Beleaf, Ethos, Crossbone Genetics !

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 05/29/25*** Plants responded well to the light mixture of nutrients I gave them yesterday! Next watering will be a plain watering & if I'm able to get another feed in this week I will be using the nutrient mixture listed above on the bigger plants & just plain water for the two that are a bit behind The Devils Rejects & the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton are roughly 9 days ahead of the White Truffle S1 & Odo Wan Kanobi #50, will factor that into the time it takes to go seed to harvest once the diary is complete! With the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 I had to dig the cotyledons out of the soil with a toothpick as this one was not wanting to punch through the soil! Everything remained in tact but the seedling was fully drooped yesterday, has started to spring back up between yesterday & today, I'm thinking it should make a full recovery ! Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today, I'm not able to hit 80% using the Levoit humidifier in the 4x4 but I've been able to maintain 65 - 70% RH throughout the day a couple hours after the light has turned on ***UPDATE 05/30/25*** Everything is looking pretty good today! The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 is continuing to steadily recover! The Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton has a little bit of droop & the slightest claw at 350ml, will be grabbing some straws later on in the day for the smaller plants so I can slit them vertically & use them as supports in order to run the fans on the plants direct during those earlier stages of growth without any issue, also helps the medium dry out a tad bit quicker! Unrelated to this current grow but figured I would mention a couple of things in regards to what the future holds! I ordered some Black Swallow KIS Premium Living Soil & Blackstrap Molasses today, will be switching over to 100% organic from synthetics! Also Pre ordered Cronks new Organic line & that is set to ship Late June or Early July! The beans I ordered from Multiverse which included In House Genetics & Ethos alongside a handful of others may get put on hold until next year, I haven't decided yet.... Happened across something truly exciting & honestly cannot wait to run some of these newer beans I've found! Managed to find some REAL Chem from those earlier days which I purchased from a dude named Snype out in the States! The seeds he has bred with have been kept in a freezer since 1998 & he has proof to back that! Decided to start with his 91 Diesel purchase wise! He is very meticulous when it comes to his breeding process from what I can see & this should be some top tier product! The original clone that was first called "Diesel" in NYC in the mid 1990's, (91 Chemdog) is crossed with a male Chemdog D bx2 that stunk like Diesel. This project is a 1 time limited release that is sure to satisfy all Diesel / Fuel connoisseurs. Was very happy with the autoflowers I'm growing in the 2x4 & decided to make another Crossbone purchase as well, photoperiod wise I went with some Pre 98 Bubba Kush, Sour Diesel S1 & Lemon Diesel, these 3 strains alongside Snypes 91 Diesel is what I'm thinking I will run the next time around, am curious how the deisels will compare terpene wise, Snype has some Lemon Diesel I will be grabbing at a point as well & I want to run the two Lemon Diesels in unison to see how they compare, Crossbones Pre 98 Bubba Kush should be the real deal as well, both breeders are top notch! Back to the 4x4 temps & RH have been really good so far today! The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 may need a little bit of water later on tonight or early tomorrow morning, this should be an excellent run as well, am really looking forward to that end product! ***UPDATE 05/31/25*** Nothing really needs to be done today, the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 doesn't need any water until tomorrow, I will probably top the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton tomorrow morning as well ! Ordered some plastic straws from amazon & those should be here this afternoon! Payed a premium but is kind of whatever, walmart & dollarama does not carry thin plastic straws with a normal sized opening! My phone went through with an auto update at some point & I just realized that today, I've been having a bit of trouble trying to get my settings back to normal but am close to what I usually shoot, locked shutter speed manually so things aren't as dark when I take photos from a birdseye view Temps are kind of low to start today but should rise in a couple of hours, RH has been pretty good! Straws showed up around 4pm, got those supporting the smaller seedlings & now have 2 clip fans directly on the plants from opposite sides of the tent! Gonna give the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 250ml of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.0 in about 20 min, will heap a little bit of wet soil around the straw to keep it in place better! ***UPDATE 06/01/25*** The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 seems to have responded well to yesterdays watering! Gave the White Truffle S1 300ml of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.0, waiting for the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton to dry out completely before I start feeding them with the nutrient mixture listed above, want to try them at 500ml each tomorrow afternoon to see how they respond! Topped the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton & should also be able to top The Devils Rejects at some point tomorrow as well! Even more new seeds inbound for future projects! Decided to grab some stuff from PrivateBreeds right here in Ontario, really does look like some solid work! Strains are as followed: - Chem 91 Skunk VA bx1 F2 - Garlic Lime Reserve (BLR F4 x Garlic Chem) - Garlic Chem S1 (GMO x Chem 91 Skunk VA bx1) - Cherry Skies x Garlic Chem - Garlic Twins (Black Lime Reserve F4 x Cherrywest bc1) x Garlic Chem - Lowbush Blueberries (Blueberry bx3 x Garlic Chem) - Pineapple Fusion ((Humboldt Pineapple x Lemon Tree) x Red Velvet) Temps & RH have been good today, was able to raise ambient temps within the house & the tent has been within 23 - 25C, RH is inbetween 60% - 70% with the door closed! ***UPDATE 06/02/25*** The White Truffle S1 seems to have responded well to yesterdays watering! Gave the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton 500ml of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1, Decided to go with a plain watering instead of feed since I increased the amount of water for them & I'm not quite sure how fast or slow dryback will be at this current stage Temps & RH were good throughout the day but dropped while I had the tent open ***UPDATE 06/03/25*** The Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton seem to have responded well to yesterdays watering! Topped The Devils Rejects & I'm gonna give the pots a little bit of time to dry out before I defoliate & begin mainlining ! Temps & RH have been really good so far today! ***UPDATE 06/04/25*** Nothing really needed to be done today, Temps & RH have been higher than normal throughout the day & the plants actually seem to prefer the higher temps which is good! Should be able to top the White Truffle S1 in the next day or so, am also gonna try & get my waterings synchronized over the next couple of days so it can be done all in one go!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/05/25*** Nothing really needed to be done today & I just let everything be, both Beleaf seedlings are gonna need water early tomorrow morning & I will probably top the White Truffle S1 as well ! Will still be a while yet before the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton need water, will be another 500ml of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above when the time comes :P Temps & RH have been good today, trying to stick closer to 26C as this seems to be what they prefer for now! ***UPDATE 06/06/25*** Gave the White Truffle S1 & the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 350ml of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L Calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.4 Will wait until tomorrow afternoon to top the White Truffle S1 ! Temps & RH have been good today! ***UPDATE 06/07/25*** The White Truffle S1 & Odo Wan Kanobi #50 seem to have responded well to yesterdays watering! Topped the White Truffle S1 defoliated around The Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton, thinking they will both need water early tomorrow morning at which point I will begin training! Temps & RH have been good today as well! ***UPDATE 06/08/25*** Gave the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2, also anchored down some branches that were ready after the feed so grow ties stick in the dirt! Cleaned the humidifier & I'm just waiting for people to wake up so I can use the shop vac to get all of the loose dirt that has flown out of the pots up & off the tent floor! Temps & RH have been good today, hoping 1L per plants wasn't too much at their current stage of growth, will continue to monitor... Want to try & fill out the 1 gal pots prior to transplanting at the end of week 3 ***UPDATE 06/09/25*** The Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton seem to have responded well to yesterdays watering! Gave the White Truffle S1 & the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 500ml of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 5.9 but halved sticky bandit to 0.5ml/L due to their size Got the shop vac in the tent early on in the day & cleaned up all the loose dirt that's been flying around! Readjusted grow ties to keep nodes in place as they continue to grow Temps & RH have been good today, have been trying to keep on the higher end ideal side of things temperature wise so the pots dry out a little quicker in-between waterings, temps & the switch to RO I have yet to struggle with water which is good, everything is looking great so far! ***UPDATE 06/10/25*** The White Truffle S1 & Odo Wan Kanobi #50 responded well to yesterdays feed! Temps & RH have been good today! Defoliation tomorrow ! ***UPDATE 06/11/25*** Topped the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 & anchored down a couple of the branches on the White Truffle S1 Defoliated & anchored branches down a bit better on the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton Temps & RH have been good today as well!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/12/25*** Went through & removed a few more fan leaves that were blocking new growth now that the tops have sprung back up after anchoring branches down yesterday! Got a few more grow ties in there & have been steadily stretching branches outwards to create more space towards the center of the plants Topped the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton up to 8, noticed 4 fan leaves had grown on a singular node right where I topped (on the 3rd node)! This plant is probably gonna explode after the transplant which I will do at the end of this week! Roots are very dense inside the 1 gal, could feel this when I put a couple more grow ties in there ! Have 3/4 plants where I can water on the same day is just the Odo Wan kanobi #50 I have to keep an eye on as it is still fairly small & the pot takes a little bit more time to dry out vs the other 3 that are a tad bit further along Watering day tomorrow, will just be aerated RO + calmag & microbes for 3/4 Got lucky with the Fish Sh!t I ordered! Canada Grow Supplies shipped me an older bottle, checked the lot # with Fish Head Farms direct, they were saying it is set to expire July 31st 2025, I was sent a newer bottle free of charge & they let me keep the old one as well, have been throwing it at absolutely everything & the stuff really does work! Hard to gauge how long a 500ml bottle will last if I was to incorporate these microbes into every single watering between both of my setups but it is something I would like to run consistently if my wallet can keep up, maybe a 4L or something next time I need it! Temps & RH have been on point today! I'm able to stick to that higher end ideal temperature without making any adjustments throughout the day, in my experience this seems to be what the plants like best during veg, 26C & 65% RH :P ***UPDATE 06/13/25*** Gave the Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton 1L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.3, the White Truffle S1 got 500ml of the same mixture! Adjusted grow ties again to spread the branches out further away from the center of the plants Temps & RH were really good today as well! ***UPDATE 06/14/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 will need some water early tomorrow morning Temps & RH have been good today! ***UPDATE 06/15/25*** Gave the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 500ml of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1, somewhat explosive growth during the day but it has burnt a bit after sitting dry in the salts for a while, was a bit late watering but it should recover ! Temps & RH have been good today! I'm not sure if the # of photos are limited now with the new update on this site, possibility it's limiting me thinking the photos are overexposed as I've been getting that prompt lately as well, I still have no limit on my other diary, down to 6 I can post on this week so I will just post a singular picture of all 4 plants + temps/RH over the next 3 days ***UPDATE 06/16/25*** The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 responded extremely well to yesterdays watering! Some explosive growth within the day & I was able to anchored down all 4 branches + a light defoliation ! The other 3 plants are gonna need water early tomorrow morning, think I will go with RO + calmag & microbes instead of feed so I'm able to feed during the transplant towards the end of this week / start of week 4 veg once the pots have dried out! Ones I've had at 1L are now drinking that at a very good pace & pots are basically bone dry in 3 days time! Temps & RH have been good today, limited to 6 photos to finish of the week & those will just be a birdseye view of all 4 plants & temps/RH until next week, am hoping the limits on this diary is temporary, no issues with the other journal whatsoever ***UPDATE 06/17/25*** Gave 3/4 plants 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2, did decide to go with a feed today instead of waiting until transplant so I can bump up to 1.5L 2L ish on transplant day! The Devils Rejects got a little over 1L & I had a fair bit of runoff, am confident at this point 1L per plant with the garden sprayer has been enough to saturate the entire medium in 1 Gal pots which is good! Trained some more & also defoliated today, 3/4 plants mutated along the way since I've started this grow & they have been growing 4 fan leaves + 4 shoots per node! Did some research & this is called Whorled Phyllotaxy! Read stress & environmental factors will not cause plants to exhibit this trait its strictly based on genetics but all 3 of these plants are different genetics from different breeders! I'm thinking the Great White Myco/Trichoderma I started them with as well as the microbes (Fish Sh!t & Monkey Juice) I've used every single watering from seed is what may have caused this despite what I've read online, it's quite odd! Temps have been higher today up around 29C, house does not stay cool in the summertime & there is a heatwave coming up in 5 days, terrible timing, my autoflowers could run another 5 or 6 days but I will be chopping 3/4 of them tonight in hopes I can dry within a somewhat manageable temperature, the remaining auto still needs like 3 weeks or so prior to the chop & I will be moving it into this 4x4 to finish up while 18/6, currently have it boosted with a laundry basket towards the back of the tent & it is now receiving 760 uMOL of light, plan is to try & keep temps around 60% for now & just hope for the best as this is all I'm able to do right now! ***UPDATE 06/18/25*** Plants responded ok to yesterdays feed, some clawing on a few of them after 1L a piece but they should bounce back shortly, will be transplanting 3/4 into 5 gal fabric pots once the 1 gals have dried out! Temps & RH have been pretty good today given the heat/stormy weather!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/19/25*** Early morning update today! The White Truffle S1 & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton ate through 1L each like it was nothing! The pots were dry this morning so I decided to transplant from 1 gal into 5 gal fabric pots! Foliage definitely plays its roll in how quick the plant will drink if you are mainlining, The Devils Rejects which I defoliated has roots to the bottom but the 1 gal is still fully saturated! Will be a few more days before I can transplant that one & if I decide to mainline again in the future will be leaving as much foliage as possible instead of stripping the plants naked! 1st time using fabric pots & the White Truffle S1 which I did 1st is wildly off center! Did not pack the dirt in whatsoever so the pot did not form a proper shape, decided to plop it in anyways because I already put the Great White Myco in the hole, that stuff is expensive & I do not want to waste any! Made sure to pack the dirt down a little bit when I filled the 2nd fabric pot so it took on a rounder shape & the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton is basically dead center which is good! Both plants seem unphased after transplant everything went very smooth! Gave the White Truffle S1 & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton 2L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1 to start, once the pots have dried out I will gradually start increasing the amount of water, will include a light feed in my next mixture for them! It's looking like I'm limited to 30 photos per week on this diary, am not sure if this is permanent moving forward but I'm stuck with that for now & will continue to update daily while posting new photos every other day! Temps & RH have been good so far today! Will post a couple photos of nodes with the Whorled Phyllotaxy mutation during the next batch of photos, some nodes are growing 3 fan leaves & 3 shoots per node while others are growing 4 fan leaves & 4 shoots per node! ***UPDATE 06/20/25*** Plants responded extremely well to yesterdays transplant & watering! Happiest they have been since I started them! +1 for Great White Mycorrhizae will be sure to keep a canister on hand at all times! The Devils Rejects is looking kind of rough & has burnt a bit after sitting in the salts for as long as it has, will be sure to plan my feeds around heavy defoliations in the future so this does not happen again, nothing major major but this could have been avoided, will probably transplant tomorrow morning & start with 2L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t Grabbed some AC Infinity self watering trays for my next Auto run in living soil which is coming up shortly (Just waiting on last harvest to dry to free up space in the 2x4), these plants are in Promix HP but I'm thinking I will probably grab the Spider Farmer self watering kit with the 50L reservoir for the 4x4 as well once my cheque comes in on the 30th! Did some research & the water wicking systems only saturate the bottom 3rd of the pots to give the plants exactly what they need, thinking I could run a set of those to ensure optimal moisture levels while still feeding from the top once Cronks new organic line is in, no need to worry about salts building up in the medium with organic nutrients, it should work + the timing is right, could start using them right away! Buffers in Promix HP tend to keep everything at 6.0 anytime I check runoff, confident I could just fill/PH the reservoir on day 1 & forget about them! Temps & RH have been good today, will upload pictures of everything tomorrow, limited to 30 photos per week & I've already used 10, still take pictures daily for the sake of a timelapse video at the end of each grow, diary updates will be pictures every other day from here! ***UPDATE 06/21/25*** Transplanted the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 & The Devils Rejects into 5 gal fabric pots, gave both plants 2L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1 The new bale of Promix HP i broke into for the transplant had some mildew on the outside of the bale, I returned it for a new one & got the same thing although not as severe, scraped away & threw out what I could, hoping I don't run into any issues later on in the grow, reached out on reddit & people were telling me it is quite common & still ok to use so I went ahead & filled the pots anyways, 1st time I've ever had mildew in a bale! Uploaded a picture of the Whorled Phyllotaxy on the Odo Wan Kanobi #50! Temps were a bit high today but RH was pretty good! ***UPDATE 06/22/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays transplant & watering! Busy day today as I had to finish trimming the plants from my 2x4, still dont have that done yet! Temps were a bit high but RH remained around 60% ***UPDATE 06/23/25*** Gave the White Truffle S1 & the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton 2L of aerated RO each mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1, halved base nutrients for 0.25ml/L per bottle Cleaned up around the bottom of the plants to make it easier to water, will continue on with LST in the next day or two! The lower leaves on the Devils Rejects are looking quite rough but new growth has come in unphased, think 1ml/L Sticky bandit is too much during veg & will be halving that to 05ml/L until the plants are a bit bigger! Temps & RH have been very high so far today! 29C already very early this morning & its supposed to be 33c outside later on in the day ! Gonna try my best to control temps throughout the rest of the day! More hand trimming today & once that is done I'm gonna fire up another auto run later in the day if I got time! ***UPDATE 06/24/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! Temps are very high today just below 32C, the plants still seem happy & RH has been good so far today at 60% ***UPDATE 06/25/25*** Gave the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 & the Devils Rejects 2L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1, also defoliated + trained these two a bit & will clean them up over the next couple of days prior to that next watering! Topped the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 up to 8 tops as well! The White Truffle S1 & the Super Lemon Haze are gonna need water tomorrow morning, I may go 1L - 1.5L each instead of 2 so I can get all 4 plants back on the same schedule water wise Thinking I can probably chop the Strawberry Dawg Pie I Moved into the 4x4 in the next couple of days which will free up space! Temps are high again today but not as bad as they have been, am at a max of 29C & RH has been close to 60%

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/26/25*** Gave the White Truffle S1 & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton 2L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1 Defoliated & trained all 4 plants again today, some weird shapes going on & I chose to leave a fair number of lateral branches as they are roughly the same height as the mains & I can anchor them more towards the center of the plants, will clean the White Truffle S1 & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton up a bit more tomorrow morning as well! Will be keeping a close eye on the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 for the remainder of the grow, structure is quite odd & I'm thinking there is a chance it could be a hermie! Temps & RH have been good today! We got a break in between the heatwave & I will take this time to try & cool the entire house down so temps don't skyrocket in the coming days! ***UPDATE 06/27/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Decided to replace yesterdays photos with todays now that the plants have bounced back after yesterdays defoliation & LST! Temps & RH are back to normal & I also chopped the Strawberry Dawg Pie today which means I can start running the humidifier again in the 4x4! ***UPDATE 06/28/25*** Everything is looking great so far! The Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton is picture perfect! Will be topping the White Truffle S1, Devils Rejects & Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton up to 16 later on this afternoon + adjust grow ties! The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 is quite a ways behind, plan was to switch to 12/12 after 3 or 4 nodes while 16 tops but the other 3 may get a couple extra nodes before the flip, might top 3/4 to 32 if the timing is right! Temps were high to start today but RH has been good, managed to get everything back down under 26C ! ***UPDATE 06/29/25*** Ended up topping the mains on the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton last night & it is now at 16, absolute beast of a plant really like the structure! Will be topping the White Truffle S1 & Devils Rejects up to 16 later on tonight or early tomorrow morning, a few nodes here & there still need the slightest amount of time Temps & RH are back to normal! Currently sitting at 24C 62% RH & should be able to maintain that throughout the day Plants are gonna need water tomorrow morning/afternoon, plan is to give all 4 a light feed using salts prior to switching over to the organic nutrients, Cronks organic line is set to ship tomorrow & I will also grab the Spider Farmer Gravity Fed Self Watering System for these ones as well! Comes with a 13 gal reservoir & waters from the bottom, don't want a ton of salts locked in towards the top is why I'm choosing to go with a light feed tomorrow, will be top feeding with liquid organics moving forward, think this is doable & i shouldn't have any issues! ***UPDATE 06/30/25*** Gave each Plant 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1 Topped the Devils Rejects up to 16, the White Truffle S1 is still gonna need another day or two, went through with some more LST & a little bit of supercropping to keep t he canopy even ! Did order the Spider Farmer Gravity Fed Self Watering System & that should be here within the next 24hrs, will be setting that up as soon as it arrives! Bit hot & humid today but the plants seem to be doing great nonetheless :P ***UPDATE 07/01/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed & are absolutely ripping through the water! Self watering system is here in the next couple hours & will set that up right away! Temps have been high today, RH has been good! Happy Canada Day everyone!! *Set up the self watering system & filled the reservoir with 50L of aerated RO mixed with 1ml/L calmag, 0.1ml/L Armadillo Armor & 1ml/L Monkey Juice at a PH of 6.0, will readjust PH tomorrow morning/afternoon, plants seem to be loving it so far! ***UPDATE 07/02/25*** Topped the White Truffle S1 up to 16 & did a bit of super cropping to even out the canopy ! The self watering system seems to be working although I'm not quite sure if it's wicking too much water! Pots are definitely heavier towards the bottom & roots should be there but 3/4 aren't looking all too great, the Devils Rejects seems to love it, happiest I have seen that plant since I started it! Did fill the reservoir with 50L & PH drift is a thing, 1st 10 gal was a PH of 6.2 everything else was a PH of 6.0, didn't aerate the RO that went into the reservoir was straight from my system into 5 gal buckets, mixed/PH'd + dumped, water in the trays themselves were sitting at a PH of 6.8 last night & the water in the reservoir creeped up to 6.5 from 6.0 in roughly 13 hours time, probably due to temperature of the water while PHing & lack of aeration, will PH down a second time tomorrow morning, plan is to also shut the valve anytime I add new water in the future, gives it time to aerate & can PH properly a 2nd time as well before I send it down the pipes! Grabbed a second bubbler so I can aerate the 5 gal buckets prior to topping up next time around, also have my original unit in the 50L reservoir to aerate whatever goes in there Once Cronks new organic line is in will be ditching the salts & switching over to organic top feeds with the liquid nutrients during flower, hoping those show up before the week is out! 3/4 plants are at 16 tops each + lateral branching, the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 is at 8 tops + lateral branching, think I will switch over to 12/12 once the 16 tops on the White Truffle S1 have grown 4 nodes in height! Temps & RH have been good today!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 07/03/25*** Plants seem to have adjusted well to the self watering system after a couple of days! Will be keeping an eye on PH over the next while, checked reservoir & it's back down to 6.2 from 6.8 yesterday, trays were sitting at 6.5 this morning, am hoping it remains somewhat stable around 6.2 from here! Temps & RH have been pretty good today! * Trouble with the reservoir tonight am glad i checked! PH dropped to 4.7 luckily i was still at 6.3 in the trays, Monkey Juice (beneficial bacteria) in the reservoir was not a good choice... Thought it would be fine & mainly threw it in there to help with buffering, Monkey Juice is oily in the bottle not salty, it still decided to seperate & created a thick white slime that coated the walls of the reservoir & a film got into the trays... Ended up dumping the entire 50L & cleaned the entire system, threw a fresh 10 gal of aerated RO back in & added 1ml/L calmag, PH'd down to 6.6, not quite sure where it will settle as PH initially rose before plummiting down to 4.7 in a matter of hours... if anyone has any tips on how to keep the PH of larger quantites of RO stable prior to it buffering in soil please let me know! ***UPDATE 07/04/25*** Things are looking pretty good today after yesterdays save! Little bit of droop but nothing all too concerning, fed some new water down the pipes for now & trays are sitting at 6.8, I shut the valve off to the reservoir & added some more calmag, res is now sitting at 273ppm, calmag only! Think i will continue to go by ppm & not ml/L for now, PH in the res is at 7.2, I'm gonna keep the valve shut & give the res 24 hrs to do whatever it's gonna to do prior to adding PH down and opening the valve, as suggested by another grower! Our tap water was testing at 590ppm & its 612ppm on the other side of town... I tested with two separate pens incl the Apera Grostar Series GS4 & these readings are accurate... Want to try & find something I can manage before I cut the RO with 20% tap water, that will be an absolute last resort! Temps & RH have been good today, Cronk nutrients are running a bit late & I still don't have a tracking number. I may have to top feed salts in a couple days to keep the ball rolling prior to switching over to organics for flower, will be using increments listed above ! ***UPDATE 07/05/25*** Reservoir & trays seem to have stabilized at 7.4 after sitting for 24hrs, PH'd the res to 5.9 & will give that another 2 hours to stabilize prior to sending it down the pipes, do think this method will work, only thing I needed to change was the time in between steps to ensure molecules have banded together correctly, 0 issues throughout grows of times past while mixing everything quickly & hand watering / using the garden sprayer, plants usually have that gone in 3 days time, realized I have to approach this differently while trying to maintain 13gal over long periods of time ! PH between the aerated reservoir & still water in trays did not differentiate from one another over a 40hr ish period of time I let RO sit & aerate on its own for 24 hours, put the calmag to it & let that sit & aerate for another 24 hours, PH down'd to 5.9 & will let that sit for 2 hours before feeding it through the tubes in short :P Ran a 2:1 slurry, 2 parts RO from one of the trays & 1 part Promix HP from the top of a pot, RO from the tray was 6.8 yesterday & 7.4 today, buffers in the Promix HP kept my slurry stabilized at 6.6 between today & yesterday without any change, decided to go in depth here as this could help someone else who is also new to hydroponics/reservoirs/wicking systems & larger quantities of RO if they happen across this, can be very confusing to start ! 3/4 plants are doing well right now, the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 has started to burn & I'm thinking this could be dried salts towards the top of the pot or the sudden flux in PH has thrown it off, will keep an eye on it over the next couple of days Once I'm for sure stabilized will shut the valve & see how long the trays themselves last without a constant feed from the reservoir, am also curious how long the pots will stay saturated at the bottom once the trays have dried out, ideally, would like to run the shut off valve to where each plant dries back entirely within 3 or 4 days so I can top feed once a week without water towards the bottom, this will change once I switch over to living soil, will top feed while bottoms are saturated at some point while in Promix HP as well to see what type of effect the extra water towards the top has, want to try 1L feeds & 2L feeds when the time is right Can probably dial my aquarium in with this new information as well & get the fish off the tap water xD Kid you not 590ppm on the low end in town here, can't be good for them either! Aside from this temps & RH have been good today, everything is looking pretty good, will continue messing with water chemistry until I got it figured out, suggested technique does seem hopeful & appreciate those who reached out to help! ***UPDATE 07/06/25*** After PHing the reservoir yesterday it dropped to 5.4 from 5.9 overnight, did not release any water into the trays, RO doesnt want to stabalize at 270ppm calmag & there's nothing else I really want to throw in there to help buffer, as a last resort did end up adding 20% dechlorinated tap water into the res to save myself the headache & avoid salts, PH'd to 6.1 & will leave it overnight to see what it wants to do, ppm is reading 320 after mixing The Odo Wan Kanobi #50 is continuing to decline & I'm almost certain it has locked out iron due to high PH, the other 3 plants have been using the 7.4 without issue but the Odo Wan kanobi #50 is continuing to burn, I PH'd the tray directly & it is back up to 6.8, really hoping the 20% tap water helps with stabilization once i send it through the tubes into the trays! The White Truffle S1 is starting to show signs of a decline as well Temps have been high throughout the day at 30C, RH has been good at 63% ***UPDATE 07/07/25*** PH in the reservoir has remained somewhat steady after adding 20% dechlorinated tap water, only up to 6.2 from 6.1 in roughly 16 hours time, fed water into the tubes early this morning & plants seem much happier, trays have been sitting at 6.7, it's looking like anything under 7.0 will keep them happy! All 4 plants are due for a feed sometime soon, still waiting on Cronks Organic line & will feed salts from the top if the organic nutes aren't here by Thursday Temps & RH have been pretty good today considering the heat! ***UPDATE 07/08/25*** Everything is back on track & reservoir seems to have stabilized just under 6.2 for now without me needing to do anything! Topped the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 up to 16, it's actually closer to 32 from 8 with all of the side branching! Temps & RH have been good today! ***UPDATE 07/09/25*** Things are looking good today! Confident the reservoir will remain stable from here, PH is only fluctuating within a point throughout the day & I assume temperature/evaporation plays its roll in that as well, 20% tap water does work well! UPS is picking up my Organic nutrients tomorrow & I should have those by Saturday, possibility I might still have to wait until early next week but should have them soon so I'm going to hold off on top feeding salts for now! Plants are going to need a defoliation & some more LST prior to flipping over to 12/12, once I have the nutrients do plan on doing everything all in one go! Temps & RH have been good today although RH has been a little higher than I would have liked

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 07/10/25*** A heavy defoliation & some super cropping this afternoon, ended up with a fairly even canopy although the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 is much bigger than the other plants despite being the youngest & 3 nodes behind! It was just recently topped to 16 & new nodes are still like nubs, suspect that one could be a male/hermie given the rate of growth & overall vigor, will continue to watch closely! Self watering trays are definitely doing what they are supposed too & I'm glad I grabbed them! Roots have burst out the bottom of the fabric pots & started growing into the wicks, I missed this at 1st & will be trying to keep the pots stationary for the remainder of the grow, am hoping the plants don't become rootbound, seems to be a lot going on underneath the earth & I haven't even switched to 12/12 yet, the Devils Rejects took the worst bit of damage & I ended up ripping a fair bit of roots off towards the bottom, the other 3 have just barely gotten to the wicks, removed what I could from the wicks & placed the plants back onto the trays! Reservoir has remained steady in around 6.2 & would like to think I have that dialed at this point! Cronks new Organic Line still hasn't shipped yet & I'm thinking I will top feed 1L each using the mixture listed above if I'm unable to feed organically tomorrow afternoon Temps & RH have been high today but should be back on track once the sun goes down! ***UPDATE 07/11/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays defoliation! Decided to hold off on feed until tomorrow afternoon, added another 6 gal of water to the resrervoir & I'm just waiting for it to stabilize before I open the valve! Temps & RH were good today ! ***UPDATE 07/12/25*** Nothing really needed to be done today, will give each plant 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.3 in the next couple of hours Temps & RH have been pretty high so far today, should have everything back to normal shortly! ***UPDATE 07/13/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed & no decline whatsoever with a 1L top feed alongside the self watering trays at the bottom! Opened the valve for the reservoir now that the newer water in the res has stabilized, no changes needed to be made, res was sitting stable at 6.1 both this morning & this afternoon! Temps & RH were both high throughout the day today & will probably need to fire up the dehumidifier in the next couple of days! ***UPDATE 07/14/25*** Reservoir has remained stable & just floats back & forth between 6.1 & 6.2 throughout the day PH Wise, for sure dialed in at this point & will stop mentioning from here aside from the days I fill it :P The amount of water these plants are drinking right now is absolutely insane, Res was at 40L yesterday & that has dropped to 10L in roughly 27 hours time, each tray holds 7.3L & I'm guessing they were about half full prior to reopening the valve, this would mean each plant is drinking roughly 3L - 4L of water per day on top of yesterdays 1L per plant top feed, roots have grown out of the bottoms of the pots & I'm just hoping they don't end up becoming rootbound at this point, will be switching over to 12/12 once the new branches on the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 have grown 3 nodes tall, should be somewhere towards the middle of next week. Once I'm at 12/12 am undecided on whether I will ScrOG these ones out or not, think this will be dependent on the stretch when the time comes, the Super Lemon Haze x Gary Payton has already begun to preflower but no signs of what sex in regards to the other 3, the Odo Wan Kanobi #50 is really the only one I got to worry about, odd start, current structure + overall vigor has me thinking it could be a hermie! Temps & RH have been pretty good today, would like to drop back down towards 23C ish if I can for a couple of days after running them in around 28C - 30C most days during the heatwave, everything is looking pretty good as is but can kind of sense they need a bit of a break, will see if I can rig something up in order to drop temps! ***UPDATE 07/15/25*** Managed to keep temps at a pretty good level throughout the day today! They seem to like the higher temps here & there but not so much when the heat is consistent like it has been up around 30C Replaced yesterdays photos with the ones from today so the difference can be seen, plants look very happy today! Found out the floods in Texas are what delayed my organic nutrients, UPS has the package & those should be on the way shortly, will be switching over from synthetic for flower once those are here!
