behind in development. Thats why i waited a lil bit with the PK and also why im easing it in. But now that i see stacking, it tells me its time to give em that lil extra something. Thanks for checkin in my friend..always a pleasure to have ya.
Looking real good in that room GDK!
Gracias amigo

Its gonna get alot better from here..
Thanks broham...nice of ya to stop by.
Yields and growth rates was what convinced me. Im still learning tho.
Thanks my man!
STRAND!!! Thanks homie..you know you played a part in this also my friend..nice of ya to stop by..
So today is day 40, but keep in mind that these are behind. Im guessing theyll go 70-75 day with diminished yields caused by cold temps in their 3 first weeks of flower. Been feeding @ 1.6, but im sein minute signs of overferting, so ima back it down to 1.3-1.4.
