12/26 Day 23 of veg. I did a function test today of the autopots to make sure they are calling for water appropriately. I came across the same issue I had last run though, with the pots closest to the door staying full the entire time. I originally thought this was a valve issue but to get a repeat with a different valve in the same spot didn’t make much sense. I looked around my room and found some things to shove under the pots to get them closer to level and now it’s much closer to operating properly. I never thought about the pots really needing to be level before and this obviously has a dramatic effect on the plants so I’m glad I found and fixed it.
12/28 Day 25 of veg. They have finally grown up enough to start some training. Each was topped and the lowest node was trimmed off, leaving 4 nodes per plant for 8 tops per plant.
12/29 Day 26 of veg. I did some light defoliation to uncover the tops and to get some better airflow.
12/31 Day 28 of veg. I just got in a pack of LST clips and decided to try them out with all 4. I also defoliated some of the large fan leaves and ensured no leaves were stacking on each other. Light adjusted to 21.4 DLI / 330 PAR.
