Sour Stomper

11/3 Mixed up another gallon of distilled with ½ tsp Epsom salt, ¼ tsp recharge, and a spoonful of molasses. Added 4 drops of silica to get a PH of 6.4 and split that between both. Removed the first set of leaves way down at the bottom and a single large fan leaf from each. More LST work done to both. Light adjusted to 585 PAR / 38 DLI. 11/5 Both have kicked into high gear. Flower is well underway and there has been a lot of stretching the past few days. No changes to light height or intensity, but with the stretch the top of the canopy now measures around 620 PAR / 40 DLI. Also removed all LST wires since at this point I think both are formed as well as they can be and I’ll let them go from here. Went ahead and trimmed the bottom leaves on each to start the lollipop process. I for sure overdid it with the nutes when mixing up the coco to start, obvious signs of slight N toxicity. Because of that I have been holding off on a feeding, but now I think with all the growth it’s good to get some new nutes in there. I’m taking it a touch light though and top dressing in 2 Tbsp of Gaia Green all purpose and 2 Tbsp of Gaia Green power bloom to each. Finally, each got ¼ gallon of distilled with a spoonful of molasses and just enough silica to get to 6.4 PH. 11/6 It was a bit soon to remove LST wires as both had straightened out a bit. Went ahead and redid LST all around. Clipped a few leaves off each again that weren’t doing much at the bottom. It’s another hot day and temps inside the tent have hit low 80s. Everything still looks great though. 11/7 Everything looks good but pots are light again. Mixed up 1 gallon of distilled with a spoonful of molasses, ½ tsp Epsom salt, and about 10 drops of silica to get to 6.5 PH. Each got 1/2 gallon of that. Latest PAR reading at canopy height is 635 PAR / 41 DLI. 11/8 Trimmed a few leaves and larf sites from both. Latest PAR reading at canopy height is 650 PAR / 42 DLI. 11/9 Pots were getting light again and leaves were a little droopy. Mixed up 1 gallon of distilled with ½ tsp of recharge and got the PH to 6.6 using PH down. Readjusted light to about 675 PAR / 43.75 DLI. Starting to see signs of yellowing in a few lower leaves. I delayed my first feeding due to too much N in the starting mix but maybe I should have stuck to the plan. Either way Gaia Green was added 4 days ago so in a few days hopefully they get fresh nutes. Defoliated some lower leaves and bud sites. 11/10 Another leaf on L is just starting to turn yellow. I did go easy on the nutes when I added them 5 days ago, so I figured adding in some guano might be a quicker fix without risking burning anything. I top dressed in 1 Tbsp of seabird guano and ½ tsp of bat guano to each. Took a little over ¼ gallon of distilled water, added in a pinch of recharge and got the PH to 6.7. Split that between both just to kind of get the guano working.
