This week was a good week for the most part in the garden! Even with being as hot as it has the last few weeks. I've been getting steady tempature and humidity readings in the 70°-77° F and 45-55 humidity range in all tents.
Ethos Grandpa's Cookies #7 x Lilac Diesel #22- This seedling is still looking really healthy it has green sheen leaves and has three sets of fan leaves now. It's working on its fourth set of leaves and some little branches that are begining to grow in now! It stands at about 7 inches tall and it's stalk has thickened up a bit this week. This plant drinks it's water well and reacts well to its small bi weekly feedings of Trinity and Mykos WP.
HSO/ Giest Grow Tow Truck- This seedling finally grew out of its weird leaf deformity it had going on last week. It now sports some healthy, fat indica dominant leaves and it working on its third healthy set. It still sits a lot shorter at 4 inches, but it's stalks thickness and leaf size are the same as the Ethos Seedling! So I'm happy to have the Tow Truck back in the race! I did cut off one of the crappy leaves and the plant didn't seem to mind it at all so the other one is coming next! This seedling also drinks it's water well and enjoys the small feedings as well!
I only plan to keep these seedlings and in these small cups for about one or two more weeks. I then plan to transplant into some 1/2 Gallon seedling pots I bought from Amazon. These pots are short and squat, so I can fit 9 of them in the 30 inch Mars Hydro Clone Tent easily without being too close to the light! This should buy me enough time to finish my flower run in my main tent. This has been a struggle in the past but I think I finally have it more dialed down. Still watering in at around 6.6 pH with my hand sprayer.
Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2- The clones in the flowering room are putting on nice sized buds. The Number Two Pheno is giving me some trouble with what appears to be a Potassium/ Magnesium deficiency, I amended in some Langbenite from Down to Earth, i think this may just be a potting issue however. I have 3 Number 2 Phenos in some juiced up 5 gallons with 100% new 3.0 Build a Soil, Build a Flower, I used build a bloom and peach ferments according to schedule. The Number One Phenos in the 15 gallons with 50% used and 50% new soil, with the cover crop are rocking through flower phase. I really enjoy being in the 15 gallons. I ran into this same Potassium/ Mag issue around this time last run with both phenos of this strain. They were both in 5 gallon pots. The buds still turned out really good last run! But this run I'm really excited for the number one phenos, looking this healthy. They smell a little danker in my opinion this time as well!
That about sums up this week! Thank you for checking out this entry of my grow diary! Catch you next week!

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!
