150w Hps & 156w Cfl Scrog Grow

Day 29.. Well the smaller of the two is holding me up from flowering. The bigger one has its space filled up and is ready to go. I now have her using up some of the smaller ones space. Ill get the same yield hopefully but maybe next time ill use two seperate pots so i can raise the smaller of the two up closer to the screen decreasing my veg time. Either that or germ 3 or 4 in smaller pots and transplant the 2 biggest plants into my 4 gallon scrog setup. Hell i might even try to go 12/12 from seed next time and do 4. Anyways here is the diff in the 2 atm. As you can see the plant on the left is the smaller one and all the shoots coming out of the screen are from the right one(except the main stem of the smaller one of course). So should i flower now and let those smaller shoots catch up during the stretch or just wait it out till they all reach the screen?

1 month.... Not much change today other than the smaller shoots are that much closer to the screen. Gave them a light distilled watering today.

Day 31... Same shit diff day

Day today.. Well shit! The smaller plant has been having issues lately so i had to do something. The smaller plant is weaker (nute wise) and cant handle higher amounts yet. She is not really growing and some of the lower fan leaves are starting to get crispy. It started with some tips on the lowest set and started moving in and up. I havent really gave her much nutes though. I guess ffof has enough for over 4 weeks. Last feeding was 1 1/2 tbsp which is less than recomended for regular feeding (2 to 3tbsp. So i flushed the shit out of her today. The ro ph'd at 5.5 so i flushed till the ro came out to 6.5. In yalls opinion should i try to transplant them into seperate containers with new ffof? This time i would add dolomite lime and perlite. Im not sure if that would cause too much stress or not at this age and im not sure if the roots are tangled together under the soil. They are about 8'' away from each other. Or should i just let the soil dry out and start the nutrients back with a smaller dose? Say 1/2tbsp? I dont really have that much veg time left if i could get the sick one healthy. It needs about maybe 3'' of grow to fill up the screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ill post picks tomorrow if she isnt looking up.

Very nice, but you really should have planted them in their own pots. Could be why one is lagging behind. Having to share soil/nutes.

Ya i should have. Is it too late to transplant them without stressing them out real bad?

Probably not, but at the same time it probably wouldn't be a great idea. Those roots are probably tangled up like a rats nest.

^ +1 It's probably not too late but I'm not sure if I would risk it. Kinda between a rock and a hard place right now.

Day 33.. Well they both seemed to benefit from the flushing. The sick one has greened up and the healthier one grew a noticeable amount over the night. Ill probably just stick with the way things are and grow them sep next time. If this is successful my next grow will be in a closet with a perpetual 400w scrog. Here are some picks from this morning. The first two are the sick plant and the 3rd is the bigger plants growth above the screen. I could almost pull the sick one and let the other one fill all the screen. Wouldnt take long.

Just a comparison. The diff in 4 days on the sick plant under the screen.

A comparison on the growth of the healthy plant from the same days. Pretty noticeable on this one. Not so much on the sick one.

Day 34.. Well we have some new growth on the sick plant amen. Looks like we are back in business. So my question to any prof scroggers out there. Here is the screen today. Most of the shoots of the smaller plant have reached the screen now but dont have the growth (yet) to fill out the empty space in the pictures. Flip now or wait till a little longer? I dont want to overrun the screen.

I've never done a scrog before, but I'd say flip it soon. Heres a good place to ask https://www.rollitup.org/dwc-bubbleponics/429868-dwc-scrog-throwdown-growdown-2011-a-17.html

Day 37.. I decided to turn on the 150w hps 2 days ago to get the smaller plant to the screen a little faster and make sure i didnt get any suprises when i went to flower. It got way too hot and i couldnt figure out why. So after hours of thinking i came up with my exhaust fan isnt strong enough to pump the air all the way up the dryer vent at my apartment so its not getting rid of the air fast enough. I had a 4'' duct booster sitting around so i decided to use that for my intake instead of it being passive. Works perfect now.. I have it pumped in under the canopy and i flipped my big fan upside down so its pointed towards the hps. I went out and got another little fan to blow air over the canopy. Temps went from 17 degrees above ambient to 9 degrees and the humidity dropped from 80 to 62ish and they seem to love it. Needless to say im a happy poppa now Im either starting flowering tomorrow if i can get the funds for FF flowering nutes or monday when i get my check. Im going to do a 24hr dark period before i start 12/12 and im going to buy a uv light from the pet store. Ive seen amazing results with supplemental uv lighting. Im a little confused about starting flowering nutes seeing that i really havent needed any nutes so far because i burned them with a little dose of grow big and had to flush em. Im about to read the flowering process again but if anyone has any tips id appreciate it.

Why is my camera showing lines now?

I think it has something to do with the hps. ive seen it a few times in pictures of flowering rooms.

Thanks bud.. I think thats why.
Day 38... UGH!! So im pretty sure what i thought was nute burn is now a cal/mag def. Really need some help on this guys. Tell me what you think is the prob and what you would do to fix it please please please. Ive already flushed them and have been given them straight ph'd 6.5 distilled water so it cant be nute burn anymore. Obviously i pulled the screen off.. The smaller one looks pathetic.

Day 39.. Looking good today. Got some good advice in the problem forum. Seems they just needed nutrients.. Noob move mistake.

Wo0t! Looking good again!

The lines are just from your HPS, no worries.
