Eleven days since 12/12 flip. Plants have stretched to 45” above soil, 16” above top net. I zip-tied the light to the top bar of the tent. That’s as high as it can go, so if there’s much more stretching, I will need to supercrop.

15 days from flip. Left GDP plant has wide leaves. Showing her girl-ness, but not buttons yet. Right hand GDP plant has narrow leaves. Definitely buttons. Stretching about 1.5 inches a day over the last four days. I mark the height on the back wall of the tent.

24 days since flip. Stretch ended a week ago with both plants about 54” above soil. I squeezed my light a bit closer to the tent ceiling, so the highest tops are 6” from the light. Next grow I will veg fewer weeks or train more.
I removed all leaves and buds below the first net (17” above soil). Above the first net, older leaves are a healthy green color, but new leaves and branch tips are very pale green. Above the second net (29” above soil) looks great. I think I will lollipop everything below the second net this weekend.

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since flip. Not much work or worry expected until harvest. My fertigation timer is set for 4 watering a day.
I mix nutes every other day. My current formula is 4 gallons rainwater, 5ml silica, 8ml CalMag, 7.0g A, 2.0g Epsom, 4.7g B. Input PH/EC/PPM is 6.3/1072/536, which I think is less acidic and weaker than most grows.
On past grows, I measured the silica with a calibrated shot glass and later a calibrated pipette. But the silica leaves a thick white residue which I never figured out how to clean off. Now I just assume 1g=1ml and I weigh doses in a cheap plastic cup.
Runoff from yesterday was left 5.5/1844/922 and right 5.2/1926/963. About a pint each.
