Maintenance done. Did another pretty big trim, removed a few more crowded branches, and did a full water change & system cleaning.
New soup is half my veg mix, half bloom mix - this is about what I'd be running if I had done my usual 50% water change instead of the full dump.
Dimmed the light to about half - gonna go back up to about 1000ppfd over the next couple days.
They were about 11" before the haircut, so they seem to be putting on about 1/3 of an inch per day now. The trim brought them back down of course...

Back up to ppfd of 700 this morning. Looking good and resuming stretch - we're back to 11" already. I actually have the reds turned down a bit compared to when we were putting down ppfd of 950.
I'll also note that the burning/deficiency-ing I had hasn't shown on any of the newer growth. Nice.

Thanks dude! Pretty happy with how they are shaping up so far - hopefully no big surprises in the next 2 weeks.

Hey @Or_Gro I thought you might find something I've noticed interesting.
So running the Emersons during stretch has certainly increased stretchiness, but the effect has been much more pronounced on the lateral growth on each main than on the mains themselves...
I'm gonna stop them for the rest of the stretch and see how we do.

shaded parts had a higher % of far red to red resulting in bigger shade avoidance potential, makes sense...after thinking about it

Still looking good this morning, although I am starting to get anxious about the fact that I have not seen any pistils showing yet... Today marks 11 full days since the flip - wondering if/when I should panic or go to 12:12 instead of continuing with 13.5:10.5...
(@Or_Gro if you have some knowledge you can lay down I'd be glad to hear it)
I referred back to my notes and pictures from the Crimea Blue grow - looks like the evidence of flowers started showing up around day 12 or so... Hopefully I'll see something by this weekend.

Oh yeah - getting some good stretch now! 12" today which means they put on ~0.5" since yesterday. Gonna have to clean up a few laterals this weekend, but the density of foliage at this point is still pretty good from the standpoint of fueling the plants well w/o obstructing airflow...

The h2o2 rinse was a success! After the typical pH swing immediately after changing the solution, it has been drifting slowly and predictably - maybe 0.1 per day instead of 0.5+ per day. Very glad to have that fixed before bloom goes full-tilt on me!

Starting to look like something's going on in here - the good kind of something. 12.5" today
Gonna do a water change tomorrow and start adding the bloom booster to my soup. Probably do a light trim and cull a few more branches too, before too much energy is invested in stuff we aren't gonna keep.
