So with my SCROG tent (3x2), I've started using a "groundwater/groundwater/make it rain" cycle and it seems to be paying off. I was a little worried when I defoliated this girl, I thought I took too much off.

After a heavy watering, usually a couple days, I bottom feed a fairly wet pot, a half gallon and let the plant wick it up. Usually about two nights later it gets another half gallon, then a couple nights later after approaching dry, I give it a top soak to runoff. I suck up the first two runoff tray-fuls, then I add anymore leftover in the bucket to the catch tray. It sucks this all up, over the next 24 hrs or so, and then a few days later, I start the bottom feeding again.
I feed every watering, top or bottom.
This is keeping the top soil more on the dry side (which LSD seems to prefer) for longer periods of time. It only gets real wet around the core root system once a week or so. This LSD I cloned seems to be finicky with moisture, especially early on, but even in flower when you would think it should be able to take it, it can stunt on you fairly easily. This method seems to be keeping the plant happy.
I can barely stick a moisture probe in the soil anymore, the root system is so dense.
The Triple Cheese is fluffing up nicely. Not as dense a flower as the LSD or FlowerBomb Kush, but still fairly girthy for this early on.

I've got a 480W 4000K kit coming from Kingbrite. It's going to go in this spare tent (below), which can be rigged for strictly pre-vegging for my big tents, or for drying.
The 600W over these girls is going to go get swapped out for the 480W, and go back into the 6'x6' and I'll be running 3x600 in there, over 16 plants.
The four smaller plants are a week behind the others, hopefully they catch up soon, I want to start topping.

This should be my final project expansion though. I'm practically out of circuits in this house, I have to schedule my damm vacuum times so that they don't conflict with the grow rooms/tents FFS lmao!
I managed to score a 1 gallon jug of HydroGuard for $130 CDN or so with shipping on Amazon. It was only $85 CDN or so before shipping. Pretty good deal considering the price of 1 litre is damn near the same right now. It should be here soon, along with the Kingbrite light.
Still nothing with The Vault seed order I placed. Hopefully they get here soon ;
On order:
Purple Punch
Pink Kush
Lemon OG Kush
Kannabia Colombian Jack
Critical Orange Punch
Peyote Critical
