A Tale of 2 Northern Lights Autos

Week 7; First REAL week of flower. These two got watered back on 12/30, then I hi-tailed it out of state for some holiday fun. Right on schedule, they were thirsty/hungry today, 1/3/22 (Day 42). I'm bumping up my feed schedule for both Northern Lights & the other grow (Tangerine Dream). The Hardwater GH Micro is awesome, but I was mixing the 'light' schedule and ending up only in the 400ppm range. The Medium feed was giving me closer to 615ppm, so I just kept those ratios static and bumped up the feed to 740 across the board. Spent some time fidgeting with the setup as always, LST'ed both plants with ties though I've left the main stems untouched on all of them. Adjusted the humidity UP a little bit to about 55%, which will keep the VPD on track in the 1.2 zone on average. Lights were actually dimmed slightly, as Photone is suggesting something in the 30's is now more appropriate than the 45DLI range. Removed the last few ratty lower leaves that had been holding on since the early overwater about 3 to 4 weeks ago. 01/05/22 (Day 44), Was working on the other two (Tangerine Dream grow), so did a bit with these. They're looking good to me. This time I went with less shaping (no topping) and have just been LST'ing as needed. The one on the far left is full stretch mode and has nearly hit 3' (28 or 29 inches). I adjusted the tie-downs and bent over it's main to bring it in line with the rest of the canopy. It was starting to be in the 15" from the lights range. Not too much work and not bent too aggressively, but enough that I think the other stems will get a chance, but that the main will be more aligned with the rest of the plants. When I went into the tent at about 6pm (lights on is about 5:15pm), the plants' leaves were all in 'praying stance'...something I didn't see last grow. I believe it means the grow environment is good and that the VPD is in a happy place. I'm averaging a 1.1 VPD across the day...BTW, the folks at AC-Infinity have added VDP & associated graph to the readout of the Controller 67, so that's pretty awesome. 01/07/22: Day 46: Watering day, each plant got 6L of 6.5pH water...and a runoff of just around 1L. If they haven't stopped stretching, they soon will. The Main on one of these two is LONG but has been LST'ed over pretty aggressively to maintain a shorter more even canopy. Adjusted the rest of the ties, and I'm sure in the next week they'll continue to work upward. Pretty happy where these are. First of the new trichomes have started to appear.
