connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/23/25***
Started the germination process, all 4 should hopefully pop in the next 2 to 5 days, paper towel & ceramic plates with some bottled water!
Put a toothpick to the side of the plate so I don't lose track of which order they are in !
Strains are:
Destroyer F3 (Tuna Kush x UBC Chemo) - Butterbean Birdseed
Acid Snow ((Frosted Cherry’Os S3 x Granite Haze) x Cherry’Os S4) - Speedrun Seeds
Poisoned Sunset (Poisoned Skywalker x Nightsaber) - Crossbone Genetics
GMO 8 (GMO 8 x GMO 8) Atlas Seed Co
1st time trying living soil! Will be using Black Swallow KIS Premium Living Soil, also have some blackstrap molasses, Great White myco, Fish Sh!t & Cronks new organic line is pre ordered + set to ship before the month is out! Their Monkey Juice & Armadillo Armor are organic as well & will try & run them alongside the newer organic line!
Grabbed some self watering bases for the living soil as well to ensure everything is ran optimally!
Will be 5 gal fabric pots from seed
***UPDATE 06/25/25***
All 4 seeds have germinated successfully! Gonna wait until tomorrow morning to sink the Acid Snow & GMO 8 in the dirt, tap roots still need a bit more time to grow!
- Vacuumed & cleaned the 2x4
- Cleaned clip fans + all equipment
- Printed & laminated labels for each strain
- Filled pots with Black Swallow LSO
- Sprinkled in 1 tablespoon of Great White Myco per pot & mixed it around the center roughly 2" deep
- Gave the Destroyer F3 & Poisoned Sunset 250ml of bottled water each to water them in
Think I will continue to run with un PH'd bottled water up until the end of the month prior to switching over to RO, want to try & keep this run 100% organic & will need to wait for Cronks new line in order to use organic calmag!
Self watering trays are not in the tent yet, had read it's best to wait until roots can reach the bottom 3rd of the pot, will be a tight squeeze but I should be able to get them in there if I take the humidifier out, will not need the humidifier by the time the plants are ready so this should work perfectly :P
So far so good!
***UPDATE 06/26/25***
Got the Acid Snow & GMO 8 in the dirt this afternoon! Same technique as the first two! 1 tablespoon of Great White Myco each, mixed that around in a circle roughly 2" deep & watered them in with 250ml of bottled water each
Adjusted light to where the seedlings will be receiving roughly 300 uMOL once they are above ground
Decided to lightly mist the surface area of all pots so the tops don't dry out completely during the earlier stages of growth, this also stops loose dirt from flying around the tent, will grab some cover crop or straw/mulch for the tops of the pots on the 30th, if I decided to go cover crop instead of hay/mulch will be equal parts Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Clover, Lentil & Fenugreek, may do both!
Have a clip fan on 5/10 to keep the ballast cool but nothing is going on underneath yet, humidifier is also off for the time being
Will start Week 1 Day 1 Veg once all 4 plants are above soil!
Cheers Guys!
***UPDATE 06/28/25***
The Destroyer F3 & Poisoned Sunset are now above soil! Just waiting on the Acid Snow & GMO 8
***UPDATE 06/29/25***
All 4 plants are now above soil!
Temps are a bit low but RH has been good, will order some cover crop + hay/mulch for water retention tomorrow afternoon!
Week 1 Day 1 Veg tomorrow!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/30/25***
Shortly after taking pictures I gave each pot 500ml of bottled water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t to keep the top layer moist for now, these microbes are said to work cohesively alongside everything else that is already in there, both are 100% organic!
Things are looking pretty good to start!
Seedlings will need water tomorrow, ordered some hay/mulch & cover crop as well, should have that thursday!
Temps are a little high to start but RH has been good!
***UPDATE 07/01/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! There will be some dry back between today & tomorrow which is not good, the outer rings of the medium have already dried out & I do not want to put tap water or RO with synthetic calmag into the LSO, will have to wait until tomorrow to saturate with bottled water! Organic nutes should be here within the week hopefully & I can switch over to RO at that point!
Temps & RH have been spot on today!
Happy Canada Day everyone!!
***UPDATE 07/02/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today, hoping to get to the store in the next couple of hours so i can spray the pots down with some more bottled water, 1st 500ml per pot went fast! This medium dries out much quicker than Promix HP from what I can tell so far!
Hay/Mulch + Cover Crop should be here tomorrow!
Plants seem to be doing well & temps/RH have been good today!
***UPDATE 07/03/25***
Hay/mulch & cover crop showed up this morning! Layed both down & watered each pot with 500ml of bottled water!
Temps & RH have been great so far today!
***UPDATE 07/04/25***
Nothing really needed to be done today, gave each pot another 500ml of bottled water each, might switch over to 1L per pot every other day instead of 500ml daily
Temps & RH have been good today!
***UPDATE 07/05/25***
Gave each plant 500ml of bottled water each
Temps were a bit high today at 28C but RH was good, up around 70% !
Think I will try 1L each every other day from here (5% of the medium) instead of 500ml daily, if this works well will continue on with that up until day 18 ish at which point I will introduce the self watering trays, hopefully roots are within the bottom 3rd of the pots by then!
***UPDATE 07/06/25***
Gave each plant 500ml of bottled water
Temps were high today, RH was pretty good up around 70% !

Gave each plant 1L of aerated RO & bottled water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.5, ratio is 1:1 aerated RO to bottled water (half & half)
Cover crop is starting to pop up & am already seeing a lot of clovers which is nice!
Temps & RH have been goo today as well!
***UPDATE 07/08/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Cover crop is coming in aggressively & raising the straw trying to push through towards the light, plucked a few clovers that have overtook/grown close to the plants, will probably wait until the start of week 3 to apply the next time around!
Temps & RH have been really good today!
***UPDATE 07/09/25***
Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.5, water was 50% Aerated RO & 50% dechlorinated tap water
Cover crop is still coming in somewhat aggressively so I patted everything down & tried to push what I could away from the plants + flatten the straw, did work fairly well!
Temps & RH have been good today, that time of year where I'm able to hold 60% + without a humidifier
***UPDATE 07/10/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Removed some more clovers that were overgrown & blocking light
Temps & RH have been good today, everything seems to be right on track!
***UPDATE 07/11/25***
Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.5, water was 50% aerated RO & 50% bottled water
Temps & RH were a bit higher than normal throughout the day today but managed to get everything back on track at 25C & 63% RH
***UPDATE 07/12/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Temps & RH are pretty good so far today!
***UPDATE 07/13/25***
Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.4, water was 50% aerated RO & 50% bottled water
Some explosive growth in the last 48 hours! Not just the plants but the cover crop has really started to take off as well!
The 3 finger leaves on the Poisoned Sunset are already bigger than my hand, that one is going to be an absolute BEAST, had to lift my light out of the way to keep the plant in frame when I took pictures, this is a 1st! I have a strong feeling they're not going to fit in the 2x4 once things really get going, will have to figure something out when that time comes!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today, start of week 3 tomorrow, will probably get the AC Infinity Self Watering Bases in there on Day 16 once the pots have dried out!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 07/14/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Colors in the photos are a bit off today, had to use the wide angle lens on my phone to keep the plants in frame instead of pro mode because of how low the light is currently!
Still can't get over the size of the fan leaves on the Poisoned Sunset at this current stage xD The 5 finger leaves are bigger than my hand & continuing to grow!
Temps & RH have been pretty good today, everything is looking great & the plants are thriving, will get the AC Infinity Self watering bases in there half way through the week!
***UPDATE 07/15/25***
Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2, water was 50% aerated RO & 50% bottled water
Temps & RH have been good today!
***UPDATE 07/16/25***
Plants responded well to yesterdays watering!
Raised the light & put it to 50% power where it will stay for the remainder of the grow, the tallest plant is now receiving roughly 420 uMOL of light!
Currently prepping water to fill the AC Infinity Self Watering Bases, those should be in the tent over the next day or two, am thinking it's best I stick with 50/50 RO & tap water until the Organic Calmag is here, it shipped out yesterday & I should see that in 3 to 9 business days!
Turned clip fans up to 10 & raised them shortly after taking pictures tonight!
Everything is looking really good! Fan leaves on the Poisoned Sunset are longer than a 500ml water bottle & wider than I can stretch my hand, photos aren't really doing that one any justice, it's going to be a monster plant!
Temps & RH have been good today, 25C on average + 70% RH, thinking I can probably remove the humidifier at this point as well!
***UPDATE 07/17/25***
Still just waiting for my water to stabilize before adding in the Self Watering trays, soil is still fairly moist so I decided to hold of on watering for now
Temps & RH have been good today at 25C 62% RH
***UPDATE 07/18/25***
Plants responded well to the bump in light intensity on Wednesday, all 4 are currently in preflower & I'm just gonna leave them be & let them reach towards 600uMOL during the stretch!
Water I had prepped stabilized at a PH of 6.6 & I got that in there + the AC Infinity Self Watering Trays!
Temps & RH have been good today!
***UPDATE 07/19/25***
Plants responded ok to the AC Infinity Self Watering Trays, some slight clawing towards the top of the plants but nothing major, they may start looking a little better as time goes on!
Temps & RH were good today!
***UPDATE 07/20/25***
Some explosive growth overnight at the plants begin to stretch, the Acid Snow has really started to take off! A bit crowded but should be ok for now!
Temps & RH have been good today although RH is reading higher than it actually is because I had the hygrometer sat inside one of the pots

Self Watering trays are almost empty & I have been prepping water for a refill, that will take place tomorrow afternoon! Bottom of the pots are still fully saturated & my 80/20 mix of aerated RO + tap water usually takes two PH downs with 24hrs in between each other before the water will stabilize, slight amount of burn here & there which I assume is PH related, drift is somewhat unpredictable with my current ratio & how low I've kept the ppm in these current mixtures, once the Organic Calmag is here I should be able to stabilize much easier up around 250-300ppm
Plants have really started to take off during the stretch & things are looking great! I finally got a tracking number for the Organic nutrients I ordered from Cronk & I'm hoping to have those before the week is out so I can start top feeding alongside the LSO & cover crop!
Temps are under control but humidity has been an on/off issue over the past couple of days, ordered another dehumidifier from amazon I can dedicate solely towards the 2x4, it should be here tomorrow!
