Black Cream Micro Soil

Day 22 - It's a girl! Adjusted LST a little bit. My fat fingers aren't great at it but all looking good for now. Some mildly burnt tips so have removed fish mix from feeding solution. Currently watering with Alg-A-Mic @ 2ml/L, and will probably add a biotab today or tomorrow. This takes a few days to become available to the plant so hopefully won't exacerbate the burnt tips at that stage. Light running at about 375 PPFD for a DLI of 27 on 20/4 schedule. Aiming for about 450 PPFD/33 DLI by the end of the week. Day 23 - added a biotab to the soil and soaked the pot with a mix of 5ml Orgatrex/1g Bactrex per litre, and gave a litre total. Biotabs recommend 2 for a 12L pot but in my experience that's too much for autos. Would rather add one and amend as necessary, Day 26 - looking good, seems the plant is recovering from mild over fert. Clawing tips no longer as claw-like. Trimmed a couple of particularly awkward fan leaves to try and create more light penetration and encourage side branches to grow a bit more. Day 27 - first signs of purpling appear at bracts/calyxes. Been going heavy on LST to try and create an even canopy. Pot was feeling a bit dry so gave about 800ml of water with 0.4ml calmag/L (pHd to 6.1) - gonna go easy on the calmag as my water has a fair bit of calcium as is, but I have noticed Mag deficiencies on all my grows with this setup so will see how this goes. A little of this and a little alg-a-mic should see me right. Day 28 - all looking nice and healthy. continuing to apply LST and leaf tucking as necessary. Another week in the books. Plant is responding well to LST and light feeding schedule. I expect another week or so of veg-like growth, then a week or so of stretch and then full on flowering. With this in mind, I'll probably keep feeding to a minimum next week while the biotab takes effect, just alg-a-mic and water, and perhaps another calmag feed in 6-7 days. I will continue with LST to try and keep an even canopy as the growth continues to explode. I will apply plant magic evolution spray one more time, likely tomorrow. Light is currently at ~ 450 umol, running 20/4 for a DLI of ~ 32.4. Thanks for reading, see you next week!
