Day 60 (SS) & Day 55 (DG) COVID is leaving my body. The worst is behind me (fingers crossed). Still no real hungery, and I am super tired most of the time. Onward and upward. Observations: Super Skunk should be renamed Honey Badger. From a stunted little twiglett to the largest "bush" I've grown. I trained it last week and it is still shooting upward. Double Grape, on the other hand, is more like the the sickly little runt of the litter. Ok, I'm being a little dramatic, but it constantly displays evidence of some slight deficiency (or toxicity). About Photos: Day 60 & 55 was yesterday. These pictures are "over" processed for my enjoyment. Meaning, don't take the coloring and try to diagnose anything. Enjoy them for the texture and filling out of each plant. P-K Boost: Yesterday, I decided to do a little P-K boost, using Flower Fuel. This morning (Day 61 & 55) I swear the pistils were whiter and more abundant. Real Growers Challenge: Because of all the issues along the way, I am no longer posting photos for the Real Growers Challenge with the appropriate hashtag on Instagram. I don't think my experience with Grow Dots truly reflects the potential for this method of nutrition application. My reasoning: I like and respect Mr. Real and the Real Growers Community too much to present my (most likely) growing errors into the mix. I've been open and honest this whole grow on this Journal, so it's not like I am glossing over anything. I hope most people have a much more positive experience with Grow Dots. However, for me, this has not be a set it and forget it grow ... just add water, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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!
