EasyBud RQS MarsTS1000

Day 43: 59-->64 cm, 510 PPFD, 33,1 DLI. I can't believe this day has come! She's happy as well. Stretching continues. More and more water is consumed per day. About 1,3 L/day in the end of the last week. Tomorrow next watering. Bought TDS meter and was very surprised by purity of my tap water. Only 60 ppm. I use bottled water for feeding and it has 150 ppm. Will continue using it since the plant responds well, and at least it has a chart of minerals. Day 44: 64-->69 cm, 540 PPFD, 35 DLI. Feeding with pH 6.7 5L of 830 ppm 10,5-10-18 including just a bit of Epsom Salt (27 ppm Mg and 35 ppm S). Runoff about 18%, pH 6.3, 900 ppm. Noticed that new growth is a bit pale. Probably 830 ppm is not enough at this stage. Will give 900-950 ppm next feeding. Trying to keep the light schedule on its max, but need to be careful this time. Day 45: 69-->74 cm, 510 PPFD, 33 DLI. In the morning reduced light intensity to 510 PPFD, should be just fine for the early flowering stage. Removed the shelf and put the pot on the floor. Couldn’t raise the lamp any higher. Also made a light trap for the air intake. Hopefully it will keep the closet dark when the light is off. She was looking a bit droopy in the evening. Judging by the weight of the pot she's got some water left for one day or so. Reduced light to 500 PPFD in the evening, because she was tired. Tested the light trap with phone camera when the lights were off. It's not as sensitive as I wish but no light leak noticed. Day 46: 74-->76 cm, 500 PPFD, 32.5 DLI. Only 2 cm of stretching because she was a little bit dehydrated, had to water 1L pH 6.7, 900 ppm 3 hours before the lights go off. Keeping the light intensity below 540 PPFD @18hrs. Next week will try to go 540 and higher. No light stress noticed at the moment. I made a terrible discovery today: thought Voodoo Juice had some NPK and counted it as 2-1-4 as was mentioned on one site, as well as Bud Candy had 0-0-2. Never trust third party stores again! They can put wrong info in description. Actually Voodoo Juice has literally no ppm, and BudCandy has only 0,5% Mg (29 total ppm per 1 ml/l). Day 47: 76-->80 cm, 510 PPFD, 33.1 DLI. Watered 5L pH 6.7, 900 ppm. Runoff 800 ml (16%), pH 6.2-6.3, 866 ppm. If she responds well to 900 ppm, I will increase it to 950 next week. Recipe: PH Perfect Micro 3 ml/l, Bloom 3,7 ml/l, T.A. Calcium Magnesium 0,5 ml/l, Bud Candy 2ml/l, Epsom Salt 18g/100ml concentrate 1,6 ml/l. Recalculated NPK 10-12-14,8 (104-51-122 ppm). So sad I don't have a spectrophotometer to check each component as in the good old days. She drinks 1.4 l/day at the moment. I wonder when she stops stretching. 4 cm per day is a bit too much I think. Day 48: 80-->84, 540 PPFD, 35.1 DLI. I’m worried about too much stretching. Decided to give more light, raised intensity to 540 PPFD. Dimmer at about 70%, 30 cm from the canopy. Day 49: 84-->76, 600 PPFD, 39 DLI. Had to trim few side branches and few fan leaves that were touching the wall and receiving too little light. With help of my growmies decided to bend the terminal bud and increase light to 600 PPFD. My plan is to go 800 PPFD in two days. That should help with stretching. Gonna continue trimming and defoliating slowly to give more space to the main buds. It's too bushy at the moment. In the evening the temp reached 30 degrees! The ballast should be placed somewhere outside. Applied 1L pH 6.7, 800 ppm.
