Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that the soil in the 5 gal bags is soil that I used in my December / January harvest. I was curious what would happen if I just reused it, and it seems to be going well.

No trimming or training tonight. Just letting them do their thing.

They were a little thirsty when I took this pic, so I watered them up. Tomorrow I’ll repot them into their final homes and give them one last top watering to kickstart the wicking.

I’ll also be hitting these plants with some azamax tomorrow due to spotting red spider mites on one of the other plants in a solo cup earlier. I haven’t seen signs of them anywhere besides that 1 cup/plant, but I don’t want to take any chances.

The autos:

She’s doing good, flowering nicely. Will be giving her some nutrients starting tomorrow.

She’s starting to grow pretty decently now. I haven’t noticed any bugs on her the last day or 2. I did hit her with azamax last night (along with the rest of my garden), so that might have something to do with it as well.

No trimming or training tonight. Put the girls on the right side of the tent into 5 gal bags, watered them to start the wicking and filled the reservoir with nutrients and water.

Autos are still doing good. I didn’t snap pics today, but maybe tomorrow. I did feed them either fox farms today.

I'm planning on doing something similar, I read somewhere to add a little worm castings and some compost will help when reusing soil.

I figure I’m adding nutrients anyway, so it’s getting all that it needs from there. Seems to be working just fine so far though!

They’re about due for some trimming, but not tonight.

The back right one looks a little sad still. I reduced the light for now to see if that’ll help. I believe it’s due to the humidity / temperature ratio (hitting 82-85F and 55% humidity), so this should help offset that.

No pics of the autos as it’s too dark out now.

So these girls are struggling right now. The only thing I can think of is the reused soil. I amended some happy frog on top, and watered them from the top with a half gallon each, as well as filled the reservoir.

I’ll give them until Friday to either pull them or leave them.

These girls, on the other hand, are doing well. I haven’t done any trimming or training yet, but will likely start doing that this week.

The autos:

This girl has been outside since the beginning. She was stunted in the beginning, but is now growing pretty well. No bug damage from what I can tell so far (there is one little hole that’s been there for a few weeks now on one of the fingers), though there is a spider currently tucked away in the top node.

This girl was the one in the tent. She’s flowering nicely - probably 2 or 3 weeks in now. Been moved outside on the deck temporarily for 2 days last week when it hit the 80’s (greenhouse hit a max of 126.3F those days). Sorry for the blurry pic - heater is blowing right in her direction lol

Right now it’s in the mid to low 40’s at night, but I have a portable ac/heater unit in here now, so it’s ranging between 66ish to 73F, since the unit is on “power save” mode.

Since half of my photos in my perpetual tent are doing somewhat poorly, I decided to toss in the last of my auto seeds. So far one has sprouted:

3D1EEFA4 ABEA 4065 AD24 3EF77A62049D


I know another has germinated, but I had to reposition it in the cup (watered a smidge too hard and it moved to the top of the soil), but I know the tap root has begun, so I should see her in the next day or 2.


Heater kicked off, so here’s a better pic:

That’s all for now.

If anyone has any suggestions on the photos that are hurting, lmk!

So the last few days they’ve been looking sickly. At first I thought it was the light - so I raised it and turned off one set of the lights and waited a few days. The reservoirs were still filled a decent way, so I ruled that out.

After a few days, they ended up looking like the pics above. I ruled out the light, and the temp and humidity were in range, so I figured maybe they ran out of water. Reservoirs were still with plenty of water.

I decided to top water them just to rule it out, and here they are tonight:

I’ll have to investigate the bottom feeding setup this weekend.

The autos:
F2BADD20 93C6 48EB A30C 88164BAEFEE6

The outdoor girl is starting to flower. She’s had some aphid damage, so I did spray her with some BT. Still not going to smoke her though.

The one that’s just been in the greenhouse is killing it. She smells amazing, and is forming some good buds. Probably another 2-3 weeks left.

I also started 2 more of this type, one sprouted, the other is still with the helmet on.

The new one, though, is doing well:

That’s all for tonight :)

They look like they recovered well. They also seem to be drinking from the bottom now as the levels are lower and will need a refill tomorrow.

No auto pics tonight (too lazy lol)

I need to feed and train the photos, so I’ll prob have pics tomorrow for them.
