PANAMA x MALAWI ... single strain

Week starts strong with the R plant in full stretch, slowly catching-up to the larger L. Stretch for the Left plant may be coming to an end as the average Branch height is now 33”-34” above the soil. Head-room will be a problem soon enough with the Lights. Bending buds to one-side is next on the list as they all near their prime. Light has about 8” yet. 19th, finds me wondering why I removed Medi-one during week 3 of flower. I did as recommended and dropped its levels during the first two weeks of flower. Then stopped completely once Massive Bloom was fully introduced!? Here 2 weeks later I am going to re-introduce a small amount next feeding and p/u where the nutrient calculator states. -will update tds with the medi-one addition (1027ppm) -Finding the Bud/branch tips are getting extra Heat-exposure from the lite, vs the rest of the canopy. (I’m Not used to seeing such a tall reach) I am using LST and the average upper-leaf temperatures, to adjust the height of my CMH lamp. Heard some great advice about “Not letting your plants top leaves, get hotter than the room temp”. Real simple. - Room is 27c; top-leaf temp of 25c would be perfect. (~25.5) Looking for a degree or two below St/Pt from here on in. Will raise or lower the lite accordingly. (Having a laser thermometer in the bag, makes it very easy to monitor how much nrg is landing on the plant. Super accurate & instant temp. readings. Move the lite or plant a half-inch, there will be a measurable difference) 20th ** and as I was closing-up the tent last nite, I noticed ONE bud with Shrivelling Orange Pistils *** will follow-up on that tonight and hope there are a few more. Yep, pics to follow ** -sneeking a gallon of water with Medi-one/Ocean Magic @ 6 ml each, between the plants. re: getting medi-1 back in the mix, ahead of the Next scheduled feed on Fri. -1 gallon will just wet the appetites. Might delay normal dinner/nutes till Sat... (yes) -trimmed bad foliage for the last time and any new tiny buds low in the branch structure were removed Sat Jan 23 - big feed tonight after a long dry week. (1 gallon mid-week top-up; O.M. & Medi-1 @ 6ml ea., last reg feed was last Sun) - Increasing Ocean Magic application above marked & stated Volumes on the products. ie: current 2ml/gal., increasing towards 8ml/gal as per Company Officials. Because I’m using other G.P. products, there are confirmed safe & proven results at this higher ratio. **Ocean Magic Container labels state 2ml/gal for Soil use.** This 2ml recommendation to the masses, relates to mixing O.M. with Other Companies products; G.P. want no Culpable mistakes associated with their products and general grower nutrient issues. “If your using Ocean Magic, along with the rest of G.P. products... the company states it can be used @ 8ml/gal (2ml/L) in Soil via their Nutrition Calculator.” I’ll post it... - (per litre) & its recommended that way. I’m making the jump, not having full buds in the past few grows, makes this an easy path to follow. Look-out tds ! No fiction here, it took 3 emails and resulted in a direct phone conversation with Mark @ Green Planet. Thanks again!! -People fear failure and in this case unfortunately, I think it has affected how Green Planet communicates their products potential successes. I am making the insider-move from 2ml to 8ml. I think they are missing a big boat by not openly sharing this beneficial info on product labels. To see this info, you must FIND it online! My regret is that while continually trying to improve my own efforts and create an organic environment the last 2 or 3 seasons, this product has always been under-applied by me... by 75% !! Product Label instructions ! “Use @ 2ml/gal for Soil and root feeding” But, if you look in the right place (on-line nutrient calculator) ...“it states directly to use Ocean Magic@ 8ml/gal.” That is what has me shaking my head. I’m not bitter, just sharing the facts & Trying to finish with a strong grow. Fear Not GREEN PLANET, I’m not going anywhere ! (I’m Going to raise your Ocean Magic sales rates though) cheers Nutes: - dinner tonight has lots of everything re: 1270ppm TDS, without molasses. Adding 2 Tablespoons took it to 1360ppm. Close enough for today. Fed and done Sun 24 - rotate the plants and mesh the canopies & supports together for another week. LST as needed - dropping the humidity a bit as we approach week 6. - Tent @ 25.5c. New R.H. target = 53%
