#2 1240 ml in, 70 ml out (6%) 2045 ppm (Much higher from not getting enough runoff or infrequent watering)

I added an additional 500 ml to each plant to flush out the extra salts. I could have gotten away with 250 ml each.

Thank you Furcifer. I'm using @Prescription Blend. I mentioned them in my update I posted Friday. I don't mention them in every post but I mention them a couple times a week.

Thanks, that's why they are looking so green and vibrant!
My lazy azz could have gone back and looked!

Daily Update

Stage - Veg Day 34 - 22 Days since topping - 48 days above ground

Happy Sunday

After the photos I did some normal trimming today with extra attention on the smaller branches that won't reach the canopy. Not all of the side branches will remain. The main branch on #2 that was accidently beheaded has very few side branches that will make it. The beheading slowed the branches down even though there are now two heads I will loose a few side branches. This is not a big issue since I have to cull some more smaller branches so the other have room to grow.

Today's Data

Today I started two watering/feedings a day. The watering last night still produced too much runoff with only 500 ml input. My aim is to be between 10% and 20% leaning towards the 20% end.

The @Prescription Blend Nutrient Solution is still per the Veg instructions with Core A and B increased by 20%. I have been using the slightly higher solution for over a week and the plants seem to be handling it. There is very slight tip burning which is not a bad thing. Cal-Mag @ 4 ml per gal and Terpinator @ 7 ml per gal was also added.

Last Night: Solution input total 1525 ppm. (1115 ppm nutrients) Ph 6.3
#1 500 ml in, 145 ml out (29%) 1665 ppm output.
#2 500 ml in, 155 ml out (31%) 1700 ppm output

Morning: Solution input total 1536 ppm. (1126 ppm nutrients) Ph 6.4
#1 870 ml in, 120 ml out. (14%) 1774 ppm out
#2 850 ml in, 160 ml out. (19%) 1719 ppm out

Both plants had good numbers this morning. I am not surprised by the high runoff last night since I intentionally over saturated the pots earlier in the day.

Today's Outside temperatures: High of 112° F (44° C) with Rh going to 6%. New forecast has temp highs around 120°F (49°C) all next week. Time to stay in, drink bear and get stoned.

All caught up again Brett! Great updates over the past week. They are so full and their foliage is magnificent! I need to get into my canopy on #1 some more and do some secondary topping I think. Plus I need to start the quadline on one of them. Haa haaa. Need to get that all figured out.

Daily Update

Stage - Veg Day 35 - 23 Days since topping - 49 days above ground

Another week of Veg is in the books. That makes 5 weeks so far which was my original goal. I would say I am still a few days out from flipping. Quadlining will slow down the growth by about 3 to 4 days overall extending the Veg period out a bit.

Most of the branches are at canopy level. Well they are now. I removed 8 branches from #2 and 2 branches from #1 that would not have made it to the top. I still have over 24 branches (future colas) on #2 and about the same on #1 which is more than I expected. I was shooting for 16 on each plant with a limit of 24 so there would be enough space for each cola. Because of the very tight nodal space, some branches had to be removed.

I am very happy with the growth of the GSC seeds from @Weed Seeds Express. With the combination of the Demon light by @Budget LED and the nutrients from @Prescription Blend the growth has been more than I anticipated. And to think I was originally going to have three plants in the tent.
