We got the AC and electrical figured out at the new place for the grow - awesome...
However, the house AC unit turns out isn't good enough to cool the whole house, the unit is too small. We had two professionals come in and confirm that the unit is fine - just too small for this sized house. Every day the temp in this place climbs to 80F, my child has autism and is constantly gogogo playing - she cannot live under those conditions or risk a heat stroke etc. Because the unit is constantly running - our bill was a chunk more than it should have been.
My landlord doesn't seem to care, and because no past tenant has ever complained - she's not replacing the unit. When I expressed that this was not ok she offered to let me out of our lease, cool beans...next day she's for whatever reason not ok with my indoor grow and threatens to evict. She is completely in the wrong and I have broken zero laws, and have been entirely agreeable up till this point, but I simply do not have the time, patience, let alone the money to pursue her in court over this garbage.
So, sadly I was forced to trash these plants and put any/all plans aside while I hunt down another place to settle and start over. ๐

Plants were looking good though here at 29 days, the two that were showing signs of transplant shock were still going. The one with some LED stress would have grown out of it as she got bigger I'm sure - and the little gal had a root system that was starting to explode, she would have made it just fine.
Would have been time to top and start mainlining, trellis after that.
Towards the beginning of this grow I had thought I had some red algae pop up due to the old Hydrobucket lids letting in some light - I was wrong! Turns out that Southern AG bacillus is just waaaaay way more concentrated than hydroguard, I should have noted this and gave them .5 rather than 2ml. No harm done, you cannot really OD on bennies, they simply start to die off as there they culture and less food is available and can eat at your roots - these two things can start to resemble rot. (I feed my bennies to avoid this, fish emulsion and/or molasses - keeps the issue at a minimal and allows for smaller doses). A good example of this is my Alien Rock Candy diary - check the harvest day, picture of the roots. Thats what it would look like - I was using more photo-plus than was needed. Not something that will harm your plant per say, but it will result in smaller roots and some opportunity for growth lost.
