Great journal, id love to have a crack at growing kali mist but its always been to long flower cycle to throw into the system we work with :)
Setup is ace looking!
Thanks bud! Kali Mist is awesome if you find the right phenotype. I'm looking forward to growing an old favourite of mine Tropical Snow(Sonic’s cut of Kalishnapple, known as Tropicanna, with Kromes White Triangle).

I remember my then friend chopping her down without telling me, from my fucking flower tent! He's no longer a friend to say the least. She was so beautiful but had very little effect because she was taken way to early. Very uniform growth and she smelled amazing all these years ago.

My favourite weed ever is Y Griega, a cross between amnesia and kali mist. Excellent happiness weeds that feels like you light a sun filled with love an relief inside your chest. Do you run any uv?

I used to fiddle with reptile bulbs back in the day but nowadays I've been looking at https://rapidled.com/products/uva-trichome-enhancement-puck for a couple of years now.

It seems like they finally got a stock in Europe?, maybe I'll order two pucks and try them out next run!

Back then we thought UV-B was all we needed and nowadays we know UV-A to be the superior alternative and safer to use.

Ive fiddled around a lot with uv and had really good results with uva. But those things are mucho expensive! 7 euros per diode, even with seoul viosys is robbery. And that puck only uses near uva, no deep uva 365nm. Please talk to me after xmas about alternatives ;)

LED is set to 400w at the moment and light cycle is 8/16. She'll do that for 4 weeks then switch to 6 hours onward. It's 4 days since flip and plants are filling out.

I'm going a way for a couple of weeks and I'll leave them with 1.2 EC pH 6.5 food, being fed 3 times a day. That's with 50ppm residual Silicate and the rest is Calcinit and Mega Crop 5-12-26. I'll lower Silicate to 30ppm in late flower.

Environment is kept at 28C/82.5F and RH 65-70%. I'm adding moisture as long as I possibly can and need in flower.

First runoff reading of the day is:

1.2 EC pH 6.5 going in

EC 1.3 pH 6.4 coming out as leachates/runoff.

- That's stable and EC is slowly stacking to be in range. I'm aiming to be close to 0.3 EC above from the input. If input is 1.2 then I optimally want to see 1.5 EC on the output.

So one pump got clogged from previous runs built up biofilm. I've been lazy and haven't been replacing the hoses but now I'm back and monitoring everyday so no more mishaps fingers crossed. She's been under low humidity so she looks a little rough but OK.

I removed the dry to the bone plant and raised the net and spread the remaining girl out. Maybe it was for the better because I'm pretty sure she will fill out very well by her own. She still got at least 3 weeks of stretch ahead.

I increased feeding frequency to 5 times a day being fed 1.1 EC pH 6.5 in.

First runoff at 16:00 came out:

1.1 EC in, 1.7 EC out. pH 6.5 in, pH 6.5 out.

I'll decrease input to 1.1 EC. She's picky, sensitive and still a little blue. She requiers light feeding being fed often to flourish.

Cheers!

This is going to be interesting to follow ideal, what hrs was your pic in post #251 grown with?

Cheers
I'm curious to about the outcome, I'm positive so far in veg and not going back to 18/6.

#251 is vegged with gas lantern and 5 days from flip to 8/16. Not really gone into flower yet in the picture. They've been repeatedly cropped with broken stems since being put in the flower tent to even her out.

She react like a Cookie cross when being flipped with a lot of stretch early on. She will keep filling out for a a couple of more weeks before I finish her off with 6 hours. The main goal is to get the bud size down and shorten flower while still letting her fully ripe.

She's probably a 13 week strain under 12/12 and it would be nice to shorten that to ideally 11 weeks of flower.
