Not going to bottom feed. But have taken up with foliar feeding one day with Nectar of the Gods Bloom Khaos and the next day Mad Farmer Silicate.
Them roots are at the bottom of the pot now and now they startibg to spread back up in too the dirt for more moisture for when they need a drink . By foliar feeding or watering they only get what you spray 
, unless you foliar spraying daily when lights on and right before lights out ?
Root/Root feeding is fine, Thats taken care of with my fortified water made up of 2 ml gal of cal-mag, RAW Silicate and Molasses with Bloom City dry fert applied to the soil once a week. Fortified water when plants are thirsty. Already water up to a quart at a time. Had a cool spell so yesterday they only got a pint. Should be back up to a quart by Sunday…

No, I’ve been growing weed since the 5th grade and I’m 61 now. I’ve been doing this a long time. But always enjoy eyes and input. So no, I’m not here at all for help… LMAO!!!

The reason they are doing so well, you have the gnome guards on ‘high’ alert.

Wife and daughters got those for me several years ago. It’s not a offical grow until the gnomes show up.

33 days today from helmet heads. They had grown themselves just a bit to close to the lights and leaf petals were twisting and curling. A quick measurement showed 22" from the tallest plant. Yep to close to the two HLG 100 V2’s so I raised them to 27" and there relaxing now. May run them on up to 30" later today. Also a little bit of nutrient burn today so no foliar feeding today. Might not even feed them there dry nutrients this week if it gets any worse. Time will tell.

Happy growing
5 Weeks today from sprout helmet heads. Today they got there second topping and will get flipped to flower on there 6th week birthday. Pretty normal week for the plants. Got a pint watering earlier in the week and a quart each yesterday. Tiny bit of nutrient burnt tips in new veg so I did not give them any dry ferts today at all. They did get there rotating foliar spray with Bloom Khaos one day and a Silicate spray the next with a no spray day rotation. Main fan leaves are getting really big and there covering up new growth from topping. The 4000 K 1000 V2’s have been doing there job and keeping everything tight and thick. So when I flip them to flower I expect the stretch to be on the violent side and very explosive. I will get there tomato cages this weekend and finish getting them ready for flip. I did order a Apogee MQ-610 ePAR Meter today. So it will be nice to have it in the tool box soon.

At 38 days from helmet heads, today is a big day for the grow as is this week, truth be known. The new HLG dual 260 Rspec lights go in the tent today and get setup and fired up. I also got a Apogee MQ-610 yesterday and also got the Photone Pro App calibrated. So now lighting will be managed as good as it possible can be. I made a run around my local area yesterday looking for 4 Panel Tomato Cages that I like and only found 1ea. I really need 8ea. and I refuse to pay the really stupid prices they want for them online this season. So regrettably I will be using 3.5" scrog. I’m only using scrog for support. I wont be doing any training unless the plants think they want to get out of control. They are all indica strains and all show to be really heavy on the indica side of bred up hyploid fufu weed life. There still drinking on the 1 quart each watering they got last. They will get a silicate foliar spray today. They have completely recovered from the second and finale topping last week. So it’s time to get them on there flowering lights and start getting them use to the new spectrum, power and UV a bit before flipping to flower this Thursday at 6 weeks old.
Looking Good at 38 days.
The Flower Power is going in today!
New Apogee MQ-610 and Calibrated Photone. PPFD and DLI Mastered. No Excuses!

The new light went in today. And it’s fantastic! Set it at 30" above the tallest plant. It’s all centered up and level. And I have both lights set at 135 watts measured with a Kill-A-Watt. This gave me 500 PPFD for the back two plants and 450 PPFD on the front two. Front two plants are a tad shorter and measurement is skewed some because of the tent flaps being open. No reflectivity for the front plants like the rear plants get off the back wall. This is good for a 18 hr. DLI of 32.4 back plants and 29.16 front plants by the HLG calculator. I also have the UVA-30 running. Will flip to flower this Thursday. So I will be bumping the watts up before the flip. Plants also got a feed, watering and a silica foliar spray. Had them out of the tent for a while. So they enjoyed getting back in the tent with the new light and there pampering today. Had to bump up the exhaust fan speed to 4/10. It got up to 83f here today and we didn’t turn the A/C on so the lung room got up to 77f/45%rh. Was humid, suppose to rain tonight and tomorrow. I bought a new humidifier to go into a new 2 x 4 tent that will be going up next weekend if everything gets here. Once I had it in hand I put it in the current running 3 x 3 this grow is in. It fits the tent so much better. Does not have quiet the output the other unit has. But it looks like it will get the job done.
Pics of the new light installed and running.
I like a tall open top tent…

Looking fantastic bro! 
Yesterday marked 6 weeks of veg. With two topping complete. It was time to flip to flower. To celebrate the plants got a Silica and Bloom Khaos foliar spray down in one day! One in the morning and the other in the afternoon. They also got put on there Bloom City flower ferts. The directions say 1 oz. of ferts per plant. I went with .75 oz. per plant on first feeding on the flowering ferts. And two watering’s of a quart each. One quart in the morning and one in the afternoon. First watering was 1/2 tsp cal-mag and two tsp of molasses. Second watering was 1/4 tsp of cal-mag and 1 tsp of molasses. I finally found my large bag of Diatomaceous Earth! So each plant got a 1/3 of a cup worked into the top of the soil. Will add another 1/3 cup per plant next week. Stuff is great for pest control. And as it breaks down it adds silica to the soil. The big thing of the day was the flip to 12/12. The tent is close to a window and I keep the tent vent open on the lower back side of the tent. So when I go into flower I put a pool noodle along the right back corner of the tent against the window frame to help with light control and double check all other light points of interest. Tent room at 72f/35% rh. Tent still at 79f/65% rh. Will drop to 60% rh next week. Went from 50% on the lights to 60%. 60% is 170 watts per fixture for a total of 340 watts. Plants had grown 2" in the last week. Lights are now setting 28" from tallest plant with a PPFD of 725 and a DLI of 31.32 for the back plants and 675 PPFD and DLI 29.16 for the front two plants. The UVA-30 is on for the middle 8 hours of the 12 hour light cycle. Will increase the UVA to 12 hours over the next few weeks. Everything looked good last night just before lights out. It will be interesting to see how they do today.
Only a couple of pics. I really enjoy the UVA only pic. Reminded me of the early 1970’s when as a youngster stoned and heard Frankenstein for the first time in a black light poster room.
