[briefbriefs]

She's doing really well, I'm happy. I figured I'd try them out since they had such good reviews lol, haven't turned them on yet but I think I might real soon
Just found this

they're gonna explode with growth! im so pumped for you!! are you using your own fabric bags (if so, what size) or the ones that come with the kit?

I was surprised lol, but I'm also using Canna Rhizotonic. Just the 5gal talls that came in the kit

I turned on the airdomes and connected the reservoir last night. They drank 2 gallons in about 24 hours lol

Day 18

Roots are starting to pop out of the top of the 100% coco mix so I'm just covering with more coco lol
Had a little accident in the tent and something fell on the 50/50 mix plant a few days back, but she's growing past it (2 new nodes already).

I noticed the ph in my reservoir is rising from 5.8ish to 7.0+, so I'm just adjusting back down with earth juice crystals

Here's the HBSS in the living soil

Pistols are starting to show so I tied them down a bit today. Day 19
I noticed what looks like the start of ca or mag deficiency, more so on the 50/50 mix. Up'd the ppm to 600 from 400

Week 3 complete, on day 21 now. I've been struggling with keeping my res ph stable, bouncing between 5.8 and 7.0
I noticed ca/mag deficiency or potential ph lockout, so I've up'd my ppm to 800 and I'll monitor my res ph more. Not going to bad considering the learning curve

Started LST 2 days ago. The Chemdoggin x CDLCs are super bushy and getting thick. HBSS is real spread out and easy to train

Sorry the pics are a bit yellow, it's a pain with the lights

Lazy pics, but I was in the tent lol. New growth is looking good on the coco girls and they're stretching a lot, I think I got the problem situated

I'm super happy with this run and all the new equipment. The growth is insane, going on day 30 tomorrow. Feeding around 800ppm with ph drifting in res from 5.6-6.5 (depends how fast I catch it lol)
I can't figure this camera out with these lights, still messing with the white balance

Tent shot, back left is a stunted CDLC growing in M3 Michigan mix that was too hot for her. Back right is the HBSS in the Great Lakes Water Only
