Everything has been ticking over nicely so nothing really to report. Not seeing any mad stretch (Didn't in last grow either funnily enough) but only 1 week from lights moving to 12/12 and this is a Dual Spec HPS so maybe the small amount of blue in there limiting that???
There are quite a number of Spindly Top Stems...hoping they beef up over the next couple of weeks but do have a 32hole SCROG net I can put in to support them if needs be if they do remain a bit spindly. Probs the last Nitrozyme Foliar I'll give (...maybe 1 more after a haircut next week just to minimise stress).
Torus In Tank (not the inline as I didnt install it yet) seems to be pretty decent now and holding out the pH quite decent (will tend to acid rather than an upward tend to neutral like a standard drift, esp. when the water is low). Roots are well in the Wilma now and even the Strawberry Lemonade that got an accidental root prune has built up a good mass in a week again.
This grow seems to be drinking more than the last one - from 50L in tank, I took out just shy of 20L in tonight water change, so 30L drunk in the past week. No top-ups/dilutes so they taking the feed nice with no tip burn (Not bad for calculating the feed chart 3 months before beginning the grow and never having used Botanicare Kind Line before!!! :P)
** Update ** - trying a flush. Not pure tap water but close. Added 60ml pure blend tea, 50ml active boost, 50ml fulvic and 50ml Sensizym to a 50L tank. Probs add 5ml ATA Clean just to start to cleaning process too. Last days now!!! :)
@Ferenc, It was very good for the veg stage, I have to say. The Wedding Cake that went into it native has been as strong as an ox. No issues, not even a stretch with massive leaves...the Pink Kush and Strawberry Lemonade did go 18/6 for a week or 2 before I went 6/2 for heat management (I will do all grows going forward 6/2 btw) and they were stretchy on the flip.
@@hillman, Dude, no joke...pre-planned it 3 months in advance before I had even bought the nutes. I was pretty spot on with the numbers (give or take maybe 1-2 ml for ease. This week should have been Base 80, Grow 32 and Bloom 64 but the round down and up on the grow/bloom just a bit easier hitting the number in the grad cylinders!!!) and hitting the EC's i expected. Have an excel calc made up for the kind range now myself! :) and happy to see they are growing well and are showing no signs of burn or deficiency from the plan!
Tank change tonight...they drinking at least 5L a day now the 4 of them so this is the highest EC they receive this week (unless I go against what I was thinking of doing and adding a PK9/18 booster in on week 4 which will spike them up some more).
@GMSgrows, Using a Torus Hydro in the tank...I set it to 6 and it auto swings the pH between 5.8 to 6.2 so as the plant can get what it needs as it needs it. Dont know if I should go with the very light feed plan this coming thursday (Still have this weeks stuff to upload, about to do it now) or go with the Shogun Dragon Force. 2-3 of the plants flowers hairs have all contracted and looking like on the last stage of ripening while the Strawberry Lemonade still got some white hairy flowers!
Looking good and progressing very nicely !! Good luck with the grow !

Also… I have a lots of growing tips on my profile page (comments section)
Edit - Added PK Warrior in the end, but very little compared to recommended...added at 0.2ml/L as opposed to the 0.5-1ml/L (1ml/L usually used the 1st week [week 4] and then 0.5 for the following 3 weeks).
