Dancing with Mephisto III

I was very happy with progress this week as a three definitely hit the stretch. Luckily, the training has paid off and achieved a nice flat canopy on each plant that will fill out nicely into multiple productive bud sites. As usual, I am impressed by the overall versatility of cannabis and the hardiness of this particular cultivar by Mephisto. Earlier in the week I hit her with a mild dose of PK 13/14 and began adding 5ml/Gallon of Canna Boost which has always given me excellent results. Plain water irrigation will always include Boost and Real's Growers Recharge as neither is enough to push TDS into undesirable areas on their own. On average my inflow TDS is around 550ppm when giving full dose fertigations. I started to notice some chlorosis between veins and a few other signs of light stress before realizing I had allowed the light to get around 28" from the tops. I backed it off to ~ 34" and it seems to have helped. Worst case, I will dial back the I/O POT on the HLG light to ease up on the luminosity. Current VPD is calibrated for flowering ranging between 1.2-1.4 kPa (RH = 50%, AT= 73, LT=70); quite happy with where this is dialed in at the moment. My next move will likely be some light defoliation to let some of those tops get out of the shade. More on that in the next update. Thanks for following along!
