Budoken Light switched from 5% to 25%. Transplanted to big cubes, cubes presoaked with ph balanced 1/4 strength canna aqua vega and rhizotonic solution. Air pruning until proper root growth established, before final transplant to nft.

Budoken Only one plant made it to the nft system, other one died, maybe because of transplanting too early. It had very little root growth and progress overall. This healthy one has been poking roots through the cube aĺl week, and is now ready to start it's real growth phase. Hoping to see fast progress once those roots start growing along the nft tray. Light 25%, bottom feeding light nutes

Budoken Good growth after transplanting to nft. While I was away for a day, plant had started clawing/curling down leaf tips. Possibly nitrogen toxicity or ph too high (was 6.2 when checked). Diluted reservoir with some lower ph water. Light at 50% now.

Budoken Solved the issue with clawing and twisting leaves by adding air stones in the reservoir. The plant perked up within 24 hours and is growing well now. 3/4 strength nutrient solution and 75% light power.

Budoken Catastrophe nearly avoided. Pump had failed one evening, noticed it the next day and the plant was badly wilted (~12h without water). Lost quite a many leaves but otherwise it bounced back really well luckily. This single point of failure is one big downside of this nft setup.
Instead of changing whole res, topped the remaining veg solution with flowering nutes since the plant is still stretching a bit. Still using 3/4 strength but girl seems to eat well and ec is dropping slowly so will start feeding full strength soon.
Overall, quite happy how things are progressing. Will start cleaning the underside soon and get rid of the branches that dont seem to make it to the canopy level.

Budoken Week went smoothly 👌Plant has been hungry, ec dropping from 1.0 to 0.7. Ph has been drifting a little high around 6.2, added some ph- to bring at down a touch. I had to top some nutes too, added both Vega and Flores. Also decided to do defoliate quite a lot of leaves from top and middle, plant is so bushy. Trying to get better light penetration and air flow. Light is running 100%.
At the end of this week, made full res change and flush, now start running full Flores dosage. Let's see how the plant will react.

Budoken Solid week, mainly just adjusting the ph down and topping the reservoir with 20l more of nutrient solution. Ec 1.6 was bit too much I believe, minor tip burn appeared. Dialed it down to 1.3-1.4, and it seems to be ok.
Had two leaf plucking sessions, removed a bunch of shadowing leaves from the top and lot of leaves from the middle. There are so many branches right next to each other, I need to keep clearing leaves to allow even a little space around each.
I also installed a new fan, Ac Infinity T4, seems really good with many options from it's controller and mainly is a lot quieter than the old one I have.

Budoken Minor ph issues with it rising to 6.5, some rust spots appearing on some of the leaves. I was too busy this week to keep a close to eye to it, just adding some ph down twice. Did a full res change and will try to monitor the ph more closely next week.
Buds are forming nicely and the smell is becoming more prominent. Still plucking some leaves every few days to allow light to lower branches. It's my first try with an autoflower and totally blown away how big this plant is getting! Maybe around 4 more weeks until it's finished?
