I want to hear more about the trim party orgies so I can live vicariously through your life! (meaning: I have no life)....

OK, I got the spreadsheet updated, except for the ppm settings for the CALiMAGic that I had to add in. Will get it fixed... The first is without CALiMAGic so that you can see the EC at "recommended strength". Obviously I mix at 40-45 percent of their rates. But the ratios are what is important. What I have been finding easiest is to mix my nutes in a 3g water jug, based on my res size. I then just add as much as needed until I hit the sweet spot. Is there anything wrong with that method btw?
Anyways, this is a sample of week 1 in flower, it is the most balanced representation I figure. I can do different ones for different periods, but I am curious what you think about the ratios.
With CALiMAGic
Edit: Numbers are not clear enough, will reformat and repost...
Edit #2: Just copy/pasted the info, and that didn't help much. Have to run for a bit, will try later.

Doesn't look bad.
Potassium might be a bit high, and you might try using Epsom in place of Calimagic as the ca levels might cause you some mg headaches.
Try lowering the base by ~10%, and doing Epsom instead of Calimagic.

Bring mg up to 50% of ca, so without Calimagic ~125ppm(mg)
What nutrients are you using?

Been busy trimming the 4 Chem Sis at 63 and 64 days. Overall I am pleased with this strain, and should be keeping her in my stable. I am hoping for 2-3 zips per, which is acceptable for a first run. There is definitely a difference between the two that were pruned, and trained into the screen, and the two that were left to run free. I have each of the 4 drying on their own racks, and will have dry weights early next week.
The USD will be at 70 days on Monday. I will be doing a staggered harvest on these. I dropped N a week early due to the Sis being on the same res, and have not really had to defoliate much, since leaves have been falling off on their own. They seem to be finishing up, and the lack of N, may be why. I have taken her at 70 days and everyone loved it!
The new room is doing well. Fucking USD is performing as expected, and will be hitting the ceiling soon...
Pup loves the beach!
A lot going on right now, and will try to get a better update in the next few days.

First dry weights are in. For reference, the first two plants were in screens, and pruned of suckers pretty aggressively, while the last two where just placed on top, and left to run free. There are a couple differences between them.
One is the medium. The first two were grown in my coco/crouton/hydrolite mix, while the other two were done in straight coco.
The other difference is the feedings. The bottom two were fed 3-4 times a light cycle, while the other two were fed once, and sometimes twice if I got up early enough.
At first appearance I would not be surprised if the first two end up yielding twice as much as the last two. A couple more days and I will have weights for the last two.
I will be resting this weekend, in anticipation of the trim orgy on Monday...
I have an investor that I am dating, that is going to double her 5k investment in 3-6 months. I will be getting a good chunk of it on Monday, the monster Sis plants need more light!
I have also been busy getting ready to move 30+ plants outside. I am going to be doing Subcool's Supper Soil, the the local hydro store manager printed out for me, at the register, from High Times website lol! Yes, it's gonna be hard to find a more 420 friendly community... The mix requires only water and compost tea for the whole cycle, with some top dressing after stretch, but basically set it, and forget it.
I am thinking #10 smart pots, spaced to allow 3' diameter plants, shooting for 8 ounces per. Can't beat nearly free meds
There was a couple more items, but it's 1am, and I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

That's awesome. almost a half elbow from two plants!!! I just harvested recently and my nugs looked similar to yours, nice and chunky. I have also done experiments with trained and non-trained/defoiliated plants. The trained and defoiliated plants always yield better. Right now im at an average of 11.6 grams a piece in 3/4 of a gallon containers, in a 1000 watt bare bulb vert set-up. In the past i have grown ounce plants and better in my 3/4 gal pots, and i'm sure this time i had some that were right there, i just didn't keep track of seperate plant weight.
And your damn skippy you can't beat nearly free meds, this grow all i had invested was the light bill and my time. I love being able to pay all my bills for the month in one day!!!!!

I miss being able to pay all of my bills in one day... Good thing bigger harvests are coming, because I'm good at spending money...
Looking good Arminius! A lot better than how things look from a roof I'm sure.
Monday will be day 70 for the USD, and I am having second thoughts about the chop date. There are still new calyx growth. I have enough on my plate for Monday as it is, and every day = more weight. I would rather meet with my "investor" and pick up 2k of equipment, after I get the girls trimming the HK#1 room.
Thanks! Yes, I have not had to put a roof on for 6 months, and it feels good. Still putting my body through it, but the new "distraction" is a massage therapist...
How are those modified blumats working? Do you think maxis in #2 would work? I am contemplating going to an amended soil and just run water on the blumats. Removing the task of constantly transferring water, and mixing juice, would be a huge labor saver.

I bought some of megaburbank's usd/sk1 accidental cross in hopes of finding something similar to your usd. Everything looks awesome, a usual.
Dry weights are in on the Sis. As I expected, the two untrained plants came in significantly less. Both combined were 108g, just barely more that the largest one. This strain can really produce a lot if suckers.
Here is a shot showing the difference in bud size; not even close...
Even after only a couple days cure, she smokes very nice.

The HK room is harvested, and drying on racks.
The trim party was definitely entertaining to say the least! I ducked out for the night to stay with my new girlfriend. Came back with mimosas and breakfast for them as they finished up. I was late, and they found the rum... Took them a little longer to finish as a result haha! Good thing they don't get paid hourly...

My gf gave me $2,800 to invest before she spent it, so I did lol... If needed, there is 3k more available.
Picked up $500 in soil and amendments so I can transplant my outdoor crop, as well as 2 more lights for the Sis Room. Installed them this morning, and did some training.
This room is going to be fucking insane! And it's only half full...
Still a week or so left on stretch, but I already have flower set, which is about a week earlier than last run.

Back to work! There is a shit ton to do now...
