Stiggy 19 Oct: Tied the main stem down, took off some leaves and cleared the lower nodes. Light raised to 50 cm. 30 cm tall.
20 Oct: More LST clips, tied some leaves back and took off a few more lower nodes. Dehumidifier is in now as well.
21 Oct: Watered 2.5 L with Bio-Bloom 2 ml/L and Bio-Grow 2 ml/L. Removed more lower nodes. Light went to 60 cm and 90 %, around 660 PPFD at the canopy.
22 Oct: didn't do much today, she's still a bit short, but catching up
23 Oct: First pistils are out, so she has started to flower. Lollipopped the bottom, a lot of lower nodes sat fully in the dark. Watered 2.5 L with Bio-Bloom 3 ml/L + Bio-Grow 2 ml/L and she drank all of it. Lamp at 40 cm now, 846 PPFD on average over the tent.
Week 5 totals (19–25 Oct): 7.5 L of water. Bio-Bloom total: 20 ml. Bio-Grow total: 12.5 ml.
24 Oct: Bent a few branches down to level the canopy and raised her pot so her tops sit at the same height as the others.
25 Oct: Watered 2.5 L with Bio-Bloom 3 ml/L + Bio-Grow 1 ml/L.

Stiggy 26 Oct: Flower week 6, she's looking strong with many tops, did some defoliation
27 Oct: Watered her today: 2.5 L with Bio-Bloom 4 ml/L + Bio-Grow 1 ml/L, also did some minor lollipopping and accidentaly broke of one of the tops :(
28 Oct: I'm not at home this evening, so no new pic today.
29 Oct: Pot was bone dry. Gave her 2.5 L with Bio-Grow 2 and Bio-Bloom 4 ml/L.
31 Oct: Watered 2.5 L with Bio-Bloom 5 ml/L and Bio-Grow 1 ml/L. She's too rigid to bend now, so she stays as she is.
This week the tent ran 25 °C and 60.5 % in the light, 22.2 °C and 63 % in the dark, leaf VPD about 1 kPa. Whole-tent estimate is about 680 PPFD and 49 mol DLI, though the meter shows 800-1000 PPFD up at the tops. pH stays in the upper 6s (about 6.6-7.0).
Next: she's still stretching, so I'm watching how close her tops get to the lamp.
Blue Dream Auto (Fast Buds) · Mars Hydro FC3000-EVO + iControl, light at 95 % · BioBizz Light-Mix, Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom · 1×1 m
Also in this tent: Frostbanger, Guava and Gelato, each with its own diary on my profile.
