2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol.
I added the following Nutes:
Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil
CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil
FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil
EPSOM- 1 big pinch
2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water.
2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled.
2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields..
2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water,
Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base.
I added 36 Gallons
I added the following Nutes:
Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil
FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil
FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil
FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water,
2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

3/2 I gave my plant its first feeding. Gave it about half a gallon of water with a PPM of 500. I also thought about topping my plant but am not really sure where. I am not sure what one is the top spot as this is my first time every growing. I also finally received my ACInfinity CLOUDFORGE T3. This has allowed me to get my Humidity levels more under control. I was okay before because of the dome but for the last week or so I have not had a domain and my humidity has not really be regulated.
3/2 A few hours later I said fuck it and just cut the plant where I thought the top was. I cut off a few lower fan leaves. Not sure If its too early to do it or not.
3/3 Finally got my ventilation setup. I am not longer venting into the room my tent is in. I now have the exhaust being vented outside. This has allowed for better temps in tent. I am not longer being baked alive. I have also noticed a lot more stability with my temps/humidity now. Temps are sitting at 78-80ish and my humidity is sitting around 60 percent.
3/5 I started LST as my gardening ties arrived this day as well.
3/6 Today I gave just shy of 1 gallon of RO/DI water with a pinch of Epsom salt. I was waiting off as I forgot to added to my first feed on the the second. After the watering I also saw my rapid rooter exposed as the soil seemed low. I think I didn't fill the pot enough. I also added some extra soil to top up the pot and make sure the rapid rooter was buried. I also collected my run off and checked its PH and PPM.
PH was 6.2 and PPM was 863. Plant also seems unhappy this morning.

Blue Dream'Matic growing strong. Defoliated her this week and she bushed right back out again in a couple of days. Lightly fed some Espoma Organic Grow this week.
She seems to be in a friendly competition with the Auto Lemon, they have been battling back and forth to see who's taller. Fight all you want girls, I'll be the winner in the end. 👍

Growing well, so far. The added silica shows its effect - the stem is absolutely massive and solid, don't think LST is an option. I want to do either Topping or FIMing, but am not sure yet, which one. The decision will be shown in the pictures that I'll add, once the procedure is done.
UPDATE: I decided to top Banana Kush Auto, as seen in the added photos and video.

The plants have taken to their Earthboxes, especially #1 with the BuildASoil Light. The Earthbox with my Coots mix was the runt, plus I damaged the roots during transplant so it has an uphill battle, but I wouldn't count it out yet. It was looking droopy and with slight discoloration, but after a drench of Kashi Blend Tea (1/3 cup Kashi Blend, 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses in 1 gallon of water for 24 hours) it perked right up.
As for preventative pest management, I've kept doing foliar applications every 4 days of EM-FPE -> EM-1, next week I will incorporate the just-finished EM-5. I made a JADAM wetting agent (JWA) but I have realized even local bottled water is too mineral-heavy for it, so I will need to find a source of distilled water if I want to use it in my foliar regime.
Next week I will begin doing LST to get some more tops going. At some point I plan to add a trellis, I have been busy with work but I will find the time to set up something, preferably a trellis that can move with the Earthbox to facilitate maintenance and not have them fixed in place for the entire training and flowering cycles.

😻 We're documenting a day early because we'll be gone for a weekend camping trip...The plants are progressing beautifully and perpetually praying, they're absolutely loving this new MarsHydro! We decided to move the light from 24" to 30" to try widening the nodes a little before dropping back to 24", we're in unamended Promix so we typically start thinking about feed this week but being autos we're going to take it slow and wait on color ques before making that move (probably next week for sure)...thanks for reading and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨

😺 We gave all plants a very, very light feeding (<3ml/gal) to see how they tolerate it, its super early but a few were already beginning to wash out ..We started bending plants today, low stress only for these girl and everything looks great so far! This MarsHydro is intense, the node spacing is extremely tight on all plants and growth has been really steady (especially these last few days), we couldn't be happier! Thanks for reading and love all around growmies!! 😻

First day of my first Grow Diary, friend gave me these so I thought I would see what they got, 4 x washing machine and 2 x Jaffa Cake, I will be scrogging, topping and performing some LST to open them up.
Transplanted cuttings straight into the 12lt pots, I used the white shark powder around the root area during transplant.
Food Making Notes:
1. Canna A, Canna B, Startbooster
2. Measured E.C at 1.2
3. pH'd from 6.5 down to 5.8
4. Added White Shark (just a sprinkle)
Feeding was done primarily around the root zone, after a few days I will begin to saturate the whole medium.
Update (+3 days):
- Washing Machine have really settled in and has had some great growth, I have started doing LST and topping at the 4th node, video and pictures added.
- Jaffa Cake not doing so well at the moment, they seem to have transplant shock, I am taking it easy for the moment, spraying them with a Super Thrive foliar spray, within the next feed I am planning to reduce the E.C to 1.0 and add super thrive to the food, along side the start booster and great shark.
Update (+6 days)
- Washing machine growing really well, got two growing perfectly and two of growing three leaves and many branches.
- Jaffa Cake is now recovering from it's transplant shock, made a dome for them to create a high humidity environment while rooting in the pot, dome was sprayed with a mix of water and super thrive, I also made up a different batch of food with 50% of the nutrients, E.C around 1.0 (500pm).

We are in week 5 and all the ladies are doing well. I try to keep the EC between 2.5 and 3.0 and it seems the PPFD of around 450 mol makes them feel well 🌱 I’ll start with some LST soon. 🧙♂️🌱

As usual plain sailing the autopots are such a bonus when it's 28c indoors. This week they have had pH water and Iguana juice Bio. Also they have had two times KNF foliar feed.

Timelapse Days 21-34: Memory card filled up and I lost days 35 and part of 36.
Day 36: No photograph. No longer centered under the light. I need more lighting.
Day 37: plant taking to the training well. Almost time for another tent peg.
Day 38: Still growing.
Day 39: Worried this is mold. Added a gallon of water with nutrients increasing the nutrients to mid-vegetation. Overall I think the plant looks pretty healthy.
Day 40: Turned the carbon filter on to promote air exchange.
Day 41: Continued training.
Day 41: Rushing the exhaust fan has reduced the humidity. Going to have to keep an eye on that.

The Fruits Baby are starting to come in nicely I have the lights at 500 watts going to wait for them to get Juicy and bulk up the lights and the feed intake!! Excited for the weeks to come. On a side note I am doing this run to see what really works best I know I will get the hydro dialed in and start doing the magic it always does, I am just super surprised the living soil is like a slow and steady and just always steady getting bigger and bigger it was a little slower but in flower its doing great and exploding.
