I plopped her in a glass of de-chlorinated tap water for 24 hours and then into a damp paper towel for another 24 hours

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 😊

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...

@Natrona, so far the fox farms seems to be doing better but it could just be the phenos. I guess too early to tell.
