She made it! I was nervous at first but the clone is growing now. Should be a good strain and looking forward to growth and training her. Looking to top her soon!
@PapaNugs, Any time my friend. A blue lab pulse really helps. It is how we read the moisture content of the beds when I worked the big 200 lighter. I need to get one for the next series when we build beds lol, It would work just as good in bags too. We would read the beds in 3 separate spots then avg out the moisture content readings
@PapaNugs, Freaking beautiful. Now your passing into week 4 flower, Try to keep the moisture content in the bags around 40-50% full don't let them go full dry any more. The roots are finished growing week 3 and do not respond to searching out for water by drying the substrate out. At this point it is all about hitting water consumption rate numbers to yield what we wanna yield. 3 gallons in 24hrs will give you 1 dry pound of cannabis, can be 1 plant or 10 plants or 100 plants. This number was figured out when California went through a huge drought after legalization and all growers of all kinds of crops had to show exactly how much water it took to produce X amount of sellable harvest. So these numbers are pretty much bang on and will scale all the way up. 6 gallons in 24hrs will give you 2 pounds, etc. Up until week 3 flower focusing heavily on root development and getting the plants ready to consume those numbers is key. Another good trick is to drop your PH to 5.8 5.9 now at this stage, If you check out this site and look at the graph, Read the article it will help you. So essentially when your PH falls into the more acidic side of things you begin to open up more availability of phosphorus, Calcium and potassium things that the plant needs to flower more affectively. It is a good little tweak to draw out that little bit extra from your harvest we always used to do it in the 200 lighter the master grower there taught it to me.
Similarly, when the soil becomes too alkaline, phosphorus and calcium canβt be broken down which stunts the plantβs bud development. This is why I always say 6.1 is good for most all growth cycle in soil going up into the high 6's you begin to lock out these important flower nutrients even on a small scale the impact on bud production and cake is huge.

Keep up the great work. I cannot WAIT to see these enter into late flower & chop time. I am tuned in excitedly XD
