12/18 Day 15 of veg. Everything looks good. Environment is in great shape, lights are good, no signs of issues.
12/19 Day 16 of veg. Pots are getting light again so I’ll hit the back 2 with 2 gallons each of my mid veg water mix. Initial runoff EC was 1.9, but after the full 2 gallons ran through runoff was 1.4.
12/20 Day 17 of veg. The front 2 pots got the same 2 gallons of water as the back 2 did yesterday. Light adjusted to 250 PAR / 16.2 DLI
12/23 Day 20 of veg. It’s finally time to get the autopots turned on. First, each pot gets hand watered with nutrient water until runoff EC is around 1.5. Now that the pots are freshly flushed with nutrient water the reservoir gets filled and the valves all get turned on. I expect tomorrow will bring droopy leaves while they adjust to the new watering situation, but after that I anticipate explosive growth.
12/24 Day 21 of veg. All plants look perky and happy today. I am running the humidifier a little lower now to maintain a low to mid 50s RH and a temp around 74f. Light adjusted to 265 PAR / 17.1 DLI.
@Dmars,
I’ve got 8 jelly breath clones that I’m going to run as a big group in the future. When it come close to finishing, I’ll flush 4 and continue to feed 4 and see which mature first 😸💁♂️🤷♂️ fuck knows what it’ll prove cos everyone’s set up and environment is different 🤦♂️
@PersonalSmok3s, I can't really figure out a good way to take pics of trichomes, but looking with my loupe I'd say both are around 75% cloudy, 20% clear, and a very small 5% amber. I think 1 or maybe 2 more weeks max would be the best finish time considering. Granted if I started flushing earlier I'd be closer to chop time, which probably would have been better for keeping the PM at bay since it's only now starting to flare up again. But lots of reputable people think flushing makes no difference anyways, so this is more like splitting the difference between both schools of thought.
@PapaNugs, The best way I can describe it so far is something like sweet berries. Really looking forward to how it evolves throughout the grow, I'm digging it.
