Update: Day 26 of 12/12
All is well, except I split the WW, at the main split of the manifold. Taped it up, was a tuff task. We will see what happens of the next week. It is amazing that the amount of H2O/nutes the different plants uptake. The WW drinks the least, and C3 the most. I have been draining what remains in the reservoir before I fill with fresh H20/nutes. Watering at least daily.

Looking at another 3 weeks, give or take a few days.

Hi fellow growers..
First of all i would like to thank nuggbuckets for sharing the knowledge
This is my first ever grow and my first main lining attempt so i taught i would share it with you lot..
Three girls are four weeks from seed and little ones are a week old..
Also made some canopy rings so i can properly train the girls and they fit nicely in autopots and trays..
All has been good so far and the plants respond well to training, they recover in three to five days from each topping..
All criticism and suggestions are welcome

Removed some of the lower growth today to concentrate all the energy to eight new colas..

Two of the girls got a final haircut today..
They started showing preflowers two days ago and both should be girls, so after a week of recovery they go to flower room..

Made a new canopy ring just now..
The square one had to big footprint and wasn't high enough..

Thanks for the kind words guys
Did it yesterday after they adjusted a bit to the new ring.. Also supercroped two colas that were faster in growth so the others can catch up..
She will be perfect when she grows up

Day 35 of 12/12!
Did a flush yesterday and today. Did the one Sunday because when I fed on Saturday I checked the rinsate and the pH was 4.3 and the ppm was 1800. I know that coco hold nutes but I never expected this. Was to late in the evening to flush Saturday so I flushed yesterday with rain water @ 5.7 pH. I flushed two times and the rinsate was 400 pph and a ph of 5.4. When I say flush, I taped over the upper drain hole on my Hempy buckets and filled the bucket with the pH'ed water, left it sit for about 5 minutes then pulled the stopper from the bottom drain and let it drain for about 30 minutes then repeated the process.
Well last night I was talking to a grower buddy of mine and told him what was going on and he said that what nutes are not taken up by the plant will settle to the rez and build up salts. I knew this from my days in the golf biz, would see fert settle out in my fertigation holding tanks. I would have to recirculate the tanks before putting out any product. So he suggested that I do this flush more often when using the Coco/Perlite Hempys. He also said that I should raise my pH to around 6 to 6.4 as the coco tends to be lower in pH to begin with. I researched it after our talk and he was right. I though I should of been keeping it around 5.6 which is what I ran with my Perlite/Vermiculite grow.
So this morning I drained the buckets and flushed them twice with pH'ed rain water @ 6.2, letting them drain for about an hours after the last flush. I then watered/fed them with my Lucas formula @ a pH of 6.2. I am now wondering if I am using the correct formula for my nutes, but not to worry now, not going to change so short of harvest.
Thinking 10 days to two weeks for the White Widow and two to three weeks on the CC/BBGA.
As you can see I have a few popcorn buds that I missed at the 20 day of flower pruning. Do not want to remove them now, only thing I am removing are the yellowing fan leaves and for fans that are blocking bud development.

C5, this is the more indica of the two CC/BBGA, shorter, tighter nodes.

C3, the more sativa of the two CC/BBGA taller, wide node spacing

Keeping one top from becoming dominant is work! Every day a new cola would explode with growth and I would bend and move it until it was under control. Then another and so on. I finally gave up!
I think this was the last time I had it even:
Then it just went wild!
Cheers,
Mo

Already seen your Mulanje grow mate, those plants look out of this world..
I'll see how my girls are progressing when I get back home but last batch didn't change dominance once it finished the strech..
Thanks Mo, jour plants are an inspiration
