Garlic Budder – HSC – Fabric Pots Scrog

Introduction - Week 07 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 9838.99, Another great grow week! Been tending to the flower tent and have been trying to keep up with watering! This grow cycle is the most I’ve ever had to water by far. In the veg tent, took the soaked clone cuttings and have already begun the rooting process in Coco Coins. Also topped the plants and have been watering as needed. Will hopefully be transplanting the rooted cuttings next week. Also upgraded my home’s drinking water and am gradually switching from store bought distilled water to reverse osmosis filtered water. This will eventually progress into watering automation. Perfect timing as well because these ladies are thirsty! Anyways, onwards to next week!

Have a pretty huge update! --- Been working on upgrading my home’s drinking water source. - [22:40]: Recently installed an APEC Reverse Osmosis Water System (ROES-100). --- Currently have a 4-gallon storage tank, but can always add more later. --- Now the entire family can drink fresh clean water and we no longer need to buy distilled water from the market. --- Up until now, we’ve been depending on bottled distilled water purchased from the store. --- As for the garden, - [22:42]: Routed an RO line straight from the source (in the kitchen) to the garden’s lung room. --- Now the garden has a steady pressurized supply line of clean RO water. Pretty epic! --- Going to be gradually switching all plant waterings from store bought distilled water to homemade reverse osmosis (RO) water. --- Still going to be using distilled water for the humidifiers for now, but will eventually switch to RO water. --- Also this opens up the opportunity for watering automation. Getting hyped! --- Anyways, - [22:44]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Refilled the humidifiers with distilled water as needed.
