    Coming on a treat.
    Its great to come back and see the difference isnt it?

    Nice bit of topping.
    The side branching is looking good too,looks like the main stem.

    You need to peg those 2 side branches down like you have the main stem,so you have 4 equally pegged down stems.
    Then when enough growth is available,top those 4 stems.
    Youll then have 8 tops,which is more than enough me thinks for this scrog.

    Anything below those four stems will be removed at a later date.

    Seeing as you have them pinned down nice and low,theres no reason to have the screen too high.

    Lets see how they look once you have the 8 tops.

    Cant wait to see them fly once the systems on
    Ec around 0.8 plus any background for now just to be on the safe side

    Yeah it really is, I was thinking about them all the way home lol.

    Ok I'll get them sides pegged now and I'll get the autopot reservoir filled up too.

    By EC 0.8 plus background you mean 0.8 plus my 0.2 water yeah? So around 1.0? M

    And how much new growth am I looking for before I top the heads again?

    Thanks Beth, can't wait to start scrogging now hopefully we aren't too far away from flip

    Lol @ thinking about them on the way home.
    Totally get ya there.

    I will never remember your background ec of 0.2 as my memory is pants,so yes thats what I mean when I say feed+ background ec.
    So 0.8 + 0.2 = 1.0ec
    I will assume when you tell me your ec you will be including the background ec.
    I hope that makes sense lol.

    Thats very soft water so cal/mag will be needed at some point being as your growing in coco.

    You just need enough new growth so you can comfortably top probably in the next day or two.

    Have you thought about supercropping? (breaking stems).Its something I always do.

    If you dont plan to supercrop then the screen can go up as soon as youve done this next topping.

    The micro nutrient part of this 3 part feed actually had different bottles for hard or soft water, hydro guy gave me the one for soft water and told me it will be a complete feed.

    So I'm assuming soft water micro part has calmag in? I'm hoping anyway... If not I have a bottle of old timers calmag but it's organic

    Yeah I would like to supercrop I did it on my last grow and it seemed to work, if you could let me know when that would be great 😊

    Honoured to have you mate, welcome aboard and thanks

    Lastly I've did a bit more lst to try get an even spread here's some pics









    That's all I got for now hope these autopots work, think I might have to cut some of the length from the feed tubes they are quite long and windey..

    Not sure what level the trays should fill to but they have about 10/20mm level of feed in each.

    Thanks again people, appreciate the help

    EDIT: I also topped each plant again at 4 points so I should get 8 bud spots like Beth advised

    Hey bro, I have 0.0 background ec and make up to 0.2 before adding base nutes. When blooming I make up with calmag to 0.4 and then add base nutes and p/k... For my tomatoes
    Too weird to live, too rare to die

    I could always get some calmag that's all good cheers fella

    They are definitely drinking from the res as the fill level keeps dropping so...

    So far so good I say! Will drop an update again in a few days

    Good good,glad the system is working out well.

    BA messaged me a thread which is a good read on the wilma

    https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-foru...73-Auto-Pots//

    Have a read through,helps with a few problems that may arise.
    I know how the system work's now,and having read the thread the main thing that stood out was the risk of flooding.

    So just always keep an eye on your float valve.Make sure its always clean and has no gunk round it,as it can stick and release all the res on ya floor,rare but ya know always best to be safe.

    Hello again

    Thanks for that advice above I'll keep on top of the floats for sure.

    As for the plants they are coming on okay but seems to be a little slow, especially the new growth at points they were topped.

    But they are coming on nicely, think I can see a slight yellowey tinge coming over them too thinking I may need to up the feed? I just checked ph of res though and it was at 6.5 so I've dropped it to 5.9.

    Here's some pics



















    Thanks Beth
