First Autos

The stretch is in full swing this week! The left plant in particular has grown a ton vertically, so much so that it hit the light twice before I caught it. Buds have tons of white pistils, and sugar leaves are starting to get some frost, particularly on the right plant. Growing conditions are looking pretty stable. EC has gone down though since I haven't been home and don't want to make my friend mix up a full batch of nutes. I'll be home this week so will have to give the plants a fresh batch of water and nutes. I'll also want to do some defoliation of lower dying leaves, and adjust side lights a bit since the plants have gotten so tall now. I've been out of town for 3 weeks now and the automation setup has been holding up well. Having someone go to my house and do all the hydro tasks has helped illuminate where automation is falling short and where it's doing well. Tasks for this week included * refill humidifier (x2) * refill pH down res (x1) * add water to reservoir (5 gallons)
