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

ATLien415 full system clean lights at 20% transplanted 4/12 8 gallons of water into the system, added 12 grams each of Base & Grow, as well as trace amounts of Grease additives

ATLien415 4/14 swapped solution, amended water with Kosher Nutrients Flowering blend... approximately half strength of recommended for ~15 grams of each part with 5 mL Silica and trace amounts of Grease additives plants were flipped 4/15

ATLien415 no change this week solution swap next week defoliation upcoming ~5/7 lights will turn up after the post-preflower defoliation

ATLien415 girls are coming along great, stretching strongly; will have my work cut out for me when I defoliate on 5/7

ATLien415 did post-preflower defoliation on 5/7 added 20 ml Heavy 16 Bud A + B, some HOCL, and 15 mL Heavy 16 Finish; will be swapping the solution next week so only touching it up this week these girls got a nano-sulfur isolate given to them this week to really bring the gassy profile to the next level/give the plant what it actually needs to knock that profile out of the park

ATLien415 added Drip Flow, my Grease blend, and turned the lights to 60% these girls will get lollipopped at the end of the month

ATLien415 added 4 mL silica and 6 grams of each Base + Flower to amend the solution already in the system seeing the effects of some pH swings while I have not tending closely to the tents, mostly the week prior to last; they are fine though

ATLien415 received Kosher line and my suite of Grease products; these girls are fully displaying the burn I had mentioned and predicted earlier...as such, the defoliation planned is now pushed back a week and the solution got a full swap to something a little less hot the current plan is to lollipop ~6/7, turn lights way down, photoperiod going to increase, and flushing or burndown on nutrients until harvest mid-June

ATLien415 added my Grease additives and 12 grams of the Kosher suite as you can see, the girls never really recovered from the mid-flower burning and subsequent issues...as is common, which is why it is important to stay on top of things in a preemptive manner rather than reactive manner; at the end of the day this painpoint is something I have to live with as I go days at a time without touching the girls and have not bit the bullet on fully automating water metrics this weekend when I have time I will be swapping the photoperiod on these girls to something much longer with an even lower intensity and swapping the solution to a flushing solution; this is all in an attempt to land the plane gently with respect to trichome integrity

ATLien415 an RO flush was started 6/11, this crop is ready to pull down honestly...at some point this weekend she will be chopped an interesting observation, considering the consistency across secondary metabolites in hydro-tek, is that the ACI S33 boards much more accurately emulate outdoor conditions compared to the Vivosun boards (see other runs of this same cut). The structure on this cut can be classical christmas tree dense nugs in soil and under white light, if a heavier UV and reds are added though the structure becomes very classically gassy with calyx just falling over calyx, reminiscent of some of the old old old sour cuts.

ATLien415 a classical optimization theory issue with cannabis......WHERE to put your energy. If you have 10 points to spend at the secondary metabolite store, and mass is driven primarily by a handful of dense cannabinoids once dried, then there is certainly some tradeoff between isoprene and non isoprene based volatiles versus cannabinoid content versus flower mass. namely, the stress this tent experienced has led to some of the deepest gas notes I can recall in decades, at the expense of yield. I typically pull a lb every 8 square feet, this was lower than my average.
