Finishing up germination week and she is looking nice. Been doing 18/6 and 6.2 pH water with 1/4 strength FF Big Bloom. That's the stinky bat guano, worm casings, and what not. Nothing wrong with her getting a little taste of the good life now. Arriving on Wednesday will be the Spartan Regiment from Nectar of the Gods. I did a slurry test on the FF Happy Frog I have her in and my Hanna GroLine came back with 5.95 pH. I'll take it for now! This will be the first grow where I did not use a specific autoflower living soil. I have had soil pH issues on every grow including my current #5 a couple of weeks from harvest. Every single fan leaf turned yellow and dropped off all mottled from, what I am assuming was, a potassium uptake issue. Not 100% certain but that's my uneducated guess. Rather than take the chance again I added NO amendments to the soil other than perlite. The soil is somewhere around 65/35 - 75/25 with another 2 inch layer of perlite at the bottom of the bag to help control root issues. After ALL of these issues with soil pH I've decided that I want to try to control the pH grow medium of my plants itself. I've been looking at DWC and think that's may just may be the solution. Have everything I need ordered and on the way.

@KingSalomonsWeed, Various levels of failure. Some worse than others but for the most part centering around soil pH issues. I didn't understand what a proper flush was and paid the price. I was just running enough water for testable runnoff and that's it. I had no idea that a proper flush consisted of 2 gallons of water for every gallon of pot size. So for me that would be TEN gallons of water and here I was thinking a 2-liter bottle was enough to mitigate soil issues. Oh...and don't confuse normal calyx growth with that of nanners. #2 got the chop because of false accusations of maleness. LOL! I have been the epitome of a grower flying by the seat of their pants with no clue what to do and a stubbornness to learn...up until recently.

I have a couple last parts on the way like the 4" rubber O-ring collar to better attach the fan to the filter and I have some shiny aluminum air vents for the ends of the hoses in the tent. Plus I want to silence the exhaust fan at the top of the tent like I did with its intake cousin. That thing is LOUD! I'll before and after photos of the change in decibel levels. It's amazing! Outside of this I think this tent is done and ready to grow a massive Afghan Mass XXL. Here is the post that inspired this grow. The main cola dried and trimmed at 7 ounces with 13 ounces total in a DWC setup. I figure with some new approaches to lights and nutrients with a very scientific approach to feeding then I am doing great at even half that harvest. This is definitely what I am using as a rule of thumb, at least. https://www.reddit.com/r/Autoflowers/comments/ql3atu/anyone_looking_for_an_auto_that_has_amazing/ Here are the upgrades to date: * Adjustable Bluetooth canopy level thermo-hygrometer. (H/DH controller sensor attached.) pat. pend. * Adjustable soon to be silenced Spider Farmer 205 CFM exhaust fan terminating in charcoal filter. * Adjustable silenced Spider Farmer dual port 205 CFM air intake; 62db -> 19db. * Adjustable aeration 6L dual port CO2 bubbler feeding pure CO2 to base of plant. * Adjustable Electric Sun ES-180 V3 wideband LED grow light. * Adjustable 2x40w 2 ft. Szhlux daylight LED side-lighting. * Adjustable 44# turntable for even canopy light in later veg. * Hum/Dehum controller with water recycling system (DH pipes to H). * Velco closure upgraded. * Nectar For The Gods non-NPK calcium based nutrient system.
