Canopy flat and plants happy!
I’ll wait till day 30 before light defoliation then lollie pop around day 40.
Day 28. Watered with full nutrients EC 1.1.
Light intensity 650-750ppfd.
Height 12 inch. Both strains neck and neck 🙂
Day 29. Height 14 inch.
Light intensity 650-850 ppfd. Checked with LED full spectrum ppfd meter.
Day 30. Watered each plant 2litre with added bud start EC 1.8.
Light intensity 700-850 ppfd.
Height 14inch.
Day 31. Height 16inch. 700-900 ppfd.
Trimmed a few leaves. 5 per plant.
Day 32. Watered with plain water with added carbs for root zone microbes ph7.
Day 33. Removed any fan leaves facing into plants center for better light penetration.
Day 34. Filled autopot system and watered with full nutrients with added ton-o-bud EC 1.0 PH 6.5.
Height:
Gelato 20inch
Zkittlez 19inch
(I’ll keep light intensity around 800-900ppfd to limit stretch). This is well above 45 DLI (daily light integral) so when stretch is over if my lights height is maxed out I’ll have to reduce my lighting schedule for remainder of flower so not to stress them out.
45 DLI ON 18/6 light schedule is 600-700ppdf.
*You can go as high as 65 DLI (1000ppfd on 18/6 or 1500ppfd on 12/12) if running high amounts of CO2, higher temps, higher humidity and higher EC.

Sounds like its the calmag to me so if you adjusted that you are good. I cant speak for the gelato strain but the zkittlez with gulp down a shit-ton of calmag. I just grew one. Very healthy eater. When you see that light lime green color she wants more.
Beautiful start my brother. Listen Ive grown this strain a few times....she is a thirsty girl. Drinks a lot. Easy on the nitrogen but give her all of the calmag she can handle. 6.5-7 ph and they are going to soar. I add "Flower Fuel" in flowering. NPK of 1-34-32
@GutterHoe,
Hey buddy, thanks for the tips! Can’t wait to see her in full flower mode.
Just building the roots up a little longer then when the autopot is on they can drink as much as they need.
