Closet Doms in Water.... An Ad Hoc Log of Black Dominas in DWC Hydro

Mr C is a mere clipboard that holds tracking sheets from Excel that I print out to record my adjustments. Then I post them to logs, etc. Very low tech. I sure hope he doesn't take offense to being called a 'mere clipboard' and 'very low tech' as the info is vital to my learning. At any rate I'm attaching blank copies of the 'low tech' sheets I use so anyone that wants to take a peek at them/use them can do so....

Ha, I'll bet MVP thinks an album is a thin black disk-shaped thing, with one long spiral groove in each side. How crazy can you get?

Not a whole lot new here, so I am posting the Nute numbers from the recent res change:

1/31 @ 8pm
Drained the res and prepared a batch of FloraKleen flushing agent. Loaded up each res and let it bubble away for 24 hours. PPM didn't move up or down but maybe 10 points; hmmm....

2/1 @ 8pm
I mixed up a fresh batch of nutes and filled each res. Here is a breakdown of the 'Secret Formula'.....

6 gal RO water = 15 PPM
+ 2ml/gal Zone = 15 PPM
+ 8 ml/gal EJ Microblast = 155 PPM
+ 8 ml/gal CalMag = 515 PPM
+ 12 ml/gal PBP Bloom = 1060 PPM
+ 4 ml/gal Karma = 1140 PPM
+ 4 ml/gal Sweet = 1210 PPM
----------------------------------
I added 6 ml UP to get the PH to 5.3, then I added it to the res in each bubbler.

BD1 = 1065 PPM, 5.9 PH, 3.7 gal solution
BD2 = 1040 PPM, 5.9 PH, 4.0 gal solution

In addition I removed the fan that I had under the canopy that was blowing up. I placed it so it blows across the flowers and moves the air around gently. I also positioned a 4.75 inch computer fan in the back corner for air movement, but it blows a bit too hard on the plants. I left it there and will use it when I see signs of excess moisture.

I am tempted to trim back a larger number of fan leaves to prevent shading. I'd like some comments and opinions on whether or not this is a good idea. That is the update, let me know your comments...

The only thing left you need is for Mr Clipboard to do an intro....:D

Don't do it, unless you want to. I still don't know which causes more damage; Removing uncooperative leaves or letting them shade buds of interest. Until someone explains why I'm wrong, I'll still keep trying to let the buds get the light. Again: removing a leaf is a last choice for me, and there other options, but the buds must have light! (Article 4, section b, subsection 2A, in the manuel.)

Explanations schmexaplanations! I go by the irritating rule.....If it it is still irritating me after four or five days of moving it around and it's shading a good bud it's gone. But DISCLAIMER.......I don't do scrog so......

Explanations schmexplanations.....I always go by the irritating rule......is it STILL irritating you after moving it several times a day for several days?
