edit: I put the wrong day's photos on my original day 56 post so admin is going to delete that post.
Day 56
Day 6 12/12
I did my weekly soup change in the dwc with a nice fresh batch. I started with 14ltr (3.7gal) 85ppm water. Added 14ml calimagic- 18.5ml each of micro,gro &bloom then ph'd down to 5.6. Then added 33ml cannazym-1/2 spoon GW mycorrhizal-4ml h&g roots excelurator & 2.3ml mammoth p.
Have got a brew aerating for a soil drench tomorrow for organic plant.The brew is a recipe that I got from the dude that makes the soils and living cropping & biodynamic fertilizers I use. The recipe is 10ltr's water, 3 cups Humus rich & fulvic acid Bioactive compost which I aerate overnight then strain, then add 1/8th cup worm extract, a scoop of kelp powder, seaweed extract, some mycorrhizal fungi, and I add some mammoth p for good measure. He recommends applying as a foliage spray in times of disease (mildew aswel) or times of stress or as a soil drench. Her roots are going bananas. As you can see in the pics she has roots sticking their heads out of the top of the soil.I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. Her trunk is nice and thick and you can see where I did hst by just squeezing the branches till they popped.

Day 58 lights on
Day 8 12/12
Starting to see some pistils. Looks like more on soil plant than dwc atm. A very little drop in ppm in last 14hrs for dwc plant, but she is drinking
@ 1340ppm & 5.9ph.So going by some charts I have, that seems to be dialed in perfectly.
RH is a little higher than I would like today so I have turned the speed up on the hyper-fan a touch as it was only just on. I still haven't connected the phresh carbon filter as the smell is not to bad yet.
Light is at 45300lux (647ppfd) and is approx 17.5 inches above dwc & 19 inches above soil plant. It is on 295 watts, at max it will go to 348watts.

Day 60
d10-12/12
Just a quick update for Sunday Morning. Got up 10 min before lights out and snapped a few pics & topped up the dwc as she has drank, drunk..(shit that reminds me of last night
) approx 3 ltrs in a few days. opped up with 1ltr plain water and 2 ltrs of the original soup mix that I had made extra.
Dwc still not pushing pistils yet, but the organic plant is well on her way.

Gonna defol? If so, what’s plan?

Cheers mate.
Yeah definitely going to defol & remove any lower/shaded branches.
These Phantoms love a good defoliate and bounce back so quick, so I will go pretty hard with them when I do I think. I have been doing a bit of research on the subject and it seems like I should wait till they finish their stretch before I start removing anything. How true is this? I have just been trying to tuck leaves atm. Should I be removing any foliage now so the undergrow can shoot through or just let nature take its course and let the strongest naturally come to the top.

Feel free positioning them (i like to pull mains/laterals to outside, opening up center and spreading out tops), but hold off on pulling leaves until stretch done or 3 weeks from flip.
Let them build the structure, then pull the leaves to force them to shift to full budout mode...
Looks like you will have a lot to work with...

Nice!
Depends on where they are heightwise and intensity.
Basic idea is to work plants up to your target max intensity, without doing damage, as soon as you can.
I use daily light integral (dli) as my guide. Dli is a calculation that takes ppfd and hours of lightson into consideration. Here is a calculator: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/news/horticulture-metrics-par-ppf-ppfd-dli
When i go to 12:12, i try to start ppfd at the level that gives me the same dli as i was running at the end of veg. Usually takes a week or so to get plants there, then i start ramping over next couple weeks to my max ppfd target.

Lol, man I can't keep up with all of the threads I'm following anymore. I'm rushing to catch up all the time. You've got like 4 or 5 new ones too, which I'm following but having to catch up here and there when I can.
Mine almost ready to start the final flush. Its looking like I'll be using most of my week off the first week of July to harvest and trim. Cool with me!

Thanks OG! Today is F day 55. I had to add a secondary scrog to the Liberty Haze Friday. I'll take and post new pics this evening.
