do you use any root zone products or biostimulants?

In 5gal buckets of perl one could concievably produce 5-10lbs of tomatoes given enough light easily ..per /container !
Just think/imagine ..... thats alot of rootspace .
My only concern with this set-up u have (hand water/trays?) is the tendency for too much evaporation & salt build-up in the top half of the bucket & those plants look very green almost to the point of lite stress . The perlite does dry out very rapidly in the top half & salts do concentrate.
Since u have this set up as a raised "stadium" type grow it would be a bit of work but fairly easy to add some 1/2" fittings & 1/2" connector lines and do a recirculating top~drip/feed from a Rez . This would insure proper flushing/rinsing action over the entire rootzone & prevent inordinate salt build-up . Though the pump would have to be well filtered along with an inline filter with perlite tending to get everywhere & into the lines .
U could drip this medium every 2hrs or so during the light cycle & the growth rate would/should be incredible ...though would go lite on the nutes & keep the PH a little on the low side as mistress (very tecnically oriented person!) suggests .
So this is an FI cross from the VCI peeps ?
The plant is built like some candian girls i have know , lol!

yes the VCI peeps did this cross, i believe they did a great job on this strain, i could see how the plants grow and the talks, very strong/healthy strain. I hope i can get them grow in their full potential !!!
I have a great idea in my head using perlite and drip system but i cant do anything as this moment because i got to much stuff on me plate , after this run i will set up a perlite/with automated drip system i believe i will get bigger plants/ bigger buds with it.
if going to flower them @ that size.....
can snip off all growing tips closest to the main stem, on the branches & shoots.
not the fan leaves, just the 2-3 growing tips closes to main stalk.
maybe 1 more tyme, @~ day 14 of lower. same tech, pinching off growing tips/shoots @ inter-nodes closest to stem.
since not doing trees, & dont need multiple internode sites, can delete all exact tops.
maybe even thin tops down to 3-4 main leads, per plant. @ finish, plant more efficient & less energy on tiny flowers, on small plants.
stake for that small plant only to support 3-4 large tops.
perlite garden!
Im late lol its not caturday anymore = cathug:that's a cola!!!

Very clean grow room looks like a place I would wanna grow ;-) They are looking real healthy, cannot wait to see them flower.
Almost forgot, sorry to hear your a bro But thats ok, grow on Bro
red,do you have both lights on at this point? if so,how long did you run both lamps during veg?
and blanner is right,your grows are always so clean and well tended,one of the marks of a truly good grower...
