Slurricane #7 in autopots

1/2 Day 30 of veg. Almost right on schedule I’m starting to see yellow tips on some leaves. I’ve learned now that this is most likely rising EC levels from the autopot system. While this is definitely not desirable, it doesn’t seem to hold the plants back at all. They obviously need to adjust to the rising levels, and fortunately weed can take an awful lot before there’s any real danger. Also I’ve noticed an uptick in curling leaf edges. I knew humidity was low and VPD was getting a bit high so I reconfigured my room for an additional humidifier. This is keeping the VPD around a much better 1.0-1.1. 1/3 Day 31 of veg. Did a little bit more defoliation of a couple leaves here and there and some side branches that were starting to grow. Light adjusted to 400 PAR / 25.9 DLI. 1/7 Day 35 of veg. Big defoliation day. I wasn’t able to get in the tent the last few days and growth has exploded, leading to a big mass of leaves. I thinned out the leaves, focusing mostly on leaves that were stacked up on themselves, and cut down most side branches. The flip to flower has to be soon, I can’t let them get too much taller or I risk growing into the lights. Lights adjusted to 440 PAR / 28.5 DLI 1/8 Day 36 of veg. All 4 are perky and look much happier after their haircut. I turned on the lower oscillating fan for more airflow coming from the floor now that no leaves are in danger of getting sucked into it. So, with all 4 looking happy and their size pretty much where it needs to be I adjusted the light schedule to 12/12, making tomorrow day 1 of flower.
