Mack&Crack, Apollo BC an Blue Moby

Light switched and first serious defoliation made. 4 ml. I removed 40 percent of the foliage and all the small branches below 1/3 of the bush, which according to the experience of the professional growers who consulted me is a pretty modest defoliation. I also removed the humidifier and hung up the filter. Leds 90 % powered and 40 cm away as my goal was to prevent overstretching (during preflower size doubling) through pushing plants down with light. You may also notice my drainage system. It is very important to drain 20-30 percent of the solution after watering to prevent the formation of salts in the substrate. By pouring a 1300 ppm solution I was getting 2500 and even 3200 ppm. These are considered very high rates, although I am following AN's instructions completely and the plants look great, the foliage is healthy green. As AN support team assured me, these values are within the normal range and the main thing is to have water runoff and frequent watering.
