No real update today, we watered them 3 times, but with the middle watering we gave an extra dose of calmag at 1ml/L just to make sure they are getting enough calmag because runoff keeps being low.

I'm calling total BS, tell me what they're 'breaking down' then?
Enzymes assist with bioavailability, especially for growers using nutrients chelated with organic acids.
Tons of growers use products like SLF-100 to leech their coco. This is pretty basic stuff so I'm not sure what it is you're "calling bullshit on"

EC : 1.2
Video update :

Again not a real update, I lowered the lights back to 50% because I want to give them same conditions in week 4, and I will change at start of week 5.
Today we gave same feed as yesterday, and changed 1 feed with an extra calmag dose (we left out the nirvana, b52 and bud candy, and replaced with 1ml/L of calmag).
Almost all the girls are in pre-flower, just a few are left behind, hoping they will be there by the end of week 4, so we can switch nutes.

Video update :

A sad day today, we snapped 1 girl during the LST, I literally broke off her main cola, she was still hanging by just a thread. I put some ducktape around her, hoping that she will recover, however I doubt that very much.
We will see by tonight or tomorrow if there is any chance of her healing the branch, but we atleast set her back by 3-5 days. Which sucks big time :(
All the others got another tie down, and only 5 girls left to show their gender. So yeah, very sad day today.

Water : 400ml of nutrient mix three times a day
EC : 1.2
Video update :

Today we made the decision to cut of the broken stem that we snapped yesterday while doing LST, she was hit to hard, and it wasnt worth it for the plant putting her energy in something that won't heal anyway. So this way we can also see a small experiment of what would happen if we top an autoflower :) We are still sticking to the schedule where we feed 3 times a day, but the last feed is a feed with extra calmag instead of nirvana/bud candy/b52

The plant we topped, doesn't seem to have any stunting in growth, as a matter of fact she is growing at the same pace as u she was doing before, so I think they can handle it?
Today I also changed my humidifier setup, so I can have more room in my tent. It needs some more tweaking, but the base is there :) as usual we feed twice a day the formula down below, and last feed the b52/nirvana/budcandy get replaced by 0,5ml/L of calmag.

Today we entered our fifth week, and all girls are showing their pistols except for 1. We intensified the lights to 75% (average of 30.000LUX) and still at 60cm from canopy. We switched to bloom nutrients, and introduced TARANTULA, BUD FACTOR X & SENSI COCO BLOOM A/B. We also did some LST again, and I tried supercropping 2 girls to see as an experiment. So big update today! Also our root growth is EXPLOSIVE its insane.

We did alot of LST again, and I also did some defoliation at the bottom of a few girls. It was very hard to water them because of the leaves, so they had to go. Now its much cleaner.
We also upped the nutrients a little to 1.3EC twice a day, and the last watering again with Calmag instead of bud candy/b52/nirvana (@ 1.2EC)

Video update :

Today we spend most of our time figuring out to get even distribution on the dripping system without success, so I ordered some pressure regulated valves hoping it will solve my problem. Other than that, I started doing some LST again and some heavy defoliation on 6 of the girls. There were so many leaves that it was hard to water them, and they were so stacked, that it was compressing some budsites. However in the process of doing that, I broke another main cola of of reference plant, broke off 3-4 nodes. Its sad, but nothing we can do about it now. We still feed them 3 times a day, with the last feed being a calmag feed.

Video update :

Today we gave another 6 girls a big trim. We did alot of LST/HST/DEFOLIATION on these 6 girls. They can handle it without a problem. We also had our first day without run-off. The girls are starting to drink more, so we have to give a bigger amount of water during each feed from now on. I will up the watering amount from 300ml to 500ml per plant, 3 times a day. We still keep our last feeding as a CalMag feeding.

Today we defoliated our last 6 girls. The first 6 girls we did are fully recovered and again packed with leaves, and the ones from yesterday are also again fully bushed!
I'm really starting to see the stretch now. Today we only defoliated the last 6 girls, and I made a contraption to get the heater elevated in the tent and out of the way.

Today I trimmed away a few leaves, fixed my heater position and found out, that EC is very low in run-off. Also 1 plant is starting to show signs of calmag issues, so the last feed of the day I gave them at a higher PH (6.1) instead of the normal 5.8ph.
Hopefully that solves our problem in the morning.

Today we upped our EC from 1.3 to 1.4. We also increased the nutrients Rhino skin, Senzizym, Tarantula, Piranha & Bud Factor X to 1.5ml/L and we added a new nutrients called Big Bud Coco. We also increased lighting to 100% today.
However we are seeing some weird coagulation in our solution after adding big bud coco & bud factor x...is one of these maybe bad?

Today we tried installing the irrigation system, which again had alot of setbacks, but 1 got 1 side of the tent to work atleast now. They feed anywhere between 500-800ml a plant now depending on the size. So I really need this irrigation system setup asap.
I also made 1 mistake today, when I was mixing the nutes, and watered my girls, I forgot to check EC, and therefor I gave them one watering at very high 1.7EC which I hope will get solved tomorrow.
