Marathon OG Auto // DarkOwl // DWC

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 8 (Mar 12, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH PPM 240 Temp: 70F PH 6.6 PH rising. I had this issue on previous runs. PH seems to climb for first two weeks. Clay pebbles have been washed, soaked in bleach /water solution, rinsed and then boiled from last run. This is my first time re-using clay pebbles and was hoping it would fix the PH climbing issue before the roots hit the water. Guess not. Thanks to AN PH perfect tech, I’ll continue to ignore the PH. Marathon #1 has some vigor already yet its tap root is visible but winding around up in the net pot. - Doing well up top of the net pot, green and the first set of leaves (after cotyledons) are striving. - Still no roots coming down yet. I see a bunch winding around and popping out of rapid rooter when I look up into the net pot with a flash light. - Turned small fan on low for internal airflow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 9 (Mar 13, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH Water: PPM: 240 Temp: 68F PH: 6.7 Gave her some private time. No disruptions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 10 (Mar 14, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH Water: PPM: 240 Temp: 68F PH: 6.8 - Noticeable growth on the upside of the plant. - Did not check roots - will check tomorrow. - PH still rising one point per day. - Back-filled rest of net pot with pebbles - since net pot visor is in place, light leak wasn’t really an issue. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 11 (Mar 15, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH Water: PPM: 240 Temp: 68F PH: 6.9 - More noticeable growth today. - Tap root is visible in the Current Culture net pot cavity when I look underneath the net pot. Considerable growth given a single day. Should be in the waterl by the end of day tomorrow at this rate. - First set of true leaves after the cotyledons and single leaves just revealed itself. - Added 3ml of Orca to reservoir. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 12 (Mar 16, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH Water: PPM: 240 Temp: 68F PH: 6.9 - Another day of noticeable growth up top. - Removed a few pebbles around top of rapid rooter to checked rapid rooter moisture content - Looks moist (not wet) and spongey. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 13 (Mar 17, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH Water: PPM: 240 Temp: 68F PH: 6.8 - Everything looking good. More noticeable growth today. Will check root growth tomorrow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 14 (Mar 18, 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Air: Temp: 78F Humidity: 70% RH Water: PPM: 250 Temp: 68F PH: 6.7 - PH slightly dropping now. - I’m going to let PH ride for now. I’m adding some AN Sensi Grow Coco tomorrow to try and bring the ph down more and hit the 300ppm mark. - Root check! Looks like there are some air roots forming in the inner net pot and three roots of equal length. Root development has been steady all week although most of it has taken place up in the net pot verse dangling into water. When these three all hit the water at same time, the leaf and branch development should take off.
