2020-06-21 DAY 1 of flower! New week, new nutrient schedule, I kept the PPMs high and changed the ratio. I've tried to keep the 2nd plant on the same nutrient schedule but I had to dilute it within 24 hours because PPM was rising. It seems to have stabilized now. Starting EC = 2.0/1.8 and ppm= 930/880 and pH = 6.0. Added a new dehumidifier but it's totally raising the tent temperature almost 4 degrees F!!! I am in the process of setting up my recirculating system so I can take soon put the reservoir/dehumidifer outside in the same closet, just gotta take out the mini fridge.
2020-06-23 The girls are drinking like crazy! They are drinking much faster than normal so I am topping up with 1.1 mL/L calimagic instead as they still have a ton of food! pH still sinks from 6.0 to 5.5 over the course of 4 days or so but that seems normal for my setup. Threw up a video so you can get more perspective! I now have 3 different dehumidifiers running. There's a small 500 mL one inside the tent which raises temp about 2 degrees F at all times. I have a compressor dehumidifier outside the closet pulling in litres of water a day. I also have a big AC unit with a dehumidifier function that is draining into a 5 gallon pail. I am pulling GALLONS of water out of the air in this room and i've had to close the door to maintain it. Sorry, roommate! No AC unit for you.
I had to do some SUPER CROPPING and bend some of the main stems down on plant 01. It was growing way too quickly in the last 2 weeks. I'm hoping the change in nutrients will promote flowering instead of such rapid height!!
2020-06-27 I keep having to super crop, the plant is so damn resilient, it fixes itself in 1-2 days!! What the hell!! I have reduced the feed going forward for next week. 1000 ppm was too high, I ended up having to top up with fresh water + calimagic almost every single day because it was drinking far too quickly.
I will lower to 800 ppm for next week but maintain the same ratio. Root system is looking ROBUST on both plants!
