Thanks GDB.Looks like you've got some big ones coming Budman!
You'll need to somehow leave room for Spec on purpose. I think she's gonna' be late to the party.

Weekly Temperatures
Late fall has arrived in Virginia. Last Saturday it was 75f and the A/C was on. Yesterday it was 42f and at nights it's getting down in the 20s. We've always kept the house cool in the winter. Upstairs rarely gets the heat turned on, we just use extra blankets. The main floor has the heat set to 64f. That makes the basement the warmest room in the house. Three tents and the dehumidifier add enough heat to keep it in the low 70's, which is where I try to keep the basement year-round. The plants barely even noticed the seasonal change. I've been keeping the humidifier at 60-65% to keep them around 1.0 VPD. I'll be raising the VPD to the 1.2 range this week to encourage more feeding from the roots. I may even be able to get rid of the humidifier soon!
It's been three weeks and I haven't really added any water to the res, until today I added two gallons this morning with a little nutes and plenty of bennies. I'll continue to top off with nutes and bennies as I add water. They all look green and healthy and the roots loook good so I'm going to try to keep the res right around 5.8pH / 500ppm (1.0 EC) for now.
A little over three weeks into this grow and I really haven't put much effort in so far, but that's about to change. For the first three weeks, my biggest chore has been refilling the humidifier in the tent. For as little as I've done in the last few weeks they are looking fantastic. The @VIVOSUN VSF6450 is at 40% 20 hours/day (4am-12pm). I've played around with Photone and I'm very happy with how even the coverage is around the tent. These girls are growing huge fan leaves and branches that look ready to hold some weight. Everyone is progressing nicely, even Speck. She's still smaller than everyone else but she's gaining quickly.
Those big fan leaves along with fairly tight internodal spacing make it hard to see what's going on with them. Cindy looks like a little cabbage with leaves sticking up everywhere. In the past I've rushed this step, removing fans and trying to get the LST started ASAP. For this grow I'm trying to be patient and wait for the plant to be ready. I'm also trying to remove as little as possible for now. I'll wait for the branches to grow into/above the net then tuck them back under.
This net is not ideal (squares too big), so I may need to use some wire to LST inside the squares. I'll leave the leaves alone for now, tucking them if needed. Hopefully Speck makes it up to the net before her sisters fill it up

It's still been cool in the basement. I've bumped the @VIVOSUN VSF6450 from 40% gradually up to 80% today. It's adding more heat to the tent every time I bump it up. I'll adjust the exhaust to control the humidity to keep the VPD right around 1.2 for now (using leaf surface temps -2f).
As far as my plants are concerned I disappeared for the last four days. I had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family, including two big dinners and helping my dad harvest his three plants. I did nothing with my plants ;( Luckily, the RDWC is very forgiving. I checked on them this morning and it appears they've hit overdrive. They were down 7+ gallons, PPMs had dropped to 420, and pH was up slightly. I gave them 6 gallons of nutes with some Hydroguard and pH down, and I'll check them again tomorrow.
When I say they've gone into overdrive I mean it! The growth in the last week is incredible. So far, this is the easiest LST I've had. I've gone down twice since the last post and just pushed everything to the outside of the net. I did accidentally break Cindy at her main stem a couple of days ago, but I wired it together and taped it up right away. I've been more careful since.
Right now, everyone except Speck has filled up their space and is touching two walls. And even Speck's not far away. There's not much space to fill up on the net.
So tonight they flip to 12/12. I figure I have at least a week of transition and they will definitely fill up the net in the next week. Then I'll install another net about 8" away. I'll use the second net to keep the canopy even and well-spaced. Hopefully, the buds will grow just above the send net so they have some support too.
I still haven't taken off any leaves, but that'll come this week. I'll start thinning out the leaves under the first net as the canopy fills in. These ladies are really growing quickly now, I just hope I can keep up with them!

Thanks Daniel, I had a fantastic holiday with family. Speck is finally starting to fill her corner of the net. She self-topped, so if you peek under those huge fan leaves she has a bunch of budsNice budman Tent is filling in very nicely, and spec is in gear now aint she!
