Okay after a long delay in some other test items that I needed to get going I am happy to say the tent is up and running and I have one pot dedicated to growpito. I dropped seeds last night. I will update more when the seeds pop.

I didn’t take a picture after planting.

Way to go @Eekman your plant looks great. Don't worry about the algae you did the right thing, more top dress.

It's been 3 days since the last feeding and despite my best effort, the girls are still alive! :smoking:
I've never kept a record of my feedings. If needed, I'd just go back and see if the info was in the journal. But since I haven't been growing that long, (since 2015), and only a year indoors, I've decided to start keeping a chart of my feedings, PPMs and PH before and after. So far it looks like this!

NOV 10

PURPLE NUGGETS PPMs IN 470 PPMs OUT 479 PH IN 5.5 PH OUT 6.0


PSYCHOFRUIT PPMs IN 470 PPMs OUT 479 PH IN 5.5 PH OUT 5.7

As you can see something's still going on in the root zone, but Purple Nuggets actually looks a little better! Both plants seemed to have grown a little over the pass 3 days and I see no ill effects on the new growth. So hopefully, they will pull through this little hiccup!

@Need4Weed are you watering from the bottom?

@Need4Weed are you watering from the bottom?

Yes, I've been watering/feeding from the bottom. However, I did top water a little after the bottom feed a week ago, (just enough to get the medium wet). I did this in the hopes that the Sensizyme would break down the algae at the top of the pot. Here's a couple pics from last nights feeding, (my girls get their dark period in the daytime). As you can see they are growing well now and the new growth looks fine!

Btw, temps are running between 68 - 75 and humidity has been 55 - 75%, (I just added a small dehumidifier to the grow space yesterday). PPMs in were 499 and out was 490 on both girls. Ph in 5.5 for the Psychofruit and 5.6 out. Purple Nuggets Ph in 5.5 and out was 5.7

I've added CaliMagic today but all but one kush strains are thriving. Roots coming out the pots on all of them through the bottom. I've super cropped them thus far and I have kept tube algae to a minimum with a thick top dressing. Doing an auto drip system that feeds six times a day to run off.

The last plant is growing with roots in the bottom but not many and despite increasing the feed it had not regained its color. I've added CaliMagic in hopes of improvement. I'm enjoying this medium and my plants are growing fast.

Well I am ashamed to report this but I screwed up pretty bad. I put the whole bag of growpito out to soak overnight on my side yard in an clean trash can. I came back today to check it and it had tipped over and went everywhere. I am so sorry I totally do not know how it tipped over.

 

[Need4Weed]

I gave the girls their first GrowPito Beneficial Blast that David sent me. I didn't bother to check PPMs as the BB turned the water a pretty dark color. I'm going to use the run off to feed my other girls in coco! PH has settled down with both girls, (Ph 5.6 in and 5.7 out). New growth is looking great and I really like how they are growing now! Btw, the ugly duckling from the first failed germ attempt survived and she actually seems to be doing well! Because she's in a small pot I don't expect much, but here's some pics!

So now that I got my drip lines adjusted, and it took a bit of delicate digging I assure you. I had to try to get the hose, closer to the stalk. So I buried a 1/4 inch water line to the stalk. I put one about 4 or inches down, and the other one about 8-9 inches down, about 2/3 of the way down into the pot. I then put the drip line inside the 1/4 inch waterline until it stopped feeding.

I have to be carefull when I drip into the pots because the pseudo-tank pressure release sometimes comes off. I just slip it on there, no biggie. I also have to make sure the tank is secured, cuz once it tipped over, and that is when the pressure release came off.

The plant is doing great. I feed it the Dutch Pro line. I like that because it is clean. No residues to clog the lines.

I hit the PH at about 5.5-5.8, and my PPM's are at about 570 or so. The R/O water I use has about 70 ppm. So far in the mix is Grow A&B , Take Root, and Cal/Mag every other feeding.

I want to switch 12/12, the other plants are ready, and the Growpito Folks think I should do that so's to control the growth just a bit, so they don't get TOO big.

I need to have that problem.

I just noticed it's been 10 days since my last update and I'm sorry for being a slacker. I hope everyone, (who celebrates), enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday! The girls have been chugging along and I'm seeing no further problems with the Purple Nuggets. Both girls are getting the same feed, 3 grams per gallon of MegaCrop, 7.5 ml per gallon of Sensizym, 2 ml of SM-90, (yeah, per gallon! ), and 5 ml of cal/mag+ per gallon! Also, the girls run off is the same as what's been going in, PPM's, (650), and PH, (5.6). Since the Psychofruit is suppose to be a 60 day strain, I'll be adding Bud Explosion on her next feed. Here's some pics I took from yesterday, when I took them out too feed!

Here's some root porn from the Psychofruit and a pic of the other Purple Nugget in the 1 gallon pot!
