CBD Blue Shark mainline

They've been in flower for about 5 days now. I put the new 1000w HPS bulb in and it's definitely too much at 100%. I'm supposed to run it at 100% for 100hrs before dimming it so I have 4 more days to go. I think the plants will be ok. There is a little bit of bleaching which isn't great. I'm going to turn down my bulb to 75% as soon as I can and probably run it like that for the rest of the grow. In retrospect I probably should have gotten a 600 w bulb but I felt weird about running my 1000w ballast at 75% with a 600w bulb or at 50% with a 400w bulb. I know dimming isn't ideal but once my bulb is burned in properly ill have a dimmable 1000w mh and dimmable 1000w hps which should be pretty versatile for a couple more projects. I'm not really having any issues with the heat. I have a window fan pumping cold air into the room and while the new bulb is at 100% I'm running the fan on medium. It's been a steady 9c out lately so it's keeping it pretty cool. I just have to make sure I turn it off when the light goes off, and turn it back on when they come on. Now that they're in 12/12 it's not that hard to keep track of. They are growing very vigorously. I have wires tied to binder clips clipped to the fabric pots for LST and I'm having to move them up every few days because they're growing so much. That's helping to keep colas moving in the right directions and between that and the SCRoG net, they're really starting to fill out the space. Even the secondary bud sites are shooting up and I'm starting to be able to train those into the net too. I have 2 overlapping sections of like 4" squares, and it's kind of a pain. I would prefer smaller squares in the grid for right now. Layering them works but I still have some areas that could be better covered. I'm trying to train the 7g wedding cake to take over the back of the growing space, then the 7g cbd blue shark and the 5g wedding cake are kind of splitting the middle so I'm getting them to expand outward now, and the 5g blue shark is coming up in the right corner where the adjustable intake vent flap and oscillating fan and some dangling cords are. Because one of the cola snapped, it has more than the others. I'm going to let it grow straighter up than the others as it's a bit more cramped. They're finally starting to look a little thirsty. I'll try to feed them tomorrow. This will be the first feeding of the season. I guess I'm going to do half strength of grow nutrients and maybe a quarter strength of bloom nutes. I don't want to overload them since they got burned pretty recently. I took off some dying leaves near the bottom too. One of them had even started pushing out a whole new branch from the bottom and I took that off too. I fed them for the first time. I'm using 3ml/g grow and 5ml/g bloom instead of 8ml bloom and no grow in an effort to transition them gradually. I gave the plants in 7 gallon bags 18+ cups and the 5 gallon bags 15+ cups. I Ph'd the solution to 6. 3 based on my data from the last watering to aim for a runoff pH of 6. There was no runoff on 3 of them but the runoff on the 5g wedding cake was 6.5. The pH reading changed after the first bit of watering was done and I had to add some pH down. They grew a good couple inches overnight after their first feeding. They're putting out pistils and looking really happy. They're still just flexible enough to train. I don't know how I managed without a SCRoG net for so long. I'm going to add another layer soon.
