Mid Week Update:
Hard Data:
Seeds were direct sown on 2/15/2018 at approx 8:30 PM CST.
Current age: 33 Days. (21MAR2018)
Nutes and Amount Used: 18.5g megacrop, 1.8ml drip clean, 5 gallon batch. 1.2EC 600ish ppm. They got approx 32oz of water per plant.
PH: 5.6
Temp and RH: 76F and 45%
Notes This is post trim recovery, they have really bounced back.
I also moved my cab away from the window, and temps inside have improved by 5 degrees inside. Lights are still at 200w.
Money Shot(s):
Overall, looking MUCH better.
Edit: Pure speculation, but pretty sure all but GM4 are female. GM4 is shy, canāt tell yet. 5/6 and all the ladies are coming to the party.

I donāt have a schedule for the monkies, but they are getting close to flip time here as well. Iām really just waiting for alternating branches to show me the plant is mature enough to flip. They are responding really well to the low stress training. Iāll be cleaning out my cloner and taking the two bottom branches of each one this weekend. They got another neem/kelp tea, just like the rest of my garden.

They are looking much happier. Their color has normalized.
I would like to point outā¦they are EXTREMELY sensitive to ozone (O3). Even a little bit eats at the leavesā¦Iām having trouble finding a happy medium but may discontinue the use of ozone and go with a carbon scrubber

Transplant/Final Potting Update
The 4 monkeys I have left are all in their final 5gal fabrics. The roots werenāt as fantastic and to the outside of the pots as I would have hoped but they were deep into the bottomā¦
Before:
After:
All watered after transplant with 1/2g MegaCrop at 4.5g/gallon with added calmag+ at 5ml/gallon
Then hit with the second neem spray and got the new potted soil as well as added precaution
Lonely malesā¦ no ladies for them:

Ozone is deadly to all plants and most other living creatures. Itās fine to inject in to a duct system but just having it float in the air is seriously dangerous.

I agree, if not properly monitored ozone is very hazardous. I run at 0.08ppm O3 (safe for human exposure for 8 hours) and does not seem to bother my other plants, however the monkeys are sensitive, I had it down to 0.04 ppm which is not enough O3 to cancel the smell of flowering plants.
I am going to be doing away with the ozone gen and build a carbon scrubber. I would like a safer and more accessible environment in the long run.

added a āco2 canisterā to my tent with the monkeys to see how it does themā¦ tube runs from the 1.5l bottle (1tbs active yeast,3/4c sugar, and half full of warm water) into the second bottle (half filled water, one tube all the way to the bottom and a separate tube half inch inserted to the other side) longer piece out of water runs up to fan which distributes lol

Ouch! Yes, intensive LITFA is required. I suspect it will be fine.
