First day 12/12.
I hope I set my timer correctly. Math is hard especially with the time change.
No pics because it was all business today and I didnāt take any.
Some obvious but minor N def but I will just boost feed and rip off the ugly bits to make myself feel better. Itās really not that bad though.
I have a suspicion they are rootbound again. Something else I will correct in short order.
There is a strong vegetal smell but it doesnāt smell like weed.
Temps are high and humidity is low.
All the best.

Good day all:
Itās been a busy one. Today I decided to defoliate and tie down a little instead of uppotting. They were getting bushy and as long as I keep up with the water and nutes they should be fine like this for awhile. Iāll do it next week once the plants will keep their twisted shapes.
Hereās an OG example:
Before:
After:
I culled the sour strawberry. The blue tara and the OG are happy with what I have been giving them but the strawberry was looking pretty unhappy. Maybe it has different pH needs. I donāt know. I just kept the ones that seem to like the way they are being treated rather than having to play catch up all the time.
I pulled a little too hard and split the main stem. I tied it back up with scotch tape:
And just for fun hereās a snap of some root balls:
All the best and have a good day.

Good day all:
Today is day 10 from flip and everything is progressing nicely.
The Blue Tara has interesting pale purple colouration of the stems.
The OG has remained short and stout and the Blue Tara has stretched and is quite lanky. I have put the OG on a shoebox to keep the canopy of uniform height.
OG:
Tara:
I still havenāt done the final transplant and should really get on that.
Cheers and all the best

Thanks guys!
A few notes *
I will be switching over to bloom ferts very soon. Partly because the time is right and partly because Iām going to run dry on the veg ferts. My measuring syringe canāt reach the liquid so Iāve been pouring it from the bottle and measuring by eye.
The only reason Iām going to transplant is because I donāt like watering them every 1-2 days. A 3 gallon pot should turn that into 3-4 days which is much more manageable.
I raised the light. The stretch brought them to 12ā and I changed it to 15ā which sounds about right.
Thanks for looking.

Does mrs foreigner still have wet darkroom equipment? Thatās what i use to measure nutes and theyāre getting used again!

Now that you mention it I do have a graduated cylinder that I could use. Itās moot though because Iām switching over to bloom ferts and I like to use the syringe (even though the markings on it are pretty faded.)

i pour from the bottle to a solo cup then use my syringe,hoping to avoid cross cantamination

Iāve been tilting the bottle and sucking the liquid from the shoulder but the bottle is too empty for that now.
Looking back on the chaos of the last year Iām glad I bought this fertilizer in bulk. Iāve used a gallon of bloom. It was the last purchase I made from a brick and mortar.

Yeah i made a full cell file with calculations with all my nutes and feeding schedule for when i built my RDWC system so I could ensure having enough at one time for a single grow. Told me i needed to buy some parts in gal, others in litres.

Thatās got to good for tracking/planning. For me I deal mostly with $ math. A litre is $35 and a gallon is $80. I use PBP which is a bit on the pricey side so the bulk sells itself.
I kind of guess by eye how much to feed at any given time rather than follow the directions. Some plants are perfectly happy at half strength and some need full strength. It just depends. If Iām running low Iāve also been known to cheap out a little.
Iāve also got some miracle grow I can use for emergencies/bad planning on my part. Iām pretty sure theyāre made by the same company anyway.

My calculations are based on the suggested ml/l, but iāve always ended up using much less as iām monitoring my PPMs and only adding what is needed. Trip Tonic is 45$/gal for a/b veg or flower as its sold directly from the manufacturer. Iāve ended up with 2 grows per batch order where the orderās volume is based on my excel maths. It stretches so far because my calculations are based on a full res change, so i need much less topping off than full change outs.

Hereās a better look at the Blue Tara and the purplish/pinkish/blueish hue of the stems. When I look at it now the pictures donāt do it justice
The main stem has stretched above the canopy but Iāve shoved it over to the side of the tent where the light is the weakest so it should be ok.
Iām seriously considering switching my exhaust fan out in favour of an Infinity Cloudline. Itās getting old.

Good day all:
So things are finally squared away. I still have to do my final transplant into the 3 gallons but everything looks good and guess what? -
LEGAL! Crazy I know.
So Iāve got 2 OGer and 2 Blue Tara.
Hereās an overview shot:
Hereās the OGer:
And hereās the Blue Tara:
Everything looks good and Iām pleased with where I am at this stage in the game.
Itās time to just put my head down and full speed ahead.
Thanks for looking and all the best.

Thanks hardroc and welcome!
Iām pleased that they look as good as they do - they were treated very poorly for a good portion of veg. Itās remarkable how resilient they are. Iāve ripped off some ugly leaves for aesthetic effect.
Other than transplanting the only other thing I can think of to do is tie down one of the Taraās so she bends effectively around the fan.
Please enjoy the ride!
