Coco-based hydroponics (C-BH) 2

Summary on flo week 2 --------------------------------------------- As plants are stretching i use this as opportunity to bend the stems and expose more of them to light. I was dubious whether to use scrog or not, but the Larry Bird plant got a lot taller than the other and three, so i had to super scrop her tallest branches, even if i know it's a bit late for any HST. I plan to extra nurture the HST-ed Larry the best i can. Now, all plants have even canopy and they're at the same hight. Luckily the plants have this and the following week while they still be in transition stage so i hope everybody would have enough time to recuperate the trainings. The lamp distance is exactly 40 cm. (15inches) above canopy and thanks to the trainings the light is evenly distributed over the plants. Even the far-sided branches receive very sufficient amount of the emitted light. I have to admit that all of the strains are reacting very well on trainings. I'm going very easy on nutrients and i dont give more than 75% of the recommended label dosages. Nutrient solution pH is always 5.5, while the EC is 2.2. I buffer the ph with phosphorus acid. Next week i'll administer foliar spray with iron-based additive, combined with molasses and amino-acids (Plagron Vita Rase and Sugar Royal) solution. Few days later, i'll lollipop the bottom 1/3 of the plants and that's going to be the last training applied on this grow. I have a lot of circulating air, freshly induced directly from the outside air and strong extractor which is great for the plants.
