More fine tuning was done this week. A different heater introduced Thursday because the last one would only run 12 hours at a time.
Beginning Wed, Feb 12;
4 oz of quarter strength Veg solution was applied to each. The numbers I entered are for HALF strength solution. So I only applied quarter strength once, which was Wednesday. I removed a heating pad and rotated pots.
Thursday
No water. Monitor only.
Friday
Gave each plant 4oz of HALF strength veg
Saturday
no water
Sunday
pH 6.8 water only - 8oz ea
Monday
pH 6.8 h2O 8oz ea. Began playing w LST
Tuesday
Removed LST. - no water
I want to start LST as early as I can before they get too Woody, but I definitely feel I've jumped the gun so I'm going to hang tight until I see more height.
Sneak peek for next week; today, Wednesday, is technically the beginning of week 4 so I'll record this next week as well.. but today I gave 4oz more each of half strength veg nutes and turned on flower lights as well so I am now running full spectrum. (1000w not 1200w)
I am hoping that by being more reserved on fluid quantities next week will allow me to squeeze in more feed-water-water cycles instead of dry out days. Trying to fine tune their water consumption.
