As per a friend’s recommendation…
For about 36 hours before flip, I had the plant in total darkness. I also applied a foliar feed just before lights out with aloevate, a touch of marine and- rhino k. Yup!
Well when I came back to turn the lights on and start 12/12, I saw leaves praying strong. Incredible.
He also recommended the double dose of Aloevate (10ml/L) in the res for this week.
“To help with the stretch”.
During this week I also redid the plumbing, and installed a feed and return line from the DWC bucket to the 50L res. because the plant was drinking 3 L/day…had to refill it every 2-3 days when it was getting this big.
Working really nicely now. I also put in a clear tube on a T piece to act as a level gauge.
