This Moonglow is a heavy eater. I fed her almost a gallon and a half yesterday since she had eaten up the last feed so quickly and I can see the top of the soil is already showing signs of dryness! I guess I shouldn't be surprised as she's growing pretty fast now. The Florida Strawberry is definitely trying to keep up with the MG but that MG is a crazy feeder!! Even the Big Fat Glue that was like the lonely step child has really stepped up and I'm seeing impressive growth rates.

It's hard to tell because of the angle but the MG is almost 2/3 of the way across the net. Even the clones are getting shaded by the MG!

Today I flipped the light schedule from 18/6 to 12/12 so today is technically day one of flower although I like to use the appearance of flower pistil to mark it as day one. I find doing it this way tends to match up closer to breeder claimed harvest time lines but we'll use today as the marker. Honestly, at least for me I don't really count the weeks as I go by trichome development to determine harvest time but the breeder timeline comes in handy to know when you're getting close.

I've upped the cal/mag around 25%, P(Phosphorous) at 50% and lowered K(Potassium) around 25% along with a 35% drop in N(Nitrogen).

I also pulled back the light intensity for transition to aid in more root development. The idea is to slow down vegetative growth and allow the hormonal changes to occur so that the plant can direct its energy to more root formation that will benefit flower formation once they start to show up. I'll keep it here for around a week and slowly ramp up light intensity every week until I hit week 6 or 7 then start to slowly reduce intensity for a couple weeks then let her coast to harvest. The increase in Cal/Mag and P should induce flowering faster and give it a good base to really build that flower structure since most flower is formed in the first 6 or 7 weeks of flower. It'll still continue to grow after week 6 - 7 just not at the same rate. I'll start raising K in week 5 and keep it there until harvest.

Net is really filling up! Is that a 5x5 or 4x4

5 x 5

Nice work that mg is gonna double in stretch

She already is!!! 😳 🤩

At Day 20 I'm going to do a hard defoliation and let her cruise to harvest after that. I have around 48" of vertical space from the net before I can't raise the light any higher. This includes leaving space between the tent roof and light for heat dispersion and around 18" light to top of flowers as my minimum height at harvest.

They're all stretching as we speak....even the BFG is blowing up. D20 defol should get everything set for blast off but compare the pic from 2 days ago! I'm dumping high PPM solutions into the soil and they keep coming back asking for more!! This isn't even taking into account the drop in PPFD that I did for the transition. Had I left the PPFD where it was at the whole canopy would probably be full!!! 🤭

The girls seemed to have shifted into overdrive because they are really growing fast! Great sign as I just flipped them a couple days ago.

Removed the clones so they don't flip and have them under temporary light before things start to warm up here in the next day of so then they're going outside except for one of each that I'll keep for mothers. I'll need to set up something more permanent for them but for now this will have to suffice.

Raised the light intensity from 45,000/DLI 25 to 50,000/DLI 28 Lux. Next week I'll raise it another 5,000 lux to DLI 30.

The BFG is really growing fast along with FS and MG but BFG won the growth contest this week. March 8th, which is 12 days away, will be the day I do a hard defol but the under foliage is already getting pretty full and I'm getting a little apprehensive about keeping them in such a high humidity environment with as much foliage as there is currently. I've been diligent, as always, about checking for pests or disease and, so far, the fates are on my side. Hopefully that continues until I get to D20.

I had just finished hand watering them when I took this picture so the leaves look a little wilty.
