***UPDATE 11/18/24***
Started the germination process all 4 should hopefully pop in the next 3 to 5 days, paper towel & ceramic plates at a PH of 5.9!
Put a stem to the side of the plate so I don't lose track of which order they are in xD
Decided to go with:
CrescendO #2 x SFV OG
CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG
CrescendO #16 x Tahoe OG
Colin OG Rbx
Will run the remaining 3 next go alongside another Colin OG Rbx!
***UPDATE 11/20/24***
3/4 Seeds germinated in less than 48hrs & are now in air pots, just waiting on the CrescendO #16 x Tahoe OG !
- Cleaned tent
- Cleaned clip fans & pointed them upwards
- Cleaned humdifier (currently set to 80% RH)
- Cleaned air pots & drip trays
- Printed & laminated labels for air pots
- Took PPFD & adjusted light accordingly (290 uMOL)
- Little bit of water at a PH of 5.9
***UPDATE 11/22/24***
The CrescendO #16 x Tahoe OG hasn't germinated yet... Has been kind of cold in the house the past couple of days so I moved the plate dome inside the tent so it can sit between 23c - 25c
The other 3 are already in the dirt but have yet to surface
***UPDATE 11/23/24***
Is looking like the CrescendO #16 x Tahoe OG is a dud... Left it in the ceramic dome with paper towel just incase but also started a CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 to replace the seed so I have them on similar time...
CrescendO #2 x SFV OG, CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG, Colin OG Rbx are all above the soil, gave them a small amount of water at a PH of 5.9
Will start week one as soon as I have 4 plants above soil!
***UPDATE 11/24/24***
Still no luck with the CrescendO #16 x Tahoe OG...
The CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 legitimately popped in less than 24 hrs & is now in the dirt! This is the fastest I have ever had a seed pop!
Gave a little bit of water at a PH of 5.8
Relabeled the air pot & will update strains for this page!
***UPDATE 11/26/24***
Still waiting on the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 to surface, gave all 4 plants a little bit of water at a PH of 5.9
***UPDATE 11/27/24***
Woke up this morning & all 4 plants are above soil so I figured I would start day 1!
Am gonna mainline again this go :P Think the plan is to shoot for 16 tops each before flipping to 12/12, will be topping ever 3 nodes!
Air circulation in our house isn't very good... Gonna have to keep an eye on temps when the furnace is on, have a Govee hygrometer I'm gonna throw in the tent has a built in alarm, currently have it set to 29c so if I reach 29c my phone will ring & I can run downstairs & open the tent door/floor vent! Humidity drops as a result but I'm able to get everything back on track within 30 min & close everything up to maintain RH
***UPDATE 11/28/24***
Gave the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 a little bit of water at a PH of 5.8
Flipped one of the clip fans downwards & have it oscillating over the plants
***UPDATE 11/29/24***
Not much really needed to be done today, was able to maintain good temp/RH throughout the day!
Right off the bat am noticing the finger leaves are much larger than the plants I grew last go! Last batch the plants were under blurple for the first week & a bit!
***UPDATE 11/30/24***
Gave each plant 250ml of water at a PH of 5.9, this should be enough to get them to day 8 at which point I will feed for the 1st time!
Healthy looking seedlings! Some drywall dust on the leaves tho... Tomorrow I'm gonna take a wet cloth & clean the inside of the flap that covers the zipper, missed that when I did the original clean!
***UPDATE 12/01/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Got all that drywall dust up out of the flap! It can't harm the plants but is a bit of an eye sore once it reaches the plants aesthetically...
Temps & RH were pretty much on point today!
***UPDATE 12/02/24***
Nothing really needed to be done today, Temps & RH have been good throughout the day!
***UPDATE 12/03/24***
These seedlings are beast so far! 250ml of water may have been a little bit too much on the 30th, will be feeding for the 1st time tomorrow so long as the pots are dry!
***UPDATE 12/04/24***
My birthday today!
Gave each plant 250ml of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 5.9
Some more drywall dust found its way into the tent... Wasn't an issue last grow during flower because I wasn't using a humidifier... The humid air has whats been clogged in the zipper flying around the tent now that's it's got a bit of water weight! Gonna try & take the shop vac to it tomorrow afternoon & see if that helps... Also have to clean all the clip fans again as a result!
Temps & RH were pretty much on point during the day today!
***UPDATE 12/05/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Couldn't use the shop vac today but am gonna get on that 1st thing tomorrow!
***UPDATE 12/06/24***
Took the shop vac to the zipper of the tent & i'm gonna need to do this a few times in order to get all the hardened drywall dust! It's caked into the teeth part of the zipper & turns to dust whenever I open/close the tent! Will move the tent next time there is work being done in the vicinity, didn't think it would make this much of a mess! Not harmful to the plants just a bit of an eyesore, drywall is made of gypsum.
Temps & RH have been on point all day!
The first set of leaves on the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG is basically end to end in a 5.5 gal pot (12")! Very impressed with these genetics so far!
For comparison my last crop turned out pretty good & the largest seedling was the length of a sharpie end to end on it's 1st set of leaves, nowhere near 1ft !
***UPDATE 12/07/24***
Nothing really needed to be done today, all 4 plants are gonna need some water early tomorrow morning as soon as the lights turn on!
***UPDATE 12/08/24***
Gave each plant roughly 350ml of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0
***UPDATE 12/09/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering, should probably bump them up to 500ml each minimum next go!
***UPDATE 12/10/24***
So far so good! Am gonna top all 4 plants tomorrow morning & start mainlining soon! Also time for another feed early tomorrow morning!
***UPDATE 12/11/24***
Gave each plant an evenely distributed 500ml of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.0
Topped all 4 plants & shall start LST over the next day or two, Crescendo #2 x End Game #3 might still need a little bit more time before I'm able to anchor it down!
Noticed 2/4 plants have hollow stems & read this is due to a lack of air movement, gonna clean the clip fans, move them down a bit & point the one at the back of the tent downwards!
Used the garden sprayer this morning to water & was able to blast all the drywall dust off the plants so they look a bit cleaner!
***UPDATE 12/12/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! Will bump up to 750ml or 1L next watering & see how they do!
Began LST & 3/4 plants are now anchored down, CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 still needs a bit more time
Gonna start lowering the light & slowly increase light intensity day by day once there is a little bit more foliage & they have sprung back up! 600 uMOL during mid to late veg is what I'm gonna shoot for!
***UPDATE 12/13/24***
Some minor adjustments made with the grow ties in order to maintain an even canopy am gonna try & keep up with it this run!
They are gonna need water later on this afternoon noticed the two towards the back are drying out much quicker than the two at the front!
***UPDATE 12/14/24***
Gave each plant an evenly distributed 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0
Flipped the fan towards the back of the tent downwards to increase air flow!
***UPDATE 12/15/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Currently working with a fairly even canopy will make some minor adjustments tomorrow morning!
Lowered RH to 65% humidifier is currently on the rise to 65 after refill!
***UPDATE 12/16/24***
Defoliated & adjusted grow ties!
Dropped the light down to where the tallest plant is now recieving 415 uMOL, gonna gradually push towards 600 uMOL depending on how they respond to the bump in light intensity!
***UPDATE 12/17/24***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed below at a PH of 6.2
Armadillo Armour: 0.10ml/L
Micro: 0.50ml/L
Grow: 0.50ml/L
Bloom: 0.50ml/L
CalMag: 0.50ml/L
Monkey Juice: 0.50ml/L
Sticky Bandit: 0.50ml/L
Adjusted grow ties & shop vac for the tents zipper to get more of that drywall dust!
Dropped humidity down to 65% RH
***UPDATE 12/18/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Adjusted some of the grow ties to keep everything in order!
***UPDATE 12/19/24***
Nothing really needed to be done today, adjusted humidifier to 60% RH & took the shop vac to the tent zipper to get more drywall dust!
They are gonna need water later on tonight or tomorrow morning, each plant will get 1L of dechlorinated at a PH of 6.0
Should be able to top again in the next couple of days as well!
***UPDATE 12/20/24***
Plants responded well to last nights watering! Each plant got 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0
Went through & topped/defoliated all 4 plants to create 8 tops each! Some of the branches are not wanting to bend atm & I prefer to just leave them vs pinching to soften tissue this early on!
A fairly even canopy so far minus the odd branch here & there!
Knicked a branch with the scissors on the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 during defoliation but hasn't slowed it down at all, will be careful with that one when the time comes for more LST!
Missed a top on the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG gonna run downstairs & get that now!
Happy holidays everyone!
***UPDATE 12/21/24***
Gave each plant 2L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2 shortly after photo's were taken today!
Lowered the light a bit to where the tallest plant is now receiving 475 uMOL
Am hoping the plants respond well to more water as well as a bump in light intensity at their current stage of growth! Still want to try & gradually increase towards 600 uMOL over the next week or so!
***UPDATE 12/22/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed & the subtle bump in light intensity!
Once those new tops are a bit longer will be time for more LST!
Gonna keep them at 2L per plant each watering/feed for the remainder of the grow!
***UPDATE 12/23/24***
Little bit of LST today & everything seems to be on track!
***UPDATE 12/24/24***
Not much needed to be done today, 2 branches on the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG just keep popping up after LST, am gonna leave them be & wait for those new branches before I continue as I don't like pinching branches to soften tissue during LST when it's this early!
Removed a couple leaves towards the center of the CrescendO#2 x End Game #3 so newer growth gets a bit more light!
Plants are gonna need water later on tonight, will be 2L of dechlorinated tap water each at a PH of 6.1
Temps & RH are on point today!
***UPDATE 12/25/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Went through with a heavy defoliation although may have been a bit too early!
Should be able to LST a bit more in the next couple of days!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everyone!!
***UPDATE 12/26/24***
Nothing really needed to be done today
Temps & RH are pretty much on point!
***12/27/24***
Not much to do today, plants are going to need a feed late tonight or early tomorrow morning, will be nutrient mixture listed above at a PH of 6.1
When the time comes shall do that alongside some more LST!
2L might have been a tad bit too much after a heavy defoliation as I've had to wait 4 - 4 1/2 days until the next watering instead of 2 or 3 days! Gotta be careful with this because if it was a feed last time vs the plain water they would probably be burning right now!
***UPDATE 12/28/24***
Pots have not dried out yet & are still heavy... Checked time stamps on pictures from the last watering & I did the math wrong yesterday, has been exactly 4 days (96 hrs) since the last watering, they seem to be doing good but tips have burnt just ever so slightly! Gonna try & drop the humidity & up the temperature for the remainder of lights on & if pots are still heavily saturated tomorrow morning will break out the industrial fan & rotate plants every couple of hours so they dry out quicker, thankful for air pots in this scenario!
Removed some foliage towards the center of 2 plants that were ready for it, aside from this just let everything be today!
***UPDATE 12/29/24***
Pots are still on the heavy side, bottoms are still saturated where the roots haven't really touched yet, medium is almost bone dry 2 knuckles deep so decided to give each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1 for now...
Little bit of damage but nothing extreme, the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG is the worst of it among the four! They were still perked up towards the light prior to tonights feed but have drooped, garden sprayer does this every time !
Dropped humidity down to 55 for now & will LST what I can tomorrow morning!
***UPDATE 12/30/24***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! They went through 1L like it was nothing & are gonna need more water early tomorrow morning! The bottoms of the pots where the roots haven't really touched yet is still saturated but I'm able to get away with 1L feeds & waterings for now until that dries up!
Went through & LST'd all 4 plants, the CrescendO #2 x End game # 3 is pretty wonky, will continue to work on it throughout the week! Moved the 2 plants with proper structure towards the back of the tent so it's easier to work with the others that are gonna need a little bit more work!
Temps & RH have been really good today!
***UPDATE 12/31/24***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.2
More LST tomorrow, what's stuck at the bottom of the pots is slowly drying out & can see the extent of the damage on the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG now that it has sprung back up after LST, newer growth has not been effected thankfully!
Temps & RH have been good today!
Happy New Years everyone !!
***UPDATE 01/01/25***
3/4 plants responded well to yesterdays watering, been having some issues with the water itself I believe... Usually just leave tap water in a bucket for 3 days & give it the occasional stir to dechlorinate, have ran into issues in both my current setups!
Noticed other growers using Cronk are able to use much higher concentrations nutrients wise as well as more water during earlier stages of growth without any problems & I haven't been able to decipher what's gone wrong over here on my end...
Ordered a fish pump & some air stones so I can start aerating my water! Possibility the roots aren't getting enough oxygen despite air pots & Promix HP as the medium, am also gonna start transplanting in future grows in order to utilize the air pots!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today, I dropped the RH a bit in hopes the pots can dry out a little quicker!
Adjusted some of the grow ties to try & maintain an even canopy as well as proper structure, should be able to top up to 16 very soon!
Haven't decided if I want 16 or 32 tops per plant yet but could probably get away with 32 if I choose to veg a little bit longer!
***UPDATE 01/02/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today
Think I will top up to 16 & defoliate/LST tomorrow afternoon if all 4 are ready!
Temps & RH have been good so far today!
CrescendO #2 x SFV OG is still drooped but should bounce back over the next couple of days!
***UPDATE 01/03/25***
Gave the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG 1.4L of water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.0 the other 3 plants will get 1L each with nutrients listed above early tomorrow morning!
Been having some problems with the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG ever since I overwatered, today the pot was bone dry & the air off the clip fans actually had the pot rocking back & forth so I decided upon an early feed for that one this afternoon! It was originally drooped from overwatering & think it is currently drooped from not having enough water! Hopefully it bounces back soon!
Am hoping they will all dry out on the same day after I feed the other 3 tomorrow morning, pots were still on the heavier side towards the bottom, stagnant water sitting in there where the roots haven't touched yet, they seem to be doing fine for now but am gonna keep them at 1L each until the pots are back to normal!
Defoliated all 4 plants & topped the Colin OG Rbx up to 16 tops! The other 3 plants are still gonna need an extra day or two!
LST'd what I could for now & will continue on with that after tomorrows feed so the grow ties stick!
Fish bubbler showed up today & currently have water aerating for the next feed as well!
***UPDATE 01/04/25***
The CrescendO #2 x SFV OG responded well to yesterdays feed & has started to perk back up!
Gave the other 3 plants 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1
2/3 plants fed today did not droop after I hit them with the garden sprayer! Oxygen is gonna be the focus root wise over the next little while, am gonna see what else I can do to improve upon this! Originally thought they drooped directly after watering because of the intensity of the garden sprayer aggitating the roots, aerating the water for 15 hours seems to have made a significant difference! Plan is to run that bubbler 24/7 for the remainder of this grow & all future grows, money well spent!
For anyone who's interested the oxygen that is added to the water using a fish bubbler that fusion mainly takes place on a cellular/molecular level! Reached out for help on an aeroponics subreddit & a couple of people were able to explain it to me in detail! In my head was just picturing bubbles popping & oxygen escaping when vigorously stirring in nutrients or running water through the garden sprayer but aggitation is actually what allows this fusion to take place! Temperature also plays a roll in how much extra oxygen the water will hold onto was told 20c is the sweet spot & warmer water won't hold as much! Benefits your roots as well as microbes which would be Monkey Juice in my case, nutrient uptake in general!
3 plants aren't quite ready to top, am gonna wait until tomorrow afternoon to top up to 16 & LST!
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today as well!
***UPDATE 01/05/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Went through & topped the remaining 3 plants for 16 tops each! Have decided I will go for 32 before flipping over to 12/12!
***UPDATE 01/06/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today, waiting for new branches to grow to continue on with LST
The CrescendO #2 x SFV OG is drooped but should be fine until tomorrow at which point I should be able to water all 4 plants at the same time & get everything back in sync! Gonna stick with 1L for now & gradually try & bump them up towards 2L each before flower!
***UPDATE 01/07/25***
Gave each plant 1250ml of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.2
The Crescendo #2 x SFV OG did not respond well to todays watering despite it being a day behind the other 3 water wise! 1250ml was probably not the best idea even though the pot felt light & dry two knuckles in, water must have still been in there somewhere that the roots have gotten too! No burn but some slight clawing on lower fan leaves towards the right side of the plant
Am gonna keep the Crescendo #2 x SFV OG & Colin OG Rbx at 1L where as the other two are happily accepting 1250ml for now & I should be ok to carry on with that for a little while!
Temps are good today but RH has been kinda low
Rearranged the plants so the Crescendo #2 x SFV OG is closest to a clip fan, also moved the Colin OG Rbx away from a clip fan because I'm not sure if the wonky leaves are some type of wind damage or a genetic trait quite yet! It has also drooped slightly after todays watering, 1L is what works best currently!
Hopefully things pick up a little bit over the next 24hrs or so!
***UPDATE 01/08/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering & the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG has started to pick up a little bit!
Not much needs to be done today, I cleaned 1/4 clip fans & am thinking the majority of what is getting caked in the fans is actually calcium coming from the humidifier because it was much easier to clean vs the hardened drywall dust that had originally made it's way into the tent! Once the humidifier is empty am gonna go ahead & do a deep clean!
Temps have been good so far today but RH is kinda low, should pick up later on in the day!
Decided to defoliate + a little bit of LST where I could!
***UPDATE 01/09/25***
Deep cleaned the humidifier & replaced the filter, not much to do plant wise today, am gonna try & get to the other 3 clip fans later on this afternoon clean out the cages & blades + cords!
***UPDATE 01/10/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 5.9
Little bit too much PH down today but am thinking 5.9 should be fine!
Temps & RH have both been kind of low today was a bit late refilling the humidifier, temps should be back around 23-24c in the next hour or so!
***UPDATE 01/11/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
I should be able to LST some more soon am gonna wait until next watering so grow ties stick in the dirt!
The new branches on the Colin OG Rbx all came in somewhat evenly & vertically, might only train 1 branch outward out of each set of 2 to create 2 rings & fill out the center before topping up to 32, think it will look good!
***UPDATE 01/12/25***
Everything is looking pretty good today!
They are gonna need water tomorrow morning & will try to LST what I can alongside some defoliation!
***UPDATE 01/13/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.1
Switched the nozzle out on my garden sprayer so it sprays mist now!
Defoliated 2/4 plants so new growth gets some light
Temps have been kind of low so far today but should be back up around 23c in the next hour or so!
***UPDATE 01/14/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
1 more day & I'm gonna defoliate & LST some more!
Temps & RH have been good so far today
Have my next 4 plants already lined up for anyone interested! I know these aren't even in flower yet but couldn't resist sourcing more fire genetics!
Next grow in the 4x4 will be:
The Devils Rejects by Crossbone Genetics (King Kush x The Queen)
White Truffle S1 by Beleaf Cannabis (White Truffle x White Truffle)
Odo Wan Kanobi #50 by Beleaf Cannabis (White Truffle x Odo #1)
Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton by Ethos Genetics (Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton)
Already have the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton on hand just waiting on the Beleaf strains to show up!
Beyond stoked for this next run! Ethos wise still have a CrescendO #2 x Cherry Pie & a CrescendO #16 x SFV OG I will run at a later date as well as 4 more Colin OG's & 2 Cherry Diesels! Have 2 of the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton seeds but am only gonna run one next go, should have one of them left as well for a future grow! Haven't even got to the final product yet Ethos wise & have been very happy with these plants so far! Will continue to run Ethos in the future alongside my growing collection xD!
***UPDATE 01/15/25***
Went through with a heavy defoliation & will LST tomorrow morning after feed so the grow ties stick in the dirt!
All 4 plants have started to pre flower! Am hoping to be up to 32 tops per plant by the end of this week before switching to 12/12!
Temps & Humidity have been good today!
***UPDATE 01/16/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 5.9
LST'd what I could for now, grow ties really don't want to stick in the dirt even after a fresh feed, am gonna shop around & see if I can find heftier grow ties so I don't run into problems next time!
Had trouble uploading this week, kept getting an error message while trying to post! Reposted the week without selecting any grow techniques & this seems to have fixed the issue!
***UPDATE 01/17/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Not much needed to be done today, temps & RH have been pretty good!
***UPDATE 01/18/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today, slept in & was late refilling the humidifier but the plants didn't seem to mind!
3rd set of leaves are coming in & is almost time to top up to 32 soon! Might still be vegging for a few days into week 9 prior to switching over to 12/12!
***UPDATE 01/19/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.2
Gonna have to go through & clean the clip fans once again! Realized it is indeed the humidifier leaving calcium all around the tent vs what I initially thought was all drywall dust! The Colin OG Rbx which has been closest to a clip fan the majority of the grow has really picked up the debris over time!
I usually try & keep my humidity around 40-50% RH during flower but am thinking I will remove the humidifier once I switch over to 12/12 which will hopefully leave it around around 30-40% !
***UPDATE 01/20/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Shut the humidifier off to see what temps/RH are gonna hover around without it this time of year & is looking like it will be low 30's which should be ok, I might run the humidifier outside of the tent if it doesn't make much of a mess! Would prefer something closer to 50% RH!
Almost time to top up to 32 & LST some more!
***UPDATE 01/21/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today
Is looking like RH will bottom out around 30% without the humidifier, refilled it for now & set it to 55% but I'm gonna remove it from the tent once it's time to switch over to 12/12
Gave each plant 1.25L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1 roughly 10 minutes before lights off, 3/4 were drooping heavily & felt I should feed now vs waiting another 6 to 10 hours!
***UPDATE 01/24/25***
Gave each plant roughly 1.25L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0
***UPDATE 01/25/25***
Plants do not seem to like anything over 1L each & have stayed drooped for now
Bit of a late update, have been sick over the past couple of days, today is day 4 of week 9 veg, will be able to top & defoliate all four plants early tomorrow morning! Thinking I will give them the rest of the week to grow a little bit just prior to flipping over to 12/12!
***UPDATE 01/26/25***
Went through & defoliated all 4 plants + topped the Colin OG Rbx up to 32 tops!
Still gonna have to wait a bit to top the other 3
***UPDATE 01/28/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1
Still kind of sick but feeling a lot better! Will top the remaining 3 plants & LST tomorrow or the next day! Still gonna give them a node or two once I top up to 32 prior to switching to 12/12!
***UPDATE 01/29/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Topped the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG up to 32 tops! The CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG & CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 are still gonna need a couple more days before I can top!
***UPDATE 01/30/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today still just waiting to top 2/4 plants!
***UPDATE 01/31/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0
Was able to top the two remaining plants up to 32!
Gonna order some demineralizing pucks to put inside my humidifier to try & eliminate the white dust it puts out, a fair bit of it has clinged to the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 !
Will be going through & doing a deep clean of the entire tent & all contents inside prior to switching over to 12/12! If the demineralizing pucks do not work will be removing the humidifier from the tent during flower & will try to work something out externally!
***UPDATE 02/01/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Demineralizing pucks for the humidifier should be here later tonight am really hoping these work!
Deep cleaning all equipment tomorrow & I'm gonna give new tops a node or two prior to some more LST & 12/12!
All 4 plants seem to be doing well! Nice healthy greens & 0 issues aside from the calcium dust that has stuck to some of the plants from the humidifier
Temps/RH have been pretty good today as well!
Excited to flip these ones over to 12/12 when the time comes!
***UPDATE 02/02/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today plant wise
Went through & cleaned all 4 clip fans to the best of my abilities without damaging the faceplates, they are supposed to twist off & unlock but none of them do! Ended up just using hot water & the sprayer attached to the sink, These are the 6" Mars Hydro USB clip fans, I don't think they are water proof but this technique actually worked quite well, would say i got roughly 95% of the calcium that had built up! Everything is still fully functional as well & I shouldn't have to worry about white dust flying around the tent anymore!
Deep cleaned the humidifier, diluted vinegar with hot water & filled the bottom basin + reservoir & let it soak for 40 minutes, took everything apart & got the remaining minerals with a scrub brush, rinsed thoroughly, replaced filter & added some demineralizing pucks into the reservoir! If this thing continues to produce white dust I am gonna remove it from the tent entirely during 12/12...
Think I will continue veg into week 11, will give new tops a little bit of time to grow & should be able to tell if the humidifier is still gonna be a problem within that time!
***UPDATE 02/03/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1
Gonna spray the actual plants down next watering to remove the remaining calcium dust from the leaves, next watering is just a plain watering & nute mix usually leaves salts on the leaves!
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today, RH is back on the climb to 55%!

Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today & the demineralizing pucks seem to be working well!
Vacuumed all the remaining calcium dust out of the tents zipper & flaps
***UPDATE 02/05/25***
Nothing really needs to be done today
New tops are coming in nicely & is time for a plain watering early tomorrow morning
Gonna spray the plants down with the garden sprayer to get all the remaining calcium dust off the leaves & defoliate so fan leaves aren't restricting or shading top growths, will hopefully end up with a fairly even canopy!
Almost time to switch over to 12/12! Just waiting on the CrescendO's to get to where the Colin OG Rbx is at currently
***UPDATE 02/06/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.1
Rinsed all the calcium dust off all 4 plants & went through with a heavy defoliation!
Cleaned the remaining calcium dust out of the tents zippers & flaps, is looking like the humidifier will indeed continue to produce this white dust & there is a high chance I will be removing from the tent completely once it's time for 12/12! Gonna wait & see what the damge is during the remainder of week 11!
***UPDATE 02/07/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering & defoliation!
Still some calcium dust on some of the leaves, will have to give the plants another rinse on the next plain watering day! Gonna start putting some money aside for a countertop reverse osmosis kit so I don't have to deal with this mess again in the future!
***UPDATE 02/08/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today, humidifier leaked & I cleaned that up shortly after taking pictures
Feed day tomorrow!
***UPDATE 02/09/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.0
Humidifier leaked again... Cleaned that up prior to taking pictures today xD
Think I will slightly bump PH up to 6.2 6.3 ish next watering & feed! Missed my mark the last couple waterings PH wise. was sitting around 5.4/5.6 after PH down so I chose to dilute & mix in a little bit of bottled water to bring it back up to where it needed to be, some slight yellowing as a result & some of the leaves on the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG have curled a bit, everything should be fine in the long run & will be more careful with the PH down in the future!
***UPDATE 02/10/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
New tops are coming in nicely! Think the plan is to rinse the plants down one last time next watering & introduce bud booster + flip over to 12/12 next feed which should be roughly 5 days from today!
***UPDATE 02/11/25***
Still just playing the waiting game xD
Should be able to defoliate a little bit & flip over to 12/12 in the next 4 days!
***UPDATE 02/12/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.2
Rinsed the calcium dust from the humidifier off all 4 plants & am thinking I will switch over to 12/12 in roughly 3 days time!
Next watering will be a feed & I plan on introducing bud booster alongside my current mixture!
Have to be more careful with the PH down moving forward, whenever I miss my mark I usually just dilute it with un PH'd water to bring it up to where it needs to be, in my experience this is ok every now & then but they tend to yellow out a bit regardless if you hit them with that 2 or 3 times in a row...
***UPDATE 02/13/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Humidifier is officially conking out! Is only blowing a very small amount of mist despite being on the highest setting while the tank is full & it has been leaking every other day over the past week & a bit when it got low leaving RH in the mid 30s...
Can't say I recommend Homvana at all... The one in this 4x4 barely lasted 2 vegetative cycles which would be 4 1/2 months, it was good at 1st & liked it so much I grabbed another one for my 2x4 as well but the hygrometer in the 2nd unit just straight up didn't work fresh out of the box & I ended up returning... It would randomly decide to blow hot mist on full blast bringing RH up into the 90s every other day! Could have just been luck of the draw but I highly doubt it!
I'm gonna have to wait until payday but am thinking I will grab one of those Spider Farmer humidifiers with the hose when the time comes, am able to set that up outside of the tent & it will allow me space to have an extra plant upstairs in the 2x4 tent! At the very least am gonna try & grab one with a lot of positive reviews if I can't find a Spider Farmer, don't mind dropping a couple extra bucks for something reliable that doesn't take up too much space!
Thinking I will move the Levoit humidifier from the 2x4 downstairs into the 4x4 tomorrow morning if I'm unable to come up with a temporary fix! Both humidifiers are still blowing calcium dust despite the demineralizing pucks I grabbed to eliminate that problem, the pucks have helped but haven't eliminated the issue entirely, countertop RO will be a worthwhile investment as soon as I'm able to get that together as well!
Humidifiers aside the plants seem to be doing great! Will be flipping over to 12/12 next feed + LST right before & during the stretch!
***UPDATE 02/14/25***
Was late getting to things today & temps were higher than I want them to be throughout the day today!
Humidifier is 100% done & temps have been higher as a result, gonna have to leave the top of the door open during lights on for now in order to bring temps down a couple of degrees
Planys are gonna need a feed early tomorrow morning & I'm thinking I will flip over to 12/12 as well!
***UPDATE 02/15/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2
Some of the yellowing is really starting to show from missing my mark PH wise & diluting with bottled water a couple of times, was on point with the PH today & marked my dropper for future use!
Flipped over to 12/12 & also introduced bud booster this feed! Am gonna finish up this week before starting a new tab in order to keep things uniform!
Will see what I'm able to do tomorrow LST wise & start slowly adjusting PPFD as they begin to flower! Will also give them one last rinse next watering to remove any remaining calcium dust
Moved the humidifier from my other setup into the 4x4 for now, quickly realizing it isn't exactly ideal for a 4x4 space during lights on as RH is still low, I should be able to sort this out near the end of the month & will move the levoit back into my 2x4!
***02/16/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Was a bit too late getting to things today in order to LST, gonna try & get that done tomorrow! Wondering if I can tie grow ties to a branch to push other branches outwards or something vs anchoring into the dirt, the ties I got right now don't stick & stay very well in my current medium, I don't need to worry about the height of these plants, have a fairly even canopy + tons of headroom, just need to focus on seperation so each top can get some light, might use string instead to tie some down if this doesn't work!
Checked PPFD & the tallest plant has been recieving roughly 605 uMOL of light, I'm thinking I will just leave it where it's at for now & let them slowly stretch towards the light without making any major adjustments for now!
Temps have been pretty good today but RH has remained low
***UPDATE 02/17/25***
RH has remained low & it's looking like I should probably give them more than 1L each moving forward especially during the stretch! Watering day tomorrow, might try them out at 1.5L each including the rinse !
Tried to LST a branch without anchoring into the dirt & this seems like it will work well! Just gotta hope it doesn't put too much pressure on the mains as I continue to tie more of the plant to itself!
Gonna reposition the plants & keep the ones that are drinking faster away from the clip fans
Body clock is currently flipped & lights shut off at 6pm, I'm gonna try & wake up at a decent time tomorrow in order to get everything done!
****UPDATE 02/18/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water as well as a 500ml rinse each at a PH of 6.3
Defoliated so some of the tops are able to get a little bit more light
Temps have been good today but RH is still a little bit low
***UPDATE 02/19/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering & defoliation!
Temps have been pretty good so far this morning but RH will remain low!
Gonna keep an eye on the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG, has perked right back up & it is drinking much faster than the other 3 plants! Will give it more water than the others next watering!
***UPDATE 02/20/25***
Nothing really needs to be done today, the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG seems to be doing well!
Will see how everything is looking tomorrow morning & gauge whether or not I need to give a couple of them more than 1L of water to keep all 4 plants on the same schedule !
***UPDATE 02/21/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.0
Did not need to adjust how much I am watering each plant & just decided to keep each of them at 1L
Removed some fan leaves that were blocking lower tops on the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG
***UPDATE 02/22/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Not much needed to be done today
Removed the humidifier from the tent for now in order to dry a plant I just harvested from my 2x4 !
Temps have been good but RH will remain low until I'm able to grab another humidifier !
***UPDATE 02/23/25***
Starting to see some white hairs towards the tops of all 4 plants!
Upped the light intensity & the tallest plant is now recieving roughly 800 uMOL of light, the other 3 are inbetween 730 & 800! Managed to grab a screenshot while the meter was at exactly 800 :P
Payday on Friday & want to get a new humidifier in there ASAP! Temp is at 26.3C which is good but RH is sitting at 27% after the bump in light intensity!
Photos look kind of washed today because I forgot to switch back to auto mode for ISO & shutter speed!
Plants will need water again early tomorrow morning!
***UPDATE 02/24/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.3
Last feed was a PH of 5.99, have been taking dechlorinated tap water from my bucket & mixing nutrients/PH'ing 2L amounts in two seperate 4L pitchers before filling my garden sprayer to water the plants, one of these pitchers was off & sitting around 5.6 & I diluted it with the other pitcher which was sitting at 6.3 to bring it up to 5.99, am gonna try & stick to 6.3 - 6.5 over the next little while, outside edges of the leaves on 3/4 plants are yellowing, always seem to miss my mark when PH'ing anything under 3L at a time... (general hydroponics PH down solution is a lot stronger & it takes a lot less to lower PH vs what I was using prior) am also gonna start dumping water if I continue to miss my mark even if it means wasting nutrients & possibly having to use some water straight from the tap on spot, diluting & mixing the two seperate pitchers together to bring PH up still causes damage!
After increasing light intensity temps were up around 30c 30c+ & RH was sitting at roughly 25% with the tent door open... Decided to dial the light back & move it closer vs upping the wattage until I'm able to get a humidifier in there on Friday to lower temps & increase RH!
The tallest plant is now recieving roughly 750 uMOL & the other 3 are around 700 uMOL which should be good for now!
***UPDATE 02/25/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
They have really started to take off over the last 24 hours, the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 & the Colin OG Rbx being the most noticable! Gonna try my best to keep PH in around 6.3 - 6.5 as they really do seem to prefer this over 6.0 - 6.2!
Is currently raining & I'm thinking I will crack the back door for a little while to see if I can raise RH in the house!
Cheers Everyone!
***UPDATE 02/26/25***
Not much needs to be done today
Plants are kinda droopy & ready for another feed early tomorrow morning! Gonna try & stick with a PH of 6.3 - 6.5 for now!
Will be ordering a new humidifier tomorrow at midnight as well once my pay hits!
***UPDATE 02/27/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.5
2/4 plants were drooping pretty heavily prior to todays feed, am gonna slowly up the amount of water I'm giving to them over the next little while!
***UPDATE 02/28/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today!
***UPDATE 03/01/25***
Raised the light & increased light intensity, the tallest plant is now receiving 925 uMOL of light & the other 3 plants are in around 850 uMOL!
Moved the Levoit humidifier back into the tent, did some research & realized there isn't much I can do humidifier wise until I invest in reverse osmosis, it will probably make a mess as is but is necessary for me to have that in there vs externally after the bump in light intensity in order to keep the temps down!
Currently sitting around 25c - 26c & 32% RH after making the adjustment, RH may still rise some!
Watering day tomorrow & shall defoliate a tad as well!
***UPDATE 03/02/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.3
Figured out what I can do in regards to reverse osmosis! Found a 4 part system called "RO Buddy" that will allow me to filter water directly from the tap or hose without having to puncture a waterline underneath the sink & mess with plumbing! A company calle Geek Pure makes them as well but it doesn't come with the fitting to hook into the sink or hose, piece I'd need is only an extra 10 bucks! Seen someone had mounted one to a cutting board with L brackets for feet so it can be moved around vs mounted to the wall! Cash is pretty tight right now & have to wait until the end of the month before I can grab everything which will also include a new humidifier for the 4x4 downstairs!
I need to use a dehumidifier in the spring/summer which I have & I'm debating between grabbing these at the end of the month in order to futureproof the setup, might just wait until next season as spring is just around the corner, I haven't decided what I'm gonna do just yet but happy I found a much cheaper alternative vs one of the 500 - 1000 buck countertop units!
Defoliation will be tomorrow once the plants have perked up a bit!!
***UPDATE 03/03/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Removed fan leaves that were blocking lower bud sites, also scrubbed some of the calcium dust off the tent walls that was accumulating near the fans!
***UPDATE 03/04/25***
Removed a couple more leaves I missed that were blocking bud sites
Was late getting to the tent today & temps were pretty high, managed to drop them roughly 4 hours into todays light cycle !
***UPDATE 03/05/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.3
Had to take the humidifier out for now in order to maintain RH while I dry other plants, temp seems to have stabalized around 26.5C & RH is around 36% which is actually a lot better then I thought it would be!
Got lucky with the rain + warmer weather today! Should be able to raise RH inside the house by leaving the back door open for a little while!
***UPDATE 03/06/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
New growth on the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG is looking much healthier after not diluting my mixture with regular water to bring PH back up when I miss my mark PH wise!
Temps have been pretty good today but RH is kind of low!
Will be lightly defoliating next watering to ensure lower bud sites are receiving the most light they can!
***UPDATE 03/07/25***
Decided to test out a new humidifier in the 4x4 up until it's time to shuffle them all around again, this new one definitely won't suffice in a 4x4 space xD! Will be using it in my drying tent in the long run!
Temps are a tad bit higher than I would like today & RH has been pretty low despite smaller humidifier on full blast!
Watering day tomorrow as well as a light defoliation!
***UPDATE 03/08/25***
Gave each plant 1.5L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.4
Bucket I use to store & aerate water until watering day was absolutely caked in calcium as well as the pump, deep cleaned those today + the garden sprayer & should see some improvement over the next little while inbetween waterings! Will be grabbing RO towards the end of the month!
The CrescendO #2 x End Game #3 is already starting to show some purple! Trichomes starting to come in so I took some photos of the bud! Still some calcium dust clinging to the plants, mainly the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3, thinking I will remove the humidifier entirely until I have RO before this gets worse!
Temps have been good today but RH could be a little better!
***UPDATE 03/09/25***
Plants responded ok to yesterdays watering, tried them out at 1.5L each & not quite sure what it is but they don't seem to like anything over 1L even at their current stage! Have been waiting until they are fully drooped prior to watering most of the time in hopes the roots would stretch out a little more in search for water & I could apply more but that hasn't seemed to help!
Did deep clean everything to do with water yesterday & I'm hoping to see an improvement over the next little while! There is a possibility excess calcium could be having a negative effect on them!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today. gonna remove the humidifier entirely tomorrow morning, been running it on low & have been getting 35% - 38% which should be ok if I'm able to maintain that for the remainder of the flowering period without it, has barely been producing anything as is which has me thinking it be safe to remove!
***UPDATE 03/10/25***
Moved the humidifier into the 2x4 for some seedlings shortly after taking pictures today
Temps may shoot up to 28c over the next little while !
Feed day tomorrow & I'm also gonna defoliate a little more
***UPDATE 03/11/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.4 roughly 2 hours before lights off
Decided to move back to 1L for now, tried 1.5L last watering & the plants still drooped within the same amount of time, would say a 4 hour difference give or take, bottoms of the pots are heavy which is not good, no water towards the top & plants were drooping is why I decided upon 1L each for now, hoping they respond well to todays feed after cleaning my 5 gal bucket & garden sprayer the other day!
Temps & RH were ok today but could be better!
Will defoliate a bit more tomorrow afternoon
***UPDATE 03/12/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Wasn't able to defoliate today but will get that done tomorrow, a little more purple starting to come in which is good! Description said they would pack on most of their characteristics towards the end of flower but am starting to see a fair bit of change early on, could be carbs playing their role, really does work in terms of color!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today as well, have managed to stay out of the 20's w/o a humidifier! Thinking I will leave things as is until the end of the month at which point will be grabbing RO!
***UPDATE 03/13/25***
Early morning update today! Another 7 hour trim on the last autoflower from my 2x4, really need some sleep! xD
Removed fan leaves that were blocking bud sites from receiving light
Color + trichomes are coming in fast, a noticable difference within 12 hours!
Watering day tomorrow!
***UPDATE 03/14/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.4
***UPDATE 03/15/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Missed pictures before lights off today, will be right back on it tomorrow!
***UPDATE 03/16/25***
Checked airpots & they are still heavy from March 8ths watering, I tried to bump up to 1.5L per plant vs 1L per plant & have still ran into issues... Have only been watering every 3 days at 1L each since the 8th, leaves have started to claw a bit & water is trapped towards the bottoms of the pots, top & middle sections dry out & the plants will droop but I'm currently stuck with whatever is towards the bottom for now, given the size of these plants have no idea as to why i cant go above 1L each, is quite bizaar! Should be ok moving forward just need to be careful with the water for now!
Temps & RH have been good so far today, snow melted & RH is perfect inside the house right now!
Will be time for another feed early tomorrow morning!
***UPDATE 03/17/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.3, halved calmag to 0.25ml/L this feed & might remove entirely for a little while if things continue to worsen!
Plants did perk up a little bit after this mornings feed but some of the leaves have burnt & it wouldn't surprise me if excess calcium is to blame alongside March 8ths overwatering!
Will continue to monitor the plants & adjust to their needs!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today, Happy St Patricks Day everyone !!
***UPDATE 03/18/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! All 4 plants perked up but water is still trapped towards the bottoms of the pots! Some slight burn/clawing here & there as a result, they've also stayed somewhat drooped but should live!
Went through & defoliated/trimmed anything that was blocking bud sites from receiving light
Trichs are coming in fast & the Colin OG Rbx is starting to change color as well!
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today
***UPDATE 03/19/25***
Pots are starting to dry out which is good, plants have drooped slightly but look better than they do most days the day before watering!
Watering day tomorrow & will be halving calmag next feed as well just to be on the safe side of things, almost certain excess calcium has caused some issues as well!
Trichomes & color are continuing to come through! One of my favorite stages of growth!
Ethos suggests pushing these towards the end of week 10 flower for the best results which I will do, very impressed with what I see so far & looking forward to the end product! Smell alone can already tell this will be some good stuff by the time it's all said & done!
***UPDATE 03/20/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.5
Temps & RH have been good today!
***UPDATE 03/21/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Temps in the house randomly dropped to 14c overnight, managed to even everything out early this morning!
***UPDATE 03/22/25***
Nothing really needs to be done today, will be feeding again tomorrow morning alongside a light defoliation!
***UPDATE 03/23/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.4
Went through with a light defoliation & removed leaves blocking buds from receiving light + some dead/dying leaves!
Pots have remained heavy since March 8th when I tried them at 1.5L each... Been sticking to 1L every 3 days & have still ran into issues! Am gonna eliminate calmag entirely during the next couple of feeds because I think an excess is playing its part in their decline as well, found a fair portion of dead/dying leaves about half way down the plants, crispy ends curling upwards & inwards, rust spots + yellowing on a few of them too...
Temps & RH have been pretty good today, will be grabbing RO on the 31st & should no longer struggle with anything water related, humidifiers spraying calcium dust, TDS etc etc!
***UPDATE 03/24/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
Temps & RH have been pretty good this morning!
***UPDATE 03/25/25***
Nothing needs to be done today, plants are gonna need water early tomorrow morning, pots are still saturated towards the bottom but they dry out on top & half way in, have to water every 3 days but 1L doesn't seem like it's quite enough, gonna try 3/4 at 1.25L tomorrow & see how they do, will be leaving the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG at 1L due to heavier clawing!
***UPDATE 03/26/25***
Gave 3/4 plants 1.25L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.4, the CrescendO #2 x Marshmallow OG got 1L
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today!
***UPDATE 03/27/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
This next feed the day after tomorrow will be the last tap water feed prior to switching over to RO on the 31st! Hoping to see some improvement after making the switch, plants are still clawed pretty bad due to water being stuck towards the bottom of the pots but seemed to have liked the extra 250ml each for now
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today
***UPDATE 03/28/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today, will probably switch back to 1L each for tomorrows feed, plants are clawing quite a bit!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today as well!
***UPDATE 03/29/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.4 shortly after taking photos today!
Tried to get some of the lower growth on the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG out from underneath the top of the canopy, pinched stems to soften tissue & bent outwards!
Light defoliation for all 4 plants as well today prior to feeding!
Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today, furnace was on overnight & temps were sitting up around 30c before I opened the tent, the CrescendO X's seem to like the higher temps but want to try & stick inbetween 23c - 26c to avoid foxtailing!
***UPDATE 03/30/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays feed!
The CrescendO #2 x SFV OG is really starting to bulk out which is good! Hoping to see something similar with the Colin OG Rbx over the next week or so, buds are still quite small & it's looking like it will be the one to finish first!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today as well!
***UPDATE 03/31/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today
Temps have been a bit higher than I would like so far but RH has been pretty good!
***UPDATE 04/01/25***
Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.3
RO system showed up today! Got that mounted to a cutting board with L brackets for feet so I can move it around! 5 Gal bucket is currently filling up but is quite a slow process.. Gonna double check with other people who own this unit to see if it's is a normal speed! (Aquatic Life RO Buddie 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis, picture & video above)
Checked TDS & I get 300ppm ish straight from the tap, RO filtered water is sitting at 4ppm which is good!
Temps & Humidity have been pretty good today as well!
***UPDATE 04/02/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Figured out what I was doing wrong in regards to Reverse Osmosis! I managed to get the output up to 100ml + per minute by cutting tubing to true size instead of running excess, I also bumped the temp of the water up to luke warm from as cold as it would go not knowing temperature plays a major role in the overall output! What I will do from now on is check temp of the waste water each time I go to use to ensure optimal performance, am pretty sure this was the main issue! Producing 6-8L an hour give or take after making these adjustments! Cleaned all my buckets & pitchers, also cleaned the tubing & air stones for my pump!
Water went from 380 ppm to a steady 0 ppm after filtering! Will be trying out RO water with them for the 1st time the day after tomorrow!

Nothing really needed to be done today just kinda took some time to look everything over, the CrescendO #2 x SFV OG & the Colin OG Rbx will probably be the 1st ones to finish from what I can see so far!
Watering day tomorrow, will be giving them RO for the 1st time!
Temps & RH have been ok so far today although temps have been a bit higher than normal the past couple of days sitting around 28c - 28.5c!
***UPDATE 04/04/25***
Gave each plant 1.25L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.3
Autoflowers have responded extremely well to RO after switching over from tap water, am hoping to see some improvement over here with the photoperiods as well during the last 3 weeks or so of flower!
Buds are looking great so far imo! Some calcium dust has clinged to some of the fan leaves/sugar leaves on the CrescendO #2 x End Game #3, will probably give the plant a good rinse with the garden sprayer during that last week of flower before hanging to dry!
Temps are still a bit higher than I would like but RH has been on point so far today!
@Qutro, Appreciate you stopping by :) Gorilla Zkittlez looking great on your end too! Think I will probably start transplanting & switch ties out next run to create bigger plants & a more uniform structure, these flimsy ties I got don't like to stick in Promix HP but have been making due, everything should be ok by the time I hit flower!
