Topped 1-3 at node 5, #4 is still catching up. The Ph drifts about .3 per day. 5-10 drops of GH Ph down daily brings it to 5.5. No signs of plant stress, very green and healthy. Some fungus gnats from the coco. The sticky yellow fly traps on Amazon work well, but be careful when the plants are very small - their leaves can stick to them and then tear.
I installed a trellis net, not sure I'm doing things right with it, waiting for the plants to grow up to it - will veg until the screen is full. So far I'm really loving the autopots.
@Gejlord, Yes! You're absolutely right. I made the mistake of initially underfeeding them, and then over-corrected and overfed and burned them. Yield/growth has been substantially affected because of that. On the plus side I know what PPM I should be targeting and dialed it in on the other grow I have going right now.
Hell yes on flipping to flower. On my Apex R1s I've been feeding at 1700-1800 EC in coco and they still seem hungry. Seeing the first trichomes! Looking forward to how your grow turns out!
I have definitely noticed that Apex R1 seems to be lighter in general on its leaves. Keep an eye on pH as well, I had a pH problem early on that I ironed out but am still dealing with the consequences.
@ThaDollaGenerale, Thanks! After the dry and cure all of mine smell like pine trees. I love it and I'm very pleased with the overall result. I saw you chopped yours too - I'm eager to hear what the final product is like!
