Day 31/14

Yet another rearranging took place. Hopefully this is the last one for a while. Dropped the Magic Melon down off the bucket and then lowered the light as low as it would go. Ended up about 20" above plant. Turned the G300W up to 125w. Moved the small planters back to the tray to make room to tie the Magic Melon down a little bit more. Im just going to keep tying it down and mainlining it as long as it is growing and stretching. The Ripple Mountain Pie has one little root peaking out of one of the holes on bottom so it will be transplanted to a bigger pot in the next few days. I was also able to put the top that broke off of the Magic Melon into a solo cup with soil. It had perked up a lot in the cup of water.

RMP just continues to grow up. MM continues to grow out. And the top of MM in the solo cup continues to flower and just survive, although it looks as though she may have a slight deficiency. I think I just stuck her in some old, recycled dirt. I can't remember. I think I will mix her up a batch of nutes tonight.

Day 39 Magic Melon Auto
Day 22 Ripple Mountain Pie Auto


Magic Melon had a few leaves taken off and got spread out a bit in anticipation of starting flowering soon. I think I'm just gonna let the RMP go. I may do some LST as it takes off, but don't think I'm gonna top it.

Magic Melon looks like she has started to flower.

Ripple Mountain Pie looks like she has a very little discoloration on the bottom leaves, but otherwise is growing right up and looking healthy.

Magic Melon has been droopy last night and tonight about 2 hours before lights off. Last night, i noticed her pot was very dry so i gave her about 3 quarts of water. She had perked up by morning time. She
Was pretty droopy again tonight. Is that normal behavior? Does she need more light? Less light?

Ripple Mountain Pie continues to stretch up and appears to have started flowering up top. Her discoloration is continuing. Her leaves are lightening up and the veins are staying darker. Almost look a little blueish. She is in FFOF and I left room in the pot to add more as a top dress if needed. Would it be normal for her to have depleted all the nutes already only 3-4 weeks in?

Magic melon Day 49
still looking good. Starts drooping 5 or 6 hours before lights off. Perks back up when lights come on. Gave her about 1.5 quarts of 1.5EC bloom nutes. I also trimmed off some fan leaves that were reaching down towards the soil.

Ripple Mountain Pie Day 32
Still yellow. Some of the new growth coming in definitely looks more green so I'm hopeful it's moving in the right direction. Lifted the pot and it was covered in roots. I thought it was going to be sitting in water but it was not. The soil is still pretty wet though. I replaced the saucer with a 16" one and added a riser so it's got room to breathe underneath. I also went ahead and supercropped her and bent her down and around the pot. She was almost touching the light and was way taller than the Magic Melon plant.

Magic Melon Front left
Same story, different day. She's just doin her thing. Gave her some 1.5EC bloom nutes tonight.

Ripple Mountain Pie Front right
Her pot was still pretty heavy. I went ahead and trimmed off the leaves that were in bad shape. I then watered her with 1.5EC bloom nutes until some runoff. Hoping to pull some fresh oxygen into the soil and get her some food to get some more green into this plant.

Magic Melon is killin it. Gave her about a half gallon of water last night.


Ripple Mountain Pie is finally getting more and more green and her flowers are starting to actually make some progress. Her pot feels like it is finally starting to dry out as well. I have a small fan on the side of it and rotate the pot periodically.

Magic Melon
1.65 qt. Of 1.4EC bloom food. Saw these little guys popping up. I don't believe they are balls. Can someone confirm that for me please?

Ripple Mountain Pie
She is drying out slowly but surely. I gave her enough water to wet the soil on top of the planter.

not much to report. Both plants are moving slowly but surely. Temps had dropped to mid 70's so I closed the window and got them up to low 80's. I also put the humidifier in the tent and it looks like all the plants have perked up a little bit.
