Day 36-42
Runtz Muffin and I started the week as planned with cutting her daytime by 90 minutes on day 36 and another 90 minutes on day 37.
I wanted to start flowering because Runtz Muffin is supposed to have a heavy stretch, getting to 1,5 m indoor height with 4 weeks of veg.
But on day 38 I got insecure and rather wanted to have one more week of veg than having regrets afterwards.
So in conclusion, I decided to back out of flower until week 7 starts.
I changed the light schedule to 20/4 to stop flowering and reduced it to 19/5 on day 39 and 18/6 on day 40.
On day 39 I did a big defoliation and started training her with ties before she gets to the Scrog net.
She bounced back really strong with thick, healthy leaves.
She had also build up a massive amount of roots, filling most of the bucket already.
I didn't take a picture, but I spotted some unwanted pistils on day 40 which kind of surprised me since she only had 2 shorter days.
In order to get more growth out of her before she starts to stop growing, I increased the light intensity from ~600 to ~700 PPFD and accordingly adapted her nutrients to ~ 950 ppm (including H2O2, CalMag and Silicate).
On day 42 I noticed some burnt leave tips and a slight brightening of her newest growth, so I decided to refill with only water until she's back down to 800 ppm. I won't adjust anything else though, because it is pretty likely that this is caused by her going into bloom (definitely the brightening) and needing different ratios.
All in all a chaotic week with as good growth, as you can expect with a dazed plant.
Week 7 will be started with reducing light to 16/8, then 14/10 and finally 12/12.
Brother Grower, congratulations on your beautiful work.
I am interested in this line of Tripart Terra Aquatica because it is apparently one of the few here that are not scarce.
I am focusing on DWC and RDWC at the moment.
I invite you to help us mutually.
I will follow your progress closely.
I am a bit busy but I will start creating my diaries.
Are you using a chiller?
Thanks for the example....
@Yhanus, hello and thanks a lot! I will gladly help as much as I can. No, I am not using a chiller, the room of the tent stays at ~18°C and the tent itself is heated with a temperature controlled fan heater to the desired temps. Since only the air is heated, it warms up the plant without radiating heat, so that the bucket etc stay cool.
