Indoor MWW's "The Story of Cheeto"

[ManWithWrench]

This is Cheeto.
Cheeto is a Fast Buds Orange Sherbet Auto
Today I put Cheeto into A GroBucket Filled with SoHum Living soil
Cheeto is just sitting in my nice warm Living room waiting for her turn in the tent.
The tent's current residents are getting evicted next week and it will be getting a slight makeover to maximize space and laziness. Will add pictures of modifications when that happens.

The current operation will consist of the following products

AC Infinity cloudlab 632 tent
AC Infinity 4" Cloudline S4 exhaust fan with carbon filter
A GroBucket hold approx. 4 gallons of soil
SoHum LIving Soil
Two Bestva Pro1000 lights
Light Schedule will be 18/6
Water is from my well. Depth unknown. pH unknown.
An Orange Sherbert Auto seed from FastBuds

Might want to check on what kind of aquifer your well is drilled into and PH it as well. Mine is from limestone aquifer and was in the high 9's.....played merry hobbs with my first grow till MoG got me straightened out on it and I started buying distilled/RO water......just a heads up

Here's wishing Cheeto a fantastic run.

I have been using my well water for a couple of years now and haven't had any noticeable issues. I may look into RO water just because it sounds like something fun to have. Thanks.

About as 0 ppm as you can get.....then you know exactly what your putting in...but if what you got has been working then no sense changing it..

I got the tent modified today. By doing this I gain 11 inches of height. I have some 4 ft 20watt led strip lights ordered to put vertically in each corner for side lighting. I'm pretty stoked to get this one going. I am only running one plant this time because the Orange sherbet is supposedly a larger plant than what I normally run and want to give it all the space.

Had the day off today and also received some goodies in the mail. So I spent some time experimenting . My lights off temp was down around 67F and humidity at 22%. Got ahold of a VPD chart and decided to make some adjustments. As an experiment I put a bucket of warm water in the tent and checked again in about 30 min later. 74F and 42%. I now have a aquarium heater coming to keep the water in the bucket warm and already installed an air pump and air stones to keep the water from becoming stagnant. I also modified the GroBucket to utilize the tote space to hold water in reserve which also received air stones.

I guess this sohum soul isn't great to start plants in. It's been stunted like this all week. So I pulled it out. Not much of any roots at all. So I dug a hole out of the middle of the bucket and put in my usual proven winners soil in the hole. I will be starting a new bean tonight.

 

[ManWithWrench]

New bean planted. New plant is Original Russian Auto from Fastbuds. I did notice while planting and watering in the new bean that the sohum soil doesn't seem to have much water retention. I pushed my fingers down 3 or 4 inches and it was quite dry compared to the Proven Winners soil that I pocketed into the middle approximately the size of a solo cup. I will update again in a couple weeks when we can catch back up.

If this soil keeps killing my plants should I ask for a refund?
