Week 7- Day 1 of Veg (Day 59 overall)
Water Change Day!!!
Water was really low it was just above the hump in the Res cutting it close to not having enough water in the system to keep it going. They drank a lot making it close going the full 14 days. I am still going with the previous grows and adding 36 Gallons but even looking at the root I think the SILICA is working and the roots are further along at this point than in previous grows. This next two weeks will watch how much they drink and how low my Res starts getting, and will make a decision on changing the water weekly from here on out or still keep on the plan of every other week until Week 4 of Flower.
Added 36 Gallons

Week 7- Day 2 of Veg (Day 60 overall)
Not much today, PH was at 5.81, I brought that back up to 5.90. I took care of some badly needed defoliation in each of the back sides .. I was able to see some really good clone material to use on the lower backside of each of the plants. I will be taking two clones from each to breed over the next few weeks depending on when I am going to flip them.

Week 7- Day 3 of Veg (Day 61 overall)
A little FIMing, A little Topping, and a Little bit of defoliation.
Might have to take my clones during the week this week, I am trying to wait until Saturday to hit week 8 but again they are getting all over the place and I need to trim some of the sides and lower areas.

Week 7- Day 4 of Veg (Day 62 overall)
I decided to take my clones and clean up the lower half of the plants. I took 2 clones from each plant to go into the cloning machine.

Week 7- Day 5 of Veg (Day 63 overall)
Water Temp is sitting at 73. Right in my ideal range for my setup.
Ideal range 70-74
My Temp Tent is my ideal zone75.6
Ideal for this grow 70-78
The lights are still waiting the switch to flower to get maxed out...
The Humidity is coming in right at 60% I love it..
I took so much off yesterday I figure it was a good day to let them rest.

Week 7- Day 6 of Veg (Day 64 overall)
I needed to Defoliate some and I topped a little. The plants might force me to flip them soon. Next Wed is the 10 week mark half way through the 20 weeks. The net is Bingo... Which means that If/when the plants hit the net I will have to flip them. The Net is set to the max height that I can let them get based on the Breeders Stretch report 75%.

Week 7- Day 7 of Veg (Day 65 overall)
#3 is 22 inches Tall, #2 is 19 Inches Tall.
Net is set at 24 inches. Net is also set as my Bingo point, if they hit the net then I have to flip no matter what to account for the Breeders recommended 75% Stretch allowance. I think I am going to have to flip right at the 10 week mark of the Competition which is Wed 12 Apr.
I topped a little, I de-foliated a lot to start getting it ready for the anticipated Flip.
@RDWCGrowing, They should recover. Cutting the roots slows it down a bit and it uptakes less nutrients while it recovers, but it will take off once it gets established. Make sure you get all the old roots out, that will leave something for the pythium and bad bacteria to eat. Some staining on the roots are fine, your water and nutrients can stain.. they don't have to be bright white, yellow/tanish is ok too.
@Oozle, I have my fingers crossed that I am back on track.. only then next few days will tell.. #3 is not looking well to me.. it looks like half shock if that makes sense.. I think I over reacted when I cut out the Rot on the roots.. I just hope I didn't kill it before I even gave it a chance with the fix items... I thank you for looking over my diary and taking the time to make suggestions to help me.
