Durban Poison Dutch Passion Photoperiod

Week 8, and now we're at the first week of flower! I left town back at the beginning of week 7, trusting the tent and all its occupants to the Blumat Tropf system in place with 11g of water/feed all set up. As I was leaving, I switched to 12/12 on my way out the door (literally) knowing that waiting any longer would turn the stretch into a serious pain in the ass. ...It all worked and when I made it home middle of week 8, everything was still green and growing. Maybe too well. The tent was in chaos, with the Tomato plants stretching a good 1.5' while I was gone and the Durbans doubling their size. The reservoir was empty, and the system was dry, so time for a reset. I did pull out all the tomato and pepper plants to harden them off for outside. I had to pull apart the Blumat system to clean it since it went dry and also refill and reset the carrots for the system. In the meantime, the tent is back to 2 occupants, both doing well. The Ca/Mg issue with one of the plants is subsiding with some attention to added and some foliar feeding. I've re-adjusted the tie-downs and brought down any of the really tall colas. The feed is still 3.75g per gallon MaxiBloom plus 5ml of Ca/Mg. I'm pH'ing downwards since I've had some advice that in Promix HP, I'm basically running a hydro operation. I now start it at 5.9pH and as it rises, I adjust downwards again.
