After 2nd net defol will be hardercould do that, have one of these generic huge holes growshop nets unused which ican quickly apply.
maybe a big defoil first or?

I wonder if continued N will slow down the speed of fade and maintain that chlorophyl green closer to end weeks? Right now all seems good for you. Lets see how it goes with your chosen regime. Love the ex-runt back right of tent.good question, still have a bit to play there.
atm i go lower with the nitrogen.
meaning, less Calcium Nitrate, about 4.5g a 10l,
try to get it below 100ppm N,
Calcium level is always similar to nitrogen (slight higher, simply calcinit on RO water).
i give almost 7g 5-20-30 basesalt a 10l, to have about 60ppm phoshor and about 150ppm K.
magnesium wise i try to get a way with a value below 50ppm, but not sure if that good or bad.
not sure at which point i use some MKP, i normally use it in low doses, about a g a 10l.
basically 1:1 basesalt with calcinit and a bit more then half of the calcnit as epsom worked good for transition.
i think bugbee is saying give 120ppm nitrogen always, 120 is a good value for veg for sure, just not sure if its needed in flower.
he recommend 20-10-20 all the time at a EC of 1.35 with 0.4 from his Tap Water.
He is also the opinion our plants dont need that much P.
thats for sure a good basic orientation i always try to keep his infos in my backhead at least.
my EC isnt much higher f.e. atm and i gave mostly around 120ppm nitrogen so far.
You could use 2 or 4 ft. strips?About to pull the trigger on 100 of these 1 ft EB3 strips. Any reason I shouldn't?
How much of that ppfd is blue or uv?View attachment 4598803
900ppfd, or 200w mainlight, 20W 660nm reds and 63W buddies are too much light for my plants.
i went for some days to 210W mainlight to test and it accelerated the bleaching.
the usual bleaching is setting in, have to reduce the light intensity.
technically it shouldnt be too much light, but it is.
Temps are fine beeing 27-29C, beeing quite low this time with the EC, 1.3 in, about 1.5 out,
feeding them with sane nutrient ratios.
Airflow is good, quite some fresh air, Co2 PPM therefore just the ambient 450ppm.
The bleaching should become better when i go lower with the watts,
as always, just having problems to accept it, 700ppfd should work, 800 idk, 900 too much allready.
Not expecting my flowers to take 1200qmol, but a 800 average and maybe a good 900 at a top would b nice.
the fixture shouldnt give much more then 650ppfd if we say the whites and 660nm together give 3 qmol a watt.
Plus the absolute realistic 120ppfd from the teknink buddies makes 770ppfd, not even 800ppfd for the sqaure meter.

takes a few days till they bleach, but you can bleach them.
tricky is they dont drop anymore from oversaturation like in veg, where the drop was a good inidcator.
