Critical Orange Punch

Day 22, 4/14/24 Today I slightly rotated the pots, got to keep them ladies on their toes you know, then I checked the pH of the soil and the moisture levels. I'm going to be good for another day are two before I have to water again. They're starting to get pretty tall and thicken up nicely. Their leaves are really exploding, I love seeing this part of the grow! Day 23, 4/15/24 I've been working on my nat issue. It's not huge, but if I let it get out of hand for just one day it will, and I'm tired of these stupid yellow sticky things so I'm adding a couple of inches of sand after taking off a couple of inches of topsoil or at least as far down as I can go before I hit roots. I'll be finishing this up tomorrow. Day 24, 4/16/24 Today I was gonna spend the morning in my flower room rearranging my plants so I could lose one of my 4 240 w HLG lights. Those are the meanest lights I've ever seen. When you're training and have them raised to the ceiling and it still puts off enough light intensity to make you actually feel it pushing you, those are intense...smh..but to have that much intensity, there's a lot of power used, and some moderate heat made. But after I got started training I kept seeing something in the corner of my eyes, and after finding out its gnats moving around in my soil making it look lime it was moving. I immediately stopped training, went and got 2 50 lb bags of sand and started the process of sucking out the top soil, watering and letting it dry some, and replacing it with sand. Sand should take them out almost completely! I got my flower room done, and couple in the veg room, but it's enough to last most of the day tomorrow doing it. Day 25, 4/17/24 I talked number three today. I cut the first note off leaving just a second and third node taking 4 and 5 and attempting a clone. The sand is working great! Day 26, 4/18/24 The sands worked amazing! The gnats are completely gone and all of my rooms, and no more yellow tacky sticky traps! If you move the sand out of the way mostly nutrients go right through it to where they need to go and the PVC pipes with holes in the bottom are working amazing for bottom feeding. Day 27, 4/19/24 Today I trained my other topped plant down but this one hasn't grown nodes long enough to justify tying it down. But they're all looking amazing! Day 28, 4/20/24 Today, since it's a holiday, all I'm doing is checking to see if they need watering and if the lights need adjusting and I'm partying it up! Have a good day guys be safe!
