Thanks TTy,
I have them outside for about 9 hours a day, 8:30 AM till around 6:30 PM, so I have had them under the lights for about 15 hours.
I have thought about turning the lights off for a period during the night, maybe turn them on at 7:00 and off at midnight, then back on at 6: AM till 8:00 AM, then outside when feasible. There will be days that they will need to in the tent all day. That would give me 18/6 give or take a half hour or so.
I like the idea of saving some power cost.
I will be raising the light about 3 inches tonight to get them girls a moving toward the light, I just love how when outside their leaves just reach up to the sun.

Them plants looked chewed, stems girdled about an inch from the soil line!, was not sterile soil so could be any thing in there.

Temps have leveled off, lights on 85 to 86 degrees. The plants have been moved outside during the day, from around 8 AM till after 6 PM. Then they are under the lights the rest of the night. I am hoping that when I move the plants into the room full time that with the lights off and all environmental controls still in operation I will be able to pull temp in the low seventies, I am sure I will. Then when the outside temps begin to fall it should be somewhere in the low 80's with lights on and high 60's with lights off.
This is my intake vent, tied to my eventual rez stand with a fan pushing air down to the corner of the the tent.

I have also turned my fan under the light up to med and that seams to helping my heat issues.

I had the one Blue Cheese and 2 Critical Kush plants that were extra to this grow. Planted them in soil, high in compost, with lots of perlite and growstones and they were doing fine. Keeping them in hopes of finding a home for them, have contacted two folks I know that grow in my area and they had all they can handle for the season. They have been doing fine, have not watered in about six days and the moisture is fine, this morning I went out and the BC and one CK were just clipped off that the soil line. Not sure why, I still have the on CK that I am hoping to find a home for, would grow in the back yard but I have a Hwy Patrol officer living behind me. Nice guy but I am sure he would do his job.

Well here are a couple of pics of the ladies in coco 22 days since sprout. Another 4 to 6 weeks veg then flip.

Well I just can't get over the growth in just 26 hrs, have never seen this in any of my grows. Almost 3 inches in 26 hrs. What ever I am doing right I hope it continues, LOL
I did a water/nutes on Saturday evening, 650 ppm. So far I am getting 4 days between watering, would like to stretch it to 5 days. As you can see I offset the plants in the pots to make it easier to attach to the screen, when the time comes. So I have a little cheapy moisture/light/ph meter that my dude at my hydro shop gave me a couple of weeks ago, I love that guy. The plants seem to be drier in the immediate root zone but the area beyond that shows to me more moist. I am assuming that the roots have to fully grown into that space yet.
Here is a pic taken yesterday at 8:45 AM on 7/17 and a pic taken today 7/18 at 10:45.
I am just totally impressed with coco in a vertical grow.

I'm pretty happy with how my plants are growing in Tupur, also a coco based substrate.

When do you guys think I should begin binding these ladies to screen? I like the sound of that!
I am hoping to go a few more weeks before I begin that. But I really don't know! Also any defoliation needing to take place before you start the binding. I like the sound of that also, get um naked and tie them up. LOL

Well if it is a compost from the Mendocino or Humboldt county area then it is some good shit. When I was managing golf courses in Nor Cal, I used a lot of organics. I would buy tons of that areas redwood forest compost. It made the most wonderful compost teas, and I used the bulk from making the teas in a topdressing mix for my tee boxes. I ran a seven million dollar golf course using over 75% organics, it was great. But now as an ol' retired person, I grow a different kind of grass, :cool:, my own meds, and if I were growing organic I would for sure be getting some Redwood forest compost, it's made all over, don't know if they package it but I bet they do. Fuck Big Pharma and their we can fix you. Yeah right, keep you a prisoner of there system for life. An I will now step off of my soap box and bid you all ado and a wonderful grow.

Quick update,
Can probably water this evening but going to wait till tommorrow morning.
I will no longer be taking the ladies outdoors during the day, found a worm eating on one of the plants, tiny little brown bastard.

Saw some damage on another plant but found no other worms. Couple of issues, Mag deficentcy seems to be corrected in the two Critical Kush's. Confined to the lower leaves and no further def noticed, will probably remove the damaged leaves. The Blue Cheese plants are all just green and healthy, except for that worm damage to BC2.
Overall feeling good about the grow. Here is a pic taken just as the lights were turned back on after inspections.

I posted this in MJ Plant Problems also.

1. Indoor vertical grow, 4x4 GGTL, 400W HPS,

2. Watering Schedule, at present hand watering with nutes added, last feeding Wed. morning , 630 ppm pH 5.87.

3. Medium, Canna coco

4. Stage of growth, about 4 weeks from sprout.

I have two strains in the tent vegging at present, Critical Kush and Blue Cheese. The plants were fine at last check around 9 PM. This morning I was checking the plants and this is what I found on both CK's.
CK2

CK2

CK1

CK1

Plant distance from bare bulb is 8 inches for all plants and has been since they were transplanted, where put into the tent under this light on July 10'th. They were put outside from 9AM to 6PM until the 19th when I found a worm on CK2 and some worm damage on CK1, both minor and the worm became fish food.



This was take yesterday, July 21st @ 12:30PM

I have seen no damage to the Blue Cheese but watching the closely.

Thank you,

GR

Have you checked closer with a scope for any kind of insects?

Yes, but I may be seeing it on one of the BC's, will check soon. I put the plants in a bath with a skylight, took them out of the tent, want to see if there is any regeneration.

Thye are both at the third node on #2 and third and fourth on #!

Not sure of the insect, but it bores in to the new shoot or node and takes the shoot out. Got three plants damaged, Both CK and one BC, CK's are the worst.
GF is picking up some AZAmax. Organic and should work. If any one has other ideas please!.
