Nice read! Good working!!
One thing I'll add, superfluously to wwwillie, it looks like you're under-watering.
I learned this the difficult way, my plants were suffering upon multiple fronts; I learned less is more - except water. I had a couple autos I chucked outside and we got about 17 days with rain consecutive. I wasn't even feeding them and they were killing my indoor control grow (only been growing, myself, since January)!! Live stoners helped me finally suss out that detail.
I had been buying bottled store water. Now I've got 3, 5 gallon buckets and fill up in water in a local watershed. MUCH cheaper; MUCH less waste. 3 buckets so I always have one at a good temperature, when 2 are empty, I go on a water run.
Looking good and enjoy!!
Nice to see ya
@Benjamin Squier I am watering more and more after each feeding, the Widow is up to 450mL water every day and a half, and the Ripleys is slowly taking 350ml. One thing i notice, and it only happens with the Ripleys, is that water runs through the bottom if i don't water very slowly, and i mean after only a quarter of water i have to wait about two minutes to soak in or else the rest will just instantly run through the bottom. I don't mind doing that but it never happened with the other two so i'm unsure of why that's happening.
On the note of water source, I have two 5gal water jugs i set aside for water but I don't really have the equipment to monitor pH, ppm, etc. so i was a little wary of using my faucet/hose water because I'm unsure of the readings. I went with crystal geyser because I've read a few things that said it was between pH 6.5 and 7 which i figured would be better than the unknown. I am using "Advanced nutrients, sensi bloom pH perfect" for bloom nutes, but my grow nutes are not the "pH perfect" so i was worried about water quality during the plants early stages. I do plan on having the equipment for my next grow so i can save money on water and store the 5gals.
Thank you for the words of wisdom, and i will mess with the water levels a little more. May you have healthy and abundant grows!!!:smoking:
Just finished reading through the thread, and it's looking great! Unfortunately I'm not a soil grower so I don't have much to offer in terms of advice. Shame the white cheese didn't make it, but them's the breaks sometimes.
I will definitely second the couple folks who have suggested looking into AutoCobs for your future grows. My first grow was completed with a Mars Hydro 300w, and I've since upgraded to a pair of autocobs. The difference is night and day. Better light quality, better light quantity, less electricity. (and I'm not even a salesman for 'em, lol!) Anyway, something to think about. You're already killing it with the blurple lights, so the only place to go is up!
Hey there
@ANTiFA nice to meet ya, and thanks for the likes
. I have been looking a little into cobs and i do hope to have some within at least my next two grows so i can see the difference. I've heard a lot of good things and to be honest, i don't think I've heard anything bad about them at all. But i will definitely look into getting some in the near future.
Thank you for the advice and telling me your experience with the AutoCobs, and may all of your future grows be healthy and bountiful!!! :smoking:
. 
Peace,
, but i think the others will make up for it!
and i look forward to seeing/hearing your thoughts/advice!!
OF is my fav by far, but for autos they grow so fast and go through changes faster than photos, and what I've come to see is that the roots explode through the coco better, only difference is you gotta water more often and add nutes every time. Which isn't a bad thing when you're looking for feeding your plant the most available nutes you can when each week is different
