Yes I do this all the time. Slow growers get a second chance one run later if the line is interesting enough.

Day 7 Bloom Update
Unit:
In just a week, you can see the vigor is ridiculous in WAGP1. Aeroponics by itself creates the greatest growth rates of any methodology and is just rocket fuel for this girl.
Data:
Our targets for nutrition are 350 ppm and a pH that varies between 5.3 - 6.3. In the notes column you will see any relevant actions taken. Our measurements are taken at >3 hours after the reservoir has been topped off with RO water every day.
In aeroponics, you MUST measure frequently since everything happens so fast, both the good and the bad. And all you need is bad once and it’s ugly!
In our notation, the circled s means that the unit was sprayed with al’s Super Feed N Kill Foliar Spray. You can find the recipe in the All al’s tech thread in the als_weed forum if you are interested.
Reverse Angle:
Everyone is that lovely high growth green I love to see for the next 21 days!
As always, your comments and questions are welcome.

Day 14 Bloom Update
Unit:
Lots of explosive growth for 2 weeks of bloom. Our WAGP1 row is outpacing everyone as expected. The plants are growing at optimum with no evidence of burn.
Data:
The plants are hungrily eating every other day. They continue to soak up foliar sprays every third day. On day 14 the unit got 1 cup of Aero Tea to boost all of our beneficials and give the plants a slight nitro boost as they hit peak stretch.
Post 1st Prune & Thin:
On day 14 I pruned off shaded bottom branches and thinned main branches by taking off up 3 bottom subbranches. I don’t remove leaves at this point, unless they are shading and can’t be tucked. The intent is to concentrate the plant’s energy in the bud layer, rather than on things that will be just cut off later or make popcorn.

Day 21 Update
Unit:
7XSBC081
WAGP1 is just outgrowing everyone.
Data:
Lots of hungry girls, as they eat almost every day. On day 21 they got their first reservoir change. This gives us a chance to remove waste, update all the beneficials, and alter the N/PK balance. Since we are now slowing stretch, the plants don’t need as much N in the mix.
Reverse:
The plants have been ‘Mohawked’. This means we have strapped all the branches to the trellis – flattening them into a Mohawk. This control puts all the budsites in maximum light and airflow.
Back:
Bottom branches and selected leaves have been removed. I will leave a ‘tutu’ of leaves on the bottom that will be our foliar spray target for the remainder of the grow. This lets us force feed the girls much further into bloom while enhancing pest and mold control – without taking a chance of bud rot with direct sprays.
Short Garden and Experiment Update:
