Day 15: We are the 22nd of august 2023, I am not going to water today as it seems to be growing much faster when there's a day between feeds Day 16 We are the 23rd of august 2023 Horrifying day for cookie today, a bug did some damage to one of her leaves, and I found a single fungus gnat, So I immediately went to work and put yellow sticky traps to catch adult fungus gnats I swiped the leaf with a cotton swab soaked in a 1% solution of hydrogen peroxide, hope this kills any larvae/egg the bug might've put on the leaf, I've only swabbed one leaf for now, to see how it reacts to hydrogen peroxide (if it burns the leaf I'll either have to dilute it more or change pest control method, for example using neem oil). Fertigated once with the same juice mix as last time, however I lowered the pH as to balance it more. input pH 6.06 input EC 561 input ppm 280 output pH 7.33 output EC 768 output ppm 380 You can see in the first image what happened to the leaf in question It LOOKS like leaf miners, however I am pretty confident it is in fact not, as this was a white bug about a centimeter long with 4 legs, not sure if it had wings but it didn't want to leave my plant so i took it off with a pair of tweezers and it didn't come back afaik. The second image is how it looks right after feeding! Day 17 We are the 24th of august 2023 Didn't do anything today. Day 18 We are the 25th of august 2023 Didn't feed today. Day 19 We are the 26th of august 2023 Today I made a new juice mix, with more nutes: 0.5ml/L calmag and 1.0ml/L canna coco A&B each. input pH 6.3 input EC 648 input ppm 324 output pH 7.11 output EC 641 output ppm 320 I don't know why but the leaves seem droopy, I probably am watering too often (keep in mind I am using a 50/50 mix of coco coir/perlite, and a small cup so it is pretty uncommon to overwater even when feeding once a day or multiple times a day for some people), or it may be rootbound, transplanting tomorrow. Also you may have seen but these sideways curling leaves indicate in my opinion that something is wrong in the roots, I have done research but couldn't find why it does this. Day 20 We are the 27th of august 2023 Same juice mix as yesterday. input pH 6.14 input EC 650 input ppm 325 Today, I transplanted, first I tried getting the plant out rolling the cup between my two hands but it wouldn't get out easily, so I decided to just cut the cup, however there was a huuuge spider on my arm and it made me drop her, I was soooo scared I broke the main root! However it didn't appear to be the case, I lost a few roots during the transplant too because of this. The first two photos are before the transplant, and the last photo is after a few hours when the leaves perked back up.

Grow Questions

My tap water is at 700EC (very hard), and I add nutes normally until around 1000EC, which gives little room for nutes, if I replace with distilled water, can I go up to 1000EC with it ? (gonna be a LOT more nutes).

My tap water is around 300-350ppm or 0.6-0.7EC I will mix my feeds up in it and have no ill effects. its on the lower end of hard water if you place it on a scale vs others. Hardness of the water is not judged by its PPM count but more so how much of the mineral content is calcium and magnesium. Other things can influence the EC of water but not make it hard. Distilled waster will have many more available nutirents vs tap water when both are at a EC of 1.0 or 500PPM if using the 500 scale. If tap is .7 that only leave .3 of fertilizer to make 1.0EC but 1.0EC in distilled "0.0" is 3.333 times stronger as theirs no base charge like in tap water "0.7", and with liquid fertilizers they are totally available to the plants where tap water has compounds that will not affect the plants right away as they need to be broken down first. So you could run the risk of overfeeding in that setting. Best Of Luck!

I remarked that my plant grows much faster when I leave a day in between feeds, but that's not applicable to every plant, and I want a sure way of knowing exactly when my plant needs water(using coco coir/perlite, I'll answer more in replies as there's a limit of chars here)

watering is reactive... you react to the outcome. you are soilless so it's even simpler. fertilize every single irrigation around 1.3-1.5 EC. ratio/balance is obviously key, so you'll have to work that out over time.. observe and adjust. in coco, wait for top layer to start changing colors, and it's a good time to fertilize again. If the plant drinks fast, more frequent fertigation is possible and you do realize additional growth from that method. I'd suggest forming a good baseline doing it a safe and conservative way first, then you can more easily assess whether any risks of doing it are worth it or not. you need at least 33% loss of water weight before you fertigate again or you'll just drown the roots or increase risk of infecion in roots. i wouldn't do this early on in life. a larger more mature plant or as you go into bloom, sure. I'd rather i grow my roots early on in a way that makes them grow deep and aplenty. roots follow moisture in a reactive way. you get fewer superficial roots (at surface they become useless if exposed to light) by having a good wet-dry cycle. the top will always dry first. if you want to do multiple fertigations a day or water when the pot is only lost 33% of the water you previously gave (can feel the weight to judge), wait until the plant is a bit more mature or flip to bloom. growth is a curve. it's slow at first. these sort of things help, but not nearly as much later one. it's worth the small loss for improved root growth early.

There's chlorosis between the veins and red stemming, indicating a magnesium deficiency, however both calmag and alot of epsom salt (EC is within target dw) were used to fix the deficiency and it seems to still be progressing, is this lockout ? more info in the answer to this

Could be lockout, to help identify your deficiency issues I recommend reading this blog https://futureharvest.com/blogs/articles/how-to-identify-cannabis-nutrient-deficiencies?_pos=1&_sid=f81d0e725&_ss=r Because symptoms often progress even after applying a curative approach I'd just make sure you are following your nutrient schedule keeping EC around 1.2-1.5 or so and maybe go easy on the epsom salt. Often times its a good idea to flush the media of nutrients with alot of water and then just introduce calmag to your regular feeding schedule. Lockout can occur too when a plant's environment, watering regimen and temperatures are out of whack. Coco coir can be slow draining so make sure it dries out before each watering. Hope this helps! -Bryce from Future Harvest Nutrients

Questions: did you use a dome or baggie for the humidity at all? Of so for how long should I cover my seedling for, it's about 2-3 weeks old now, do I still need to cover it? Mostly growing on my windowsill but I have lights too. But does it still need a cloche?

@James, Thanks a lot man! This is for sure gonna be an awesome grow, this is one of the most resistant strains I've come across somehow and I just love it so much. How long do you recommend for veg/flower for this strain ? I want a decent yield from this girl
