Day 17
It's that awkward part when using AutoPots. By that, I mean their roots are nowhere near the lower levels where there is nutrient saturation. So, I poured a nutrient ring about 3 inches from the stem and another about 5 inches away.
My guess is that I let them try to reach those rings, but if I see signs of underwatering, then go ahead water again.
I'm trying my best to not let the roots get lazy and huddle around in a safe area. I want them stretching out.

Day 20
Grease's Pieces is not a happy plant. She is curling up tight.
I dug out the excess coco because she was down in a hole.
I "dampened" the area around it with some food.
We'll see if she bounces back.

Change of Plans
When I opened the tent this morning, Grease's Pieces had gone even further downhill.
Those two center leaves were even tighter, and the two larger ones had lost all of their rigidity. They were limp and lying on the ground.
So, I made an executive decision to get her back into her Solo Cup with only damp coco.
I did my best to get all of the roots, but in the end, I ended up losing about 1.5" of the main tap root. Having said that, there hadn't been much root expansion because of the stress.
I added a 2-foot pole to my humidifier to get its exhaust much higher than the pot.
This plant has been my runt from the beginning. I should have babied her longer in the cup, but we'll move on from here.

Day 21
I am catching up from a few days back. You'll notice that it looks like I am losing my Rhubarb plant as well. In the coming days, it will be more apparent.
This is Grease's Pieces and she is not long for this world.

Day 26 - Rhubarb
I'm not sure what to think now.
My first remedy a few days ago was to feed it. Someone said it looked hungry. That did not improve things.
Yesterday, I acted like it was a nutrient lockout and flushed all of the coco with RO water.
That option may take a few days to bear fruit.

Day 27 for My Sick Plant - Rhubarb S1
I'm back to feeding her. This has been the slowest death of any of my plants.
But, just like in the Broke Back Mountain movie. "I can't quit you."

Day 40 - Back from the Daytona 500
I'm back after two weeks. I left my plants in the hands of my lovely bride, and she did a great job.
So, let's take a look at their progress.

Although I am not tracking this plant because of serious stunting issues,
I intend to keep it alive as long as it wants.
If there is some major change, I include more photos along with the other plants (MooMoo DooDoo & Nyx: Bringer of Sleep and Death. Black Strap Auto is tracked in a separate thread.)
