[JohnEMad]

glad i popped back here to see the birth of all your new girls give me a tag now and again john

You Got it St. Tom. Going to be great to see the duel between nutes.
Here are my next Autos currently getting ready to go into the 2x4x6ft tent when the others finish.
They are THC, Cosmic Bomb and a Stardawg. 8 and 15 days old. under the SP250 using the Mantis nutes at full strength.

March 18th and Everyone is up the and in solo cups except a Gypsy Widow(Exotic Seeds)the only hold back. Also added a Bruce Banger from Seedsman. Super fast germination. Now for a little light and humidity. View attachment 1170141View attachment 1170142

Nice update mate

Kind regards

March 28th Day 10 and transplanted the GC and OGKZ out of solo cups into 15 L Autopots.
2 were watered though using 1/2 strength Mantis Buffered Nutrients
2 with 1/4 strength Remo Nutes and full strength cal/mag.
Bruce banger in a 5 gallon Growbag using Mantis.
Remo has grown me some fine plants in the recent past but has given me some trouble dialing it in. Hoping the All-in-one Mantis Buffered Nutrients can grow the same size and quality without any stress about things like ph lock out or having a difficiency.
So far the HSO seeds/plants are fast to germinate and growing well. no late ones and on track.
The new SP250 lights are bright and the plants seem to really like them.

DAY 18 and the grow is going well.
Turned on both reservoirs so now the test is well underway. Both solutions at 5.7 ph. RH is a little low at 25 to 45%. Damn dry winter conditions. Need a much larger humidifier. Oh well, Always something not perfect.
So far the new lights are doing a great job at 28 inches above. Plants are praying daily and looking healthy.
The Fast Flowering Green Crack & OGKZ plants using Mantis Buffered Nutes are slightly larger but I cannot say if it is because they broke ground a bit earlier or not.
The plants using Remo Nutrients are healthy as well.
Going to veg them all until I reach just under the 1/2 distance of grow space and then flip to 12/12.
Also have a Bruce Banger playing catch-up at 1 week behind the Green Cracks and OGKZ's.
Have a couple Gypsy Widow seedlings that took 12 days to crack their shells in solo cups as well. They may get transferred to another tent unless they can do some serious growing in the next 30 days.
Love the quick germination and fast growth of the HSO plants. Probably will only do some LST and selective clipping. So far so good.

Day 23 and these Fast Flowering plants are also fast growing. The two in particular, the Green Crack on Mantis nutes is 10" tall and 17" wide with fan leaves almost as big as my hands. Once they hit double that height its flower time. May have to start some LST but up till now just seeing what they do naturally. The Bruce Banger on the other hand which is supposed to be mainly sativa is looking more like an Indica. It is a week behind so perhaps it will start to go. And the red leaf lettuce is almost ready to harvest. So far the MH SP250's are working very well. Better after I moved the drivers outside the tent. a 1-2 degree drop.
So far keeping temps steady at 22-29C and RH @ 32-38%. both res ph 5.7, ppm 700 or 1.4 EC. have 1-6" intake fan, 1-12" fan inside the tent and 1-4"exhaust fan(soon to be 6").
I am excited about this grow and everyday it seems things are growing fast. @HSO-Mark , @MANTIS_mike, @MarshydroTina

Day 28, temps, RH steady.
Mantis Nutes are still leading the way over Remo Nutes but not by too much.
The GC and OGKZ are making huge fan leaves and are standing 9.5 and 11" T x 20" W.
The Remo plants are 8" T and up to 19"W. Been snipping the odd pair of fan leaves off and doing some tucking. Otherwise letting them do their thing. These HSO plants are vigorous growers.
The BB is starting to look better and keeping pace.
Another 6-8 inches or so and flipping to 12/12.

Hey grow neighbors, Day 35 and things are under control I think. April 16th noticed some yellow/browning and spotting happening fairly quickly to both sets of plants using Mantis and Remo nutes. I went through things and decided to flush all the plants with RO water ph'd to 5.5. The runoff tested at 7.1/7.2. I continued until it read 5.9/6.0. Then I watered through with a weak nutrient solution.
Things have stabilized and I now assume I was feeding too strong a diet to the girls. Was at 1.4 EC for the bigger Mantis fed plants and 1.6 EC for the Remo fed plants. lowered the Mantis to 1.2 and the Remo to 1.4 Now that they are looking better I will wait a short while to make sure all is good and then flip the light schedule to 12/12.

Here are the latest pics.
