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

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