3/3/16 - Day 27
pH via A8 = 6.5
AM: Applied neem solution (1/2 tbs/pint water) to entire plant, top and bottom leaf surfaces, until dripping off everywhere.
PM: Applied about 1/8 inch layer of diatomacious earth to medium surface and worked into surface. Applied additional skim layer over the top and put in 4 sticky traps.
Fed 2 liters RO water plus 2 1/2 ml FloroKleen, pH raised to 6.4, got 1 liter runoff.
Runoff = 1127 ppm and 5.9 pH. Note the medium pH of 6.5 compared to runoff pH of 5.9. Runoff pH means nothing.
3/6/16 - Day 30
Applied neem solution, again until dripping from all surfaces.
3/7/16 - Day 31
Fed 2 liters of 2 ml/L each of Grow A &B, 2 ml/L CalMagic, 1 ml/L B52, Rhino Skin, and Carboload. pH adjusted to 6.3. No runoff.
She is looking good, despite the early on thrip infestation. I have not noticed any additional thrip feeding since beginning treatment. Done with the LST for now, just going to let her grow now without any restraints. It looks like the canopy is going to develop nicely. Here are pics from today, Day 31.
