Day 0: Feb 09, 2021
Soaking seeds 12-24 hour in 500ml Purified H2O + 3ML GS Plant Food Organic Liquid Kelp solution.
Day 1: Feb 10, 2021
After 14-hours of soaking in darkness, seeds have already sunken to bottom of solution and tap root is starting to emerge from each seed. Temperatures averaged 75F. Moving the seeds to tray with paper towels moistened with the soaking solution and will leave in darkness for another 24-hours or so.
Day 2: Feb 11, 2021
After ~24-hours of germinating seeds in paper towels, a healthy tap root has grown from all 10 seeds. Carefully moved seeds to root riot plugs. Also shredded an extra riot plug to lightly cover the seed holes to minimize light exposure to the roots. I did feel a small pop when trying to lightly tap one of the seeds into the plug. :( Fear I may have snapped it's root... Well, only time will tell.
Day 3: Feb 12, 2021
Temps have held around 72F (Low) and 78F (High) over the past 24-hours with humidity in the propagation dome ~60%-75%. Mixed a light solution with 500ML H2O + 1ML Liquid Kelp and applied 10ML of solution (PH ~6) to each plug. Noticed a few seeds started to poke up slightly above the seed holes. Hoping to see some cotyledons in the next couple of days.
Day 4: Feb 13, 2021
Several ladies decided to show themselves and start stretching their arms today :)
Temps have stayed 72F (low) - 76F (high) with humidity (60%-70%). Unfortunately, I suspect the seed I felt pop when placing in the plug likely severed the root and probably isn't going to sprout. Unfortunate error on my part. She had the longest root of the bunch. We'll see over the next couple days. A couple are lagging the other girls but trucking along. Plugs are plenty moist. Just lightly spraying dome to keep humidity up.
Day 5: Feb 14, 2021
All 10 ladies have sprouted. Two are still catching up. Several had roots running a few inches out of the riot plugs into the tray. Went ahead and transplanted to 1-liter SuperRoots Air Pots with 70% Coco Coir / 30% Perlite mix and added endomycorrhizal fungi to support root development. Conditioned medium with 5.8ph water with cal mag only. Added a second small 32w LED and decreased distance of lights to minimize stretching. Temps have ranged from 72F to 78F with humidity 50%-70%.
Day 6: Feb 15, 2021
Ladies are doing well. 8 Girls are looking healthy and strong while 2 runts are struggling but still pushing along. Medium is sufficiently moist, no watering today. Frequently spraying dome to maintain humidity. Temperatures have ranged between 72F - 78F and humidity 50%-65%.
Day 7: Feb 16, 2021
Unfortunately they stretched alot the other night. Lowered the lights to just a couple inches above dome. Girls are progressing nicely. First set of true leaves are filling out. Two runts finally opened up and are slowly catching up. Seems the seed I was worried about may be fine after all.
Mixed a light feeding solution:
1 Gallon H2O
5ML CalMag
2.5ML Buddha Grow
2.5ML Trinity
2.5ML Surge
3.0ML Ancient Amber
PH 5.8
Watered until runoff (Approximately 150ML per pot)

Day 8: Feb 17, 2021
These girls are Virginia Slims. Added support to some of the seedlings as they rocketed to 3-4 inches and are skinny. Hopefully having the lights closer keeps them from stretching anymore. Removing the dome and have a small fan blowing on them. Main room isn't quite ready and current room is pretty dry. Using small humidifier in the meantime. Coco is still plenty moist, no watering.
Day 9: Feb 18, 2021
Looks like ladies have stopped stretching thankfully. Kept humidity dome off with a small fan blowing lightly across them. Temperature has ranged 68F-74F with humidity 40%-50%.

Looks like girls are showing early signs of nutrient burn on tips of lower leaves. Also some spots that looks like could be calcium deficiency.
Flushed with PH 5.9 water and CalMag (6ml / gallon) to be safe. Going to increase PH to 6.2
next feeding with 10% reduction in nutrients. Also raised light slightly.

Still having issue with what looks like Mag deficiency. Getting yellowing along edges and veins of the leaves while veins are green. Started with oldest leaves and making its way up to newer ones.
I think its unlikely the solution doesn't have enough magnesium in it and pretty sure there's probably a PH issue going on.
The Roots Organics nutrients being used does have a significant swing in PH. I let the solution sit for 24-hours before using in watering as PH rises significantly. Noticed PH even continues to creep up 48-hours later. Tested runoff and it was showing PH of 7.2 despite watering with solution PH 5.8-6.2 every watering.
Going to try switching to Mills Nutrients next watering and see what happens over the next couple of days.

Day 32: March 13,2021
SPA day for the ladies. Gave haircut followed by full body massage. Topped and removed excess fan leaves covering branches. Girls were looking a little sad after, but perked back up after a couple hours.
- Really like F2 plant structure compared to the others.
- Accidentally broke a branch on F1. Propped it up and looks to be healing quickly.
- F7 looks like it might have an iron deficiency.
Going to let the girls recover and will begin LST soon.

Day 42 - March 23, 2021
Yesterday evening modified CO2 and Temperature settings in the room. CO2 has consistently been between 1200-1300 ppm with temps ramping up to 81F during lots on today. (Using scheduler with A/C to gradually increase temps when lights first come on and decrease them last couple hours before lights off). Girls seem to be liking it. Can see signficant difference in growth since yesterday.
Last week, before modifying resevoir to DTW config, I noticed what looked like could be Zinc / Iron deficiency mainly in F7 (maybe mag, not 100% sure). It was only impacting newest growth with yellowing in the leaves. Don't believe it has spread to new leaves, but as leaves get larger definitely looks more obvious. Continuing to monitor and watch for any further advancement of issue.

Started noticing a couple gnats in our house. It's been warm outside and they are starting to come out. Unfortunately saw some in the room as well and can only assume there are many more feeding on the ladies. Gave foliar spray using Bee Safe Organicide.
Gave all the girls a thorough haircut today and worked on trying to get canopy under control. Vegatation was very thick.
Doesn't look like deficency issue with F7 is spreading. Continuing to watch for any changes indicating the problem is still ongoing.

Day 50 - March 31, 2021
Deficiency Issues:
Still having issues with what looks like Zinc deficiency. Also found 4 of 5 fan leaves with Calcium deficiency over the last couple of days. Runoff is PH 5.8 and EC is 0.78. EC in runoff has been very low. I'm pretty confident it's not a PH issue at this point. Seems plants are rapidily soaking up the nutrients in the water. I also found 8 or 9 fan leaves with slight nutrient burn a few days ago. Nutrient burn seems to have tapered off and haven't noticed any spreading. Going to try adding an additional watering to the schedule to see what happens. I'm hesitant to mix stronger nutrients due to nutrient burn I started to see earlier this week. At the same time, need to figure out the cause of the nutrient deficiencies. I'm currently using the Light Feeding Schedule from Mills Nutrients (says "light", but is still 2.06 EC including 0.54 EC for water + CalMag) Need to switch to flower soon but need to figure out deficiency issues before the switch.
Defoliation:
* Removed quite a bit of fan leaves suffocating nodes. Girls are 10lbs lighter.
Despite the nutrient issues, the girls have been filling out fast. Did a timelapse over the past couple days and can see significant growth in a short period.

Few leaves had small nutrient burn on the tips earlier this week. Nutrient burn appears to have tapered off.
Day 51 - April 01, 2021
Deficiency Issues:
Believe I figured out the deficiency issue. Seems my BlueLab pH meter is bugging out. Purchased a new Hanna Growline meter and calibrated. Been measuring 5.8/5.9 PH for the last few weeks, but seems the actual pH was 6.2 to 6.3. pH has likely been reading wrong for at least a couple weeks.
My Growline EC/TDS meter was also off but not by much. (Recalibrated as well)
Going to make sure to recalibrate every couple weeks versus once a month going forward.

Day 53 - April 03, 2021
Deficiency Issues:
New growth continues to look nice and healthy. Plants are filling out quickly.
Adjusted light cycle to 16/8 and will be switching to 12/12 tomorrow. Been letting the plants fill out the last couple days. Going to work on tucking tall branches under trellis tomorrow.
F2 has performed best out of the 8 phenos during veg. Even with all the PH issues F2 and F1 showed very few issues and seem to be able to tolerate much wider range of variables. F2 looks to have best structure and a stalk and branches that are 40-50% thicker than the others. We'll have to see how flower and harvest go, but so far F2 is at the top of the score board.
My camera for timelapses keeps shifting when I open and close the tent. Remounted to hopefully get better / more consistent shots.

First day of flower :)
Worked on tucking branches through trellis net. Accidentally broke a branch clean off F7. Tried to graft it back on but the break was in a bad spot unfortunately and had to throw in the towel on it.
Most of the trellis nets have been filled out. Waiting to see how they stretch and will clean up canopy later this week.

Day 63 - April 13, 2021
The Titan Apollo 9 timer using for water pumps is glitching out. It's randomly reset 2x over the last couple days. At first thought it was a fluke and maybe bump the reset button somehow. Seems unlikely, it randomly resets clock to 12am and erases the programmed times. Think I'm going to give a smart plug a shot instead (at least I can see notifications if scheduler fails)
So far seeing pistols on all ladies. No nannards so far. Will be working on canopy this weeking and will take close look at each.

Turned off co2 for 24-hours as I vented air out of the room to help with humidity a bit. Waiting for Anden dehu to arrive.
Also replaced the Titan Apollo 9 controller for water pumps as it keeps randomly resetting and has proved unreliable. Testing a smart plug and will create some conditions with IFTTT to send notifications to ensure pumps don't miss schedules, shut off correctly, etc.
Plants are doing well. Pistols are popping out faster and faster. Planning to do some canopy management this weekend and will be inspecting to make sure there aren't any pollen sacs forming.

Pushing on the envelope on humidity. Dumidifier should be ready for pickup mid next week at the lastest barring any delays. In a worst case scenario, I'll turn off co2 and exchange air in the room until I can get dehu setup.
Overall, been busy and haven't done much in the room. Just watching the growth, think we should be at the end of stretch, maybe one or two days to go. F7 has really been reaching up.
Also recived my Jack's Nutrients today. Will finish out this grow with Mills Nutrients and will give Jack's a go on next run. Pretty excited to compare.
Mixed 50-gallons nutrient solution:
** 40-gallons RO Water
** 10-gallons Tap Water (In replace of Cal-Mag+)
*** RO + TAP water base ~0.38 EC

@GuerrillaNo_4, Thanks! This is my first grow in about 9-years now. I grew for a couple years previously. Cut a lot of corners back then though and caused myself a lot of headaches lol Trying to be proactive this time around and maintain a bit more control on all the variables.
@greenthumbartisan, im presently in my first hydro grow and am using a torus hydro perfect ph balancer drop in and I haven’t had to adjust ph AT ALL as of this point. Might be due to large res with single plant but they make an inline version as well you might want to look into and could still add to your system at this stage. Was skeptical of their claims and am still in veg but appears to be working! Your plants looks great!
@TheCode, Gotcha, yea I've saw quite a few designs using PVC and scrog on youtube. I also saw a video on one Mr Canucks channel and grabbed the scrog nets he used. (found size that worked perfect for my setup) From there just played around with PVC pips to build a proof of concept for my needs and once I had the measurements down, I built 8x of them. Like 10 years ago I tried growing under 6x 600 watt bulbs and grew some pretty big trees; however, I spent two months having to army man crawl through the room to do basic maintenance lol. That experience was my biggest motivation to try and build something more modular this time around.
Still a few quirks I'm running into with my setup, but will hopefully get smoother and smoother over time. 2G per watt will definitely be god .
This is my first attempt using LEDs. Been a long time since I've grown, but the tech seems to have come along way since then. So far I've been very impressed. Hoping to see a good harvest them.
As far as the pens, couldn't agree more. For the bloody cost, you would think maintenance would be easy. They're a thorn in the side. Every time I test, there's always the thought in the back of my mind, is this thing even accurate? lol
Would be nice to not have to worry about pH (feels like its the bulk of the work)
Good luck with your goal! hope you hit that 2G/w bar
@greenthumbartisan, Well especialy for newbies when they start this hobby all ph things can look difficult I mean knowing what pen to buy how to keep it working it looks the TDS meter is much easier to maintain and use because it's simple device, but with ph pen it lil bit annoying lol for me i change those cheap pens every year ,every new grow try to calibrate it and when im using it and finish using it put it in distilated water take it out and just put the cap back so idk cant really keep it really nice i dont have a fckn laboratory it;s little bit annoying .
