Day 47 (SS) & Day 42 (DG) Grow Dot Drama - Sort Of​ AquaValve Compartment Dropped Back into 4.xx range This happened even after removing water, then replacing with higher pH pour through. Pour Through was Recharge pH'd to 6.4 About 500 ml total I checked pH once the fluid passed through the coco (6.2). By overnight, that stagnant fluid had dropped back down. Solution: Emptied the compartment and placed that fluid in the master reservoir. Opened AutoPot valves and filled the chambers from master reservoir. Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch Otherwise, the plants look great. The branches are comfortable in their initial LST positions. I've done some light defoliating, mostly underneath. Some leaf-tucking Most solar panels are still in place. ----------------------------------------------------- Day 48 (Super Skunk) & Day 43 (Double Grape) I let the AquaValve Chamber go dry. Put 1300 ml of a Recharge mix through the Coco. The main Reservoir Valves Are Still Off, while plants take up the over pour. Applied a little more LST to the main stem (you can see leaning more to the left (plant to right). ----------------------------------------------------- Day 49 - Last Day of Week 7 Notes: Enough Pistils are now clustering. Starting tomorrow, switch to "Flower" for VPD purposes. Made batch of Mosquito Bits solution to water-in over next week.

Hope you don't mind my ducking in here (I was drawn by the cover photo you used! It intrigued me!)... But your photos are showing what I think is a serious manganese deficiency .. the real spotted pics... which indicates your pH is out of whack... (I HATE going into someone's diary and giving advice so PLEASE forgive me). I'll just pass along this article for you to read so you can determine if you've got this issue or not... and it will tell you how to correct it if you think it IS a manganese deficiency... https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/manganese-deficiency Good luck with your grow!

Wishing you the best of luck on the grow! I used the auto pots with a coco before as well. Ultimately, I moved to a drain to waste setup as I had issues with the autopots and the cloth bags. I also didn't like being "stuck" in their eco system of cloth bags. Only thing I might recommend is setting your ph a little higher to about 6.0-6.2ish for better N and the all important cal-mag for the coco battle, during veg. At least that works really for me in my journey with coco. Good luck sir!

@ExNavyInSTL, Ah! That's fair enough. I definitely check that link and I'll happily follow you on this journey. Cheers bud! 🍻

@Ze1ro, Thank you for the advice. My last grow was coco and I had Ca/Mg at the ready. As for pH, what I have been doing is starting at 5.8 (ish) and letting it drift up. When it hits 6.4, I bring it back down to 5.8. I like to think that allows a nice spectrum of "sweet spots" for a few of the elements to uptake at their best. As for N, I added that to my Ca/Mg foliar, and I have a Plan B with this stuff: PeptideSP. It's heavy on N (13-0-0), and you get the benefit of all the aminos and other bio-stimulants. That's the theory anyway. Here's a link to PeptideSP: https://hardygro.com/products/peptidesp Thanks again for checking out my grow. I'm over the hump now from the early stressors.

These plants were stunted early on from too much light, and saturated soil.

I had such a difficult start. 3 failed germination. Current grow is 3 different auto strains. In their last 10 days flushing. Heat and humidity, vpd which I understand but can't control. Lights give off a lot of heat and burned up my ladies. All your plants look great.

@Natrona, This has been my first drama-free grow. So far!
