Lowered the light to 22.5" to give 525 PPFD.
She got her top dress to day. I have NO idea how to deal with dry amendments in the nutrient chart, so I'm putting the info here (the 1 tsp/gal measurement specified above is just to keep the stupid chard happy.)
1/3 C Craft blend.
2 TBSP Kashi Blend
0.5 tsp Big 5 Micronutrients
All that got mixed together and spread on top of the pot and light scratched in, I then spread 1.5 C Build-A- Flower Top Dress over the other stuff.
That all then got watered in with a solution containing everything listed above EXCEPT FOR the dry amendments.
I'm also going to improvise plastic "mulch" from a trash bag (my shower caps haven't arrived and I really can't wait).

She seems to be taking off. She may be ready for me to start watering from the bottom soon. She's not as far along as one of the other plants, but she's close.
12/19/22 Lifted the pot covers and misted the top of the soil to keep it moist.
@ZoobZoob_farmZ, thanks this one is going pretty good, but I gotta figure out what happened to the pic on this one, that green cast isn't in my version! I didn't see it until I came here to check out your comment.
@delray_kevin, I need to have a go with living soil, see excellent results from it. You will definitely like the end result with this strain. Good luck with the remainder of the grow. Looking great.
@Hashy, thanks!
I have limited experience with growing this plant, but my experience with others and harvest times is holding true. Sometimes the breeders are more or less right, others, not so much. The plant is always right, regardless of what it is. I'm really excited to see how this plant comes out. This is my first living soil run and I can already see differences of salt based nutrients, but have no clue how those will translate into the final product.
@@Chunga, I just put it in the Grove Bag today. But I couldn't help myself, it was super sticky trimming it, so I sampled a bit ;). She's very uplifting and energizing. I wouldn't indulge in this I was trying to sleep. The taste is amazing! It's very sweet, but not cloying, with hints of something that reminds me of bubblegum. I just got a couple of Earth Boxes and will be running this again. I think I changed too many things this time going organic and trying the self-watering trays. Next run I'm sticking with the living soil, but will only change the container.
