Hello All!
Running AC Infinity 3x3 tent kit complete with the Samsung S33 Ion board, UIS 69 Pro, etc. To catch up, below is my personal journal logs to date. Coir is new to me, so I have had some downs for sure so far. hopefully the vast amount of experience growers will chime in and help a brother out every now and again. Happy Grows!
Plants:
Pineapple Kush x 2 from Royal Queen Seeds
Painkiller XL x 3 from Royal Queen Seeds
Nutrients:
Humbolts Secret kit 2
Medium:
Cana Cocoa 50L bag
~5L bag of perlite

Seedlings started great. One of the Pineapple Kush seeds had helmet head and lost on of the cotyledons. The other appears to be a runt. Had some worries but it seems to be pulling through. First true leaves started developing on the PXL's. Mixed 1 gallon batch at what I thought was 1/4 strength. I know I mixed the Base A and Base B at 25%. However, I did not see the additives also had some K in it, and mixed it at minimum dose listed on chart. I may be causing a nutrient toxicity on the K side. My gut tells me to flush but I only gave 5ml to 4/5 plants. I am giving the runt more time to spring back. Only time will tell. Tent environment is still giving slight trouble. Sensor and humidifier RH don't line up at all. Set to 80% humidity. Temps seem to hover around 71°F lights on. Ordered a controller plug for the heat. Hopefully that will curb the temps at night and not over heat the plants. Need to upload pics each day!

Plants looked great after small dose of nutrients. No deficiencies. Used same mix as day before, checked PH and found it at 6.03. PH Down to 5.89 using dropper. Took 8 drops roughly to bring it down. Removed heat matt and tote lid out of tent and place the tote inside. Gave each plant roughly 200-250ml of nutrients.

My fear was confirmed with slight tip burns on first true leaves. Corrected with 5.8 PH RO water, no additives. Received AC Infinity outlet controller and hooked up heater to help maintain temps. Humidifier was turned on to constantly run. Exhaust fan will take care of humidity levels.

Checked plants during lights off after work. Green as can be. Will continue with just PH corrected RO water only. Also need to clean humidifier and replace with RO water. Did not know the humidifier used ultrasonic to vaporize the water. Calcium is starting to build up. Need to keep this in check so that I am not getting confused with powdery mildew.

Plants have been through some ups and downs. Giving 1ml/gal of CalMag ph water. Forgot to record ppm and ph before adding calmag, but water has been consistent at 22 ppm and 5.89 ph over the past few days of checking water before refilling humidifier just to get used to a baseline after ro. With call mag added, ph is 5.91. Ppm is 88. Watered each plant with 25ml except the pineapple kush2. Some plants had very little runoff, which is good. That means the environment adjustments have been working. VPD target is .8 to 1.2 with Temps set to 71 with 2% buffer and hum set to 69% with 3% buffer. I did transplant the Pineapple Kush 2 into new coir. Doesn't look like this girl is going to make it so why not experiment with what I may be experiencing. I think I have been over watering, so I transplanted into dry coir and watered just around the plant base with 10ml of RO.

Checked plants this morning. No signs of nut burn or stress. I did need to give the PK2 water. Gave plain RO at 5.9 PH at 20 ml. I had less than a gallon left after filling humidifier so I did want to play around with PH adjusters. I think 5.9 is good enough. The other plants are showing droopy leaves. perhaps 25 ml is too much to water every couple of days? Plants are starting on their third node, so roots should be establishing well at this point. I did do a check on them carefully sliding them out of the cups. roots are white and bountiful so i do not think I have an immediate root issue, but I don't have x-ray vision to see inside the coir.
