Strawberry Pie

I'm 23 days into this auto grow so I topped the girls at the 3rd node even though the 6th node had only just started forming. I want to get one more topping in so I can manifold them but this strain takes 8 - 9 weeks to start flowering, so I'm a bit pressed on time. I think it will work out, though. Day 28: Nute burn or K deficiency showed up within a day of topping. I reduced the EC at the same nute ratios but added a small amount of extra K supplement too. A bit of damage done but they seem stable now. I also transferred the plants to their final air-pots and reconnected the auto-drip and runoff recirculation system. Feeding 3 times a day for 5 minutes each with a substantial amount of runoff to keep salts from accumulating in the coco. The air-pots drain exceptionally well and let a lot of oxygen in, so I feed heavily each time to flush a bit. Hoping to nip the tips and dying leaves in the bud so to speak ;-)
