Day 50 (Apr 23, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air:
Temp: 77F (Day) / 68F (Night)
Humidity: 57% (Day) / 50% (Night)
Water:
PPM: 600/650
Temp: 70F
PH: 5.5
- She is still stretching and bringing down ppm daily. I will switch to bloom nutrients once they slow down with uptake and don’t require as much nitrogen.
- Worked on top-off bucket system. Drilled a second drain in the top-off bucket so now each reservoir (two RDWC systems running in parallel sharing top-off bucket) will be connected directly instead of a tee fitting. Installed water line to float vales in the reservoir.
- Installed carbon filter.
- Added 7ml of AN Coco Grow A+B with 2L RO water in a water bottle, shook and poured into the reservoir.
Before Dosage:
PPM: 600
PH: 5.5
After Dosage:
PPM: 650

Day 51 (Apr 24, 2022)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Humidity: 54% (Day) / 50% (Night)
Water:
PPM: 620
Temp: 68F/74F
PH: 5.5
- Top off bucket leaking where it connects to float valve. Began leaking this afternoon due to a drip. Had to cut the plastic tarp under the reservoir (and tent) as the water was under the plastic (so much for that - getting a custom tarp made for the next run).
- Got the fitting for the top-off float valve tightened down even more with pliers but I may have to add some Teflon tape if it persists.
- Tucked some leaves, but didn’t train much today. All bud sites seem well placed at the moment.
- Water temp got up into mid-seventies because I had to move the portable AC to work on top-off.
- Removed HEPA filter off intake for better airflow. (Still using one filter at the tent intake).
- Started daily regimen of giving 8ml of AN Sensizym enzymes.
- She’s definitely has a wide look to her. Not much defoliation is needed, with the exception of a few light-blocking fan leaves.
- No nutrients today as PPM is over 600 still. Target is 650 when ppm drops to 600.

- Removed heater and installed dehumidifer - hooked to ink bird controller for lights out as the plants are transpiring more now as they begin to drink noticeably.
- Set humidity value on ink bird controller to be more in line with a hybrid veg/flower VPD.
- Added 8ml of AN Sensizym (daily enzymes) with 500ml RO water in a water bottle, shook, and poured into the reservoir.
- Added 7ml of AN Coco Grow A+B with 500ml RO water in a water bottle, shook and poured into the reservoir.
Before Dosage:
PPM: 590

Water:
PPM: 590/640
Temp: 69F

- Noticeable increase in smell in the tent today. It’s definitely Marathon and not the Outlier Z plants in the parallel two-site system.
- Noticeable trichome development starting.
- Spent a minute training the branches to ensure each has its own space to swell; most were already in a pretty good location.
- Added 8ml of AN Sensizym (daily enzymes) with 500ml RO water in a water bottle, shook, and poured into the reservoir.
- Added 7ml of AN Coco Grow A+B with 500ml RO water in a water bottle, shook, and pour into the reservoir.

Water:
PPM: 610/700
Temp: 69F
PH: 5.7
- Adding a few liters to the top off bucket daily now.
- Top off bucket has a tiny drip from time to time where it ports into the reservoir bucket. I'll need to disassemble, add some Teflon tape, and reinstall when I find the time.
- Keeping humidifiers full.
- Kicked down the fans a bit because I’m only able to reach about 47% RH with two humidifiers, but had no problem reaching 70% earlier in growth. I’m in a new residence so it could be something with the ambient air in room/outside as spring arrives in Ontario. I’ve also reconfigured the placement of the humidifiers when I installed the dehumidifier a few days ago which could be part of the issue.
- Upping nutrient concentration today a bit and see if she likes it. The tip burn was pretty minor from a couple of weeks ago.
- Added 8ml of AN Sensizym (daily enzymes) with 500ml RO water in water bottle, shook and poured into the reservoir.
- Added 10ml of AN Coco Grow A+B with 500ml RO water in a water bottle, shook, and poured into the reservoir.
Before Dosage:
PPM: 610
PH: 5.6

- Preflowers are really stacking up now.
- I’m still going to give grow nutrients for a bit longer as she is still taking the ppms but I’ll be switching to bloom nutrients and the first water change in the coming days.
- Took down 50ppm of nutrients.
- Added 8ml of AN Sensizym (daily enzymes) with 500ml RO water in water bottle, shook and poured into reservoir.
