Jet Puft - The Menthol Vol. 2 - RDWC #1

ATLien415 amended the solution with 4 gallons of Heavy 16 Veg. Week 2 transplanted from aeroponic cloner after a Heavy 16 Foliar application

ATLien415 did not amend the solution this week, the plants are mostly acclimating to their newfound freedom in the RDWC flowering sites the middle plant had some issues this week while I was away, with a gate valve getting blocked/middle plant being O2 lean/a few gallons on the floor, the middle clone was substantially more rooted than the other two whereas they're mostly even now still some sheen from the foliar in the aerocloner

ATLien415 this tent is hopefully going to run concurrently with another Jet Puft diary, for the culture with the extra time I have been able to work the middle plant with clips and top the two edge plants while working them towards the back of the tent - should be good canopy for the 2x4 footprint with the 3 girls; I am enjoying training the girls, something I have let fall out of my routine as I view it as wholly unneeded and more of a pleasure of the art (IME, I have never gotten a better frame training than by stretching intently into flower when I consider the sunk time) upon checking the water, the water is still clean and within spec so I am holding off on the swap for now but I am pushing my normal limits with a solution CO2 will likely be low until Eternity Cup 2025 crop is pulled down

ATLien415 a few toppings and some LST into the netting has left me with 3 squares of the netting NOT filled with a branch; overall I am happy with the mixture of time in veg and the canopy going into flower 6.6 pH in, added 4 mL pH down and used 4 gallons of Heavy 15 Flower Week 1 per above to amend the solution lights were amped up to 60% from 20% power and the spectrum was changed to a flowering spectrum 👉👉👉LIGHTS HAVE NOT BEEN FLIPPED TO FLOWER YET 👈👈👈 @RickSanchez and I will both be flipping these girls on 3/30 to run the diaries concurrently (his diary is organic soil with what I presume is a 12/12 photoperiod; my diary will be non-organic salts, rdwc hydro, and an 8 hour photoperiod starting day one of flower)

ATLien415 added 3 gallons of Heavy 16 flower Week 2 per above and 3 mL pH down 5 gallons of water required to replinish system

ATLien415 I did not add any nutrients into the solution this week as I have a new water filter on the way and will be doing a clean swap soon. I did add trace amounts of multiple Grease additives that I will be using in the future. Notably, no ferments from them but more their targeted/trace additives. The exact mix to be shared soon. 5 gallons of water required to replinish system

ATLien415 solution was clean, cool, clear and did not smell off - I'm going to let it ride until next week; replenished with some silica amended water as that just arrived in the post pre-flower should be done on 4/20 but the plants haven't stretched any the past few days, still not confident enough to move defoliation up...the plants will get a nice heavy defoliation on 4/20 might see some burning by next week, solution was a little hot when I got to it this morning

ATLien415 defoliated on 4/20; solution was swapped 4/22 as I could no longer keep up with the swings; added 4 mL silica, 12g flower, then 12 g base...and 4 ml pH down these girls will be lollipopped in ~3 week and harvested near EOM May

ATLien415 the girls are coming along fine, they did get a slight burn from the other week as expected but that is what I get for running the solution so long they will be lollipopped mid-month and harvested EOM

ATLien415 full solution swap with 7 gallons of full strength Kosher blend, some HOCL, and my Grease suite these girls got nano-sulfurs earlier this week to make that gassy profile really pop like a pro current outlook is to begin a flushing routine next week, flush for approximately 2 weeks, then harvest end of the month

ATLien415 they were lollipopped (really just a gently defoliation this time) on 5/15 added 4 gallons of silica'd water, 20 mL Bud A + 20 mL Bud B, Bloom Grease, Alpha Grease, and Drip Flow these girls will be pulled at end of month regardless, looking to start a flushing routine next week...the system does not show any signs of buildup, water is clear and odorless, and so forth

ATLien415 4 mL silica, a dash of HOCl, and 6 gallons of Heavy 16 Flush turned the lights down to 20% power and changed the photoperiod to 12/12 by adding 3 hours today and one hour tomorrow morning, to which she should be adjusted by harvest

ATLien415 these girls were chopped 5/27 and will be done drying 6/6; the harvest week will be added then and include dried pictures this amounted to a 58 day flowering period for this cut with this photoperiod and lighting; for a 'old school' 15% amber, one would be looking at day 60 or 61 the average trichome size appears to be smaller the aeroponic run of the exact same genetic cut, if you rupture any heads though the scent is exactly the same - high grade fuel, pine, mint, candy, fumes, and more raw petrol on the end....

ATLien415 just noting that the grams per watt calculation is way off, as I run shortened photoperiods and have overcalculated wattages for the express purpose of running them on 20%, 40%, and so forth
