Going into Week 2 of Veg in the Mars Hydro 30 inch Clone Tent (2x2) under the Viparspectra V1000. This clone tent currently houses my 2 new seedlings, and 8 clones of my Raspberry Ripple from last run. These tiny tents are great for getting a run started with minimal space. Still watering with airated purified water (pH 7.0 without adjusting) This seems to be working well but I would like to get a better water source.
Such as a scrubber or RO filter of some kind soon.
Ethos Grandpa's Cookies #7 (x) Lilac Diesel #22- This seedling has stretched a fair bit this week and became kind of leggy. It's still pretty stable, despite being so tall and skinny. So I gently propped a bread tie behind it to help make sure it stays growing straight. Today I measured the par. It was sitting at 100. So it may just be the spectrum. It seems healthy still! It's working on its third set of leaves and stands at 6 inches tall.
Tow Truck (Humboldt Seed Organization)- The Tow Truck has stayed shorter and not stretched as bad. It stands at 3 inches tall. It's leaf growth has been a little weird looking. It's pretty uneven. Still darker green. I'm waiting for it to form more mature leaves to see what exactly is going on with it!
This week I used a small dose of EM-5 (Build A Soil) with water. This is a soapy cleaner made from organic Grape Alcohol and Apple Ferments. I foliar sprayed all plants in the tent with this in order to prevent fungus gnats or any other pests from picking on my young seedlings. I'm still watering in very lightly daily with a spray bottle. Both seedlings are still drinking water and adding new growth.
Flower Tent- The Flower tent is working on day 18. I'm growing out the clones from last run. The clones are exhibiting the same traits as the mother plants and are doing well! I went in bigger pots this time. Especially for the larger #1 Phenos I put in 15 gallons, with partial cover crop. I'm hoping to last out a little longer using larger pots. After looking at my trichomes last run on my growmie's microscope. I did see a lot of clear coverage. The fade was just so fierce last time, I misjudged and harvested about a week early i'd say. I stepped my HLG Blackbird up from around 650 up to 800 par, for the upcoming bulking weeks.
That was my week in the garden! Not a lot going on just checking on seedlings and new clones everyday. Feeding the flower room Build a Flower, Build a Bloom, BioAg TM-7 and Peach Ferment as scheduled. Thank you for checking out this week's entry of my Grow Diary!

good job bro keep going. i can see the purple colors are coming out . you are one of few persons i saw to do cover cropping beside main plant you did great job dude your terpens will flow
@Grower_Of_Persia, the cover crop seemed to really help even the soil out. I noticed it helped keep this layer of moisture in the top soil and keeps it from getting hydrophobic. Thank you for your feedback and checking out my grow diary!
