<span class="link_user">@Danylo</span>, okay. but on week 4 you show different plants on photos. one plant has side stalks almost as thick as the main stem and the main stem looks like it's about 2cm in diameter. It looks more like a 6 week old plant, not 4 week old, am I mistaken? Anyway, this is very impressive for such small grow box. I like the idea of 12-12 from seed for small grow space, to have it start flowering as soon as it's mature enough. Will try to re-create your experiment as I did run into issues in the past, from plant obesity to height issues in a limited height grow box.

, Just went back to check dates on the pictures and they're 4 days apart (It's the same plant). The other pictures do obscure the stem structure, and the 7Liter airpot's tiny diameter makes things look a lot larger than they really are. Apart from that the Banana Punch DID have some of the best stem genetics I've ever had. Even the lateral branches were VERY sturdy!
Good luck with your next run bro, 12/12 was very fun! If the laws here allowed for more plants I'd have one extra tent running this all the time!
<span class="link_user">@Danylo</span>, "At this exact point I also feed an extra 200mg/L of MonoKaliumPhosphate (0-52-34) for two waterings." - what was the observed benefit of it? The study you mentioned says P and K had practically no effect on yield.

, At that point the plant actually stops doing what it is doing and starts something else (with slightly different nutrient needs). This just helps the growing medium to provide this new profile earlier instead of gradually. Also as it is on top of the normal nutrients it increases the soil EC a little during this time. As K is a cat-ion and P is an an-ion the ion-balance isn't trown completely out of whack by this either.
What does it do ? Maybe (possibly...) very little, but at this point I'm looking for little things to optimize. :grin:
<span class="link_user">@Danylo</span>, my main concern is, in your 12-12 experiment, when do you switch from Nitrogen diet to Phosphorus/Potassium diet? Is it week 4? Or is there some visual cues you await for, that tell you to start giving Phosphorus dominant feed?
Before this run I already got a replacement because I thought "no way this still filters out the stank after more than a year in constant use" ... Well , the replacement is still unopened because it, in fact, still works very well for some reason ?!
