Hey LA, things are going well, just getting stuff together for my trip, leaving on Thursday. today will be my day to get plants all in order, will have update later on today. Well assuming get the Pro Mix I ordered, but supposed to come today. Need to plant 3 clones in small pots before I leave so not need to be watered every other day.
Happy Tokerday Crawdad

Thanks Chronic, nope it a vacation, g/f won a trip to Singapore and I never been to Asia so should be cool. As long as my plants and/or cats do not die when we gone. I am such a control freak hate leaving my stuff to other people.

Just got new camera for trip, a Nikon CoolPixL820, was about $200. It has custom white blance so i can now take pics under LED,proper update tomorrow most likely....
funny thing is with the white balance pics I am picking up some more nute deficiencies, think i need to add epsom salts to their next watering.
Also seeing some more of the burned leaves like under the TopLED. My current thinking is that my soil mix was hot, and the airpots help to aerate it making it more hot. Plus the 15 gallon air pots the plants under the top LED have so much soil mass it makes it even hotter on the poor plant roots. Next plants get planted in straight non juiced soil. either FF Happy Frog or Promix(if gets here tomorrow, for some reason grow store having hell of time getting it in)

This is my last update before my trip to Singapore, will be gone till the 15th.
Transplanted all the clones/mothers into big pots and really soaked them should not need water whole time I gone. The 3 kinda of yellow weaker looking plants just got transplanted and fed, I am hoping look good by time i get back..
Choco Chunk:
Double Berry:
Super Cheese:
Hawaiian snow:
Brainstorm
The 3 flowering plants under DS200, as said yesterday seeing a MG deficiency and general yellowness, so they got fed/watered today with some nutes and epsom salt. Starting to see the beginnings of same symptons the other 4 plants under Top LED where showing, just not as bad/early. Like I said before, I am thinking a soil issue.
This is flower day 24.
Brainstorm:
Hawaiian snow:
Super cheese:
And finally the four plants under Top LED, these are bad, I am now thinking i be lucky if get anything smokable at all. More then likely all 4 be chopped when get back....

I am going to spend a lot of time on long plane ride contemplating my next moves, I need to find my right soil mix so i can sprout some seeds I am sitting on. Got to go with what works.

That is pretty insightful that the air pots make the soil more hot. I had not thought about that, but it makes perfect sense!

I hope so too! We'll be waiting for an update!
When could we be expecting you back Craw?

I leave tomorrow morning at 5:30 am singapore time, it sucks, then arrive in Portland at 7:30 am Saturday Portland time. 20 hours of travel time, not looking forward to it. At least I have the extra legroom economy seat on longer flight from Tokyo to Portland.
So probably update Saturday night, if I am up to it. Really want to see how much the healthy plants have grown, hopefully still healthy. The sick ones are going to get chopped.

May you open your grow to the most pleasant of scents, and the deepest of greens!
Have a good flight.

Thanks for all the kind words!
Got back from Singapore yesterday, flights sucked, but home now. Singapore is a pretty cool place except for the pot laws, DO NOT ever try and bring weed or get weed there, I did not. Penalties are insane. Even death for trafficking. If anyone interested in pics let me know and I can make off-topic thread.
Next time i am going to go out of town will have to find better plant sitter, he let some under the ds200 dry out, but think be ok, picture update on them later, light is off right now.
Chopped the 4 ladies under the Top LED, so that disaster is over. May get 1/2 to 1 OZ tops, i just took the little tops, they where not big, but dam the smell was REAL strong. Will see how they smoke after dry. The plants where not worthy of pics. They matured fast too, probably cause stressed like crazy. Still not 100% sure on cause of failure, but like I said before think it the soil mix. My other thought might be my water, just using tap water. I do let it sit out for 24 hrs plus, but from my research some towns/city water can still be bad. So I ordered this just now, going to use for drinking water and plants. Hopefully easy to hook up under kitchen sink.

So the good news....
The 5 mothers/clones under the DS100 went nuts in a good way while I was gone, these are how plants are supposed to grow...
I pulled each out, took 2 cutting off each, picked off some of low growth....
Super Cheese:
Hawaiian Snow:
Double Berry:

Brainstorm:
The Double Berry and Choco Chunk are about 2 weeks older then the other 3.
I moved them all into tent with Top LED, after cleaning out and spraying down with alcohol then airing out for a few hours. Will probably give them a week then switch to flower, on 19/5 now....
I planted my last 4 Blueberry seeds and 2 random seeds I found in some bud called Timewreck(I think), here are the clones and seeds new home..
I will update on the 3 under DS200 later, unfortunately they are showing some of same signs, but not as bad, as the 4 chopped plants. And one dried out because plant sitter failed. But I think I may have got back in time to save it, was droopy last night, but not fried, so I watered.
