Ok so happy frog is super super hot with nutes i guess, this is whats been giving me the problems biggie has endured with deformed leafs and such. Its pot was Rockwool, happy frog (size of pete pot), hydrophobic ocean fresh (size of 1 gal) . Its a little russian doll of watering hassle.
Remember, the boss is mixing multiple 55 gal drums at a time , reusing soil, and curing truck loads at a time. Im mixing fractions of the mix which means it needs to be exact and having soil problems.
The runoff is the color of resin , thick dark resin. It looks like diarrhea I joked with the boss.
When i tp'd I gave her over 2 gallons of water. I got desired run off and said fuck it cause i cant lift the pot now that ive watered it to see if its full. There is soo much shit in the soil the plant immediately got sips of concentrated coolaids and almost died. Almost . I spent like 3 hours pushing water thru her probably used at least another 2 gals and have 3-5 gals ready for today after my brothers bbq. The color of the water /started/ to lighten.
Hydro Shop guy knew what he was talking about. You probably could go 3 weeks before you burned it off naturally and could control npk properly. Or Just flush the crap out till the water doesn't look like diarrhea. The roots arent in the outer rim yet so you wont hurt it by just flooding the crap out. Shes responding proper.
Little was slightly damaged it was either bad water (it could be contaminants in the batch bucket i guess?) or lights too close and thirsty new soil hosed biggie. where lil has been holindg her weight well.

Im glad they are back in order. I usually mix as I need. I Premixed what I would need in a grow The last time I tried mixing a large amount at one time. The mix started forming a kind of Mildew in the so I stopped doing it that way. They look good
I really like the consistency and how the soil works i will ammend next time i think. ty.
Trends continue both back to normal. asking boss when I can cut the deformed leafs they sag to soil
extreme soil flush and light from 26 to 32 in from top foliage saved it from looking like a loss.
Easy pot + soil = near impossible to over water with out nutes in it , and the soil buffers ph. Easy street.

Still good with feedback that this soil is as good as it waters I burned em with the light
In hindsight i could have caught it because by tabbing backwards thru the live feed it gave a stop action movie of it dying that was obvious what was happening an hour in if you fast forwarded

I showed my old man my plants. He is a good religious guy, always does the right thing etc. He liked my setup, (I actually built an environmental controller for dwc which is hanging on the side of the tent he is into industrial controls). He kinda made fun of me like he expected me to have a warehouse with 150 rows of plants with oompaloompas in white clean suits tending to the fields. He was like Its kind of a small area, no? Giggles , yah its a phone booth but its a phone booth that makes weed. 
I'm being tactful of the of the fact that money does in fact grow on trees. Technically both of us are right it does grow on trees , but the permits to convert harvest to money legally are so expensive its like saying I could live my dream and goto the moon , and back. (Im pretty sure it would be a trivial endeavour to find someone willing to strap me to the top of a rocket with no guarantee of making it to space even)
Me and my brother, we didnt always get along but he always said i was funny,

So Im convinced I suck at cloning. Boss says just leave em along and keep em moist. (what a word)Check it out though. I didnt expect to see something like that till atleast 50. I wanted to get her some of that canadian viagra they sell online, but the boss seemed optimistic still, The one on the right must be doing super well if he thinks the left could pull thru. The crap right in the bottom crux of the x is some white crap that came off the stem when I pulled the cotyldons off , they were looking necrotic . What happens if you get a box of strawberries with one shitty one in the middle? The rest go bad rapidly. So remove sickly stuff before it actually starts rotting. Rot spreads. I threw the garbage in there before he told me to leaf it
Biggie, Is looking fantastic to me. I actually did exactly what I was intending to do . Some additional motivation was required to get them light. How to train them really depends if I have a sausage fest going , one F , or Sensimilla. Before my buddy started mentoring me , Where this sits is exactly what I planned to do. From here out Im following his plan. I think hes gonna have me mainline it and fill my scrog. We were critiquing a mutual friends who has like 3 coals in a 3x3 scrog. Maybe 2 oz?
Boss is basically like yep leave it let it recover and keep spreading her out. BTW I intend to use a 1 foot long 10 awg solid contractor wire (the stuff they run in outlets) and make eyelets on one end and drive it into the soil to anchor for LST. This is kinda silly how i have it it pulls out every so often and i need to redo it. My entire house is loaded with my brothers stuff so Im putting off this, AND ......
Lil is doing pretty good. Shes out growing her pot rapidly. The root tips was a day or two back, right after I topped her. So shes recovering a day to 3 more than I am gonna tp her. I actually have no more dirt that is good. So im headed to the store for another absolutely ludicrously big bag of dirt. I underestimated the ability to use dirt tping up to the 10 gals. I actually thought I would have half a bag left over when I was done with both. Im out.
Shes doing good, her stems are super thick but shes not growing . Shes recovering from topping and then shes gonna explode.
