bonsai mums coming along slowly. Just a learning project this, for if I come accross something special in the future.

Day 14 of flower. ferts per litre: 1ml grow, 2ml bloom, 7ml fulvates elixir. Next sunday 20ml humates/litre. Overwatered 4L per pot last time, took 4 days till next water so today 3L per pot. soil ph: 6.5 to 6.8 any advice on humates/fulvates in ff classic soil? Looking at what's in the soil I assumed these would be helpful but I don't want to overdo it. mandarin cookies pineapple express glue bruce banner blueberry hashplant super cheese

Air movement. messed about with placement of fans. I'm not sure about these box fans... they blow a lot of wind but they're quite powerful for under the plants. I've got a couple of lithium fans coming to test out. My feeling at the moment is that: a) running just the extractor during loadshedding is not enough, the air won't be circulating in the canopy enough and b) I'd rather have 8 X 5v fans with battery backup than one 40v fan. Cost is obviously an issue but i was blown away (pardon me:-) by how much difference the little fans made in circulating passive intake air under and up through the canopy.

man, getting your environment sorted requires more work and money than I had anticipated. I've now put environment ahead of growing for this cycle... still learning on the grow but these plants have been stressed by a number of things: some understandable mistakes, some stupid mistakes and some inexplicable decisions have been made! One of my favourite things to do is break out the Mighty for a little lift and then do the days grow work so that probably explains a lot. My concern now is that I'm pretty sure I've got a case of light stress. Initially the plants reacted really poorly to the light being lowered. I had another go in late veg, dropping them 50-100mm each day. Got the light down to 600mm but that was before a few colas stared to mess up the uniformity of the canopy. I've lifted the light to 650 from the top cola's but eish, I'm not sure if I should lift it more or not.

Thank you!

Many... the bag is deep!

What kinda treats and tricks you have for us?

thanks man, was built to keep some bonsai mums so I guess we'll just see how that turns out. More learning curves.
