LSO Autoflowers 2.0 !

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 10/22/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! The Wedding Cake was taking a long time to surface & I ended up digging through the soil to find it yesterday, looked to be in rough shape & I wasn't sure if it would make it but am seeing major improvements on a second check throughout the day today, should still go just fine! Thinking it must be the Great White Myco causing these issues & I will probably wait until seedlings surface before applying in the future, had the same problem with a couple of photoperiods last run! Temps & RH were both a little bit low throughout the day today while the light is at 25%, humidity still tends to sit around 70% while the door is closed & 22c is looking like the average temp for now! Will see what I can do to raise the pair of these over the next couple of days! ***UPDATE 10/24/25*** So far so good! Was able to maintain 23c/75% RH throughout the day & night yesterday, humidifier could have used a refill around noon today but I'm gonna wait until tomorrow morning to refill in hopes of a quicker dry back, currently sitting at 23c/62% RH & will be using the garden sprayer from here for a more even water distribution! The Wedding Cake is still looking somewhat rough, can see a small amount of growth & improvement in between days 1 & 3, should straighten up in the next couple of days hopefully! ***UPDATE 10/26/25*** Gave each plant 500ml of dechlorinated tap water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2 shortly after taking photos today! The Wedding Cake hasn't shown any improvement over the last couple of days, being an autoflower I'm thinking I may pluck it & start a new one to ensure I end up with a decent end product even if it ends up a little behind, will see what it is looking like on day 7 & make a decision then! Temps are a bit low & also kept RH low for a quicker dry back ***UPDATE 10/28/25*** The Wedding Cake is showing little to no signs of improvement so I decided to germinate a second one using ceramic plates/paper towel with some bottled water, will replace the current one once the seed has germinated! Temps were good throughout the day today, kept RH low again for a quicker dry back, will get some cover crop + hay in the pots the next time the plants need water :P

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 10/29/25*** 1st day of week 2 & I'm thinking the soil could be a little hot when I look at the Grape Tuna & Gorilla Zkittlez, will probably use less reamendments in the future whenever I go to start a new run! Gonna keep the Current Wedding Cake as a placeholder up until the replacement seed germinates, I don't think soil is to blame in this case, when I go back on the germination tab the original seed was much larger than the others & there was some sort of membrane stuck to the tail end of the tap root, am assuming this is why I ran into issues... Watering day tomorrow, will lay down some cover crop/hay, may also raise the light & bump fan intensity to strengthen the plants, should be able to raise temps a couple of degrees while the light is at 50% as well! Temps were good throughout the day today & RH averaged 65% ***UPDATE 10/30/25*** Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1 Layed down some cover crop/hay prior to watering, increased fan intensity but decided to leave the light at 25% instead of raising & bumping up to 50%, did not water the Wedding Cake as it will be getting plucked & replaced in a day or two Temps & RH were good throughout the day today! ***UPDATE 10/31/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Still waiting on my replacement Wedding Cake to germinate, moved the ceramic plates into the tent & just sat them in the 1st ones pot for warmer temps to hopefully speed up the process! Temps & RH were spot on throughout most of the day today but humidifier needed a refill when i took screenshot Happy Halloween everyone! :) ***UPDATE 11/02/25*** Nothing really needed to be done today, been sick with covid since the 25th & updates have been late recently, have still managed to grab pictures each day which is good :P Bumped light intensity up to an average of 430uMOL shortly after taking photos today, now have a clip fan on the ballast & put the one on the plants up to 10! Temps/RH were pretty good throughout most of the day today! ***UPDATE 11/04/25*** Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2, the second Wedding Cake is now in the soil & it got roughly 350ml of the same mixture Plants responded well to the bump in light intensity, everything is looking good! Am seeing healthy green every which way as I close out week 2, was originally thinking the soil could have been a little too hot to start after applying reamendments, no signs of burn any which way but is looking like the Grape Tuna may end up being the runt of the bunch, contemplated plucking/replacing it but figured I will just let it go & see what I end up with at the end, hopefully a little more vigor before it starts to flower! Temps have been really good throughout the day today but couldn't bring RH up to 60%, will see what I can do to fix this during week 3

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 11/05/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering, cover crop has started to pop up here & there underneath the hay as well ! Noticed the Grape Gorilla & Grape Tuna have already began to preflower... Very early for this on day 15 & both are still quite small... The Grape Tuna will for sure be the runt of the bunch unfortunately, not off to a great start when comparing to my last LSO run, everything was legitimately 4x the size on that last run, will be double checking to see what could have possibly gone wrong, high possibility our 600ppm tap water played its roll... Temps were good throughout the day today, RH was a tad bit low, want to shoot for roughly 60% throughout the week this week ***UPDATE 11/08/25*** The replacement Wedding Cake is now above soil ! Plants that have been going are quite small during preflower, went through with a pretty heavy defoliation so shaded bud sites receive more light, did not mention at the start of the grow but have had to stealth this one prior to receiving an appraisal on our house xD RO has not been an option & overall vigor has suffered tremendously, there are a few things I definitely could have done better... Should be ok to set the rest of my equipment up again on Wednesday, will see how they are looking but has crossed my mind to either chop them down & start fresh or i might try & squeeze all 4 into the 2x2 if they aren't going to bush out past the edges of the pots, really do not think these will yield well if I decide to let them grow, will just have to wait & see what all goes on during the stretch & make a decision then... Temps were really good throughout the day today but RH was kind of low at 52%, a bigger humidifier could come in handy during these colder months & I will probably look into one of those soon as well! ***UPDATE 11/09/25*** The Gorilla Zkittlez has started to preflower! Nothing really needed to be done between today & yesterday, noticed cover crop has been slow to surface, what has surfaced didn't look all too great & i assume the soil is a bit too hot for young plants, the pots seem to be holding onto moisture for extended periods of time as well vs the 1L every 2 or 3 days on my 1st run, have been using the same amount of water this go but waterings have been nowhere near as frequent, plants seem happier today & will need water early tomorrow morning, some slight clawing but no burn any which way aside from one of the cotyledons on the Wedding Cake + yellowing clovers throughout the cover crop Temps & RH have been good throughout the day today although less than ideal for that younger seedling ***UPDATE 11/11/25*** Gave each plant 1L of dechlorinated tap water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.3, the Wedding Cake got 500ml of the same mixture Disappointed with the overall size/vigor of these plants as they begin to flower, the Wedding Cake doesn't look like it's off to a great start either... Something has definitely gone awry & I'm still pointing towards our 600ppm tap water over the reamendments I mixed into the soil before starting this grow, I put down a fair amount of cover crop as well & very little has managed to surface including what's underneath the hay, leaning more towards scrapping this entire project & starting fresh instead of wasting time/resources on what will essentially end up being a very low yield, I still have seeds of each kind aside from the Gorilla Zkittlez & will probably stick with the same kinds if I choose to uproot these ones, unsure if I should let the Gorilla Zkittlez continue as is, I only had the singular seed, was an award winner & wanted to at least try that one! As far as general application things should be back to normal by the end of the week & from there I can start running RO again, just sucks I'm a couple of weeks too late to really do much with these, will make a final decision once the pots have dried out but there is a high chance I'm just going to start this one over! Temps were good throughout the day today but RH was a bit lower than I would have liked

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 11/12/25*** Plants responded ok ish to yesterdays watering, the 600ppm tap water is not the best for them & aeration would probably help, can't have my buckets or reservoirs out right now, I might keep the Grape Gorilla & Gorilla Zkittlez if excess calcium doesn't become an issue, plan is to start fresh in the 2x4 & could move those two over to the 2x2 once I'm able to set everything back up, they are small but should still produce enough end product I can at least test is what I am thinking, think it would be fun to compare the difference in size/quality between straight tap water & properly cut RO as well, I usually have my plants on nutrients at this point in the game, know from past experience plants will burn if I try & mess around with any type of NPK additives given the hardness of our tap water, am hoping to return to normal practice within the week although there is a possibility I may have to wait until next week, really should have waited until I was able to do things properly before starting this run in short xd! Temps were good throughout the day today but RH was very low ***UPDATE 11/13/25*** /// ***UPDATE 11/14/25*** Gave each plant 1L of unaerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2, the Wedding Cake got roughly 300ml of the same mixture & i diluted that with roughly 200ml of bottled water Wednesday of next week will be the day I'm able to unpack the rest of my equipment & I can start aerating RO & tap water again, was able to sneak a feed in today now that I have the date, still hoping they get a little bigger during the stretch, still no signs of cover crop! Temps & RH were pretty good throughout the day today! ***UPDATE 11/15/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! Will be back to daily updates now that I'm on flowering tabs & the number of pictures per week is no longer limited! Pretty sure I fried the second Wedding Cake due to bad VPD... Will not be replacing a 3rd time but would still like to run one next go while I have everything on the same time/schedule! Temps were good throughout the day but RH was kind of low ***UPDATE 11/17/25*** Thought I was in the clear but noticed some thrip damage on the Gorilla Zkittlez this afternoon which means those ******* things are back! I don't think there is much I can do while these plants are in flower, assume there must be larvae in the soil & will look into Bti, have some yellow sticky traps I can use for now but that's about it, damage seems to be very minor as is, might try self watering trays so I can water from the bottom & will remove damaged leaves + give the plant a wipe down with some damp paper towel early tomorrow morning, should not spray neem oil during flower Power went out for about an hour or two today, tree branch hit some power lines somewhere on our circuit Temps were good throughout the day but RH was a bit low ***UPDATE 11/17/25*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Shit at a PH of 6.0, the Wedding Cake got 500ml of the same mixture & water was a 50/50 mix of dechlorinated tap water & RO, a PPM of 285 The Wedding Cake is still alive but given it's current state I highly doubt much will come from it, will continue to water & just hope for the best! Removed fan leaves with thrip damage on the Gorilla Zkittlez & set down some yellow sticky traps! Low odds this time of year but found a singular lady bug in the house without even looking for it, think it's been about 2 years since I last saw one & did wondered from time where did they all go?, the June bugs as well! Threw the ladybug in the tent not expecting much but the thing is going nuts!! I thought i would need like 50 to 100 of them for any type of real impact, can see why they say predatorial insects are the best way to deal with thrips, have never even seen one move that fast before, curious if it can eliminate the problem solo, seems to be doing a thorough scan, very cool to see! Temps & RH were really good up until the end of the day today!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 11/19/25*** Removed a few more fan leaves with thrip damage on the Gorilla Zkittlez, they don't seem to be bothering with any other plants, damage is very minor as is but still on going! Day 13 on the Wedding Cake & it has finally decided it wants to grow past that 1st node xD House is all settled now & I can start running RO mixtures frequently again! Temps & RH were good throughout the day today! ***UPDATE 11/20/25*** Nothing really needed to be done today, will be time for another feed tomorrow morning! Temps & RH have been pretty good so far throughout the day! ***UPDATE 11/21/25*** Decided to hold off on watering for now & will feed early tomorrow morning, did give the Grape Tuna roughly 200ml of bottled water for now because it seemed to have dried out quicker than the other 3, have two separate 5 gal buckets of RO & tap water aerating for future use as well ! The Wedding Cake has finally decided to throw it's 1st set of true leaves on Day 15! To my surprise they actually look quite healthy with no signs of burn! Temps were a bit high today & RH is also on the lower end as a result
