You're rocking it brother!!

Thanks man! Can't say I'm as busy as you! Maybe some day... Considering starting to do my own crosses soon after this run so I'm following your journals closely.

I add it into my water. I can't say I've heard of anyone adding yucca in as a dry amendment but I suppose that could be possible?
I setup a res to use for watering so I'm not mixing small amounts all the time. Here is my general water:

Bubble Res
RO water +50ppm CalMag (0.75ml/gal)
1/8 tsp/5gal yucca
2ml/gal Hydroguard

I add CalMag first then hydroguard and then yucca. Let it sit in my res overnight and then pH it. Then it's just maintaining the res before I water. After a few days it usually stabilizes. I use this water and mix in my nutrients and then re-pH it for feedings.

Makes sense. I only water/feed 1 gallon at a time. So I'm not sure what that equates to lol. Do you use the yucca with every watering/feed? Thanks again!

Thanks man! I tend to go a bit overboard sometimes but I'm really loving growing and see myself doing it indefinitely now. Really excited to see how these plants turn out. Glad to be able to share with everyone on here as I don't really get to show anyone else in my personal life.

Same here have to keep it sorta hidden so this is a great place

You can if you want, I've seen no adverse affects of using it with each water. It makes the water flow and spread out easier so I don't see the hurt. If it's just for a gallon a very small pinch would be fine, doesn't have to be too precise and you really don't need much at all.

If you want some cheap yucca I get Mojave gold off eBay. Got a whole sandwich ziplock of the stuff for like 18 dollars. Cheaper than Amazon and you get way more, it'll likely go bad before I use it all. It's organic too.

Looking good I'd get that setup but it would probably over flow my sips....

Thanks! I can't take credit for the idea, the main idea I got from cocoforcannabis. I have an active drain setup for each plant stand that drains into a blacked out bucket in the tent. That has a condensate pan drain pump in it that pumps it into a big trash can that I setup as my collection bin outside the tent. I'm lucky enough to be able to drain that it directly into my bathroom vent pipe with a pump as I could never carry it.

I also have a water hookup in my grow room. After my first grow with just a few plants I was over hauling water into my grow room all the time lol.

So I think I'm going to change gears a bit on this grow since I have yet to use my bottle nutes. Picked up some of this today:

Appreciate the recommendation @2budz and @420autoflower
I went ahead and picked up some recharge as well.
So the plan now is to top dress each with 1/3 cup around 2 1/2 weeks mixed in some worm castings and every 2 weeks after that. I will also give it recharge and Blackstrap Molasses once a week. Hoping this combo works out. I think other than my pH up/down this will mean I'm full organic? If anyone can think of anything that would be good to add please let me know!

You should be all set.

Day 5:

Watered the seedlings today. Pots were feeling a tad light. CDLC is still pretty squat but chugging along. Strawberry Gorilla seems to be the largest out of the group by a little bit. Other than needing a drink they all seem fairly happy still. Excited to try out the new dry amendments, should be a lot easier.
