Mac N Jack Autopot

8/16 Day 36 from sprout. I topped the last remaining branch and did some general defoliation towards the base. I’ve also decided to make a change in nutrients away from Jack’s to the GH Flora trio. After finishing my third grow with the Jack’s 20-10-20 Peat Lite and getting some “testing” done, I’ve seen similarities whose only common thread is the nutes. Consistent herms and a lack of general flavor and terps was the worst of it. As a result I’m switching course here before I hit flower in hopes of fixing the issues I’ve been seeing. 8/18 Day 38 from sprout. There’s enough mass now to at least debate flipping to flower. I currently have 16 tops, but in order to top again all around I’ll need to veg for awhile longer. Considering Ethos says to send this cultivar into flower earlier than most maybe going for more tops is a bad idea. It feels like flipping now or soon would result in similar growth to the Fanta Sea I just did, and while that grow was fine, I didn’t have a very even canopy. I think I’m siding with flipping within the next few days for now, so I’ll revisit soon. 8/19 Day 39 from sprout. I saw a big uptick in growth over just 24 hours. Kind of shocked me honestly. So I topped the middle 4 tops to bring them down more in line with all the other tops. I’ll allow at least 1 day for recovery before flipping to flower now. I also emptied and cleaned out my reservoir and am now 100% in on the Flora Trio recipe, with a target EC of 1.2. 8/20 Day 40 from sprout. It’s only been one day since topping but she looks perky and happy. I’m gonna switch the lights to 12/12 now so tomorrow will be the first day of flower. Adjusted the light to 430 PAR / 18.6 DLI.
