Northern Lights vs Lemon Skunk

Helloooooo Growmies 😝 Week 3 complete on the Northern Lights as Lemon Skunk goes into it's 3rd week. I have been a bit liberal with the fertigation as you can see I have some algae on top of my medium, but I'm not concerned about this as it will dissipate once she has a sufficient canopy and less light reaches the perlite. We've got a cold front coming in, so maintaining reasonable temps is a bit challenging. I've raised my SF2000 to 60cm and have reduced the power to 75% to give my Lemon Skunk a bit of a rest. Once she's growing proper leaves, I'll drop the light down to normal veg heights and increase the power % as I go. Northern Lights was topped 2 days ago. Her new nodes have slowed, but the rest of her as continued to grow. Maintaining a higher EC has halted her Mg deficiency, and today I removed the 4 lowest leaves and lowest node growths. This will allow her to start prioritising growth on her other nodes which I will eventually be able to train into a nice flat canopy. Lemon Skunk has had a rough start to life but is starting to come good. You can see from the distorted/twisted leaves and yellowing that she was severely deficient in Ca and Mg. This is my fault as I relied on my Floramax suite to supply sufficient calcium and magnesium, but there is simply not enough at lower EC's to satisfy my coco's cation exchange. Moving forward, despite running a pre-buffered coco product (Canna coco pro+) I'll be pre-loading my substrates with a heavy calmag solution so there's enough for the early stages of life and a nutrient wash before planting simply does not meet the needs of the plant. That's it for this week, seeyas next week. Peace out 👌👻
