Zkitzz in Self Watering AC Infinity pots (Coco)

TUESDAY: Plants are up to 23” tall, so I need to flip now due to space issues. Flipping to a 12/12 light schedule 7am-7pm. Will adjust dimmers to achieve target Daily Light Integral at 12 hours per day. I’m turning the LED off today, so they will get a full 24 hours of darkness to kick this flowering period off. Self watering pots are still doing great with all nutrients delivered via the reservoir and wicks. I’m adding at least .5 gallons to each reservoir daily. Leaves look very healthy for self feeding….better than when I top-feed. My basil plants in the first picture are growing quickly too… WEDNESDAY: plants are now up to 24”, so I raised lights and adjusted dimmer to target 25 Daily Light Integral. Added a tower fan for more air movement below the canopy. Fed them 1.25 gallons of nutrient solution. I have room for 15 inches of growth up to 38”. If they exceed that, I’ll have to order an 8’ tall gorilla grow tent to save the grow. I’d rather keep my current tent, but it’s only 6’ tall. The tent is getting crowded with plant growth, fans and basil plants. Roots are growing into the wicks of the feeding reservoir. Lifted each plant to break roots off wicks. Definitely seeing air pruning of the roots….one of the benefits of these fabric pots. Still impressed with the simplicity of the bottom feeding reservoirs. FRIDAY: fed .7 gallons to each plant reservoir. Grew another inch to 25” or even taller. I’m really worried about my expected stretch with flowering. SATURDAY: grew another inch to 26” today. topped off reservoirs….estimate at .7 gallons per reservoir. Forgot to add CalMag to RO water today. Raised lamps 4 inches…it’s near the top of the tent now. Hoping for little flower stretch. Later, I added 1.5ml of CalMag to each reservoir to fix mistake. SUNDAY: added 1.1 gallons to the three reservoirs. Didn’t forget the CalMag today either. I trimmed a few more lower branches that wouldn’t ever see the top of the canopy since I don’t like to process larf. I removed the extra wicks I had added from the watering bases so that I’m not directing as much water into the root zone. Busy morning……. I’ve been on 12/12 lighting since Tuesday and now waiting for budlets to form. MONDAY: up to 27” today. I topped off with 1 gallon of nutrient solution. TUESDAY: Start of flowering week #2
