Sour_D Day 1 - And she's off.... Day 2 - I'll be trying out the Cronk nutrient line with this grow, see how it compares with the Fox Farms nutes. Day 3 - Looks normal Day 4 - Watered her with de-chlorinated tap water with 1ml of CN Micro, 1ml of CN Grow, 1ml of CN Bloom, and 5ml Calmag per gallon, ph'd to 5.83 Day 5 - She looks a little yellowish after the Cronks I gave her yesterday at the lower ph they recommend.... Day 6 - She'll green back up. I think... 😉 Day 7 - And... she's starting to green back up 😊

Sour_D Day 36 - So far this Rainbow Melon using the Cronks Nutrients is behind the Rainbow Melon using Fox Farms Nutrients in overall growth. The one with the Fox Farms is also a much healthier green color. Could be slightly different phenos between the two plants also so it's not a definitive test. Need more data... Day 37 - She's actually filling in rather nicely 😎 Day 38 - She's chillin Day 39 - She's not as thirsty as the other girls Day 40 - Watered her with de-chlorinated tap water with 2.5ml of CN Micro, 2.5ml of CN Grow, 2.5ml of CN Bloom, 5ml Calmag, and .5tsp Recharge per gallon, ph'd to 6.21 Day 41 - Cruisin along Day 42 - She's looking a little bit better

Sour_D Day 71 - She has stopped getting taller, time for the buds to start bulking up 😀 Day 72 - Pretty girl Day 73 - Gave her a light defol Day 74 - Watered her with de-chlorinated tap water with 5ml of CN Micro, 2.5ml of CN Grow, 7ml of CN Bloom, 5ml Calmag, 8ml of Bud Booster, and .5tsp Recharge per gallon, ph'd to 6.37 Day 75 - She has really come around after a shaky start 😎 Day 76 - Can't wait to try another plant with these Cronk nutes. I've got a much better idea of how they work and think I can refine it to my needs. My biggest problem was starting them too soon as the Fox Farms soil is pretty nutrient loaded to begin with. Next time I won't start till probably week 3 and see how that goes. Once I get the process refined I'll be able to do a better comparison with the Fox Farms nutes which I've been using for years. Day 77 - Watered her with de-chlorinated tap water with 5ml of CN Micro, 2.5ml of CN Grow, 7ml of CN Bloom, 5ml Calmag, and 8ml of Bud Booster, ph'd to 6.39
