Day 44 (Jan 10 - Flower Day 10)
More of a maintenance day. The focus was keeping the canopy flat and even while the plant continues to push. This is where the tent starts feeling smaller every day.
Day 45 (Jan 11 - Flower Day 11)
At 02:30 I measured EC 1.466 (1466 µS/cm).
At noon, after a top-off (this time with fertilizer included), I landed at EC 1.480 and pH 6.19.
Day 46 (Jan 12 - Flower Day 12)
At 12:15 I measured EC 1.512. After topping off I ended up at pH 5.75 and EC 1.462.
Later I decided to push the reservoir strength up, briefly saw a higher number, then did the right thing: I waited for proper mixing. After 15 minutes of circulation, the stable reading was EC 1.612 with pH 5.88.
Canopy-wise she’s starting to look like a literal square under the trellis - which is both hilarious and satisfying.
Day 47 (Jan 13 - Flower Day 13)
At 00:30 I measured EC 1.618 and pH 6.30. I topped off ~1.5 L of pH’d water and rechecked after circulation: EC ~1.620 and pH ~6.06.
After that I adjusted pH down to 5.69.
Day 48 (Jan 14 - Flower Day 14)
At 00:30 (before top-off): EC 1.622 and pH 6.16. Water level drop was about 2 L out of roughly 9 L, so definitely a big drink.
I decided to top off with nutrients this time. After the top-off and ~15 minutes of circulation, the reservoir landed at pH 5.74 and EC 1.720.
Canopy / space notes (Week summary)
The canopy is getting extremely even and wide — genuinely “square” under the trellis. I’ve been leaf tucking and I also weaved two tops sideways under the net to keep the canopy flat. Height management is now a real factor: the plant is around 43 cm tall even while being woven into the trellis. The good news is I can now rig the light up to about 90 cm above the bucket, which gives much more breathing room than I originally thought.
Week takeaway
The plant is clearly in a strong stretch phase (big daily growth, big water consumption). The reservoir has been stable when I’m careful with mixing time, and the trellis work is paying off — the canopy is filling the tent efficiently and staying controllable.
