Greetings fellow Cannibers,
It has been 3 days since my last update to the grow log. The pictures tell the whole story, and it is a good one as we have seen about 20% growth. Everyone is mostly a deep and happy green now and getting taller and wider by the day. Secondary leaf sets are now out on every node and developing rapidly. The size of the fan leaves and the main trunks have increased noticeably in just these 3 days.

I have noticed that the moisture uptake into all 4 is not the same. Yesterday 1,2 and 3 all needed water with the moisture meter showing dry all the way down to the bottom. Our runt, as wide as she may be was not using as much water so I let her sit for one more day. Today she was dry and got the water. I am shooting for a 3 day water cycle and have found that at the moment it takes about 3/4 cup to do that... I expect that number to go up. Emmie is watching.

I also got a surprise when 2 days ago we started getting fragrance from these babies. I was not expecting this yet and scrambled for my mouse as I ordered what I needed to make my DIY carbon filter. I have ducted the two tents together by putting the fan in the old closet (for noise reduction and easy access to an attic vent), a Y duct coming out of the closet, and then flexi ducting to each tent. The inline carbon filter will be installed at the fan output and before the ducting that leads to the attic.

Also, the first try at the SCRog table was not good enough. The screen part is probably fine, but the lower planter table was far too weak to be reliable. We are trying a bit bigger PVC and stiffer screen material after my next trip to that Hunky Man Emporium that is known by all as the local Lowe's store.

I am also very pleased to report that the local drought is over. Missouri is now seeing some medium-good grade available at a reasonable price. Just in time for the new semester and tutoring freshman/sophomore students. Emmie is pleased. :thumbsup:

Here are the pictures!

Our short (formerly known as the runt) achiever. She is by far the widest now and standing at a very proud 3".


Number 3, definitely a bit different than the rest, but with that distinctive peppery smell of White Widow. Currently 5" tall.


Number 2, recovered well and standing at almost 5"


Number 1, spent some energy eating up the first true leaves. The rest have mostly recovered and he is still growing steaily. Getting wider now and 5" tall


Enjoy that football! Go Chiefs! :thumbsup:
