I'll get some new pics of my topped synergy up tonight, it's started the flower stretch and looks great. will be fimming the orange Kush's in the next 3-4 days. Will post pics of them too when I do it.

Thanks man! It's really hard to tell without digging thru the jungle how many might be a little smaller and shaded. I'm not going to mess with them all that much. If a bunch end up being shaded then I will have learned that 16 per sq/ft is too close. lol
Figure about 1 more week until they are around 2 feet tall so it's gunna get exciting!

Chapter 2 Update
Day 45
Flowering Day 2
Continuing my trend of watering every 3 days. I watered and fed right after I took these pictures. Did 50% strength on Week 1 of the flowering schedule. It's a pretty aggressive feed and there is a little risk it could be a little hot but I feel pretty confident that it's going to be the perfect amount. One thing I got lazy on in Chapter 1 was checking the PH as I increased nutes. The more nutes I add, the lower the PH goes so I won't ever make that mistake again. Did 12 gallons of water and am hoping for 4 or 5 gallons of run-off. I'm still learning how to manage tubs of this size.

Day 47
Flowering Day 4
Previous feeding went well. There are a few plants that have very minor signs of nute burn but I'm talking like 3 or 4. It's probably time for a thorough flush and then another aggressive feeding a day or two later. Collectively, they are jamming. There are quite a few that are now beneath the canopy and may get left behind. It's very hard to say exactly how many.

I'm already formulating some new ideas. I'm eagerly watching My. Head's experiment involving topping/fimming TTFS.

I just ran 17 gallons of PH only water through. For you coco growers, can you enlighten me on flushing? In my 1st experiment I only really flushed them a couple of times primarily because the small containers I used held very small amounts of water. I would typically water with 5 gallons and get 3.5 to 4 gallons of run-off which is kind of like flushing on every watering.
With these big containers I'm now using, I've been watering with an average of about 10 gallons every 3 days and I typically get 2 to 3 gallons of run-off.
Knowing that, what would you suggest my regiment be? Also, when you do flush with plain water, how long do you wait to water with nutes again?
Note: I'm not talking about end of the harvest flushing. I'm talking about periodic flushing of the coco to help prevent build-up of salts.

Day 49
Flowering Day 6
Watered with 10 gallons and 50% strength of the Week #1 flowering schedule. With yesterday's aggressive flush, I did not want them being deprived of food for very long. In the future, I think I'll include a small amount of food instead of plain water. The girls are definitely bumping elbows and competing for light.

Man I hope you don't run into any problems because those girls are throwing bows for space...btw....they are looking good. So far what are your ppm 's in flowering?

I haven't tested the PPM's...I'm kind of going on experience from last time. I'll break out my TDS meter next watering and let ya know.

WOW! thats gunna be a handful! haha
Im sure you can handle it though, you seem to be doing very well.
makes this journal even more interesting!

Based on how the 1st experiment went, once they can get thru the stretch, the crowding factor actually becomes diminished. I know that sounds counter intuitive. Contemplating spending an hour studying them tonight and might do some fan leaf pruning.

no i get you, I breed high numbers in small spaces myself.
i let them start to yellow a bit unless its going to be a uniform lateral pruning because itll skew your data if you snip some and leave others, wouldnt you agree?

It certainly might. Not really sure what impact removing a couple of fans from the biggest ones would have.

thats the million dollar RIU question, how many threads have you seen on defoliation? I hear at least 5 differeing views everytime I stupidly go into one of those haha I just dont like to give anyone an unfair advantage or cripple someone for being "too good"

Lol...yes, I have seen several and I participated in one shortly after joining and had to bail due to the negativity and bad vibes.
