Hi Everyone!! This is my first grow in this new stealth setup. I've done a few through out the years, never with any detailed notes. This time it's going to be ALL of the notes. For those interested I germinated 2 seeds, both cracked but I accidentally broke the tap root during some rearranging. Seed to Veg was about 3 weeks. Moved to Veg 1st day of week 4. Setup: SF-2000 manually adjusted to 120w. 12 Gal Storage Tote. 6 inch netpot. 4 inch carbon filter. 2 4inch airstones to airpump Grow Journal Notes: Week 01 Sunday Temps creep into 88*F but fans are cooling the plant indirectly. Plant appears healthy, and has shows continued growth. 3rd set of leaves aren't completely open yet but are starting to flatten and spread. Adjusted PH from 6.25 down to 5.9. Monday Plant has purple stalks PPM climbed to 280 and pH to 6.2. Added PH balanced water and let rest an hour, res now at 250 ppm and adjusted to PH 5.9. Tuesday By morning res was 255 ppm and 6.0 PH. Brought PH down to 5.8. New stem growth is green, plant appears healthy. Already purple stem are remaining purple and of the of the lower leaves appear faintly spotty. Wednesday Res 266 ppm 5.9 PH, no adjustments. Plant is drinking more water than nutes, thin roots just starting to poke from bottom of net pot. New growth still green and no purpling at all. Faintly spotted leaves showing fresh green growth at nodes. Started training, bent hole plant over to expose the two lower nodes. Should hopefully result in 5 tops. Thursday Nodes are showing increased growth. Accidentally broke off a leaf from top node. Res was 260ppm 5.98ph, plant is starting to feed on nutes. Adjusted ph to 5.8. More root growth present. Added Cal-Mag and Silica up to 280ppm 5.8ph. Friday More great growth from nodes seems like LST was started a little late as main node has already started grow nodes that may result in more colas than intended or is recommended for such a fast autoflower. Water at 281 ppm, adjusted ph from 5.99 to 5.78. Plant seems to be feeding on nutes and water at equal rate. Will try to maintain 250-300 ppm for now. Saturday Node growth is green, some lower leaves are still spotted. Will let the plant auto-prune leaves. Fed more Cal-Mag. Res is 320 ppm 5.8ph. More roots are spreading out of net pot. (I've since realized the issue was the PH was not suited for calcium uptake, eventually I start upping it to 6.2)

This week the plant gets swapped to bloom nutes but no until the end of the week so the next week will reflect that set of nutrients. Sunday Res testing at 320ppm, 5.8 PH. Growth is looking great, with more tops forming near top node as plant is forced down. All new growth is deep green. The lower leaves are still spotted but have not progress nearly as much as they have been recently. Adjusted PH to 6.0 to help with calcium uptake. Monday Res ppm 320, 6.1 PH. Plants new growth is healthy. LST'd top node so newer lower nodes can catch up for a day or two. Plant is starting to smell. Will let it the plant correct itself, then perform res change by the end of the week, to swap to bloom. Tuesday Res: 320ppm 6.1 PH. Lower nodes have filled in more, top node has mostly corrected itself. Calcium deficiency has slowed greatly but still present want to give another day or two of recovery from lst then will do the res change. Removed lowest leaves. Wednesday Res: 320ppm 6.1 PH Plant growth is excellent. Largest leaf is slowly showing more calcium deficiency. Flushed and swapped to bloom, orca, silica, cal-mag. 450 ppm 6.2. moved leaves around and rearranged so lower nodes get more light. Thursday Res: 420 6.3 adjusted to 6.2. Plant and root growth are looking great. Friday Res: 420ppm 6.18 ph, adjusted to 6.25. Plant and roots are blowing up with some stretching beginning. Smell is intensifying but still no pistils, yet. Saturday Res: 470ppm 6.3 ph. She's filling out really well. Daily photos show just how quick everything happens.

Sunday Res: 470 ppm 6.1 ph, adjusted to 500@6.25. Future PH up adjustments will be with water only. Plant and root growth still excellent. There are 5 nice main tops and few smaller ones. Adjusted leaves so tops are getting better light. Temps are still peaking at 90, ordered thermoelectric cooler to see it can bring overall temps down about 5 degrees at least. If not, will use as a water chiller instead. Monday Res: 470 ppm 6.19 ph. Added water down 400 ppm then added cal-mag back up to 450 ppm @ 6.29 ph. FIXED temp probe placement. Previously had in direct light so the probe itself was being heated up. Placed just under canopy and temps peak around 82 with LEDs turned up to the full 200W. Rearranged leaves for tops to receive better light. Tuesday Res was 420 6.0 ph, fed bloom, cal mag and silica back up to 560 ppm 6.2ph, EC1.1. Rearranged for lower nodes to get better light. Wednesday PH had dropped to 6.1 over night and EC 1.0. Plant is absorbing more nutes than water but not by too much. Increased EC 1.2 of nutes @ 6.3 ph. Thursday PH and EC dropped again overnight. Increase to 1.5 EC 6.3 PH. Defoliated bottom few inches for better air flow. Friday PH and EC dropped again overnight. Increased to 1.6 EC 6.2 PH. Defoliated larger fan leaves blocking lower tops. Saturday EC increased slightly and ph dropped slightly Added water to bring EC back down to 1.5, PH went form 6.0 to 6.2.

Sunday PH was low, but did not adjust, waited a few hours and it had leveled off. Monday PH was 6.4 with EC 1.4. Added water and nutes to bring everything back to 1.5EC w/ 6.2 PH. Tuesday Do not want to mess with ph too much so im let the plant be to see how things go. Defoliated most of the fans leaves and tiny colas from the 3rd node down on each cola. There are smaller nodes forming near the top of the plant that I will leave alone for now. Wednesday Plant bounced back from defoliation overnight. PH tested at 5.9, EC 1.4. Used RO water and nutes throughout the day to slowly bring PH 6.2 and EC 1.25. Thursday Plants seem healthy with lots of tops. Morning EC was still about 1.2 and PH went to 6.25. Main concern is there are no calyx's forming yet, let alone pistils. Comparing to other grows plants is way behind. May reduce light schedule to 14hrs see if it starts things up. Friday PH tested at 6.25, EC 1.2. Still no calyx formation. Reduced light schedule to 14 hrs. Turned the light off mid day to light stress the plant a little bit. Saturday PH tested at 6.45, EC 1.2. Added water and nutes and left alone for a bit. Eventually went back down to 6.1. Defoliated again.

***Turns out the PH tester I was using was not properly calibrated any longer so all of the number are off. This is what happens when you buy cheap shit. New tester on the way.*** Sunday PH 6.1 EC 1.3. No major changes. Monday PH 6.4 EC 1.1, res was low, nutes and water added to 6.25 1.3. Calyxes appear to be forming on some node sites, too soon to tell. Tuesday PH 6 EC 1.3. Wednesday PH 6 EC 1.3 Thursday PH 5.8 EC 1.2 PISTILS!! They've started popping up near the top of the plant on several nodes. Fed/Refilled Res to 5.9 PH, 1.5 EC. Friday PH 6 EC 1.5. Saturday PH 6.25 EC 1.6 adjusted down to PH 6.1 EC 1.4. Pistil formation still going well.

Sunday Ph tester is not working properly. Rage smashed it into a million pieces and ordered an $80 tester. No more cheap stuff. Monday Used old liquid ph solution testing to bring res to neutral as it was waay too low. Will monitor plant for shock as it was getting ph 5.5 and below according to the solution test and is suddenly now at about 6.0 Tuesday Plant does not look stressed from the PH swing. So far so good. Wednesday New tester arrived PH 6.0 EC1.4. Plant looks healthy no major issues other than some leaves were getting purple stems when the first tester was found to be broken. Thursday PH 6.0 EC 1.5. Plant is getting hairier. Friday Res change. PH 5.9 EC 1.4. More pistils developing. Saturday PH 6.1 EC 1.2, adjusted to 1.4. Defoliated lower growth. Not a lot as I do not want to stress it out too much.

Sunday PH 5.9 EC 1.2 adjusted EC to 1.5 PH 5.9 Monday PH 5.5 EC 1.3 adjusted to EC 1.4 PH 6.1 Tuesday PH 6.1 EC 1.3. Plant is getting hairy and smellier. Wednesday PH 6.2 CH 1.2. Added water and nutes to PH 6.0 and EC 1.7 as plant is feeding heavily now. Thursday PH 5.9 EC 1.5. Friday PH 5.9 EC 1.5. Defoliated bottom 10% of plant. Saturday PH 5.8 EC 1.5 but slightly higher than yesterday, added some RO water. Plant is looking great.
