Nothing to show right now. Using Octopots for the first time. First time using Mephisto also. Excited to see what it can do. Using 6 gallon pots along with 6 gallon reservoir. Soaked seeds in water for 24 hours then used paper towel method until tap root showed. Then I put it in the dirt with glass over top to increase humidity. No nutrients yet until it at least breaks the surface. May be a week before I add nutrients. Temp is currently 75 degrees.
Kicking off week 2 and the seeds have broken the soil. Tap root hasn't reached the bottom of the pot yet, but I can definitely tell the Octopot is wicking the water into the pot like it said it would. Reservoir is still full so I'm not gonna do anything yet until I can visually see the level go down. Not gonna add any nutrients for probably another week.

DLI 16
End of week 2. Went ahead and added nutrients into the reservoir. Nutrient solution pH was 5.5. Mixed it in with the reservoir and it went up to 6.5. Seedlings drunk a gallon of water within the past week. Still doing 18/6 light schedule. Gonna do that the whole grow. Temp in the tent has went down with is lovely. See y'all next week for the next update.

DLI 20
Cleaned reservoir and filled it only with 2 gallons of ph'd water. Trying to get the roots to reach the bottom. I made a mistake before and used too much water. Hopefully me fixing that mistake will help the plants grow more. Still growing rapidly. doubled in size. Upped the DLI to 30. PPFD is at 470. Plan on starting LST next week. Officially 21 days old at this point.
Huge change from last week. Day 28 for Walter White. Added Floralicious Plus and will be using that the rest of the grow. Gonna order some LST clips to help with the ScrOG. I noticed what I believed to be light stress, so I dimmed the lights to 30 DLI. Upped it to 35 DLI for this week to see how it does. PPFD is at 560. Also noticing these light green spots on the leaves. If anyone has any idea what it could be then I would love to know. Plant is clearly still growing strong. See y'all next week.
Day 35. Had some explosive growth over the past week, but I noticed many deficiencies in the plant. Turns out I was underfeeding it. Just makes me wonder just how big it could've gotten if fed correctly. Tripled the nutrients for this week, then I will go back to using 50% strength nutes as directed by Octopot (was using 25%. Upped it to 75% to recover). Used 15 ml for 4 gallons of the FloraSeries. DLI is now at 45 with about 610 PPFD. Roots are shooting more into the reservoir every day. I expect even more explosive growth.
Plant is drinking a lot more now. Drunk almost 6 gallons in 5 days. Filled the reservoir full, it's now at 6 gallons. Did some lollipopping and defoliation earlier in the week. Roots still looking healthy also. DLI is at 45, PPFD at 610.
Day 49. Experienced some deficiencies this past week but I've upped the nutrients and I'm gonna see if that helps. Still seeing a lot of growth. Did another defoliation. DLI is still at 45. PPFD 610. Plant is still growing and roots are bigger. I'll count this as a win for now.
Excuse me for the short comment and late entry. I'm severely depressed. Had an explosion of growth over the last week. May have another month before it's done.
