Zkittles Auto (Fastbuds) + Quantum Board

WEEK 7 Day 43 Have decided to start watering daily to run-off using nutrient strengths based oin the EC value for the solution. For instance, I have downloaded a coco growing guide which gives recommended EC ranges for the plants based on their stage of growth. So for this stage now, early flowering, I will be aiming for an EC of nutrient solution of between 1.5 and 2.0 (this takes into account my water EC which is 0.4 Day 44 Fed plants with a solution with EC=1.3, PH=5.6,m Temp=20c, Volume given to plants = 15L (1.6L each(, Runoff EC=1.2, Runoff volume = 6.5L = 720ml (approx 50% runoff). Day 45 - Day 46 - Day 47 - Fed plants with an EC aim of 1.7 and a PH aim of 5.9. Mixed in nutrients at a 42% strength and got a solution with EC 1.63, PH=6.0, Temp=14c, Volume given 21L (2,1L each) Run off EC=1.2, Runoff Volume=7.5L (0.83L each = 33%). Day 48' Fed plants with leftover 9L of nutrient from day 47, diluted with 9L of tap water for a PH of 6.0 and an EC of 1.9 Day 49 Fed plants with an EC aim of 1.4 and a PH aim of 5.,9, Mixed in a 35% nutrient contrentraction, This made 30L of nutrient with an EC of 1.5, PH=6.2, Temp=17c produced. A volume of 15L was given to the 9 plants (1.6L each with nominal runoff that had a EC around 1.0 END OF WEEK 9 - well I have to say I've been seeing droop several hours before and after the light cycle starts even since I allowed the plants to go 3 full days with any water culminating in their first major droop on day 34. That situation effecfed different plants in different ways. It seems like the younger plants got stunted and yellowed off the most, and seemed the most impacted. Those that were closer to flowering stage seemed to take a hit, but overall have taken less of a stunting than the younger plants, and it feels like these younger plants have been taking longer to get back to an optimal growth rate. They are indeed still showing a lighter green coloring in their leaves but given the rapid jump into flowering of the originally more advance plants, these younger ones now that they are returning to their previous vegatative growth rates may well continue to veg up and out, and overtake the originally more advanced plants. The plants have continued to recover well since the dry out, and several are heavily into flower. Some continue to grow slower than the others and at this stage I really have no idea how these plants will go over their full 12 week growth span. Given the great looking potential yield from my untrained gorilla glue grow, I am wondering what if any advantage my training of these p[ants has had as far as the final yield goes. Maybe I started the LST to late at day 32, but it was my first time ever. I will be interested to see how these Zkittles go, it will definitely influence any future use of training with Autoflower strains of plants. All this aside I think my move to daily waterings was something I should have been doing since the first big watering. I feel like it is definitely a better choice than periodic watering based on how dry the pot is.
