Grow's pretty much on auto this last week other than having to mix up batches of nutrient. They've been drinking 8 gallons of nutrient solution pHed 6.4 to 6.8 with around 900 - 1000 ppm in the water. I've been feeding full strength CALi MAGic when I started seeing pre pistil appearing. This next feed I'm going to reduce CALi MAGic to 1/2 strength and do a half Grow half Bloom mix to raise K. It'll raise N also but it should be fine as I'm not going hard on overall PPM.​

I did a grow/bloom mix at flip to keep enough nitrogen in the soil to last throughout the first 4 -5 weeks of flower. I like to do another to up the K and give it another nitrogen boost.
 
Oh. Ok.

I don't do any of that, but I had one last grow I chased a calmag deficiency big time. New growth was still pretty good though.
 
I do a GB mix at flip once or twice to fortify the soil then re up around week 5 or 6. The rest of the time it's all Bloom. I don't use bloom boosters. I realized I could mix grow and bloom and get the same effect.

My municipal water is pretty much devoid of minerals. I test my tap every month or so and the PPM never goes above 100 and usually floats between 40 -80 ppm so I do 1/2 strength cal mag throughout until after 1st week of flip where I up the cal /mag to full strength.
 
Water I'm using has a 0.0 EC which doesn't help when it comes to a coco grow and no calmag suppliment

Girls are cruising now just getting fatter and fatter by the day. Starting to see a little frost forming. Should get pretty sugary in the tent by the looks of it.

One observation that I'm seeing is that the flowers under the Blurple seem to fatten up a faster than under the white light LED's. I'm guessing because of the lack of green in the light spectrum but I'm not 100% on that. I need to do some research and start asking dumb questions!!!

Starting monday I'm going to start ramping down the DLI to harvest.

Trichs are starting to form.

I hit the 7 week mark from flip/5 from flower so I just started to drop the DLI 3 - 4 points every week or so until harvest.
 
FloraFlex Matrix plates. They are part of FloraFlex's Matrix irrigation system. I didn't need the plumbing or pump as I already have one so I just needed the plates. They work great for getting water to saturate all the media easily and quickly.
 
AC Infinity T3. I fabricated the extension tube out of plumbing parts from Home Depot. Love that little humi. Set it and forget it other than keeping it topped off.

Under Canopy - 79.5°/50%

Something new to chew on. I had an extra mini hygrometer that I compared accuracy to with the Therm-Pro hygrometer I have in the 2 x 2 and it was off by a couple of degrees lower and maybe 3% lower on humidity so close enough. I hung the probe off of the net under the canopy to see what the environment was like. Everything is looking good fumunda!!!!

Girls continue to fatten up so not much to do on my end. My job at this point is Plant Bartender. I make sure they get the drink they want, when they want and keep the humidifier reservoir topped off. Hopefully I get left with a big tip at the end of it all!!!

Trichs are still building. Starting to see the pistils darkening slightly and starting to pull back in.

Beautiful canopy. I'm envious for sure. Just got a scrog net but the traditionalist me is fighting the logic me. I can almost smell that pic
