Day 23 and these Fast Flowering plants are also fast growing. The one in particular, the Green Crack on mantis nutes is 10" tall and 17" wide with fan leaves almost as big as my hands. Once they hit double that height its flower time. May have to start some LST but up till now just seeing what they do naturally. The Bruce Banger on the other hand which is supposed to be mainly sativa is looking more like an Indica. It is a week behind so perhaps it will start to go. And the red leaf lettuce is almost ready to harvest.
So far keeping temps steady at 22-29C and RH @ 32-38%. both res ph 5.7, ppm 700 or 1.4 EC. have 1-6" intake fan, 1-12" fan inside the tent and 1-4"exhaust fan(soon to be 6").
I am excited about this grow and everyday it seems things are growing fast.

For some reason I just realized I missed this thread...thanks for sharing your grow. I appreciate the details. I'm in my third grow but have only been growing weed for about a year. My first autopot grow. I've found the little valves are messy. Been looking for a more reliable replacement.
"... just in case and rinse out the res once per grow about half way through before starting the bloom ". I was wondering about the rez. I've noticed after a few days it gets a little smelly...not sure if that is good or bad but the PH is in the right range. I think I'm going to try what you are doing.
I've been to your province a time or two. Canada is a beautiful place.

Glad you found the thread golfnrl.
I also found a slight build-up of residue in the reservoir so as I said I have a small pump on a timer to circulate the nutrient solution 3 times a day. Having used Remo nutes I have never had a plugged line but I do drain a bit past the last aquavalve and then blow air back through the lines into the main Res every couple weeks. This has kept things running smoothly.
Only been using the Mantis nutes for just over a week and almost zero buildup and very clean solution. Every Nutrient will have its unique learning curve as Obi-Wan said.
Yes, Canada is a large mainly un-populated place with many beautiful, natural settings. No wonder so many people are wanting to migrate here. Many of their countries are badly polluted and their political systems are very corrupt. We are extremely fortunate to live in North America.
ps: like you I have only been growing for a year. On my 3rd autpot grow in 2 different tents this time.

Day 28, temps, RH steady.
Mantis Nutes are still leading the way over Remo Nutes but not by too much.
The GC and OGKZ are making huge fan leaves and are standing 9.5 and 11" T x 20" W.
The Remo plants are 8" T and up to 19"W. Been snipping the odd pair of fan leaves off and doing some tucking. Otherwise letting them do their thing. These HSO plants are vigorous growers.
The BB is starting to look better and keeping pace.
Another 6-8 inches or so and flipping to 12/12.

Are you trying to increase humidity of individual tent or the room the tent is in?
When trying to grow during winter in a Canadian basement, I didnt have much success with increasing humidity of tent. What I found worked better was to try and increase the humidity of the room tent is in. If I'm dealing with really dry area and only have plants in veg I make the tent vent back into the same room (vs outside) to get RH in mid 50s etc.

Hey grow neighbors, Day 35 and things are under control I think. April 16th noticed some yellow/browning and spotting happening fairly quickly to both sets of plants using Mantis and Remo nutes. I went through things and decided to flush all the plants with RO water ph'd to 5.5. The runoff tested at 7.1/7.2. I continued until it read 5.9/6.0. Then I watered through with a weak nutrient solution.
Things have stabilized and I now assume I was feeding too strong a diet to the girls. Was at 1.4 EC for the bigger Mantis fed plants and 1.6 EC for the Remo fed plants. lowered the Mantis to 1.2 and the Remo to 1.4 Now that they are looking better I will wait a short while to make sure all is good and then flip the light schedule to 12/12.
Here are the latest pics.

Day 41 and things are progressing nicely. Temps steady at 20/28C, RH 35/55%,
The Mantis nutrient plants on the left are much larger but a lighter green color. Once mixed it holds it's ph and the solution is almost clear with zero buildup of any kind.
The FF Green Crack is 2 ft tall and leaving the others in the dust height wise so I supercropped it and flipped them all to 12/12. Let the flowering begin. FF OGKZ is 18" tall and very wide. So far real happy with Mantis.
The plants on Remo Nutes are slightly smaller but very healthy and very bushy with tighter nodes. Have to adjust ph down with Remo every 3rd day or more and there is always a slight sludge buildup.
Gave all the plants a heavy defoliation as they were super bushy.
Real impressed so far with the HSO Fast Flowering plants. Growth is fast and plants are healthy. Except for the one plant they are looking stable in growth patterns.
The Bruce Banger has caught up enough I was comfortable putting it into flower as well.

JohnEmad what are your fast flowering plants? Are they a strain that's kinda in-between auto&photo ? What is the name please of these seeds? And fella you got some very healthy looking gals going there well done

Hi @SoOrbudgal,
You are correct Fast Flowering is a title given to some of the new strains by Humbolt Seed Org. and others are following suit. They crossed a male auto to a female photo to achieve a fast flowering photo.
https://www.humboldtseeds.net/en/fast-flowering-ogkz/
https://www.humboldtseeds.net/en/fast-flowering-green-crack/
They can be ready for harvest in 44 to 50 days from the start of flowering. This could be a great choice for the outdoor grower not wanting mold issues in the late fall when things get cool and damp.
HSO offered some free testers so I was able to get 5 of each.
I love the cannabis world as there are so many free samples of things out there.
Reminds me of how passing a joint or pipe was usually a shared group thing and no one seemed to care too much about the cost.
If ya got it light it up and enjoy. pass it down.

Day 47 and all plants are showing pistils. The MH SP250's appear to be enough light in the 4x4 tent although flowering will tell the end of the story.
Started the 2 HSO plants using Remo nutes on the flowering formula at an EC of 1.8 and ph-5.7. both the FF Green Crack & FF OGKZ are close to 16" in height.
The FF Green Crack & FF OGKZ on Mantis Buffered nutes are 2ft and 19 " tall.
The Bruce Banger (also on Mantis) is about 12" tall and will be a nice addition to the HSO family.
Only doing some defoliation of certain sets of fan leaves but will do a heavy defol in a couple weeks. Real happy with things so far.
