REALLY Happy with development to date.
Keeping lighting ~ 700 - 500 PPFD, Effective should increase slightly as growth returns to Vertical . . .
Watering about 240/day - transitioning to ~360 every other, as 240/day is more than it really needs (from appearances)

Week 9 - Flower - Wednesday 2021.07.14
This week I finally acknowledged the 'tip burn' followed by 1/4-1/3? brown at leaf tip INDICATES ZINC DEFICIENCY.
After some investigation, The following symptoms I've experienced ACROSS my grow are:
- SHORT Inter-nodal Spacing
- Overall stunting of plant
- Difficulty to flower
THIS is my experience the past 2 grows w/ RO.
LESSON LEARNED: IFF one must use RO - ALWAYS REMINERALIZE!!!!
Demeters Destiny (GREAT PRODUCT) is NOT ideal for Remineralization. (I was thinking just get PPM ~100 or so. Wrong)
<H1>Remineralization of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water</H1>
@KingdomAquaponics/Leighton Morrison: Remineratlization Formula
0.4 g Calcium Chloride Dihydrate
2.0 g Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate
2.0 g Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate 0.7 g Potassium Carbonate
25 Liters of Water
This solution provides:
- 24 ppm Calcium
- 8 ppm Magnesium
- 16 ppm Potassium
- 7 ppm Chloride
- GH = 5
- KH = 1
Calcium Sulphate, Magnesium Sulphate, and Potassium Carbonate may be purchased by The Nutrient Company. Calcium Chloride can be found on eBay.

was
Zinc Deficiency Symptoms
• The leaves of the plant turn 90 degrees sideways.
• The tips of the leaves become ‘burned’ and discolored, with brown spots arriving shortly afterward.
• New growth shows signs of interveinal chlorosis.

⁃ Lower leaves showing Nitrogen deficiency - Kelp Meal or Alfalfa, at what rate?
Week 11 - Flower Week 7 - Wednesday 2021.07.28
Summary
- Appears to be taking up more water. I’ve been waiting for some droop before watering.
- Trichomes are 98% cloudy, w/ < 4% amber - None are Opaque. There are ta few richome heads indicating ripeness (shrinking trichome abscission) - but the vast majority show little shrinkage at the abscission.
- All Pistils are reddish-brown - few short whites on top of some buds.
- We’ll give her ANOTHER week, while monitoring trichomes
- The lower leaves have slowly yellowed - Removed all after they are 50% yellow. (Leaves store nutrients that can migrate to where they’re needed - until the leaf is consumed.)
- We’re nearing the Finish Line!!

Observations
- Continue to have Lower Fan Leaves consumed (Chlorosis) Kelp Meal (1 Tbsp) was insufficient or not yet broken down, or perhaps the plant consumed it’s nuts and still doesn’t have ‘enough.’

I topped once, and then trained the resulting 8 nodes outwards to the edge of the pot. Black Strap recovered quickly after topping, remiained flexible for training, and is one of the easiest grows I've had.
