Successful transition into the flowering stage. Switched off the Mars Hydro Adlite Blue bars and fully engaged the Adlite Deep Red bars alongside the main fixture (85%) and low-level side lighting to trigger the stretch phase. Canopy was trained under the trellis net using LST, resulting in 6–8 uniform shoots per plant rising vertically.
Increased irrigation volume to 1.2 L per pot to secure a steady 10–20% runoff, successfully preventing salt accumulation. Stepped up feed concentration to EC 2.1 and pH 6.0, supplemented with ATOMIK Amino for stress relief and mineral chelation. The root zone is thriving with runoff measuring at pH 5.6–5.8 and EC 1.7. Environment dialed in at 28.5 °C, 61% RH, VPD ~1.48 kPa, and CO₂ at ~1100 ppm. All tops are praying with dense pistil development.
Day 31 Rising EC to 2.3 ph 6.2.
1.5 liter every morning in 11l pots. Coco perlit 70:30
Day 31 (Flower Day 4): Lowering PPFD to 630 (45dli)µmol/m²/s worked wonders, with leaves now actively praying and bud sites stacking rapidly. Fed 7L (EC 2.4, pH 6.3) with ~15% runoff testing at EC 2.0–2.3 and pH 5.5–5.9, confirming perfect uptake and zero salt buildup. Dialed the microclimate by routing the text{CO}_2 tube directly under the canopy with a PC fan for laminar lift, and set the S16 under-canopy bars to level 5.
