7/12: Week3 Day1 - Watered through with 1/2 tsp/gal of coconut and disposed of runoff. Cleaned pots before putting back in tent and turning on autopots. ROd water at 9 PPM and 6.3 PH 7/13: rh bumped to 75 +-2.5 because of heat. Lots of growth 24 hours after turning pots on. Plants rebounded from the water through within 24 hours. Tent Temp: 83F Tent RH: 75 Leaf Temp: 80.6 F VPD: 0.96 kPa LVPD: 0.61 kPa 7/15: Topped CQ and M&Q (day 18) Turned off air domes because leaves were drooping. Leaves rebounded within the hour. Will turn back on during flower, but cycle on for last 8 hours of light. 7/16: Turned off water to autopots. Realized you’re supposed to weight 24 hours after watering through, before you turn on the pots. Plants (mainly CQ and M&Q) have mildly drooping leaves with some minor discoloration. Going to leave the water off for 24 hours to let the medium dry out a bit. 7/17: topped cosmic apprentice and removed a couple small lower growths. 7/18: topped SK. CQ is still drooping. Autopots still off but soil still to wet. Going to leave another 24 hours.

Smell is strong in the CQ. It’s got a heavy dose of soap now. Can’t can’t to harvest. Looking like 1-2 weeks max. serious fade mixed with deficiencies early are causing a lot of dying off lower fan leaves. Need to increase feeding next time in week1 of flower. The others are 2-4 weeks from being done. Day 58: Tent temp: 81 Leaf temp: 81 RH: 66 +- 2 VPD: LVPD: PPFD 825 +- 50 8/26 - emptied water and cleaned auto pots. Refilled with 1/4 tsp/gal 14-0-0. CQ is stinking up the place.

Mostly cloudy trichs with a few clear and a few amber. Looking like harvest within a week. Other 3 are still 2-3 weeks. CA getting thick. Really happy with the first living soil grow so far. Not perfect but much improvement over first 3 grows.
