Thanks GDB.
Great questions. Once most/all of the stigma have a crink on the tips and they start to turn orange/brown they're starting to mature. For DLI, I try to follow this chart for autos:Mind a question?
How do gauge when to start? When you think they're 2 weeks out?
What is "slightly" with regard to lowering the DLI?
You phase out your nutrients?
Did I say "a" question?
So, lowering the VSF6450 from 50% to 45% lowered the average DLI from 45 to 40-42 DLI. I'll lower it again at the end of the week, either by changing the intensity to 40% or possibly dropping the schedule down from 18/6 to 16/8.
As the DLI goes down the nutrients need to go down as well. Right now I'm using 5G of flower nutrients watered down with 1G of water (1000ppm -> 850ppm). The next time I mix up nutrients I'll scale them down. I think I'll keep the SC & MgS where they are and scale down the base MC. This will keep the K around 200 while lowering everything. I'm thinking 4.5MC+1SC+.5MgS=108N-56P-202K-104Ca-53Mg-74S.
This is still a work in progress, though, as I still get way too many long-running plants and late-flower nanners. I'm trying to keep them healthy while still not pushing them too hard late in flower.
with the flush! What was the reason you backed off on the nutes?
