First Grow! Blue Dream [Photo] in coco!

Week 8: 11/12 - 11/18 Day 50 - Woke up this morning to do a slurry test of my medium and it was still a tad bit too wet for my tastes. Held off watering this morning on both girls. Tomorrow is the day for sure. Did some tucking after taking this round of pictures to let the new nodes get better light. It's starting to get really crowded with all that growth concentrated in small areas. I think I'll be adding a small humidifier to the tent to bump up the RH by 10-15%. It's not needed but I've been told ~45-50% is ok but could be higher. I'll have to rearrange the tent a bit to make room. Day 51 - Both girls were dry enough to do my slurry test. Base PPM is reading 151. P1 is coming in at 164 and P2 is coming in at 170. I didn't have enough dechlorinated water on hand to get enough runoff with how dry the medium is on hand. Boiled some water and it's cooling down now. Once it's room temp, I'll be flushing each pot to saturate the medium at the correct pH. I'll be getting the PPM of each runoff at that time as well. - PM Update - Runoff PPMs are a little odd. P1 is almost double than P2. P1 runoff = 1194 | P2 runoff = 620... Time to start reading up on what to do. Finally got my new bucket with new airstones. Hoping to not get any algae in this one. Day 52 - Watered P2 normally this morning at .75 L but I flushed around 2.5 L into P1 to bring her EC down in line with P2. They're now within 50 PPM of each other which I think is acceptable. P1 runoff EC = 0.886 | P2 runoff EC = 0.782 | Base water EC = 0.28 | I'm thinking of defoliating the large fan leaves as it's getting crowded. The new growth is starting to get twisted as it's looking for the light. I've tried all I can to tuck the leaves but they keep coming back to cover. The last time I tried getting them tied down, I ended up splitting one of them. I should have kept them trained for better horizontal growth throughout this grow. Lessons learned for next time! They getting clipped instead. - PM update - Defoliation complete and these girls are tied down to hold a better structure. I'm going to re-adjust the some of the straps tomorrow. I didn't want to push either girl too hard tonight. Day 53 - Watered both with .75 L and got the tiniest amount of runoff. A little bit more from P1 which is understandable considering she got the flush yesterday. I'm going to top dress tomorrow morning with a fresh batch of amendments. Day 54 - Top dressed each pot with 4 tbsp of 4-6-2 DTE. They recommend 1-2 tbsp per gallon. This worked out to 1.3 tbsp/gal. Before top dressing each pot, I did some additional training. Pulled each node down a tad more and incorporated some garden wire to push the lower fan leaves down while encouraging the new growth to face upwards. Next top dress will be a mixture of veg/bloom dry amendments which will be around middle to end of December so they're ready to flip to flower. PM update - After looking at these pictures, I can see a little discoloration in the leaves and a bit of burn on the tips. I wonder if I waited too long before I top dressed. I'll look into it in the morning. Day 55 - I wanted to see if I could up each of them to 1 L without run off but got the smallest amount from P2 with a little bit more from P1. I'll prob only give P1 .5 L tomorrow to have them even back out in moisture levels. I'm noticing some burn on the tips. Maybe I amended too early? Day 56 - Gave P1 only .5 L this morning while P2 got her normal .75 L - no more runoff! Did some tucking throughout the day as the lower leaves try to work their way up above the new growth. I'm wondering if I should trim those leaves so the new growth gets all the light.
