Hey now, I hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend. This little lady keeps chugging along, by far the smallest of the three, she is also a very sensitive feeder compared to the other two as the tips of her leaves got burned when I allowed the EC to creep up a little high in the reservoir by the end of the week, she got all the way up to 1.6 and that was a little too much for her and started affecting her leaves.
I currently have the Spectrum X running at 100% power and have upped the time on the UV/IR bars to 90 minutes just prior to lights off. I am super happy with this light so far, she puts out impressive PAR, and runs fairly cool. The only thing I would change is to have individual timers for the different spectrums.
Not much to do this week other than keep the reservoir full and in the correct PH range. The tomatoes outside are absolutely loving the runoff from these autos, as that is all they have had to drink since they were about 3 weeks old.
Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪

How Interesting! So we both use part of the GH flora line. I’m gonna have to look up what ya mention above and put that into my spread sheet. Lovely details. Thanks for posting! 🙂💚
@Tweezer, omg yea strain 6 has been insane. Just about to update the final weeks and harvest for that plant now. I was stuck in trim jail forever so haven’t been on too much! Love the girls above. And the tomato plants!!!
So Interesting about the leaves. I hadn’t realized that most of strain 6 was 3 leaf fans, or 5 at the most. Lol. I love all the little genetic differences we can find along the way of growing. Hope you having a great one! 😃
Dope notes! For seedlings, I use my "Cup Inside of a Cup" method:
Two "solo" cups, with the 1st solo cup's bottom removed and then the remaining cone is sliced in half. From there I fill the 2nd cup with about an inch of aquarium gravel and insert the two halves from the 1st cup (to make a cup inside of a cup).
When transplanting, I remove the outside cup and then place the plant into the hole. Then I gently slide out each half of the inside cup. One thing to note is that the new Solo cups have a weird shape that is not good for cup in cup. I had to switch to an off brand like Hefty.
Another cool thing is that I can check the progress of the seedling by briefly separating the two cups to check for root growth in the aquarium gravel.
@Tweezer, I just added some photos to my Germination week diary. I planted clones in their final flowering containers this around, so I do not have any live examples to show unfortunately.

@NegotiatedBubble, Hey now, I have heard of that technique but never tried it, do you have any pictures of the two solo cup technique? I want to try it but not really sure how to set it up...If there is any way to shave off even 24 hours in the seedling stage of an auto grow auto grow I am all about it....
