Zkitzz in Self Watering AC Infinity pots (Coco)

TL:DR. I regret using plant clips to bend branches. Several broken branches to show for it. I also completely failed at training these as a “quadline”…so they’re topped once and growing naturallly from there. Wow have they grown…..fan leaves are over 8 inches long and the plants are over a foot tall even after topping. These are growing much faster in coco than soil. Added two gallons of nutrient solution to the reservoirs using RO water and the modified Lucas Formula for coco (Micro and Bloom nutrients plus CalMag). So far the plants are doing well without any top feeding. I’m frustrated by my poor plant training. These seedlings grew too tall for doing the LST that I had hoped to accomplish, so I’m using branch clips. Ive broken two branches so far attempting to use these too, so I’m not sold on them. 🤬🤬🤬. I update my journal daily, so updates will be added below this week. DAILY UPDATES: SUNDAY MONDAY. Another branch snapped under the pressure of the branch clips. Removing those from the rest of the branches. I don’t recommend these 90 degree bends. Considering going 12/12 lighting next week to start flowering. TUESDAY: Topped off 3 feeding reservoirs with 2 gallons of nutrients WEDNESDAY: no work done. Wow have I failed at plant training! . They grew fast and got away from me. So I won’t be growing out a quadline. THURSDAY: topped off nutrients with 2.5 gallons. They’re getting thirstier. I started to blend tap water with RO water now 50/50. Due to chloramines and chlorine in my tap water, I add aquarium drops to neutralize what I can. My seedlings and young plants don’t like my tap water. Increased speed of oscillating fans to full speed after observing moisture between leaves. Removed lower leaves and branches to provide more room for airflow under the canopy. Removed lower branches that will never reach high enough to get enough light. Height is 18” now…..almost ready to flip to flower. Roots are starting to grow out of the bottom of the fabric pots and into the wicks. I will need to lift pots daily to prevent the pots from becoming attached to the wicks. FRIDAY
