Yeah, they’re in the same tent temps and RH hasn’t changed. I’ll cut the light back a bit while they’re acclimating. It hasnt been a week yet so I’ll be patient. Really hoping the diesel pulls through this magnesium issue.
Use some langbeinite.

I dunno what your levels are, but you could maybe try a small dose of Neptune's harvest fish and seaweed.

Growbox update: the new one is in beast mode, and finally setting buds after like 5 weeks on 12/12. Seems like a while but it was barely a seedling when I put it in the tent:

And I was trying to keep this Crnklz clone on the shorter side, thinking she might be sensitive to high light levels... The method: tiny clone, topped during the first week of 12/12. The result: 6-inch tall mound of buds, still wrinkly af:

Very interesting. Technically it would not count as a plant in my state if it stayed under 6 inches.

Wow! How cool is that, bonsai mums for the win, lol. I’d love to be able to keep a ton of moms and just flower out three at a time. I’ll have to see if there is a similar provision here in CT.

How long after transplanting, say, a 3-wk old seedling into the earth/grow box or SIP do you first fill the res? I transplanted a couple days ago and top-watered it in very well, put on the cover, and the moisture in the box is good right now. Should I give it a week and then fill?

When you notice the plant is growing, put water in the res.

Good Morning Y’all,
I keep my reservoir filled from initial setup till the final curtain call.
Here is my current project of 2 Bodhi Strawberry Temple @ 35F~ Huzzah!5E996632-ED54-4272-A431-6FB6C934A712.jpegF0E53927-0A0B-465E-A312-9F7DEBC689E4.jpeg0F0F3AC6-C7BA-4A8A-AF11-B535538F10AC.jpeg3ED81292-C8C8-4D9C-A8FA-8BF5525FB1E8.jpeg992BDB5E-27A7-4E0E-8B49-6C622AA26468.jpeg

Looking sharp Tim! It's great finding the right combo of plant size, container size, and amendments that you can just go water only the whole way
I see a rheumatologist this Wednesday, I hope to get some medicine to help my hands , thank goodness this grow has been simple, plus I flipped to flower earlier to keep them short, I might have to get some help from the family when it's time to harvest

Dude I am fighting RA which is a big issue, as the traditional meds aren't working. Prednisone is about the only thing that helps. I am on methotrexate + hydrochloroquine. Hands and elbows hurt, and I can't play guitar (I am semi-pro bluegrass and blues lead guitar). It is so bad I am selling amps and gear. Guess I'll be a retired guitarist soon. :(

Day 35 of 12/12. Added screws to the tote lids to get a better seal. Some sand around the base to block the opening. Seams to have helped. Less fliers around. Also top watering with dunk water. Should help. 8113F8D7-0258-4861-972F-898DCC3714F9.jpegF5E88097-BEEA-4F15-A59A-B5092824B574.jpegAE211E80-292E-4DC2-990A-CFDB16095797.jpegB46D0DCF-9329-40C9-882F-02C2378C9C65.jpeg
