Week #5-Nov 23 to Nov 29
11/24-Plant finished first 4 weeks in great shape. LST has left the canopy getting more even. First signs of white pistils (albeit a just a few) so I started bloom nutes mix today. The plants appeared to be just slightly more yellowish than I like at the end of veg. Original bloom mix was 6.0 ph/780 ppm but I added diluted it a bit to 6/660 just to ease the plant into it. Will monitor.
11/26-Leaves seemed a bit more yellowish than I'd like so I did a little mini-flush with ph balanced water with full dose of Cal Mag to see if I can get a bit more green. Ppm dropped to around 550 ppm. Also did some light LST and trimming. Canopy has got a nice shape to it as the plant enters pre-flower stage.
11/27-Increased nute load slightly to 820 ppm. Will monitor.
11/29-End of solid week. Plant is looking very healthy and additional Cal Mag helped get rid of yellowish colort. Plant is up to 12 inches tall now. Very even canopy with pre-flower happening. Runoffs were consistently below inputs buy 150-200 ppm so I'm increasing the load at start of week #6. At this halfway point everything is pointing toward something good.
