(Day 22) I have started LST on all plants. Light defoliation only on an area or two where large leaves were covering bud sites. All plants look very healthy. No signs of any problems at all. (Day 25) Continued LST and light defoliation. Noticed light burn on some leaf tips on CDLC 2 and have concluded that Ghost Toofs droopiness is likely from light stress. I raised the light to 30" and bumped up the power to level 7 on the AC-Infinity controller 69. PPFD numbers are now 330-370 at canopies read with a Spot-On brand quantum sensor. I did this to help better distribute light across the canopies since my light is a quantum board style LED. It made a very noticeable difference in light penetration as well. I will still gradually raise PPFD numbers through the grow and watch for signs of light stress in the plants. I also added a mild dose of Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra to the res and top fed a mild dose of Recharge to each pot. (Day 27) Continued LST and light defoliation. Soil slurry PH tested at 6.7. All plants are beginning to flower very lightly showing only a couple hairs here and there. Ghost Toof perked up immensely after raising the light and lowering PPFD. Mixed 7ml/gal Sensi-Bloom A & B, 3.5ml/gal Carboload and 3.5ml/gal Bud Candy into a five gallon bucket and added it to the reservoir. (Day 28) I actually turned off the Autopot system last night thinking that it might actually be overwatering the plants. This morning all plants including the always droopy Ghost Toof were praying and perky. There was also a good growth spurt from all of the plants after yesterdays LST and defoliation. Ghost Toof and Meph Wedding are both starting to flower pretty fast now compared to the two CDLC. CDLC may want to veg a touch longer than the others. I cannot decide if it was the Carboload and Bud Candy that I added to the res, the bump in Sensi-Bloom from 5ml to 7 or if it was simply turning the Autopots off over night that made all the girls so happy. I may turn the system off again tonight and see how they look in the AM.

Suggestions on a decent reasonably priced CO2 meter? Thanks

Hey there. So, I tried answering this earlier but I was banned. So here's round 2. I've invested heavy into co2. And when delving into that. You really don't wanna go cheap pal. As I suspect. That you just don't wanna know your levels but are looking to enhance them. Well, say you get a meter and it reads 1500ppm and it's over 5000 cause your plants are locked out of photosynthesis (which if you don't have the right environment extra co2 beyond ambient level will just increase and increase and be deadly in the environment. Co2 stays low to the ground so, any pets small kids and so on, are the 1st to come into contact. So, I would highly suggest you spend more or close to 200e on a well known brand. So many reviews I seen on amazon with meters giving much lower reading that what was really there. My pro leaf. Its one of the best on the market that doesn't cost as much as the Eco / growtech but just as good. If not better you'll find they all use parts of the same reg vivoson. It'll set u back 290e can go up to 500$ on some sites. You'll get a fuzzy logic controller that reads co2 by the second. And is as safe as they come. If there's a fault. It turns off.

The only leaf in the entire tent looking a little mad. My instinct says leave it and see if any others pop up. Thoughts?

Looks like Septoria. Clip it and spray a copper foliar spray just in case. Dont want it spreading and you can avoid future issues at the cost of and one fan leaf...

Looking for experience with the Autopot system. This is the first time I have used it. 12gal reservoir. I change out the res weekly but by the end of the week it has a foul smell to it. Cleaned each time with half bottle of 3% Peroxide. Is this par for the course? Thanks!

depending on size and frequency this may or may not be an option for your context.. i find topping off at at half capacity or more in my rez allows me to delay cleaning a bit longer than letting it go down to 10 gallons or so and refilling (55 gal drum). I refill at 25gal. the rez is in a different room which is cooler than grow area. the heat from powerheads that stir the water have less impact on a larger volume and i add 30-35 gallons of winter tap water that is fairly cold every 3-4 days at peak use. the key is the temperature. if it's warmer you will have to clean more often. also, can adjust the volume you use and just refill more frequently with fresh water. have a volume that lasts 4-5 days instead of a week. if you can't avoid it, then work around it. adding h2o2 to the res will definitely help. not sure how much and how often, but it breaksdown fairly fast and faster in 'hard' water which is what fertilized water would be considered.

@Pablo42069, Thank you sir, and thanks for the comment. I am very interested in the CDLC as well. I love a good couch-lock.

I hate admitting this but the best grow I ever did was with Advanced Nutrients Grow Micro Bloom, 1 burple light and 2 Mars most inexpensive light. If there are any doubts look at my first diary and the week 11 or 10 video. 2 Fast BudsvGG at end of video they're tied down, RocBudInc Purple Roc V1 white label. Crystal meth x Purple Roc Berry and the very first plant Mephisto Hubbabubbasmellascope. 4 plants under those cheap lights and cheap Nutrients no supplements yielded a hair over 6 pounds cured bud. I haven't been able to repeat that since and get more confused after every grow. I get close but not like my 1st grow.

Nice looking grow! Does it feel better being legal? Glad to see some local gromie’s on here.
