Night Owl LSO/Organics !

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 05/01/26*** Decided to call today Day 1 now that both plants are above soil & finger leaves have began to grow! The Chem 'N' Kush has started out a little wonky although it's nothing I'm all too worried about, noticed there are no tips on it's finger leaves but the seedling is still a healthy shade of green with no signs of burn or any other issues, it should continue on just fine by the looks of things! Since these were new bags of LSO I've used I'm not gonna bother feeding them until they begin to flower, will just be using Monosilicic Acid & the microbes listed above during veg, plan is to just grow them straight up without topping in hopes of a better yield, I also want to take it easy on defoliation & LST this run as well, it seems to be what works best for me when growing autoflowers! I should be able to update this grow daily instead of every other day since I'm only journaling 2 plants instead of the usual 4, the number of photos I can post are limited during veg but I should be able to squeeze everything in w/o issue! Temps are a couple degrees lower than I would like but I should be within the sweet spot shortly as the weather begins to change, RH has remained in between 70 - 75% with the tent door closed, am off to a good start! ***UPDATE 05/02/26*** Gave each plant 250ml of bottled water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1 Some noticeable growth on the Chem 'N' Kush in between today & yesterday, it should continue to chug along just fine w/o any issues! Will get straws around their main stems for support once they are long enough, plan is to hit them with the clip fan nice & early so they can build some strength! Temps are still a bit low but RH is off to a good start today! ***UPDATE 05/03/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! They're not quite tall enough for the straws yet but soon, I will also lay down some cover crop & hay on that same day Temps are a bit low but RH has been really good! ***UPDATE 05/04/26*** Nothing really needed to be done today Temps/RH are doing pretty good! ***UPDATE 05/05/26*** Nothing really needs to be done today, just been making sure the humidifier is topped up at all times, plants might need water later on tonight or early tomorrow morning Temps have picked up a bit & RH has been good! ***UPDATE 05/06/26*** Plants did not need water this morning but will later on tonight Temps/RH have been good so far today! *Ended up giving each plant 250ml of bottled water mixed with increments listed above at a PH of 6.2 around 5pm today ***UPDATE 05/07/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! The Chem 'N' Kush seems to be moving at a faster pace when compared to the Instant Classik, quite a surprise as the Instant Classik had surfaced quicker than the Chem 'N'' Kush! A great 1st week, everything is off to a really good start with 0 issues! Temps/RH have been good so far today, currently sitting at 22.6c & 74% RH now that the tent door is closed

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 05/08/26*** So far so good! Everything seems to be right on track & doing well, seedlings remained low to the ground & did not stretch to where straws around their main stems would be viable, I'm going to wait for the 1st set of true leaves before I put a clip fan on them, will also lay down some cover crop/hay around the same time! Temps/RH are off to a good start today! Have been averaging 72% RH with the tent door closed ***UPDATE 05/09/26*** Nothing really needed to be done today, plants are going to need water in the next couple of hours, will just be 250ml of water mixed with increments listed above at a PH of 6.2, gonna clean the humidifier out once it is dry as well! Temps/RH have been really good so far today, 23c/72% RH with the tent door closed ***UPDATE 05/10/26*** Early morning update, plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Gonna lay down some cover crop + hay & bump up to 500ml per plant on the next one while focusing more towards the center of each pot, they are starting to grow quickly & I want to try to fill the space if I can, myco has been going nuts too which is great to see! My end goal water wise would be 1 to 2 L per pot before flower while in LSO, should be able to git er done! Humidifier will be empty in the next hour or so, will clean that back to brand new & continue to run it right up until flower, it's a tad aggressive in such a small space & I do not PH the RODI water I fill it with, assume this is why there are a couple of blemishes here & there on each plant, leaves are probably absorbing high alkaline from the humidifier, water tends to sit in around 8.4 before I do anything with it! Grabbed some new 5 gal buckets with lids so the water I store/aerate isn't exposed to sunlight of any kind, also cleaned the air pumps tubing & replaced air stones, set all of this up yesterday, I shouldn't have to worry about any type of contaminants or biofilm from here on out, the water I refill my humidifiers with is now sealed as well! Temps/RH are off to a good start today at an average of 22.4C/73% RH with the tent door closed ***UPDATE 05/11/26*** Nothing really needs to be done today, noticed there are only 2 full blades on one of the Chem 'N' Kush's 1st set of true leaves, the new set coming in seems to be fine, will keep an eye on it as things continue to progress! Topped up the humidifier & temps/RH have been good so far today! ***UPDATE 05/12/26*** Bumped the light intensity to where each plant is now receiving roughly 425 uMOL of light, I also have a clip fan set to medium on them now, cover crop + hay will soon follow, still waiting on the pots to dry out first! Temps were low to start today at 20.3c but RH has been up around 72% with the tent door closed which, temps should rise & RH should drop shortly due to the extra heat that will now come off the lights, ballast will update todays temp/RH later on this afternoon once everything has evened out, left photo out for the day to keep this diary uniform during veg! ***UPDATE 05/13/26*** Gave each plant roughly 750ml of water mixed with increments listed above at a PH of 6.1, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water, also layed down some cover crop + hay & turned the clip fan up to 100% Temps/RH have been good so far today! ***UPDATE 05/14/26*** Plants responded ok to yesterdays watering, 750ml might have been a tad bit too much for them at this current stage but I still want to bump them up to 1L per plant starting tomorrow so I can start running that every other day, the cover crop I layed down yesterday usually starts rooting in 3 to 5 days time & I noticed it really helps mediate everything water wise once established, the goal for now is to make sure that comes through properly without drowning my cannabis plants, high chance they will show signs of overwatering during the start of week 3 veg Temps/RH have been good so far today!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 05/15/26*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water, tried to focus a majority of the water around the outer perimeter of each plant in hopes roots start to grow outwards & I also did this so the freshly planted cover crop remains saturated, it should also give the plants themselves some time to adjust to the sudden bump water wise! Everything is looking pretty good so far as I start week 3 veg! Plants have remained short/bushy for now but should see some explosive growth throughout the week, both plants are a very healthy shade of green with no signs of burn whatsoever! Temps/RH are off to a very good start today! ***UPDATE 05/16/26*** Plants responded decently to yesterdays watering, both are slightly drooped & new growth on the Instant Classik is starting to show a bit of clawing, nothing major & they should adjust accordingly very soon! Some explosive growth in the last 24hrs, both plants are most definitely taking off this week! Very happy with this although I can already tell I'm going to have issues with the cover crop again this time around, perimeter of the pots around each plant have already dried out completely while the centers of each pot have remained saturated, I focused the majority of yesterdays watering around the perimeter & I'm considering whether or not I should bump up to 1.5L per plant on tomorrows watering, I could also raise the clip fan for now instead so it isn't directly on the plants, this should stop the pots from drying out as quickly, will see how things are looking tomorrow morning! Temps/RH have been really good so far today & should remain stable throughout the rest of the day! ***UPDATE 05/17/26*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.1, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO &dechlorinated tap water, focused roughly 70% of the water around the perimeter of each plant so the seeds for my cover crop remain saturated, also raised the clip fan up some so it's not directly on the pots in hopes they won't dry back as quickly around the edges Both plants have begun to show sex & I came across some bracts/white pistils last night while searching through the plants, a tad bit early I feel & there is a chance overwatering may be the culprit, possibility these ones could be flowering early based off their genetics but I haven't been able to find any solid information on that or comparative grows where the plants are at this current stage of growth, each plant is rather bushy & both plants currently stand at 4" per piece which is very short imo for day 17, thinking it could be the Bubba Kush within the lineage if it's not an issue on my end if the Bubba has remained dominant within the cross, Bubba Kush is known to stay very short/bushy but at 4" per plant on Day 17 am not quite sure where this is gonna go, will just have to wait & see what they do... Removed larger fan leaves from each plant so lower branches are able to receive some light Temps have been higher than I would like today up around 27c, bit of a heatwave over the next couple of days so I decided to clean my air conditioner back to brand new in hopes I can lower the temps in my room a couple of degrees, RH has been good throughout the day regardless of temps! ***UPDATE 05/18/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering & seem to be handling 1L per plant quite nicely at this current stage! Hay has started to rise as cover crop begins to form! Should see a bunch pop up in the next couple days! The heatwave continues & was surprised I have been able to remain within the sweet spot temp wise, RH is a pinch higher than I would like but should be ok for now! * removed pictures of pistils beginning to form from yesterday in order to keep the diary uniform, some excellent progress growth wise in between today & yesterday, defoliation has not phased either plant! 1st set of true fan leaves I left on the Instant Classik would have been end to end in a 5 gal fabric pot if the plant had surfaced directly in the center of the pot, slightly over, beastly width! ***UPDATE 05/19/26*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at at a PH of 6.2, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water Plants are really starting to pick up the pace & cover crop is starting to come in aggressively, Hay was bubbled right out prior to todays watering! Double checked PAR & the tallest plant is currently sitting at 460 uMOL Temps have been pretty good today but RH has been high, turned the humidifier down shortly after taking pictures ***UPDATE 05/20/26*** Plants responded fairly well to yesterdays watering & cover crop is starting to go nuts, very noticeable spurts of growth from day to day at this point! Heatwave has ended & temps have been below 23c for most of the day so far today, the pots aren't drying out as quickly as a result, I should be within the sweet spot soon, gonna take 12 to 24hrs to thaw out my portable AC Unit for tomorrow, I run it 24/7 & it hasn't been blowing air out of the left side for quite some time, nowhere near as efficient as it once was, read the evaporator coils have more than likely froze over which makes sense, we have an identical unit it the other room that doesn't get used nearly as much, it blows much harder on the same settings but the air isn't as cold, some off time in here for now should do the trick, will also help me balance temps more efficiently during those hotter days! The plants in my 2x4 that I have in the same room are nearing the end of flower, the difference in light schedule between the two setups should allow me to blast cold air towards the 2x4 for colder night temps during their last days while maintaining proper temps in the 2x2, the way my room is set up really helps with this, I got like a small narrow hallway in between the back of my desk & the dresser that leads to the 2x4 in the closet & I can fire cold air directly at the 2x4! The hallway is the exact width of the AC unit & the desk + dresser are roughly 8" taller as well, unintentional yet highly optimal arrangement! Spotted some variegation towards the top of the Instant Classic after removing another fresh set of fan leaves so the lower branches can receive more light! A two toned fan leaf & what looks to be an entirely yellow set of leaves on a lateral branch directly below it on the same side! Cool mutation & not overly worried about this, the rest of the plant is a nice healthy shade of green & I'm not able to spot any signs of PH or nutrient burn anywhere within the plant, an even & entire yellow on like 4/7 blades at the very top! ***UPDATE 05/21/26*** Gave each plant roughly 800ml of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water with a splash of bottled water afterwards to bring the PH up some after missing my my initial mark Temps have been a bit low throughout the day today but have evened them out this afternoon, RH has been good but I will be dropping it shortly for flower!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 05/22/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Removed a few of the larger fan leaves towards the top of the Chem 'N' Kush so the lower branches can receive more light, also removed it's 1st set of true leaves towards the bottom which should make it easier to water! Nothing needed to be removed from the Instant Classik, it's structure is a bit different compared to the Chem 'N' Kush, taller portions of the plant aren't shading any of the lower branches which is good although I will eventually remove it's 1st set of true fan leaves as well so I don't have to constantly lift or work around them when using the garden sprayer xD Everything seems to be right on track as I start Week 1 Flower! Both plants threw pistils somewhat early around Day 16/17 while they were still quite small but I have seen some explosive growth throughout Week 3 Veg from there, I compared these plants side by side with a grow of times past that did really well & would say they are a similar size to what my Destroyer F3 & GMO 8 were right around this time, (minus some height because of this specific lineage), they're actually moving a tad bit slower flower wise when compared to the other grow which is a relief! Not seeing any clusters of hairs at the tops of the plants just yet, tops on all 4 plants already had bud forming on Day 22 when I look back on the older grow, it's looking like these should yield decently by the time it's all said & done, feed wise am gonna hold off on nutrients until I see clusters of pistils at the top of the plants, will be using nutrients/increments listed above when the time comes, increments will remain the same throughout the entirety of the grow aside from potassium which will get bumped to 2ml/L for the remainder of the grow next week! Temps/RH have been good so far today, lowered RH with 50% - 55% being my target range for humidity this week! ***UPDATE 05/23/26*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2 that was closer to 6.3, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water The Chem 'N' Kush responded well to yesterdays defoliation, it's showing no signs of slowing down! Removed the Instant Classiks 1st set of true fan leaves so it is easier to water the plant with the garden sprayer! Temps have been good today but RH was high up into the early afternoon, now have the humidifier set to retain 50% - 55% RH ***UPDATE 05/24/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Thinking I will hold off on feed right up until this coming Saturday so I can lock them in for a singular feed each weekend instead of setting it on a random day half way through the week! Spotting noticeable growth daily at this current stage! The Chem 'N' Kush has basically taken up the entire circumference of it's 5 gal pot, a huge difference in overall vigor in less than 24hrs! They both seem to be developing flower slower than any auto I've ran in the past, hoping this makes for some bigger plants by the time the stretch has finished! Temps/RH have been pretty good today! gonna need the dehumidifier soon, 54% RH w/o a humidifier right now! ***UPDATE 05/25/26*** Gave each plant 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2 Decided upon that 1st feed today instead of waiting until Saturday, plants will be fed once a week every Monday throughout the entirety of flower! Buds have started to form towards the top of the plant so today made sense, increments shall remain the same throughout the grow aside from potassium which will get bumped to 2ml/L next week! Noticed some burnt tips in throughout the Chem 'N' Kush, there is some water trapped up in the lower portion of the pot that I think roots are just now touching, this would be PH burn, hoping it doesn't result in anything all too severe, the Instant Classik went through it's entire Liter in roughly 36 hours time & is beginning to drink heavily, both plants were droopy this morning while in need of water & perked right up a couple hours after todays feed, in this case I could probably get away with upping the amount of water I'm giving each plant next watering in attempts to even out what's already in there, will see how things are looking when the time comes to ensure I don't make a bad decision! Temps/RH were both a little high today at 27c/58% right up until the early evening, managed to even everything out for now & dehumidifier will get set up later on tonight before the light shuts off! ***UPDATE 05/26/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! Temps/RH were pretty good today ***UPDATE 05/27/26*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water A somewhat heavy defoliation this morning & I did end up removing the two toned leaf at the top of the Instant Classik so lower branches could receive more light, really didn't want too but it's what had to be done xD Double checked PAR & the tallest plant was sitting around 570 uMOL, boosted the Chem 'N' Kush to create more of an even canopy & dimmed the light to where each plant is now receiving roughly 500 uMOL of light, I want to remain around 500- 530 for now will bump them to 600 after the stretch! Started learning more about root exudates & hormonal shifts during transitional periods of growth today, the Black Swallow KIS Premium Living Soil I have used is known to be a hotter mix, since I've started using it, I noticed my autoflowering plants tend to remain in pristine condition right up until early flower prior to seeing any burnt leaf tips or edges, there is a hormonal shift within the plants themselves when they begin to flower & the roots secrete a larger amount of exudates out into the rhizosphere, this results in a higher uptake of nutrients which can lead to nutrient burn during the transitional period of veg to flower if the soil is rich, the exudates more less act as a signal in regards to microbes who help feed the plant, Monosilicic Acid can alter nutrient uptake as well, I will play around with it on my next grow, think it would make sense to cut microbes/monosilicic acid out of my watering schedule around day 16 to help prevent burnt leaf tips as the plant transitions from veg to flower, I have yet to run into any problems with photoperiods during the transitional phase as they veg a lot longer & can handle the KIS mix by the time it's ready to flower, it should work :P Temps/RH were pretty good throughout the day today at an average of 25.3c/52%, left photo out to keep the diary uniform! ***UPDATE 05/28/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Temps/RH were really good throughout the day today!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 05/29/26*** Gave each plant 1L of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water Things are looking pretty good at the start of week 2 flower! Plants are a decent size & relatively happy aside from some burnt leaf tips + clawing on the Instant Classik, both seem to be handling 1L of water each every other day quite well, I could probably bump the Instant Classik up to 1.5L 2L if I wanted too as 1L bis barely carrying the plant from A to B as is, will see how things are looking in a couple of days! Temps/RH have been pretty good throughout the ay today! ***UPDATE 05/30/26*** Plants responded just ok to yesterdays watering, it's a tough call if they're overwatered or underwatered currently, both plants looked happy + they were praying throughout the entire day yesterday after I watered them but there is still water trapped up at the bottom of the pots from past waterings they may have finally reached although in my experience that is usually accompanied by some PH burn, pots don't feel incredibly heavy, still some clawing & both remained slightly drooped throughout most of the day today, top of the soil is fairly dry towards the center of the plants roughly 2 knuckles deep, want to feed them again on Monday so tomorrows watering will be very light at 300-500ml per plant just to keep them happy for the day, Mondays feed will be 1L per plant & it could be the wrong call but I will bump them up to 1.5L per plant on the next plain watering after feed to see how they do, everything else is looking great aside from my watering schedule at the moment! Temps/RH have been really good throughout the day today ***UPDATE 05/31/26*** Gave each plant 500ml of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2 to get them through the day, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water Was able to decipher that the plants have been underwatered vs overwatered which is good! It only took a couple of hours after todays watering for them to spring right back up, both are happy/healthy! Temps/RH are off to a great start today! ***UPDATE 06/01/26*** Gave each plant 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2 The 500ml from yesterday worked out great & turned out to be the perfect amount to get them from A to B for todays feed, will repeat this process in the coming weeks, feed will always be once a week on Monday morning! Temps/RH have been good throughout the day today! ***UPDATE 06/02/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! Temps/RH have been really good so far today! ***UPDATE 06/03/26*** Gave each plant 1.5L of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.1, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water Took pictures a couple hours after watering & the plants seem happier than ever! Will continue on with 1.5L per plant & may try to bump them up to 2L per plant after the next watering! Double checked PAR & the tallest plant is currently receiving 550 uMOL of light where the Chem 'N' Kush is right around 510 uMOL, might try & boost the Chem 'N' Kush ever so slightly with a thin book if I can find one for that extra 40 uMOL if it doesn't manage to catch up by the end of the stretch, buds on the Instant Classik are currently much bigger & both plants are moving at a very similar pace! Temps have been good so far today at an average of 24.9c, RH has averaged out around 43%, left the photo out today because I took PAR & want to try & keep the diary uniform, will start taking bud shots at the start of week 3! ***UPDATE 06/04/26*** Plants responded extremely well to yesterdays watering! It's looking like 1.5L per plant was the correct move, will see what the soil is looking like tomorrow morning & make a decision as to whether I should bump right up to 2L per plant or not! Temps are a bit low to start today which is good, we're in for a hot one later on this afternoon! RH is higher than I would like but should drop as temps rise!

connormcleod47 ***UPDATE 06/05/26*** Gave each plant 1.5L of water mixed with 0.2ml/L Armadillo Armour, 1ml/L Monkey Juice & 1ml/L Fish Sh!t at a PH of 6.2, water was a 50/50 mix of aerated RO & dechlorinated tap water Boosted each plant with different sized boxes in attempts to create a more even canopy, double checked PAR & the Chem 'N' Kush is sitting around 550 uMOL where the Instant Classik is up around 580 uMOL, will continue to monitor light intensity daily & adjust accordingly, 610 uMOL while 20/4 is the absolute highest I would like to go, anything higher & the plants could potentially bleach! Started taking budshots for week 3 & will continue on with this daily right up until harvest, hoping to see some more trichomes towards the end of the week, everything is looking great so far! Temps/RH are off to a great start today as well! ***UPDATE 06/06/26*** Plants responded well to yesterdays watering! Removed the humidifier from the 2x2 & moved it over to my 2x4 to help my other plants with RH as they dry, just kind of had it sitting in the 2x2 not doing anything once these ones started to flower! Temps are off to a good start today, raining outside so RH has been really high in the house, should drop down to about 50% later today hopefully! ***UPDATE 06/07/26*** Gave each plant 500ml of plain bottled water at a PH of 6.3 just to keep them happy for now prior to tomorrows feed! Checked PAR again today & the tallest plant was sitting up around 640 uMOL this morning which isn't good! Up from 580 in roughly 48hrs time, did forget to check yesterday as I was more focused on dialing in temps/RH for the plants that are drying in the 2x4, I did not think they were continuing to stretch that quickly, dialed the light back to 580 uMOL & will continue to check/adjust daily in order to keep them within the sweet spot! Temps have been good so far today but RH has been really high, now have 2 small dehumidifiers on the go in hopes I can drop RH back down to 45% - 50%, everything should be back to normal in an hour or so! ***UPDATE 06/08/26*** Gave each plant 1L of aerated RO mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH that was closer to 6.3, I also went through with a heavy defoliation shortly after taking pictures today so lower bud sites can receive more light! Double checked PAR & the tallest plant has remained at 580 uMOL which is good, temps/RH are also back to normal! ***UPDATE 06/09/26*** Plants responded extremely well to yesterdays feed & defoliation, both are praying quite heavily, they seem to love the additional nutrients at this current stage of growth! Checked PAR this morning & I'm still at 580 uMOL, will double check later on this afternoon to ensure I remain within the sweet spot! Have a feeling the Instant Classik is gonna be a great yield! Buds are much larger than the Chem 'N' Kush, even the lower/middle buds are a lot bigger than what I usually see around this time, that would be autoflowers & photoperiods synthetic or organic as well! Some branches have even thrown 3 buds per node instead of two although I want to keep an eye on these areas as time progress because there is little to no spacing between them, they are so close together it's hard to differentiate one from the other & they just kind of look like 1 really wide bud wrapped around the branch which I'm thinking could eventually lead towards bud rot, there are other sections of the plant where the lower buds have stretched creating great spacing which is good, shall continue to monitor & in a worst case scenario may remove 1 of 3 from each cluster of bud so there is spacing between 2! Temps have been good to start today but RH is back up there around 58%, still drying other plants in the 2x4 & want to avoid the dehumidifier for now, plan is to drop RH as soon as my other tent has finished drying, this should still be ok for now!
