#3 is clearly impacted by the early damage. Going to chug along and see how it goes. If it doesn't go into the bloom box, i can keep #2 from the GPFV redux crop. Bases are covered to utilize space and throw something out if needed.
The rest are incredibly consistent with each other. It is difficult to determine which has been above ground longer at this point. Some blemishes on leaves, but i expect those to wrok themselves out. Some ripples in single-bladed serrated leaves. Overall, they are very happy and healthy plants. The new substrate and better watering habits have meed vegetative phase like clockwork for vigorous growth. Expect the from-scratch mix to be just as fruitful.
Smooth sailing ahead for my garden. It's nice to have some confidence after a rough 6-9 months. Excluding the recent mold issue, the changes i've made have had significantly positive impacts. Routines are rounding into shape given new variables.
Short-term intended changes:
I might start making a ~100x stock solution of part A+epsom and part B -- or whatever carrying capacity of my tap water allows. This would greatly reduce weekly manual labor and only requires a bit of rudimentary algebra.
Long-term changes needed:
Push-button or automated watering setup. With a stock liquid of each nute, mixing a 20-50gallon tank wouldn't be so difficult. No impact drill needed to stir, for example. even the drainage could be pumped out instead of dumped.
edit: For some reason it is listing Advanced Nutrients. I've never used this product. I don't buy products with cartoons on the labels.
