JGROWS21 General Status Normal growth across the board. Two plants are slightly behind, but everything is running on schedule. Key Metrics & Adjustments Water Source: Using RO (Reverse Osmosis) water (0.0 EC). Water Prep: Adding Cal-Mag first to reach a base of 0.4 EC before adding nutrients. ✅ Total Nutrients: Feeding at a final 1.1 EC. ✅ Lighting: Dimmed to 35%; will gradually increase intensity as the plants develop. ✅ Observations Consistency: Growth is looking steady. Even with the two slower plants, the garden is hitting its marks on time. HAPPY GROWING! 🌱✌️

JGROWS21 General Status Transplanted everyone into 11-litre pots. I’m still hand-watering at this stage; holding off on the automatic system until the roots have established a bit more in the new volume. Key Metrics & Adjustments Nutrients: Increased from 1.1–1.2 EC up to 1.5 EC. The new growth is already looking much healthier! ✅ Lighting: DLI is currently sitting at 22. ✅ Training: Doing some LST (Low Stress Training) to help the side branches catch up with the main tops for a more even canopy. Observations & Future Notes I suspect the early deficiencies happened because I stayed at 1.1 EC for both Week 1 and Week 2. To avoid this next run, I’m adjusting my feeding schedule: Week 1 (Seedlings): 1.1 EC Week 2 (Seedlings): 1.3 EC Week 3 (Start of Veg): 1.5 EC HAPPY GROWING! 🌱✌️

JGROWS21 General Status Roots are looking nice and established. I’ve introduced a second daily watering to keep up with the growth; I’m currently hand-watering once a day and using drip irrigation for the second feeding. Key Metrics & Adjustments Nutrients: EC In: 1.5 | EC Out: 1.6 ✅ Lighting: Increased DLI to 25–28 across the canopy. ✅ Maintenance: Performed a defoliation and a slight "lollipop." I removed the lower future bud sites that wouldn’t have reached the top of the canopy. I’m really focusing on eliminating lower "larfy" buds this run—I am officially over trimming larf! 😂 ✅ Observations Deficiencies: Seeing a few slight Cal-Mag deficiencies here and there. This is pretty common early on in coco, and they usually grow out of it, so I’m not too concerned yet. Plant Progress: Plants 4 and 5 are a bit behind the other three due to a slower start. Substrate Experiment: Plants 1–3: ~70/30 coco-to-perlite ratio. Plants 4–5: ~50/50 coco-to-perlite ratio (ran out of coco!). I’ll be monitoring these closely to see if the heavier perlite mix impacts the growth rate. HAPPY GROWING! 🌱✌️

JGROWS21 Key Metrics & Adjustments Nutrients: EC In: 1.7 | EC Out: 1.9–2.0 ✅ Environment: AC installed and running to manage heat spikes. ✅ Feeding Plan: Preparing for a heavy push next week—starting a 6-day run of PK 13/14 combined with 4ml/L of Canna Boost per litre to really stack those buds! 🚀 Maintenance Added bamboo stakes to the larger plants. I’m getting ahead of the game to ensure they have all the support they need as the bud weight starts to pack on over the coming weeks. ✅ Observations Plant Progress: The girls are looking hungry and responding well to the slight increase in EC. The move to 4x daily watering is keeping the substrate nicely saturated. Substrate Experiment: Monitoring that EC Out closely; seeing it stay around 1.9–2.0 is a great sign that they are feeding well without too much salt buildup before the PK hit. HAPPY GROWING! 🌱✌️

JGROWS21 Key Metrics & Adjustments Nutrients (Aggressive): EC In: 2.4 | EC Out: 2.4 (Matched) ✅ Nutrients (Moderate): EC In: 2.0 | EC Out: 2.0 ✅ Environment: RH dropped from 60% down to 50% to safeguard against mold as buds thicken. ✅ Feeding Plan: Day 5 of PK 13/14; pushing for 2 more days. Split reservoirs now active to tailor to specific plant hunger. 🚀 Maintenance Support: Tied down pots to brace for the upcoming weight; these girls are going to be hefty! Defoliation: Targeted defoliation completed to ensure light penetration reaches the stacking sites. ✅ Irrigation: Maintaining 4x daily feeds (5-hour intervals) to keep the coco saturated and prevent salt spikes. Observations N-Toxicity Recovery: Successfully cleared slight N-tox on 2 plants by flushing at 1.2–1.3 EC and pivoting to a 1.4 EC mix (heavy on CalMag/PK, low on A+B). They are now back up to 2.0 EC and looking healthy. Heavy Feeders: The other 3 plants were eating so fast the runoff EC was dropping! Bumped them to 2.4 EC to finally find their "sweet spot" where input matches output. Visuals: Trichomes are frosting over beautifully. Seeing purple hues creeping into the buds on 2 plants, while the others remain vibrant green. HAPPY GROWING! 🌱✌️
