Day 58 25/02/25 Tuesday Half feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water, 50% of all stated nutrients. Final pH 6.32 And 1.5L Day 61 28/02/25 Friday Using de-chlorinated tap water, calmag, and b52. They have all had another 1.5L. Today I have defoliated. I have also flipped them now! Min reason for this is I have to use the single tent to dry the 2 autos I have finished. So I have moved my flowering rainbow melon in with these for the week (hence the flip). Also going to see what 8weeks veg can yield Vs my usual 10-12weeks. Seeing as there is 3 in a 1.2m x 0.8m I have to utalise all my space 😅. Picture update 📸💚.
