- everything besides the FE are looking healthy and way definitely bigger compared to the previous grows

FE


- FE 5g soil was definitely out of juice! this girl i re transplanted (in solo cup) last night and fed with .5g of mg/L @6.2
- you can see her struggling with deficiency

- rest of plants will be getting fed with
2g of MG / 4ml calmag / 4liters @6.5
(.5g per liter)

* i havr a double grape in a jiffy that will be put in the 5gallon once ready! should be sometime today... her helmet is poking out of the ground

- FE struggled with the 6.2 feed showing more deficiency (just wanted to see what would happen with this ph since its "coco")
