b. the growth we are seeing is very nice
c. am still watering around the rocks a few times a day to promote root growth
Day 9 - all is well
a. plant is noticeably growing
b. PH is sitting at 6.2, and not fluctuating - using dechlorinated water source
Day 10 - she is growing
a. nothing new to report

a. we have a root in the pool!
b. there will be many more to follow, the water level is just at the base of the basket
Day 13 - you can depend on FastBuds

Day 14 - explosive growth
a. roots are about 5cm into the pool, she is taking off

@Ganjagrandaddy, that is some real clandestine knowledge for sure! I will add it to my toolkit! Thanks a million!! (: Luckily our environment is super clean, and the humidity is dropping fast!!!!!!
@SwissKush,as crazy as it sounds , raw milk at 20% ratio to water will kill mould spores at stem level and leave no nasties after . The milk has an enzyme that forces the mould spore to replicate WITH itself and not as another cell growth so it kills the spore by sterilising its ability to take hold. It is safe and as long as you dont keep drowning them and keeping them wet with the spray , the milk does not have time to go off and create any smell nor issues . Can leave a very light mark where contact was like a coating but wont damage anything at all and is all natural. No joke at all. Milk is a growers friend and can even benefit the soil when used in the feeds too. My 1st grow here was with breast milk as a nutrient !!!!! Add bicarb and tobacco steeped water and it is a killer for any soft bodies visitors as it suffocates them by closing their airways on contsct
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks SO much!!! She smells incredible! Our ventilation and fans have been going non stop, as well as about 5 trips a day to the tent to air the space out, shake the plant etc. Hoping the breeders claims to resilience is true! (: Any tips are welcome (: our box is outdoors, so using a dehumidifier cannot be done like our inside tent. We used to source hanging dehumidification bags, but since covid those are gone. Luckily the airflow around everything is great.
@Blabina, thanks a million! (: I think the reason my hydroponics always work well is A. I do not use a digital PH meter, I use chemical test always, B. I use 3% H202 to rid bacteria. C. I feed my plants the ppm levels they need in hydro, never use my ppms for soil or coco, it will wreck them.
