P2 & P3 - ILGM Blue Dream 4x4 tent grow

Wednesday, Oct 18 (Day 50) - FIRST DAY OF FLOWER! I did a whole lot of defoliation to both plants. I used LST clips on Plant 3 to try to lower the canopy a bit to better match Plant 2. I've also angled the light a bit so it's 16 inches above both plants. After defoliating, Plant 3 looks much stronger than Plant 2. I used the remaining of my veg nutrient solution to flood-fertigate each plant at about 1200, probably 2-3 gallons to each plant. I scrubbed and soaked pumps and water heater, etc., with H2O2. Cleaned big tub reservoir. In the big tub reservoir, I made 24 gallons of 'Bud Set' nutrient solution as detailed in Jack's Nutrients nutrition schedule for this first week of flower. I'm using the 10-30-20 Bloom then after about a week I'll switch back to 15-5-20. (The nutrition schedule says to continue with 15-5-20 until about the last week of flower, when 7-15-30 Finish is used. then 4-7 day flush with clear water then harvest.) This will be my last batch with RapidStart, too. I only had 15 mL left; it's expensive! 1. 24 gallons tap water (EC 0.420) 2. 60 mL Armor Si (then wait at least an hour) 3. 136 grams Jack's Nutrients 10-30-20 and 24 grams Epsom salt (I ended up needing about double this to get the target EC...) 4. 120 mL General Hydroponics Diamond Nectar. 5. 3/4 teaspoon Yucca ..... Check and adjust EC to goal of 1.9 + tap = 2.320. Actual result: ~2.8 in the reservoir so I'll ensure to dilute with tap water every time I refill the 5-gallon reservoir until it's ~2.32 ..... Adjust pH to 5.8-6.2. Actual result: _6.0_ 6. 15 mL RapidStart (All gone!) 7. 60 mL H2O2 I changed my light timer from 18/6 (off from 0100-0700) to 12/12 (off from 1900-0700.) ----- Thursday, Oct 19 (Day 51) - the plants seem to be recovering from the defoliation. I'm trying to LST the canopy to keep it as flat as possible. ----- Friday, Oct 20 (Day 52) - I've been LST-clipping Plant 3 to try to even out the canopy with Plant 2, with some success, but Plant 3 just seems so much more vigorous that I decided to raise up Plant 2 using drain trays I hadn't been using. The canopy is now even! I noticed Plant 3 had some new leaves with yellow edges/tips. I asked a grow question about it and seems to be light burn (appreciate the feedback as always!) I'll raise the light a bit in the morning, when out of the dark period. ----- Saturday, Oct 21 (Day 53) - out of town but made sure nutrient reservoir was full before I left. ----- Sunday, Oct 22 (Day 54) - they seem to be doing well from what I can tell. Moving the lights farther away seems to have stopped the light-burn/yellow tips. ----- Monday, Oct 23 (Day 55) - I'm eager to see and smell flower development but nothing so far... ----- Tuesday, Oct 24 (Day 56) - Just a day. ----- END OF 8TH WEEK FROM SEED
