Big Girl ScrOG Vs. SF-7000

Hello Growers! Have you ever had a plant that overgrew your tent before you could even flip her to flower????? In the beginning, I had no intentions of flowering the plant featured in this diary. She was a little cutting, struggling in one gallon of coco coir, tucked away in the dark corner of my 2x4 foot tent. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with this girl, until a few people asked me if I had any cuttings to share. I decided to rinse her root-ball clean of the coco, and transfer her to a small Deep Water Culture set-up, to quickly get her healthy as a mother plant. Next thing I know....BOOM...she's into the lights💩 and filled my 2x4 tent. Clearly it was time for a grow room upgrade!!! MORE LIGHT! MORE SPACE! MORE RESERVOIR!!! Luckily I had a Spider Farmer SF-7000 Light on hand, that I won in a contest here on Grow Diaries😃. That should flower out this plant. I opted to purchase a new 5 x 10 x 7(includes a 1 foot extension kit) tent. Lots of room now. Lastly, I moved her from a 5 gallon bucket (3 gallons of usable reservoir) to a 104L Tote (up to 15 Gallons of usable reservoir). My Nutrient Inputs: To keep costs down, I will be using a powdered nutrient ( 5-12-25 Tomato Blend ) by MasterBlend, plus Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulfate), and Calcium Nitrate. This is essentially the Jack's 3-2-1 method ( for those of you who are familiar with it ), except I'm using MasterBlend, a more readily available manufacturer in Canada. I mixed up two concentrated stock solutions to make a Part A and Part B, for fast, easy reservoir mixing. The formula is roughly 3 parts MasterBlend, 2 parts Calcium Nitrate, and 1 part Epsom Salt, all measured by weight. To Make Part A - Start with a 4 Liter bottle of distilled water. Remove about 2 liters and set aside. Mix in 720 grams of MasterBlend and stir until fully dissolved. Then mix in 240 grams of Epsom Salt (magnesium sulfate) and stir until fully dissolved. Now add back enough distilled water, that was set aside earlier, to make 4 liters of stock solution. Store in a cool, dark place. Light proof containers are advised. To Make Part B - Start with a 4 Liter bottle of distilled water. Remove about 2 liters and set aside. Mix in 500 grams of Calcium Nitrate and stir until fully dissolved. Now add back enough distilled water, that was set aside earlier, to make 4 liters of stock solution. Store in a cool, dark place. Light proof containers are advised. Part A gets mixed into the reservoir, followed by part B. Equal amounts of Part A and Part B are typically used. These stock solutions will make several hundred gallons ( depending on your dosage strength ) of mixed reservoir nutrients, inexpensively. I also will be supplementing with GHE Armor Si and Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus. I add the Si to the reservoir first, followed by Cal-Mag, then A & B. I hope to only change out the reservoirs weekly, and top off as required. I will pH my fresh reservoirs to 5.8 and top off with a pH of 5.8. The pH is bound to drift, but I'm going to just let it (unless I see some lockout occurring😠). That's about it for my intro...... Thanks for stopping in! If you have any questions, about this 3-2-1 stuff, ask below or message me, and I'll try to answer as best I can. Peace, DeaneR😎
