Calibration Run

Six weeks in and all four girls are starting to fill out. I’d say the critical is furthest along, but they’ll all stay in for another three weeks I’d guess. Been running fairly high nutrients the last two weeks, and will start to taper this week. I did a full flush today, then drained again and filled with the new nutrient blend for this week. If anyone is wondering when I say “fairly high”, I just mean I am running close to label directions for my products … I’m typically only 80% of label at most, except the 2 or 3 middle weeks (weeks 5,6, and sometimes 7), where I’ll run label or higher. I do test ppm and tds, but I don’t chase it. I just do a reservoir change every week for the most part. For nutrients , I have tried current culture line my last two grows … plus added silicone, Epsom salts, and a PK booster for a week or two (only week 7 for this grow I anticipate). I’ve cut the silicone in half this week, and this will be the last week I use it (I generally stop use a week after vertical growth has stopped). Plants are still looking healthy, and similar to my comments the last couple of weeks, I just did not grow them long enough before the flip … amazing what 2-3 days woulda likely done. Live and learn though … first Scrog was intended as a learning experience.
