Autopots and quantum boards - Blue Dream

It is pretty wild how quickly these plants grow compared to just one week ago. They've been topped, recovered, and started getting pretty bushy. I've been doing some light LST to keep the tops from getting tangled with one another and trying to distribute them out to make a cross pattern. I'm using gardening staples to bend/keep the stems down which are working really nicely. It is very easy to adjust the staples as the plant grows out. Accidentally broke one stem but it looks like it will recover. The nutrients are up to full veg strength at ~1.1 EC of nutes (total EC of ~1.6). I've noticed that my EC likes to drift upward for a couple of days after mixing - not sure if this is normal or if perhaps some of the dry nutes aren't disolving right away (going to mix to a lower EC in the future to account for this). At the end of this week I switched them over to the autopot system with a full reservoir so they will be self feeding from now on. I'm interested to see whether this will cause faster/slower growth. I plan on putting in a scrog net by the end of this coming week.
