Here we are ~14 days into flower, and I'm fuckin stoked... Lil budlets are starting form, and I have many, many beautiful healthy 12-18in. long ECSD colas getting bathed in the light of the HPS... Since the stretch should be winding down soon, and Im starting to increase my dosage of pk with the koolbloom liquid I'll go ahead and clean up a lot of the undergrowth to get rid of what would be popcorn over the next few days. I found over time that it's best to wait till most of the stretch is through before doing so. Allowing more energy to the tops early during the stretch is not such a good idea for a fellow overgrower like myself LOL..
Overgrown or not I'm pleased with how they are coming along.. If I can continue on keeping them healthy, and fill out these buds as I hope to, I think I'll be pulling a nice yield when all is said and done
I went ahead and took the extra reflector off my cooltube the other day (still has an inner). This allows me to keep the cooltube within inches of the tops, and allows for a lot more light to be kicked out of the tube horizontally which should be great for getting the most out of those long 12-18in shoots. I find you get a smaller light footprint with the cooltubes over a horizontal plane, but if you can use them in this fashion it's not so bad at all
I can deal with about another foot and a half of stretch before I'd have to raise the light to the ceiling, and start pinching/bending some branches. Hehe I actually bent a branch of tw this morning, not remembering I had the fucking plant sitting on two pots.. doh!! It's all good though, It wont even phase her..
Last two days I fed them 5ml of flornova bloom, 2.5ml of cal/mag+, 5ml of florilicious bloom, and 5ml per gallon of koolbloom.. PPM about 750.. With the way things are going I'll prolly leave the fnb and calmag where they're at (seems like a good base), and hit them with 5-10ml of koolbloom, and floralicius bloom when it suits them.. Late flower I'll scrap the calmag to lower my N dosage slightly, and push the koolbloom to my maximum ~10ml per gallon. Last 2 weeks pure water flush... Hard to plan ahead with never using the fnb before, but it sounds like a good plan to me for now... Really not to far off gh's drain to waste keep it simple dosages though they recomend to reaise the fnb instead of uping the koolbloom.. The n levels late flower concern me a bit, so I figured reversing may be the right way to go..

Lets see how the light looks
Check out all those tops
This what I call the Mr Postman sea of green... mr. postman sea of green = overrown fucking space LMAO..

Well, I totally fucked up and let the rez overflow during a routine nute change. Soaked the damn place and got one hell of a shock from the aeroflo rez. it perplexes me a bit as a shock directly from the rez doesnt make sense. it sets up on wood 2x4s and the only electric into the rez is the submersible pump. Idk... ive gotten shocked before during leaks and all, once it drys up the danger goes away..lol. So, we'll see..
