First Grow: Essie

Day 71: Lights to 12/12 (walked down day-to-day from 20/4 last week) Day 72: Light Spectrums B/W/R all set to 100% - watered with 2L of just 6.7 pH filtered water. Day 74: It's hard to get a decent picture of them, but I believe I have pre-flowers all at the top of the canopy now. The smell is slightly stronger now, but not crazy, and I have yet to install the carbon filter. Also, just look at these roots on these clones! Will have to find time to get these in some soil. Wouldn't mind any information on how to keep these clones small for a long time - I got some auto's I would like to try after this, so I'd have to be able to run a solid 12 week tent before having to worry about them. Day 76: Major defoliation, very minor LST this morning. Easily double the trim off than the previous defoliation. Hopefully there is enough airflow for every and I didn't go overboard on the fan leaves, but with it being so bushy I've been worried about humidity (swings 40 at day to 60 at night) for the flowering period. Accidentally topped a bud site, will attempt to add to the clone crew. Added a few tablespoons of FFOF soil to the two largest clones to hand off some nutrients now that their roots are getting so big. The small bunch of clones has some little roots budding at the bases, unsure if all of them will make it, these smaller ones were taken from the top of the plant while the two farther along / initially larger ones were toward the lower stem area. Day 77: For the second time, I failed to water timely. She must have put in some considerable mass because she did NOT feel light enough to worry the previous night... my poor wife had to run around and mix the solution for me this morning while I was at work. I've always been told not to feed during direct lighting, so we fed in the tub of our bathroom and left it there with just the bathroom lights on for an hour before moving it to the tent. In the tent we gave her 50% strength across all spectrums for an hour, than 75% for and hour and a half before moving back to 100% in for the remaining 7 hours of the daily light schedule. Bounced back of course, but will have to get the the watering schedule locked down a bit better. Pics of progression. Fed with a gallon of purified water, 3tsp FFBB, 1 tsp each of Grow Big and Tiger Bloom (first dose of FFTB). 6.55 pH and 557ppm input.
