initial values recorded above [EC was 818]; added 3 gallons water and 4 gallons of feed (flower week 1), will enter a flowering light schedule within the next week the frame on the middle clone is subpar, the two on the right were soil transplants and are lagging behind

initial values recorded above; water change next week, added 2 gallons of feed (flower week 2) and 5 mL pH down with a top off of the system they were flipped on 1/7 and are running a shortened day cycle (something I have done with this cultivar before and she is receptive to it)

added 2 gallons of feed (flower week 3) and 5 mL pH down; after mixing pH = 6.77, PPM = 781, EC = 1676 gentle defoliation done on lower limbs once the stretch plateaued, not worried about having a perfect canopy with this cultivar as the internodal spacing itself ensures ample lighting to middles and lowers

no amending the solution, just topped off with ~5 gallons of water did a defoliation today, which will be the last time I touch the girls before cutting down timeline is approximately half of a week to a week with the current solution, at which point I'll begin my flush routine hoping to last around 10 days.

on 6/28 I flushed the solution and replaced with water amended with only Heavy 16 Finish per instructions and 5ml pH down; have been monitoring day versus night water metrics, intend to swap solution to a water only flush during night on 3/4 and again on 3/6, then harvest at night on 3/7 must say that this cultivar I am only familiar with in soil mediums, some differences include (1) the stretch observed during this hydro grow certainly caught me off guard and (2) the terpene profile is distinctly more sweet/runtz-like whereas in soil this cut comes out like minced garlic "8 and Wait" methodology takes a first principles approach to flowering photoperiod cannabis and relies on the assumption that the fastest delivery of an appropriate DLI without materially stressing the plant leads to the quickest flowering time possible within the domain of a specific genotype. The natural implementation of this methodology is to minimize daylight hours while delivering the target DLI. This is more of a framework than a methodology per say. *all pictures this week taken flower day 49 or 51
