Indoor Growing Scrog

I know it may be obvious but to give so much EC use an adequate light power, Deano has one of 125w at 100% at 30cm in each plant, We don't know the final DLI but for so much EC it has to be high

I measured this morning with Photone and diffuser.
240 watts, 2' x 4' tent, 30 cm ( 12 inches ) from lights to canopy.
About 750 PPFD, at 24/7 schedule, about 65 DLI.
These numbers would be slightly higher with the front of the tent closed.

Every time I've gently raised EC past General Hydroponics recommended 'Light Feeding Schedule', I've had nutrient burn. I don't know what I might be doing wrong. I'm going to follow your grow with interest in this regard since you've been successful with your EC previously.

Keep it at 1.2 -1.3 throughout the grow and you'll be fine.

Then jist stick with the light feed schedule no?

Most of these autos dont eat alot ( need alot of fertilizer)!

Yes sir, that's my plan this time. I spent a few days slowly upping my 24 day-olds from 1.1 to 1.2 EC.
One plant is OK with it, the other tells me it's too much. So she's back at 1.1 for the moment.

You will find with the more strains you grow that sone are super sensitive and some seem to not bat an eye and will drink and use anything you throw at em. Thats why its probably best practice to start light and work up slowly.

Day 18 and 15 for these ladies, EC 1.2, Ph6.

Day 24, FastBuds Lemon AK. FloraNova Grow, EC 1.1, pH 6.0. ~550 ppfd, ~48 dli, 24/7. Using 60 watts for this plant.
As I've mentioned: Fertigation 10 mins every 4 hours.
Sacrificed half a 4x4 Grodan cube to create a layer of fragments in the drain bin. Left 1/2" of bottom cube
exposed to the base layer. I moved a few of the base layer fragments to show root growth.
Base layer is filled with roots throughout. Moving the 'bend-over' stake as needed to keep the top horizontal.

Day 29, Dutch Passion Auto Power. Same conditions as her tent-mate, above.
Her branches are short. Decided to open her canopy up today with gentle stem bending,
to expose the new branch buds that were in almost total darkness and going nowhere fast.
Have also been plucking some top fan leaves every day.

Day 29, FastBuds Lemon AK. EC 1.2. pH 6.0. DLI ~45. FloraNova Grow, and a little silica.
Tucking and plucking as required. She's growing like crazy.
I up the nutes to 1.2 every evening, next morning they're around 1.14.
Let her top up yesterday, possibly should have done it sooner, it's about 2" below
the tallest branches, at around 1 o'clock position in the photo. No signs of pistils yet.
Still giving her 10 mins of fertigation every 2 hours.
