Looking good @hank
Interested to see how the Sour Crack does under some serious light.
Are you using GnatNix? Or is that extra perlite on top of your 5gal's.

@Ronin ya fucking gnats are jacking with 1 plant on the other grow. I think they came from the coco loco. I tried coco loco a few times and really dont like it. always had problems with it. Holds way to much water.
regardless the gnat problem is not that bad, I have not used any chemicals, however I might use some SNS209. For the time im using a little GnatNix and it is helping a lot.

Gnats are a little bitch and I have never had them before. They cause odd lockout issues.

Day 25. Have only light watered the 2 - 5 gal, however gave the air pot a good watering. Ph of water 6.5-6.6.

Day 45 or so. Last water got about 4 ml of flora Nova bloom and 4 ml of Kool bloom per gal. Tossed out the plant in the air pot because it was on the small side and started to get mites.
The 2 plants differ a bit. One has thick short hairs and more frost the other longer hairs and starting to frost up.

Flowers look perfect. Thick heavy hairs. Should be hard as golf balls!
