LSO Autoflowers !

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% !

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 07/07/25*** 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

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 07/21/25*** 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! ***UPDATE 07/22/25*** Refilled the self watering trays this morning, decided to go with a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water, this was stabilized at 6.3 prior to refilling the trays! Double checked light intensity & the tallest plant is currently receiving 560 uMOL of light Have a strong feeling the Acid Snow & Poisoned Sunset will overtake the Destroyer F3 & GMO 8, not quite sure what I am going to do just yet, flipped the photoperiods in the 4x4 over to 12/12 not too long ago & I have nowhere else I can really put them, may have to rely on stakes or something similar, thought about super cropping but want to see how these do while under minimal stress, defoliation is something I wanted to try & avoid as well, do think super cropping will be the absolute last resort, will just have to wait & see! Noticed all 4 plants are throwing 8 - 11 finger leaves towards the top despite indica dominance! Have always topped since the beginning of time & do not know if this is normal, best guess is they just took extremely well to the living soil & are happy :P Temps have been good today but humidity is still a tad bit higher than I would like, dehumidifier should be here in the next couple of hours & will be setting that up right away! ***UPDATE 07/23/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays refill! Trays were filled to the brim & water is already half gone! Everything is stretching fast & I adjusted the light again to where the tallest plant is now receiving 540 uMOL, this may end up becoming a daily thing over the next couple of weeks as they continue to stretch! Little bit of leaf tucking to ensure lower branches receive some light Thoroughly inspected the plants this morning & found some nanners on the GMO 8... Luck of the draw as opposed to stress or light leak, possibility it could be genetics, went through the entire plant & was just 4 bracts on the main stem clustered around a singular node, plucked these for now & will keep an eye on the plant, possibility it may need to go... Thinking I might move it over to the 1.5' x 1.5' foldable sauna I usually dry my bud in, could use a 165W blurple if the sauna will support the weight of the light, will free up space in the 2x4 & allow me to isolate the plant instead of killing it, worst case scenario can throw it out in the backyard! Temps have been good so far today. had the back door open throughout the early morning in order to cool the house down, RH should drop in a couple of hours now that I have a dehumidifier in the room, it seems to work well! ***UPDATE 07/24/25*** Organic nutrients showed up today & decided to give each plant a 1L top feed, aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above, went with the lowest increments listed on the back of the bottles to see how they respond, there was no need to PH UP or DOWN, mixture stabilized on its own at 6.4, a PPM of 632 Looked the GMO 8 over again today & I'm not seeing any other signs of herm, ended up ordering a 2x2 yesterday + everything I will need to run that & it should be here today, the 2x4 is crowded & I will probably move the Destroyer F3 & GMO 8 over to the 2x2 once I set that up, plan on keeping clones & a mother plant in there once the space is free :P Currently Prepping water to refill the self watering trays, the top feed + whats left in the trays will be enough to keep them happy for another 2 to 3 days, unsure of what I will mix for the trays, still need to do a bit of research! Temps have been good but humidity is really high today, trying my best to fix that this afternoon! ***UPDATE 07/25/25*** Plants responded extremely well to yesterdays top feed! Have water prepping with organic calmag to refill the trays tomorrow morning! Set up a 2x2 & moved the Destroyer F3 & GMO 8 over to that, kept the Acid Snow & Poisoned Sunset in the 2x4, they are sat relatively close to each other for better light distribution Adjusted both lights as the plants continue to stretch, tried to keep everything under 550 uMOL for now Hot & Humid today! Cleaned the filters for my AC & temps are back to normal, I now have 2 small dehumidifiers running in the room as well which should bring RH down throughout the day hopefully! ***UPDATE 07/26/25*** Refilled the self watering trays with aerated RO, mixed this with nutrients listed above, bumped Puur K to 1.25ml/L & Puur Balance to 2ml/L, did not include microbes, carbs or armadillo armor, this was PH'd to 6.17 & has sat stable to the 0.01 for 6 hours so far! Will be top feeding from here once the trays are empty, would be quite expensive to supply the self watering trays with nutes consistently ! Put a 4" exhaust inside the 2x2, went with the Vivosun D4 & that setup is now complete! Temps & RH have been good today, accidentally splashed water on the hygrometer in the 2x4 & RH is reading higher as a result ! ***UPDATE 07/27/25*** Plants seem to have responded well to yesterdays refill, do not want to lift pots off the trays to check PH as roots have grown into the wicks, checked the bit of water that was leftover this morning & it was sitting at 6.6 downstairs in the heat, I assume what's in the trays will still be somewhere around 6.1 to 6.5, have much better temps upstairs vs the 31c - 33c downstairs where the photoperiods are kept! RH has been hard to maintain even with 2 dehumidifiers in my room, averaging 62% RH between both setups, air conditioner creates moist air on hot days like today, should drop later on tonight once the sun goes down, aside from this everything is looking pretty good, the GMO 8 is doing what it's supposed too & I have not spotted any more nanners which is good ! Checked PAR & there was no need to adjust the lights today, everything is within 500 - 550 uMOL right now :P

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 07/28/25*** Everything is looking pretty good today although temps have been very high! Close to 33c in the 2x4, the plants don't seem to mind this every now & then, should be ok for today! Tad bit worried about the water that remains in the self watering trays, having quite a few issues with my photoperiods downstairs in the 4x4 & they are not looking all too great, PH wont sit still & wants to climb up to 7.5 regardless of what I throw at it, once the trays are empty will be using a 50/50 mix of dechlorinated tap water & RO for the remainder of the grow to ensure stability PH wise, will top feed nutrients listed above instead of prepping base nutrients for the trays in the future! Checked the height of the plants & the Acid Snow being the tallest plant is currently sitting at 29.5" on day 29! Thinking these ones will finish in around day 70 from what I can see so far, will be mulching the cover crop once the self watering trays are empty ! ***UPDATE 07/29/25*** The Acid Snow has stopped drinking water & all 4 plants have burnt towards the bottom... Did not want to lift plants off the self watering trays because roots have grown into the wicks, instead I cut the grates off the self watering trays & siphoned the water out of each tray with a fish pump! Currently prepping water to refill, will be a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0, want to ensure PH stays below 7.0 for a couple of days, there is a high chance I have already killed a majority of the biology in the soil & I'm thinking 6.0 for now would be the best move in order to improve the overall health of the plants, not the best time to be running into problems & I want to correct the issue as fast as possible, also watered 1L each from the top using the same mixture! Checked PAR & had to readjust the light in the 2x2, was up around 630 uMOL & am now sitting at 560 uMOL Temps have been high today but RH has improved slightly, am going to continue working towards dialing in my environment! ***UPDATE 07/30/25*** Siphoned all of the water out of the trays using the fish pump again today, PH was sitting at 7.0 when I woke up & after seeing how much sediment & crap was in the trays downstairs I will not be refilling these ones until they are clean, plants are currently relying on what was given from the top yesterday & do seem to be recovering! Ripped roots off the wicks in my 4x4 & if those plants make a full recovery I may do the same with the ones up here so I can re-wick & continue watering from the bottom, plain water only! Think I will water 10% worth of the medium tomorrow which would be 2L each, will also mulch the cover crop Temps have been high again today but RH has remained under 60% which is good, heatwave should be over soon, buds are forming fast! Power was out this morning & I lost about an hour of light, will need to reprogram the wall timers so they are back on schedule!
