[Blue Dream] Second batch

This week started with a flush to address persistently high runoff PPM (1400+) and unresolved calcium deficiency issues. The flush brought the runoff PPM down to 650, at which point I stopped and allowed the plant to rest for 24 hours. During this time, I also performed light defoliation to improve airflow and remove affected leaves. The following day, I gave a light feed at 50% strength to gently reintroduce nutrients and encourage recovery. While preparing the feed, I noticed an unusually high pH in my tap water, which raised suspicions about my pH pen's accuracy. After recalibrating the pen, I fed the plant according to the updated readings. I also completed the lollipopping process, significantly improving airflow, and performed some LST to level the canopy by bringing down the taller branches. Over the next 24-48 hours, I observed signs of some light nutrient deficiency, likely due to the flush and light feeding, as expected. For the next feeding, I plan to increase the nutrient strength to 75% and evaluate both plant health and runoff. Based on these observations, I'll decide whether to continue at 75% or increase to full strength (100%). Finally, I decided to upgrade my pH meter to an Apera PH60, as frequent recalibrations of my current pen (a yellow Vivosun) have proven too tedious and unreliable for consistent readings.
