Crescendo featuring Floraflex/Power Si

Unreal207 Got lights and table setup today! A lot of work still to be done but I’m aiming to get everything prepped and transplanted for 4//4/21. I didn’t feel confident about the spacing, I tried to tuck the lights up best I could but still went and got a fast fit leg reduction kit. That will give me an extra 14” between lights and table. Still need to get a reservoir to set up the irrigation system. First time running these drippers. It’s going to take some time to get everything dialed but I have faith this is the way to feed coco. Using 1 gal quick fill bags from floraflex. I’ll mix a light batch of nutrients to expand the pucks in the bags, give that a few days to dry back then transplant my clones. Going hard on the Floraflex, these guys really know their stuff and have the products to back it up. This will hopefully make for my most dialed in run ever. Don’t hold back your questions and comments I look forward to having you guys along for the ride!

Unreal207 Finally after delays I got things to where I want to be. Had a few items missing from my flora flex order so it set back my irrigation setup. I had to expand the pucks by hand in 4 different series. Super annoying and really time consuming. They need 4600 ML to expand and can only hold so much water at once so it was annoying but not the end of the world. I really like these things and they’ll be better next time expanding with drippers. Some of the cuts grew like monsters in the cloner an shadowed the smaller clones so I have some inconsistency. After these settle in for a few days I’ll top them and start super cropping once I get trellis setup so I’m not worried. Ended up with 28 Crescendo, 2 platinum cake, 2 Dosi Dos #33, and 2 Garlic breathe cuts. I want to gauge these new strains to see for next run. Lights starting at 25% I’m going to setup irrigation tonight. At day 5 I’m going to ramp up to 50% lights and give them their first feed. Currently absorbing whats in the expanded pucks now.

Unreal207 As with everything there’s always a learning curve when you switch up your normal technique. When I expanded the pucks at the start I put 2x as much water as intended and have had issues with overwatered slow vegging plants. On top of not having uniform clones this has turned out to be a pain. Thankfully this is all behind us now and will know for next time. First picture is before topping and stripping everything down. Second picture is once I got the canopy to where I wanted it to be. Extended veg this run so to not lose sleep over my perfect canopy. Everything was topped and first layer trellis was put in place. The plan is to work them into the trellis and let them recover from the stress for 7-10 days while super cropping what needs to be done to maintain canopy even through stretch. 82 degrees Fahrenheit, 70% humidity, 1200 PPM Co2, and 8x feedings of 30 ML shots. First feed two hours after lights come on and last feed two hours before lights off. Everything staggered in between. I am thoroughly impressed with the Floraflex line. I am running the no Cal/Mag schedule and it’s working flawlessly. Very clean res swaps and very very stable PH throughout the whole week.
