Day 36
Tied her down a little bit more. Going to really try to get an even canopy on this single plant as it's been a while since I actually trained a plant. I also bumped her feed to 1.6g each of floraflex v1 and v2. ~470ppm 5.94pH.

The 2 cuttings I put in the flower tent with too strong of feed seem to be healthy as can be so far. I'm surprised they survived the weekend, but let's see what happens!!

I missed the bus on the fridge magnets and stickers. Got my packs tacked up to the happy frog bulletin board tho.

Only 4 out of 12 of my red eye jedis were female, so we bumped up germination day on the meltdown to.. today

Managed to wash some of the milk off with citric acid spray, not all but some. There were green leaves under that crusty cake layer. Who knew.

Here's the funky one. Stretchy and whispy, hard nugs though so far. When I sprayed it last night it laid out flat like a spider.

What's your thoughts on living soil I'm going to run outside just one probably dig holes for others. Fox farm ocean Forest or Happy frog is best?I'm adding dynomycro to medium.

Personally not impressed with ffof right out of the bag. I recommend adding whatever amendments and then let it cook for at least a month. Keep up on top dressing starting week one.

Yea this from @Budzbuddha soil recipe he uses it then adds mycro,spray with water to activate then throws plant on top then fills rest with normal soil and perlite. After two weeks top dress triple 4 dry. Also every week liquid seaweed. Just that all the way. Never messed with sounds little to simple but..

Looks good. Personally I’d add a bit of guano, neem meal and humic acid. I always top dress with worm castings.

you get good coverage with one port? I needed two on the 4” as well.

I put all my outdoor right in the ground. My whole outdoor spot is one big compost pile. Leaves, grass clippings, old promix, bio char, and a crap ton of sea shells me and the wife collected and smashed up. kitchen scraps (never meat or fat).

I mix 4 cups ewc, a cup of 4-4-4, 1/4 cup of 3-9-4, 1/2 cup azomite, 1/2 cup Dolomite. The holes are about 3' wide by 3' deep. Plop plants in memorial day weekend and topdress heavy on the 4th of july

Not really sure. I've been running 1 on everything up to this point. Watch if half the roots stay dry it will cause some weird tacoing and discoloration. Hahaha.

Maybe when I run a tent full of the same thing, I will run some with 1 and some with 2 to see if there is a big difference. I also run my pump for 1 minute and 15 seconds 4 times a day now so that should be covering it just fine I'd think.

So five minutes a day? LOL that's way more than I'm doing. In the flower I do a two 35 second floods and in veg I do 4 10 second floods.

All 3 are up, the middle one was a helmet head and needed some help so shes a little behind..
First time I've used this light for germination so they're a little taller than I like..
Turned it up a bit so they should be good to go.. I love creating new life!!View attachment 5363472

I had one do that too. I got a little hamfisted trying to get it it off and messed up the leaves a bit. It survived.

I'm in gallon planters and that's what it took to get good run off. But that's probably close to similar amounts of water since I'm only running one line per planter.

That's why I used a "t" on the 4" floraflex planters with the Chernobyl clones. Theoretically, it cuts the water in half on each one, but still allows for enough to have runoff.

with my wimpy pump and lifting 4' I couldn't make the t work in my veg tent. Works awesome on the 3/4hp pump in flower!

30 days 12/12. Kinda lagging a bit from multiple issues I believe I've gotten a handle on...or hope so...LOL. (Cold start/pH issues/humidity issues). Excuses abound...Heehee...but I can say @ this point that growing in a tent in an unheated garage (under LED rather than HID) has been challenging/interesting/a bit frustrating. Old dog...new tricks. So glad this isn't my livelihood anymore...Hehhee. Oh my.

Hoping for a good burst in girth/frost soon...but wow...they already have a serious limey/crazy nose even before the frost....

Your low temps kept them nice and short. That's going to be a frost blanket of fresh fallen resin! Nice job in a challenging environment

This morning I happened to hear the pump kick on so I opened the tent to see how well everything was flowing and working. Lo and behold one of the torture clones was getting no juice. It wasn't dry and I've watched it pump both of them before, but not this morning. Soooo, took out the t and hooked em each straight to the bubbler. These poor little bastards don't stand a chance. Or, do they?? Muhahaha
