Hey Guys and Gals, I have a question for the community of roll it up!!
I am a fairly experienced grower and have now decided I want to experiment with aggressive mainlining techniques. My Aim is 4 plants with a total of 3 toppings leaving me with just 32 main colas and NO shitty side shoots.
Now my question to you guys is between the first topping and the final topping, due to the mass eradication of foliage and side shoots do you dial back your EC/PPM values and if so by roughly how much?
From experience I'm guessing the EC value at 6 nodes high is going to be approximately 1.2/1.4 or around 650/750 ppm (0.5 scale) also I know this is strain dependent before the cannabis nazi's start.
For those of you interested set up is
Root riot cubes
Heated propagator
1 ltr (1/4 us gal) fabric pots
3 ltr (3/4 us gal) air pots
20 ltr (4.5 us gal) air pots
2m(6.6ft) (L) x 1m(3.3ft) (W) x 1.8m(6ft) tent
2 x 250 m3/h (820 ft3/h) 4 inch
2 x rhino pro carbon filters 4 inch
Acoustic ducting 4 inch
2 fan silencers 4 inch
2 x SF2000
1 x SF1000
Canna Coco professional 70%
Perlite 30%
6 inch inlet from outside (filtered)
Small humidifier
Small dehumidifier
Home made CO2 generators may switch to premade bags not sure yet
2 x 1m (3.3ft) x 1m (3.3ft) catch trays
Blue lab EC
Blue lab PH
Soil moisture meter (guide purposes only)
Intake and room temp gauge
Hydrometer
Mist sprayer
2 x 30w 8inch pole mount fans
Watering can with rose
Hydroton for pot base 15mm (1/2 inch) thick
General bits i.e; nitrile gloves, snips etc.
Hanging heights
Seedlings 20 inches 1 x SF2000 dimmed 75%
Veg 18 inches 2 x SF2000 dimmed 75% and turned up gradually over a few days
Flower 12/15 inches 2 x SF 2000 and 1 x SF 1000 to cover the over lap (aiming for good DLI too)
Nutes
Generally mixed about 1/3 to 1/2 recommended strength.
Advanced nutrients
Connoisseur grow and bloom
Big bud
Bud candy
Unsulphured molasses
Bud ignitor
Bud factor x
Rhino skin
Flawless finish
Nirvana
Over drive
B52
Calmag

Multizyme
And some liquid bat guano.
My growing environment is around 50/60 percent RH with day temps between 19-22 and night temps 14/16 degrees C or 66-71 and 57-60 degrees F. Hard to do any better due to geographical location.
