1 Wednesday- Flipped to 12/12 lighting last night after realizing that the SCROG screen is likely too full. Now I have to manage 3 weeks of stretch. Raised the net slightly. Now we wait. Still feeding all nutrients through the water in the reservoir, so no top feeding is taking place. Added RO water and nutrients.
2 Thursday: Checked reservoirs and observed that nutrient levels have fallen, PPM has increased and ph has increased. This is an indication that the plant is drinking more than it is eating, so I need to add more reverse osmosis water to lower the EC. See attached feeding chart that I use as my reference. Defoliated. Fed one gallon RO, 6ml of Micro per g. Added .5-.7ml ph down to each reservoir to achieve final reservoir ph at 6.0.
3 Friday: added one gallon of RO water among the three reservoirs. No need to adjust any ph levels. Added 6ml of micro to reservoir number one.
4 Saturday: added one gallon of RO water. Adjusted ph in reservoirs with 0.5ml of ph down in each reservoir. Added micro, bloom and CalMag.
5 Sunday: added one gallon of nutrient water. No ph adjustment needed today. Drinking 1/3 gallon per day each. Performed a small defoliation again to allow light to hit bud sites in the canopy.
6 Monday: Replaced nutrients….3 gallons of fresh nutrients mixed up. This time is used 5ml/g of Flora series Micro, Grow and Bloom and KoolBloom. I used 4ml/g of Terpinator and 2ml/g of CalMag. Had to use RO water to dilute to ppm below 900.
7. Tuesday added ph down to each reservoir and topped off with one gallon of ro water. Plants are now drinking or evaporating 1/3 gallon per day each.
