Day 22 (04/12/2022) - Begin Week 3 of Veg
Cal/Mag:
I gave a lite dose (100 ml) to counter the apparent calcium deficiency.
Calcium Nitrate:
To help with yellowing leaves, I gave them Nitrogen and Calcium via Calcium Nitrate.
Dose: 0.150 EC (approx 75 ppm)
AutoPots:
My guess is that the bottom-up feeding hasn't met with the roots yet.
VPD:
VPD is improved since adding the second humidifier.
I adjusted them to reach for 65%, since 60% was barely getting the tent to maintain 54% RH
If I maintain a leaf temperature around 75ºF, I need between 64 - 66% RH.
DLI:
Maintain around 35 DLI until flower.
Although, I am likely to start edging up soon.
There are still two more weeks until the flip.

Day 23 (04/13/22)
Biggest News of the Day:
It was "Haircut Day" in the grow tent (see photos). Yep, I hacked away at Day 23. I watched a Bill Ward video and he suggested doing this to give the undergrowth some light. I might have done this a week early. We'll see.
Feed & Treat:
Fed them their normal mix (Jack's, etc) but added in some biostimulants:
Stout MSA - mono-sicilic acid
PeptisideSP - Peptides and Amino Acids
Super Boost - Just using this stuff up. Not concentrated enough for the price
Mr. Fulvic - Fulvic Acid
Recharge - Microbial Help
New Product: Prime Superior Drench - https://primesuperior.com/
I recently purchased the concentrated version of a product called "Prime Superior Drench." It is a proprietary mix that introduces the natural symbiotic fungus "Beauveria bassiana" into the plant.
Here's the sales pitch:
The fungus is isolated from plants, grows with your plants, and brings multiple benefits to them. This can include many important properties that matter to you, including increases in yield, increases in quality, and increases in photosynthesis and metabolism. With cannabis plants, Prime Superior products have been shown to increase the levels of cannabinoids and terpenes, as well as yields. With produce, such as strawberries and tomatoes, we have seen higher Brix scores.

Day 24 (04/14/22)
After the haircut, yesterday they looked great. 3 of 5 were praying to the heavens.
There is some leaf-tip burn. I forgot to account for the extra nutrients in the PeptideSP.
VPD is back in check - right in the "perfect" zone

Day 25 (04/15/22)
Day 25 -- E.C. Crisis
* Irie #5 (red bucket) kept looking worse and worse overnight.
* I measured the E.C. & pH and discovered the E.C. was in the Stratosphere at 5.56 (2780 PPM)
* One gallon at a time, I poured 2 gallons of R.O. water through the Coco
* It's now down to high, but reasonable, 2.1 EC (1050 ppm) and pH is 6.21
* The plan is to lower new inputs to 1.8 with a little extra Calcium to make up for flush losses
* I clipped the ugly bits off. Hopefully, a crisis was averted
--------------------------------------------------------
Day 27 (04/17/22)
The plants are starting to look healthy again.
I made a mixture of Calcium (low ppm) to help with Coco calcium issues.
--------------------------------------------------------
Day 28 (04/18/22)
Today they got a light dose of Recharge and Ca
I also gave them a second haircut
Morning Dew?
Top notch work my guy! On a scale of
1-10 it’s an 11! Wicked wicked.
Very distinct bud structure on this.
The Machine had a somewhat similar structure but the fade and better density
Suggests Morning Dew.
Final answer. 😋
