This diary is split into two different tents. The 4x4 Gorilla tent is intended to produce, to push the limits of the plants, as well as the system. Max yield, max potency, max flavor are the goals. I was beginning the LST by tipping the ladies over to expose the lateral branches and I got a little too rough with one of them and broke the main stem just above the second node. I lost over half of the plant, but it's early and it might just turn out to be a Bob Ross (Happy little accident). I'm considering making this grow as 4 main colas. I have two additional Blackberry Moonrock in the tent. The other two BBM are looking gorgeous. The stems are thickening. I have prune off some of the fan leaves that were VERY large and causing shading over the sprouting emerging lateral branches. All of the air stones are running full throttle, as is the main nutrient pump...calculated volume is ~700GPH . Res temp is 66 . The second reservoir chiller is expected to arrive today for the 2.5' x 4.5' tent ( aka The Forge). This will allow me to give a bigger push and raise the tent temp from 71 to 77. I have maintained "lower" tent temp to avoid warming the reservoir. Onc ethe chiller ias available to counteract....game on!
I have Ghost Train Power developing in the Forge tent. The developmental system in the Forge has undergone modifcation to the stand pipe drains. 2 of 3 grow buckets now have been changed to the 2" drain pipe. This larger diameter was used because the smaller drain were not able to drain fast enough. This would cause the roots to float and be pulled into the drain, further clogging the system. The larger drain allows the nutrient to drain through the overflow more gently
