12/14: Day 30. After being watered and the soil topped on 12/12 (day 28) we're just hanging and watching. The plants are growing around half an inch to an inch a day. They measured in at 7" yesterday and have put on more height. One of the two TD's shows leaf surface burning on a couple of the bottom leaves from last week's feed. Not bad, but a few leaves on one. This week, I do plan on bumping up the feed, but probably only to around 550ppm or so. I've reduced the humidity down to the 58-60% range and the PPFD for the lights is up in the 600 range.
12/15: Day 31 The S T R E T C H is upon us! RUUUN AWAAAY! Overnight we gained just over 3 inches. Ended up raising the light because there was a little tip burn on the ends of the new growth...Lights are now right around 24"
12/17: Day 33. Feed day, following the GHE Trio schedule numbers for 'light'. Coming in at 615ppm, which seems reasonable. Had some lowers get brown spotting this past week, pretty sure it was an over-feed and possibly too low pH. I calibrated my pH meter today and found it was off, and showing higher than it should have been, so the last cycle was probably down in the 5.7 range. Fixed that for today and gave everyone a gallon and a half of water (which is to a reasonable amount of runoff). Plants are still growing fairly aggressively, and at a rate of an inch or more a day. Up to 12" and we haven't gotten to that early flower stretch yet.
12/18: Day 34 Lookin' good after yesterday's feed. Time for some training and manipulation after yesterday's feed. No signs of it being too hot for these plants...they're just as happy as ever. TD#2 got folded over horizontally with supercropping at the main stem as well as a handful of the smaller lowers. Those have been trained out at slightly different angles so they get good light coverage.
12/19: Day 35: Checked in...the plants are happy and sprang right up after their supercrop and tie-down. They really don't seem to care much. Adjusted the lighting to hit week 5's desired DLI/PPFD...Now sitting right around ~700-730.
