Auto Critical Orange Punch

Little info about soil prep: I'm experimenting with biobizz light mix amended by Guanakalong complete organics, worm castings and dolomite lime. Upper half layer of soil is only light mix and little bit of dolomite lime - I wouldn't add anything there but my soil came only with 5.7 ph. I let it cook for about 3 weeks with dechlorinated tap water. As a germination process i used glass of water for 24h and wet paper towel in warm area until tap root was large enough (around 1cm) then transplanted into final container. Seed sprouted in around 6-7 days from soaking in water. This whole week i did not water at all since my pot was moist enough from previous cooking stage.

Since week 1 my SF 4000 has been dimmed to 1/3 of its power 60 cm away. During this time there is not much to do except controling proper conditions of temperature, rh and air flow. My 20l pots still hold enough moisture so i only sprinkle the top soil lightly when it dries out.

As soon as week 3 started i increased my SF 4000 lights to 40% power. During this week i pretty much daily used lots of LST, Leaf tucking and some super cropping. After every training i spray her with dechlorinated tap with BB - Alg A Mic.

I've been slowly increasing power of my SF 4000. This week we're at 50%. Ph of soil started dropping on quite acidic levels so i decreased supplements used for watering. At this point she drinks maybe around 200 ml of water per day.

Last week i saw first pistils coming out so this is oficially begining of (pre)flowering. SF 400 lights are currently running at 60 % of its power. I reamendment my medium which increased ph from too acidic side to above neutral. Because of that i water with more acidic water to stabilize medium's ph. She drinks now around 250 - 300 ml of water per day.

At this point lst is over and I'm satisfied with the result. Defoliation on the other hand will be handy with this bushy strain in upcoming weeks. So far no singns of deficiency have appeared.
