>> Brim' --excellent looking brood there my friend! -- these are under the P300? ... yeah, the small amount of crystals for adjustment is surprising to me too,... has you soil pH been behaving after you add the pH'ed water?

Yep, all is good in the hood! No onset of deficiencies(knock on wood) Yeah, I went below 6.5 a few times with the crystals and had to put a ml or 2 of silica to bring it back up, but everything so far is spot on in my tent. I also went with 3 lbs of Kindsoil in my 3 gallon grow bags, so we will see how full on flower looks! I know their website said to use 1-1.5lbs Kindsoil for autos, but they got all 3 lbs. for a 3 gallon container. Cheating? maybe, but I was not included in the test, just to oversee the test thread, but we now know autos can handle the regular proportions for photos! We will see how she finishes up! No tip curl or leaf deformaties. I have been right in range on feeds(6.46-6.5) every time and they are liking it, so I'm not going to change anything. Plants are praying, so life is good!
Yes on the P300! What a beaster led. Not a very wide footprint, but I have both plants huddled underneath it, over to one side of a 2' x 4' tent. I haven't pushed a Accurate 8 into the soil yet and dont feel I really need to, if things are going great without a hitch. I have about 5 more inches before the panel is at the top of the tent, so I'll be firing up the bloom switch a bit after I run out of room and hopefully it will help stop vertical growth. We shall see.

@Waira, plants are looking stellar!
@Pops, great harvest and Thank You for throwing in the root shots!! That IS a bonus and I gave you max rep for that!!

It's been a while since I updated.. I'll give a quick rundown..

I planted two G13 clones in 5 gal airpots with 2.5 lbs of kind soil topped with Coco loco. I think I planted too deep, like right into the KS. Anyway they vegged a while but my wife fed em a pile of nutes. So im disqualified from the KS BOM unless somebody wants to vote for a male Jem because the two autos I planted in the KS happened to be male. Anyways the KS and the nutes kept the G13's going for almost 3months. The wind kept knocking them over and they were starting to show some deficiency's. I didn't think they'd make it till harvest so I chose to transplant. Thanks may have missed a pic or two... It was hot and there were a few bowls involved. this is what I did. I dug a hole... Apparently bigger than I needed, I used recycled soil some from the Jem males and some other mixed up about 12gals worth in the bottom of the hole

Then I mixed up some promix bx and some oyster shell.

Like I said.. the wind kept knocking them over



I watered in one gallon of water mixed with some Great white and put the plants in topped with the fresh promix. Watered in another 2 gals of great white. I waited a couple hours and watered again with nutes


After all was said and done they looked like this


After the second watering I got this view from where the water bottle was

Sorry I botched the test but the girls are still going..
