First Grow - ILGM Autoflower BD, BK, GSC

From_ChE_Farms (3/4) - Added some DI water to the jiffy pellets, cut off the net, and transferred them to solo cups filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest. Added water to the soil and placed them in the tent. Set the grow light to 50% brightness at 24 inches. Setup the humidifier to control the humidity at 75%. (3/5) - The humidifier nozzle was set on auto instead of humidity control and created puddles in the tent and soaked the carbon filter lining. I dried up the water puddles and adjusted the humidifier to point in a different direction. Turned off the humidifier for now. (3/6) - Keeping humidifier off today, currently around 50% RH. All the plants are ~1.75 inches tall and they're growing their second set of leaves. (3/7) - The tent is fully dried out, going to turn on the humidifier at 55% and adjust the grow light to 75% power. (3/8) - I suspect the airflow through the tent may be too low. Another plant I started before these was showing signs that look like overwatering, but I think it's taken a long time to recover because the airflow is so low. I'm going to adjust the airflow control up from ~40% to 100% to see if conditions improve. (3/9) - Higher airflow caused the soil to dry out pretty quick. I'm going to water today and keep the airflow at 100%. I watered the plants with 10 fl oz of water and Daisy got slightly more on accident, probably about 4.5 fl oz.

From_ChE_Farms (3/11) - I realized the stunted plant was in a solo cup too long, time for an emergency re-potting before vacation! RATS! I cut some roots off and "re-organized" some soil, but they'll be okay. I gave them 10 oz of water which they split evenly, for 3 girls in the same room the lack of drama is surprising🤣 fingers crossed its stays that way while I'm gone🤞 (3/14) - They're looking dry after returning from vacation and I think they're ready for some half-strength nutes. I'm using half DI water, half tap water, and mixed up the nutes as described above. Watered with 1.5 cups of solution and 0.5 cups of tap water per plant focusing on the soil directly around the plant, this amount of water provided just enough to see a small runoff. Set the grow light to 100% power. (3/16) - Watered with 3 cups of tap water each. The runoff pH is extremely low... BD = 5.21, BK = 5.09, GSC = 4.78. I didn't check the pH of the nutrient water on (3/14), oh well, noob mistake, I'd rather just fix the pH next time than flush. (3/17) - Doing good :)

From_ChE_Farms (3/20) - Watered with 25% nutes and 4 cups of water each, pH adjusted to 7.46 this time. The runoff pH is BK = 6.6, BD = 6.56, GSC = 6.74. The light is now 22" from the plant. (3/22) - Topped Luna and Thin Mints. Tried to take off as little as possible. (3/24) - Based on the drooping I think I may be watering slightly late :(. Watering 5 cups with a little less than 25% nutes, pH adjusted to 7.15. The runoff pH was BD = 5.73, GSC = 6.1, BK = 6.17. As i water new parts of the soil the pH lowers because of the nutes built into the soil. No worries, they'll be happy to have water. I'm going to expect that they need some water on Saturday and check.

From_ChE_Farms (3/25) - It's amazing how quickly they bounce back when they get the water and nutrients they need. They've already reached back to the light after the light LST from yesterday. Pulled them back down and tucked some leaves out of the way to expose the lower branches to light. (3/26) - Just noticed some yellow/brown discoloration on Thin Mints and after further inspection, it's on all of them. After doing some research I believe it is nutrient burn caused by low pH. (3/27) - I'm more confident that it is caused by low pH now and I've decided to do a flush on Thin Mints and make sure that Luna and Daisy are getting 20% runoff volume which I haven't been doing. I could not lower the pH on Thin Mints even after flushing with probably close to 5 gallons, I even raised the pH to 8.5 and it still came out below 6. The final pH I got was 5.8, the other two have runoff of 6.2 and 6.1. For some reason there is something keeping the pH of this soil below 6, I didn't add anything, I think it's a bad batch of FFOF, I ordered a two-pack from amazon and only 1 came, so I think this was the last one on the shelf :(. (3/28) - Luna and Daisy are looking better than yesterday and I'm not too worried about them, they seem healthy. Thin Mints on the other hand seems to still be deteriorating, I touched her most yellow/brown leave today and it was so stiff it broke. I'm not really sure what else I can do to fix her, I'm just gonna hope things workout. (3/30) - Watered before vacation. Still fighting low pH issues

From_ChE_Farms (4/4) - The pH issues in the soil are definitely showing. Going to water with high pH water 7.8 for 1 gallon, runoff pH was 6.7-7. (4/5) - Did a flush with tap water (pH = 7.74) for 5 min each plant. Watered down to the bottom of the plant, the soil was very displaced and all the perlite came to the top.

From_ChE_Farms (4/11) - The pH is now somewhat in range, but I think some of them are becoming more alkaline. Will start watering with target pH water and then adjust to get back to the target pH.
