Day 5
Light schedule 18/6
Plants received 10ml of food first time last night.
I was able to afford the ph meter yesterday. Ph levels were at 8.5 for first 4 days. Now sitting comfortably at 6.2. Still getting used to adjusting the ph level.


lemon kush soil: When I picked up the plant, it was extremely stretched and would fall over if not propped up. So I decided to lay the plant over "lsting I believe it's called" to maximize my small closet space. It has responded wonderfully to the change. Node spacing is really tight now, and all the branches have turned toward the light.


Ak soil: Little growth in the last week. Most leaves are curling under. I assume because the week it sat in the dark dried out.


5 Clones: 2 strains... We will hence forth them rb1 and rb2


Rb1: 3 clones.


Farthest right plant "Rb1fr" has been showing signs of growth. The stalk has tripled in circumference in the last week. 1 new set of nodes.


Farthest left plant "Rb1lr" hasn't progress as nicely as rb1fr but have shown new growth.


Closest right pant "Rb1cr" barely any growth. Concerns me as it has slowly started leaning over.


Rb2: 2 clones


Middle left plant "Rb2ml" has come along well in the last 2 days. It was facing certain death. So I actually buried the rockwol base a little deeper into the hydroton. No new growth but leaves are standing and facing the light now.


Closest left plant "Rb2cl", I don't what to think of her yet. The leaves have always been perky. Way healthy looking then rb2ml but still no new growth.


Next plan of action will be to pickup a thermometer to measure room temperature and one for the reservoir. Also currently hunting for a ppm meter, so I can keep an eye on the nutrient levels. Beyond that, I wouldn't mind picking up a box fan and placing it in the closest. Currently there's a 4 inch exhaust fan blowing outside at the top of the opposite end of the closest and one dinky fan blowing above the canopy.


Thanks to a wonderful thread on this forum, I was able to contact Peruvian Gold Organics and they are sending me a sample out. As soon as it arrives plants will be switched. Thanks rollitup and a big thanks to Peruvian Gold Organics!
