These ladies are drinking more each day. They've gone through 50% of the res (22+ gallons added) so they're due for a change. They still look super healthy so I'm keeping them on the same nutes, MC @ 5g/G with Hydroguard and z7. I have some magnesium nitrate if I need more N and plenty of bloom boosters if needed.
For the LST, I'm still attaching branches to the net and moving the attachments further out. I'm moving as much as possible into the empty spaces and away from the walls and each other. I'm glad I bought more tie wire right before this grow because I've gone through quite a bit, mostly in little 2-3" segments.
As I LST I also clean the plants up. Any suckers, or growth growing down, get pinched off. I also remove a few large fans every time, especially those growing toward the middle of the plant. The leaves grow back and get bushy so quickly, I don't want them getting too bad before the stretch. And I've learned I can't wait until after the stretch or it's too much. Most of all, thoug, I need to remove some of the leaves just so I can see the branches and what's going on. Here's a before and after on the last update I did on Camila (back-left).
She's the hardest one, mostly due to the last of space on that side of the tent. I have to put one leg inside the tent to work.
They're all still in veg for now. I'm seeing a lot of stigma, though, and my hands are getting stickier each day after the LST. The bottom net is almost full, so these ladies can start flowering any time.

nice green solid canopy and a full bill of health 
I had some time Wednesday afternoon so I gave these ladies a new res. It was overdue at 35 days and 26 gallons added. I emptied the system and refilled with a fresh nutrient load (MSA+MC). I must have done something right because new new res is almost identical to the old in pH & PPM. Only now, I know what's in there
