Led/cfl/scrog hydro grow

Hello everyone this is my second grow 1st true attempt at hydro. My first grow was in soil and was very succesful out of 12 seedlings 8 reached harvest others had to be discarded for space reasons. All 8 were female and i ended up with a nice harvest of decent smoke. I will be starting this journal 1 month into veg with these current ladies. Im new at posting so please bare with me, heres the setup.

2- 5 gallon buckets
the one on the left is la women (cali)
the one on the right is l.s.d (delilah) (grew one of these in soil and wow!)
1- 90 watt ufo led
5- 23 watt cfl's

IM GROWING IN A ENCLOSED BOX WITH A 6IN EXHAUST D.I.Y CARBON SCRUBBER ATTACHED ALSO HAVE A FAN INSIDE THE BOX CIRCULATING AIR SO FAR MY TEMPS HAVE NOT GONE HIGHER THAN 84 F

COMMENTS, QUESTIONS, AND ADVISE ARE ALL ENCOURAGED AND GREATLY APPRECIATED. AND I WANNA THANK SOME PPL B4 HAND FOR THEIR ADVICE AND HELP DURING MY FIRST GROW AND HOPEFULLY THROUGHOUT THIS ONE
SO THX SPICESAUCE AND THX LBH. ALSO A BIG THX TOO ALL PARTICIPANTS OF THIS GROW WHO LEND KNOWLEDGE AND WHO STUMBLE UPON THIS GROW WITH QUESTIONS.

I wanted to know what everyone thought of my setup so far i am thinking of pulling clones in a few days and was wondering what you guys thought of lollipoping these girls. Again thx for any responses

I forgot i also have two mini leds hanging over cali. Theyre diy so im not sure of the wattage

Looks killer!!

well the girls are now 1 month old so tonight i will start the 24 hr darkness period and induce flowering. this is my first attempt using a scrog so im hoping everyone can guide me as to what i should be doing. here are some updated pics actually taken last night. i will be posting some more recent ones in a few mins. also no one has answered my lollipop question hopefully someone can shed some light on what to do. their getting pretty big.

Ok here are some pics from right now. I just finished training them so they look a little limp. Tomorrow i will post more pics after they rest any suggestions?

looking good, I didnt know that you were already about to flower thats crazy wanna hook me up with a clone if you havent cut them yet...., I got my own bucket going now and the white widow clone you gave me is comming back to life. Dont get to upset about the lack of responces here, I did my entire grow on here and not many people stoped by my thread.

thx yea it can b frustrating when you cant seem to have any questions answered but its cool, i use this to keep track of what i do day to day.

UPDATE: i didnt switch to flower yesterday because i wasnt sure if my screen was full enogh i think i will shut the lights out today tho for sure to start the 24 dark period b4 flowering here are some pics from today after they recovered from yesterdays lst.

hey do you guys think its time for me to switch to flower? i said i was going to but i havent pulled the trigger yet because im not sure, i want my whole screen to be filled

wow thx so much for stoppin by to check out my grow yoda. ive seen your work and im a huge fan so it means alot that youve sub'd to my journal. i switched the lights last night so i will be turning them back on at 6pm because i want the schedule to be a 6pm-6am.
new pics will be put up tonight.thx again for the sub:smoke:

Hi everyone sorry i couldnt update yesterday but ive been very busy. i did switch to flower as suggested by YODA and i also installed some new lights for flowering.

NEW PROBLEM, with my scrog in place i am unable to lift the lids to replace the buckets. yes i know i could have built a res but ive had bad experiences trying to seal buckets so i decided to avoid drilling holes at all costs(13 gallons on the carpet)
i have an idea and i will try to implement it into my grow chamber hopefully it works if anyone has encountered this before please i want to hear your suggestions or thoughts on this and my grow in general

if my idea does work i will be posting updates tonight so stay tuned. ill leave you with some new pics PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

heres my rig wat do u think just finished it

oh dam, how you still got those clones. You have had them for quite a hand full of months now, how can you keep clones just chilling for so long? or are you talking about fresh ones?

LOL.....SPICEY!

hey man, i think it looks great. even better than I had pictured it. You have HUGE hairball of roots!! I bet they drink water like crazy. Just make sure you keep them submerged in the water full of bubbles at all times. How are the air stones holding up? still lots of bubbles?

Can anyone tell me why aquarium airstones clogged? Is there a way to restore it to full performance or do you just have to replace it? Please let me know, because I would love to reuse airstones if I could unclogg them.

thats a damn fine grow man.

i like seeing LED grows and i like seeing CFL grows haha.

your gonna have some nice bud man but your gonna run out of room!

Ill be needing new ones very soon but 4 now the ones i have will suffice thx alot for stoppin by thread too

im not sure if you can reuse em something to research for sure tho, i want to get those small ones the long ones i have get tangled in my massive root balls

king you're going to love the idea i have for my box, it's going to be the shit. If both of those clones make it i'm keeping them. I don't know how they going to fit in there, but I'm going big again. I want a perfect LSD, maybe two
