FYI to anyone using Floraflex, or planning on trying it, I have been sticking to a half dose of the week 1, V1 and 2 nutes schedule pretty much all through veg and I am seeing zero issues so far. So that is 2 grams of each per gallon. I do occasionally add a little cal mag at 1 teaspoon per gallon, and silica at the same dose. I have CaliMagic calmag, and botanicare silica for the record because that is what I have. And I maybe add it once a week, at most. No longer using Recharge at all.
As I suspected, you can run 4 grams of each V 1/2 and the plants will handle it (mostly), but it tends to be a waste of nutes. I'm experimenting more on the Bloom nutes on AMR a little, to see if I can cut back on waste there.
Once I see the plant go into preflower, I'm upping the V 1/2 nutes to 3 grams each per gallon to give an extra juice boost. That may or may not have any effect, but I'm rolling with it.
If you're wondering why my CFM bars are all over the place in the 4x4 post above, well, I'm using them to hold and tie fruits down to allow light to other areas. They work great for that, and scrog nets too if that's your thing. Another FYI -the Lite Line CFM bars DO fit a number of other tents and are cheap. I have tried them on my old Vivosun 8x4 and another cheap 4x2 I have and they fit perfectly. Dunno about the CFM bars in my standard Gorilla, those are 19mm.
Anyway, speaking of standard Gorilla. Here is the 4x2 update before I get back to work:
Glue Sniffer - 24 days old - 5 gallon. Welp, at least they are consistent. A ball of leaves. At least this one is staying upright. I did top her a couple days ago. Other than that, I'm leaving her be until it shows some signs of flower, then I'll (try to) sort it out. I feel like this strain sort of wants to be left to do it's thing until flower otherwise it'll stunt. Not sure how big she will end up. She may live out her days in the 4x2? But I'm thinking going forward that I'll be using the remaining seeds for outdoor adventures? We shall see. As you can see, she has a ton of interior growth, which again, I'm leaving be for now and until this plant tells me what she wants in preflower and begins her "stretch" whatever that may be. I can hear the OCD voices in my head. But I'm leaving her be. Been there done that. Whatever canopy training and clearing that needs to be done will reveal itself in time. This plant appears like it will stunt if you look at it wrong. YMMV/IMHO, etc. etc..
Jean-O What's My Name - 16 days - 7 gallon. In her second week of life, she's starting to take on the look I like. I believe she will be strong. Willy won't eat this one. Just starting to give her a little feed now. She likes to consume most of what is in the pot before the media is wet again. I let the top layer go dry before feeding again. No watering the coco till runoff until the plant tells me it's time! The HORROR!
And baby Mephisto Mango Smile - 2 days - 7 gallon. She's just a Lil Babbbbyyyyy. I didn't pack down the soil hard enough when I buried the seed. And she was born with a full helmet. Not just a seed casing stuck to a leaf. A full helmet. Hate it when that happens. But after a little delicate surgery, she appears to be ok. That's all I got. Hope everyone has a good day.
