Heyhey, y’all.
WEEDnesday, back again. Time to kick the end of the week/end into high gear and get ready to put my whole face back on the grindstone. Hope everyone had a great week, in and out of the garden, and plenty of head-stash, to see that you floated through any bastards getting in the way of being great.
Things were a little less hectic here over the week- I was set on making time to at least attempt giving these girls a real good clean-up, and for that being the biggest gardening goal of the week, feel pretty alright about it. Don’t get me wrong- 
It’s still a whole lot of chaos cookin’ in there. But things feel more managed. Remember “cleaning” your room when you were a kid? …yeah. …yeeah.
The WWxBB girls got the bulk of the attention for haircuts, with #AK getting some mid-level middle canopy defoliation, a proper excising of all the “crunchy bits” as @JustTieflingThings calls dead lowers, and a general untangling. #JL also got a mid-level defol, though less focused. Both have responded beautifully, and are really shaping into some (much later than expected) lovely mid-sized bushes at just over 3’ or so. Good looking dense structure, thick branching, and really sweet smelling- Very bubblegum. As the light is now hitting them with nearly 800 PPFD and almost 55 DLI over 18 hours, we will likely begin to dim the light slightly over the next few weeks, though we may give them this last week’s burst as it stands. Honestly, I’m more interested to see what happens with the Rainbow Kush as we start to dial things down.
RK #KJ is my favorite of our girls at the moment. She’s fading on us, still visibly packing onto already fist-sized top buds through out her well-trained branches. Lowers and interiors are developing nicely, as well. @JustTieflingThings was in the driver’s seat for most of training this girl, and she did a GREAT job- pushed her plenty far enough to see more of what we want, but not so far as to wind up triggering whatever the hell is happening to our little monster on the other side. … 
[Damn. Two near-duplicate pictures in that collage. I wish I had caught that two hours ago. Sorry y’all. Blame the hash.]
KUSHOFF CONTENDER RK #SL is still… doing whatever the hell she wants. At this point, I feel like I’m largely running interference against her on behalf of the other plants. I Just don’t know about this one- while it seems like the WALL OF BUDS is alive and showing some signs of advancing, I’m still thinking she just has too much going on at once. I’m not sure what’ll end up happening here, but I’m happy to be along for the ride.
Feeding was a little different this week- We saw a heavier slide to the bottom of our acceptable pH Range through out the past week, so, thinking on our feet this week, skipped out our usual 20ml pH Down adjustment before adding nutrients. We are currently sitting at the high end of our pH Range because of this, but predict that this will land us steadily in the 6.2-6.0 ballpark through the week (without adjustment) as opposed to the drop towards 5.9-5.7 we saw last week. This should make more available our target nutrients.

RK #KJ is doing great. RK #SL is a strange case. She seems to have overburdened herself with a spectacular amount of bud sites. It’s hard to tell if efforts to reposition and support her have been helpful. Both WWxBB defoliated and pruned this week with great results, and really taking off, especially #JL.
Lights have not been changed this week. Delivering a DLI of 44-55 at the canopies of the WWxBB, ~650-750ppfd. We will likely begin dialing this back this week.
No change in LIGHT Feed Schedule per General Hydroponics this week. Solution level dropped from 31cm-21.5cm in the past week, nearly identical to the week before. No pH adjustment throughout the week again. Res temp averaged ~71 * F Results at pH 6.5 74.5 * F and ~855ppm or ~1.72 EC.
More wrestling probes out of foliage this week, skewing data. Canopy spot measurements have been weighted to account for this starting this week. Averages of 74.26 * F, 58% RH, and 0.92 kPa VPD Leaf surface temperatures taken at -3 to -4 * F on average.

That’ll wrap this week from our garden to yours. Here’s hopin’ all the best for the days between now and next time, from us to all you and yours. Thanks as always for dropping by, and all the encouragement and interest. Keep it light and keep 'em lit, y’all.
