End of week 4: A couple days late but lots of growth this week. Topped all the plants around day 25. The last week is a bit of a blur due to illness. I did a very light defoliation. The fan leaves are huge and were blocking the new node branches creating condensation. I removed 4 fans from each plant.
These plants are hungry. I stepped up the strength carefully from 60% to 80%. Everyone was looking a bit pale so I increased to full strength and yet the runoff ppm were still below input. I have now increased to 125% strength.
