Gorilla Girl, Sweet Amnesia Haze, TPF1FV

Day 43. CL air temps 24-31C, roots 24-25, RH 46-57%. 10L remaining, EC 1 Looks like they'd drank more than usual in the previous 24hrs but I'd been dialling back in 2 of the plants at the back since they'd had silt blockages removed, so can't really be sure how much these girls had drank. Probably the usual. Removed 2 lower shoots and 1 leaf from the SAH and 2 leaves from each of the others. Then performed a res change. I first mixed up 20L of feed ready for when I'd emptied the res. Background EC 0.37 straight from the tap. 3/4 ml/L VK to 0.4 3/4 ml/L Mi to 0.49 3/4 ml/L Bl to 0.6 3/4 ml/L NC to 0.65 3/4 ml/L AF to 0.73 I then gave each plant 900ml of plain water very slowly through a 300ml syringe until it just started to leak from the bottom, no messing about with drain racks and saucers this time. I did this first so there'd be no demand for feed from any of the plants before doing the res change, a precaution to prevent air or silt being drawn in. Any water that leaked through the side of the fabric pots was sucked straight back up but there wasn't much. As soon as I saw leaks from the sides I stopped for a second. I'd been racking my brains for 2 days for what to use to bung the outlet in the res and it was sitting right there in front of me on the table lol Swan extra slim filter tip. I first tried one in the spare outlet, rolling it and compressing it like you would an ear defender plug. Shoved it in the hole and opened the tap to test it. Just a very slight slow drip from the tap with 10L of feed pressure against it so I figured that would stop any air being drawn in when I emptied the res, and defo no silt :) Plugged the main outlet and closed the tap inside the tent that's just before the first feed tube T off. Emptied the res and cleaned the silt from the res bottom and the pump strainer. The res was filled with the 20L mix before removing the plug and opening the valve back up. I've included a quick pic of the plugs in place, simple but effective. Day 44. CL air temps 24-31C, roots 24-26, RH 46-62%. EC 0.87 16L remaining so they'd each drank their 900ml of plain water, plus 4L of feed from the res between them all in 24hrs. I removed 4 lower scabby leaves from the GG, 4 lower shoots from the SAH and 2 lower scabby leaves from the TPFV. As you can see from the previous 3 days the highest lights on temps were high and also the lights off humidity was high so I turned the Variac up to 70% of low speed on the extraction fan. The extractor fan when wired to low speed, operates at 80% of full power, so 70% on the Variac of 80% on the fan = 56% of full power. Both the inlet fans from the rad box and veg cab were turned up a bit and neg pressure was maintained in the tent. I turned the blue dimmer up on the LED by another 10w to 230w. Day 45. CL air temps 24-28C, roots 23-25, RH 42-53%. 9L remaining in res, EC 0.86 Removed 2 shading fan leaves from each, plus 2 lower shoots from the SAH. 20L mix, background EC 0.37 3/4 ml/L VK to 0.39 3/4 ml/L Mi to 0.49 3/4 ml/L Bl to 0.59 3/4 ml/L NC to 0.63 3/4 ml/L AF to 0.71 Added to res for a total of 29L, combined EC 0.76 Day 46. CL air temps 24-28C, roots 23-25, RH 41-53%. 21L remaining, EC 0.87 The SAH was looking over watered so I turned her Blumat down by one notch on the adjuster. Removed 4 more lower shoots from the SAH and one from the GG. The girls were looking a bit more tidy now that most of the old scabby leaves were gone. The tent was smelling more sweet when I opened it, with less dank sweaty humidity hitting me in the face since upping the extraction. Day 47. CL air temps 22-28C, roots 22-23, RH 40-52% 15L in res, EC 0.85 I took 2 lower small shoots from the SAH and 2 leaves from each of the GG and TP. Turned the Blumat down by half a notch on the SAH and turned the LED down by 10w to 220w. Day 48. CL air temps 24-28C, roots 22-23, RH 37-46%. 6L in res, EC 0.85 Removed 1 lower shoot from the SAH and 2 leaves from all 3 plants. Mixed 20L, background EC 0.37 5/8 ml/L VK to 0.39 5/8 ml/L MI to 0.47 5/8 ml/L Bl to 0.56 5/8 ml/L NC to 0.59 5/8 ml/L AF to 0.65 Added to res for a total of 26L, combined EC 0.7 Day 49. CL air temps 23-27C, roots 20-23, RH 36-44%. 20L remaining, EC 0.81 Temps were dropping a bit so I turned the oil rad back up from 1/2 to 2/3rds on the dial. Removed 2 shoots and 2 leaves from the SAH and 2 leaves from the GG. Tied the 2 outer branches of the TP back to the inner branches with some pipe cleaners as they were leaning out even further. It now measured 800mm wide. The aromas from the tent were getting sweet now compared to the dank sweaty humid aromas I was getting before
