2 and a half weeks update
Hi all,
It's been a few days since my last pictures - so here's a quick update...
Everything seems to be going OK.....night-time temps in the cabinet have dropped to 19.8 deg C, so I may have to have a look at that before the really cold weather comes!
My main concern is the Blueberry, in that the tips of the new growth seem to be yellowing a little - I'm not sure if this is due to the previous over-fert issue, or something new....so I thought I'd ask!

I had to add more lights to keep my temps up at night ... two 45 watt cfls and two hangers only cost me less than 30 quid and is keeping it above 23c at night .... but I'm pulling in cold air from bottom of cab and I'm worried about my root zone being in the firing line. so was thinking of wrapping my pots in bubble wrap to protect them a little

Your plants are looking real nice. I suspect that small bit of yellowing was from the over feeding. Wouldn't be too concerned about it unless it gets worse.
Your node spacing looks a little tight. How high above the plant tops is your light?
I also run into some cool temps issues in both my areas during lights off so have added a small space heater to each area. I also run variable speed controllers on my exhausts fans. When the weather gets cooler I slow the fans down so they don't draw all the hot air out so fast. Takes a bit of trial and error but with the heater and speed controller I'm able to keep relatively stable temps all day.

My light has been approx 18 inches from the plant tops, up until I reached my maximum allowable height....there may have been a couple of days where I was a little slow to react to growth, but I have tried to keep on top of it! Due to my height restrictions, the plants will be inching ever closer to the light from here on in.....is this going to cause issues?
I have been on a 24/0 schedule (after reading how this may help to keep the plants shorter), would switching to 20/4 or 18/6 improve the node spacing? or is that a done deal now?
Temperature wise - I'm hoping to move the cabinet after this run - as it's current semi-outdoor location is either too warm or too cold - and anywhere in between, due to the amazing British climate!
Thanks for keeping me straight Muddy!

You're good on the light height, especially if you've got height restrictions. I like to keep the nodes about 1" apart but I've got plenty of head room in my areas. You may want to cut your lights back to 20/4. I usually run mine 24/0 till they sex, then cut them back. I do believe the plants do better when they have a rest period every day.
I run an outdoor grow box where I'm pulling my air in directly from the outdoors, so am also subject to wide temperature swings. I've pretty much solved that issue by installing an automatic variable speed fan controller. I don't know if this particular one is available to you, but it's what I use. http://www.qcsupply.com/commercial-...mount-variable-speed-controller-110-volt.html. Combined with a small space heater I'm able to maintain about 78 degrees plus or minus 5 degrees.

Many of my autos have gnarly leaves until the third or fourth set, then they are fine. The Blue Himalaya I've been working with does this, other strains not so much I guess.
Everything's looking good, I am still undecided about nutes, but maybe that's because I grow so many strains at once. I used to wait several weeks to add nutes, but now I start adding maybe after a couple weeks, and keep the N plentiful until they are nearly done stretching, but really if your leaves are a healthy green you should be OK.
I just use fish poo 5-1-1, and not too strong, so I think it'd be hard to hurt them. I'm considering using a 5-5-1 (forget the K number) throughout the whole grow if needed, nice and stinky organic juice.
Less if probably better than more until you get a feel for your setup and your strains.

Account problems so i'll finish thread here!
Hey guys n gals!
my chunkymonkey account aint active at the mo - so i'll attempt to finish this thread as best I can!
I took all 3 plants at 70 days due to lighting issues, the Auto-Blueberry was almost done with some amber trichs, mainly milky though.
The Cobra and KVS could have ideally gone longer but I still managed over 1oz per plant as a conservative estimate!

Picture above shows (left to right) KVS, Cobra and AutoBlueberry.
Here are some other pics from the grow.....hope you like them!
