11/08 Day 36 - Start of week 6. The plants drank up all of the water from the flush I did 5 days ago. Watered again with ~4 l/plant at 6.2 PH. If they show enough vigor over the next 3-4 days I may re-introduce nutrients at half the strength of what I fed previously. Turned the Bloom lights back on as well. I've been able to achieve a decently flat canopy with all 3 plants ~10 inches in height which places them 30 inches from the light and hopefully primed for some stretch this week as they've transitioned into flower. I've counted ~35 viable bud sites that could potentially reach the canopy over the next few weeks. I think it is safe to say the FIM HST worked. Being very cautious with defoliation at the moment. Have only pinched off a few leaves that have either shown discolouration, or are so crowded they can't absorb any light. Excited for week 6 to unfold. 11/11 Day 39 - Each plant received some light defoliation (3-5 fan leaves beneath the main canopy.) All of the pipe cleaners were removed in preparation for feeding and re-training. Prior to administering the nutrient solution of cal-mag and micro/grow/bloom at a dosage of .75 ml/L as shown above (4L/Plant), each pot was top dressed will extra soil to provide additional support and moisture retention as these girls grow, stack on weight, and drink more water. I also dropped a support net down and tried to spread the bud sites out as evenly as possible by bending/tucking branches/stems where needed. 11/12 Day 40 - ~6 inches of stretch in the past 4 days. The canopy is now 16 inches tall, and 24 inches from the light. 11/14 Day 42 - Last day of week 6. Gave each plant 4 L of water (PH 6.3) with 1/2 teaspoon of Recharge. There must have been some moisture remaining in the 2 smaller plants (Pinky & Blanche) because both had a fair amount of runoff (~5%) while the big girl Bleu had hardly any (<1%). It has been really humid outside this past week and so I've had difficulty keeping the humidity down even with a small dehumidifier running in the tent and the exhaust fan running at full speed. If the weather persists, as I assume it will, I'll need to get a larger dehumidifier for the balance of the grow.

I’m running a viparspectra 600W reflector series LED 30 inches above these seedlings with only the veg lights turned on. The seeds went in the water 14 days ago and my question is: when should I turn on the bloom lights as well?

If you want tight internodes and keep her short and squat. Use the veg switch only. But if you want more vigorous growth with a little stretch I recommend using both switches. And if you pick option one you can keep veg switch on till week 3 of flower then turn both switches on. This will keep those internodes tight set you up with some nice dense bud.

Nute Burn Plan. Lower light to 24 inches and turn on bloom switch. Flush soil with 8 litres of water (PH 6.5) per pot. Questions: will increasing the intensity of light increase plants ability to absorb nutrients, or simply stress them more? Is 8L water/ 10L pot enough to flush?

@MediciGrade Dont lower your lights as the extra heat will only add to the stress of a nutrient toxicity. Do your plain water flush until the runoff ppm is back to wherever it was before you overfed.

Bleu (largest of the 3 plants) is ~14 days behind the other 2. Is such a variance in size & rate of maturation common when growing from seed? Does LST/HST amplify the differences between phenotypes? She's so tall I'm worried about light stress. Should I reduce the light schedule?

Reduce the light and you will reduce your yield. LST and hst will amplify nothing , it will keep them shorter and will allow you to build a shape but will not reduce the way they are growing , a tall plant remains tall and a short plant remains short , you can manage the height and size but that's all. From seed you have different type of shape , smell and colours due to the multiples phenotypes available, you make your selection to keep a clone and maybe creating a clone only strain ( I am calling it a clone only phenotype , a strain is not a cutting )

Brown spots and yellowing pictured above. My best guess is a Cal/Mag deficiency. Was feeding Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus at 1 ml/l up until ~2 weeks ago (friend has been watering while I was out of town). Before I feed her, any advice on what the problem is and how to correct it?

I think this is down to the pH being slightly low, try to increase it to 6.5 and flush as budx says. It could be pests so check under the leaves very closely for any evidence... I hope its the first issue. 🌱😁

Flushing in fabric pots is not to easy, because tey keep everything very well inside. because of theis you will have to let them dry ( bottom area) before you get them back in the box. I put my plants for a nicht on a grid lot let them drip out

@Mrs_Larimar, Great point! I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to figure out a way to elevate them from their saucers and direct airflow underneath the pots.

10L of plain water in a 10L pot, is enough if the soil isn’t too dry. Just make sure there’s about 7L to 8L from the drain. Water should be clear and clean at the end of flushing.
