Whats up with the soil? Is that diatomacous earth on top or lime? Is your water penetrateing that white layer on top if not so well I'd scratch it because they can seal up the top preventing proper leaching.

It's just coco coir with perlite on top, i only use this as an preventive method for bugs, they like coco much more than perlite
I have a quite good drainage, actually i always used perlite to improve drainage when i was running soil.

They're looking good so far man but I have to admit I think you're making quite a mistake by flowering them right now. The scrog screen is great but it's completely useless if you don't give them another week or two of vegging to fill in the screen a little bit more
Just my two cents.

Oh and also they're showing signs of nitrogen deficiency, which is a huge problem this early in flower. If they're yellowing right now then they're going to really have a hard time finishing later on down the road.

I think you are right, i was with afraid of that, because since i've been that days without HPS they almost didn't stretched for what its usual. This is a strain that stretch like a bitch, but now they ain't following that, do you think that it wouldnt damage them to revert to veg for 1 week now?because they are all packed with pistils already, i will try to upload some updated pic's.

yeah show me a picture to get an idea of how far along they are in flower before I can answer that. You might want another 2 weeks of veg to correct the deficiency and to fill in the screen. most scrogs fill the screen about 75% or more before they start flowering.

hmmm.... that's pretty far along. Honestly if you switched back now it would be a week before they even reverted to veg growth. If you can spare another 3-4 weeks before you start flowering your yields would multiply by literally a factor of ten. However if you're on a tight schedule then I'd say just let them go, they're probably only about 6-7 weeks from finished as it is and you can practice filling the screen on your next round.

I don't have that much time, and i've flowered these plants coz i ran out of weed, i got one mother that can fill that net with no problem, i guess i will flower it when this grow is over, but for now i just wanted some weed to smoke so i guess i will keep the 12/12.
Feed today 10ml A+B 5ml rhizo, they should get some color by tomorrow

Hey if you're growing in straight, unamended coco then you should be feeding with every watering. I'm thinking that might be part of the reason for the deficiency as well.
they've grown a lot already since the last picture though!

I bought coco from the bag this time, and soaked in nutrient solution. I would like to feed them every time, but it wouldn't be wise to do it untill i have some EC meter,i can keep them more stable if i feed every other watering.
I guess that i'm going to buy a submersible pump or smth to collect the runoff when i flush them this week.
They've grown a lot since last feeding (2 days ago), it gave them a little bump for sure.
Thanks for all the help and attention guys

Your nutrient solution should have an EC or PPM conversion chart from mL/Gal on the label. Just reduce it by about 10-15% to account for water quality in your area and you should be good.

Well, i can make the calcs and give it a try, if i see signs of overfeeding i will give them ph'd water. If i feed every watering i should give them 1 flush per week right?

no need in my opinion. you can if you're super worried about salt buildup, but honestly you're drastically underfeeding them right now since you're treating the coco like soil.

Yeah they need more feeding, but i'm not treating them like soil, just got out of nutrients for some time, or i wouldnt let it moist all the time, or wouldn't aim for a ph of 5.8
I will follow your advice, and push the girls to the max they can take!!!

Hahaha ok true true. The only way you were being soil-y is by feeding every other or every three feedings.

UPDATE
3rd Week
Pics were taken just after today's feeding 5ml A+B ph'd 5.9
So, the girls started to develop some trichomes, and the smell when i open the tent after lights go out is just...yuuumy!
I've been with some problem with the damn mites, mostly due to lack of ventilation, i got only one pc fan oscilating there, my 2 fans ain't working, and all fans are off-season here, so i can't buy it anywhere.
The girl on the middle it's by far the weakest plant,with some serious attack from mites.
I'm very sorry for the low quality pic's, but i'm still without my cam, i hope i can take some nice pic's before the final weeks.

6th Week
I had some security problems and i couldn't risk i had to pack all the stuff and move, all the plants are still packed, so as the equipment. Ok, now i'm angry, right when the plants started to have a better color and develop big and frosty nugs i can't grow it, this fuck'd up my plans that were just to have enough smoke for the summer.I will post some pics of the plants before the incident soon. I don't think that i will be able to finish this batch even if i do, the plants will never be like i want them to be in the end , so i must figure out now, how can i grow it more safely

What happened?
If if you lose those girls, hang them up dry them out and make some BHO or some form of concentrate with them.
Better luck next time

i've been quite busy last weeks,now i'm back online
But it doesn't ends here
I moved my suff, the plants survived 5 days in boxes without light, i'm gonna have to finish this but ofc that expectations will be much lower now, but its better than nothing
They are now without the net, because it will be some serious PITA to place it right.
Nuff talk, pics now
