Increased watering to 2 min 30 sek today. Got my new timers with settings for seconds. I was expecting this to happen. I didn't get any runoff late today. Increased EC to about 1.5-1.6. It seems like they're about to take off! Increased water, nutrient uptake and growth rate.
Still trying to tuck and open her structure up as much as possible and later use green bendable garden strings to anker the tops to the netting. Then install the second net when stretch is soon to be done.
Planning on lollipopping in a couple of weeks when I'm more sure of how her final structure will look like. It's easy to pull on the tops to see if it's ankered to the netting or not and remove everything that's not ankered.

Increased LED output to 512w total. That's final, I think it peaks at about 660w but I will not go that high this round. Ordered a simple 100w LED panel to veg the moms and keep them alive under. Samsung 281 diods I think, it'll do the job.
Have a storage room of HID equipment, CMH's HPS and MH's laying around but it's not feasible to use in my current situation and environment.

To high runoff EC today when I checked! Lowered EC to 1.2 and flushed til I reached 1.6-1.7 EC runoff. Going to check the upcoming waterings. Also increasing watering cycles to 3 minutes. Realized I haven't had enough runoff the last two days.
She seems to enjoy the extra light, flush and increased watering and lower EC. Really starting to grow like a sativa in flower and she's finally starting to reek!
Edit: Runoff back in range! 1.2 EC in 1.5 out, perfect!

Runoff EC keeps rising on me even with increased runoff. Did another feed cycle to bring runoff down to 1.6-1.7. Lowering EC to 0.9.
Still trying to dial everything in, following her needs! It's been over 15 years since my last coir grown plant so I feel a little bit rusty!

Raised the lights, stretch is on for real! I seem to have her dialed in so far. Perfect runoff and no deficiency's and burns. 0.9 EC in 1.2 out.
Had some thrips on my clones and tomato plants but some citric acid seem to have sorted that, they're perkier today and no adults hanging around! Continuing spraying every day for a week and then once weekly. I've been busy lately. 1g per 1L of water is how I mix, about 1tsp per gallon.

Cuttings/moms chill out and veg in the closet. GSC and Skywalker OG. Been rooted and vegged under a 26w LED bulb until now.
Got my new 100w LED from Philzon, 3000k/6000k and 660nm far red. 70 bucks with shipping! That's insanely cheap compared to just a few years ago. Still waiting for my small 2x2 tent. See if you can spot the thrips damage on the cuttings!
21 days from flip! Filling out! She's put in another gear and frost is forming! Slowly ramping up EC and monitoring run off. Cheers!

Looking good! I think I see very minor signs of damage on the lower cutting.

Yeah it's all over the older growth. Matt looking with white speckles that almost look like start of zinc. def It's a good example of how it looks like in the beginning of infestation, they are more or less dead now. Doing another spray tonight!

Slow and steady wins the race! EC 1.1, pH 6.0, 28.5C/83F, 63% RH.
Raised the lights to the final height with 560w total. It's gonna be hard to raise it later in flower and they stretch pretty heavy despite me giving them kelp. She will probably keep on stretching until 5th week of flower.
Moms in veg have doubled in size since I put them in there. I need to water them twice a day in their 17oz cups. Going to transplant in to gallon containers in a couple of days. Took the last cuttings out of the cloner, four Kali Mist, 100% rooted.
Smell is really coming in, like sweet tangie rock candy! Pepper is coming in later but it smells promising! Haven't flowered her out in coir so I'm looking forward to smell her profile. I'm going to order some fish emulsion to use the last weeks, maybe I'll add a little bit earlier. I only use a 1/10th of lowest recommendations in containers.

Modified the watering ring loop with my soldering iron. Made the wholes bigger and more even. I only needed to run the pump for 1 minute before I saw runoff coming through the bottom. Back to 1 min on 5x a day. It gets better saturated with the bigger wholes and more even spread. It fills the pot like when you're hand watering, exactly what I'm trying to replicate!
You can see the camera picking up the two different spectrums of the lamp. 2700k and 3000k diods

Forgot to fill my humidifier and I've been out of town. The controller was angry and beeping when I got back home.
Plants looked loopy and sad but perked right up after about two hours, was away for 5 hours. 30C/86F and 28% RH is not optimal VPD! Lol!
Recovering! No burnt hairs so I think we're good! Lol! Increased RH to 70% for two hours and going to run 65% until tomorrow, then dial back to 60%.
They will look really happy again in a couple of more hours but it's good to show all the mishaps! Cheers!
