Things went very smoothly. Had some beautiful and healthy new growth.
Watered twice this week until it dried out. ~1.4 EC and 700ppm.
Turned light intensity up to 50% and the plants seem to love it.
Lowered pH to ~6.3 and might aim a bit lower to compare plant reaction to it.
Did some noticeable LST using the net. I dont tie branches because its annoying, takes a lot of time and im pretty sure i would break them. I would rather use the elasticity of the net to bend them every day. Most of them already have the main cola shaped like a banana.
I topped the forbidden cherry by mistake while bending it from too far down (top left in 1st picture) but it was looking the healthiest and it has already grown 4 beautiful branches to take the main cola's place and it doesnt seem to mind it at all. Not the strain i was planning to top during this grow, but things change and the outcome might actually be better.
Removed some of the bottom leaves that had previous light burn or were hanging on the soil making watering difficult. It was time for some minor defoliation anyway.
Potential issues:
I noticed some slight yellowing on the Hawaii in the coco mix so i added ~0.5 ml/L cal-mag for prevention. However will feed it separately from now on to correct whatever deficiencies it might develop. 75% Coco is proving to have more challenges than the same strain in light mix. It is a week younger though, so we will see how it evolves.
The Northern lights XXL is quite slow and still doesnt look great but it has grown a bit and its the youngest in that tent so gonna be patient with it and see how it evolves further.
Had slight beginning of N toxicity last week, 2 ml/L on day 10-ish was indeed too much but new growth is healthy and that was corrected before it took a bad turn. Now its fine.
A tiny bit of wind burn on the plant closest to the fans but its nothing significant. Already swapped some pots around, will swap the top right one as well if necessary.
Watering straight from a 10L container is proving to be quite the challenge with the net. Hope it gets easier as they grow taller.
