I got box fans and windows open all around my mobile home, esp on the North side, just to keep the house, and the grow room below 90! I very much appreciate the breaks we get once a week, with rain and temps down to the 60's.
And who thought Alaska could be so HOT?

Something was munching another plant! What is it, should I get lady bugs?

Yes they will start looking droopy if the medium is too wet for too long, looks like under watering, but with wet medium.

I would not get ladybugs till you find out what's eating your leaves. I don't think lady bugs hunt and eat insect larvae bigger than they are. You might have to break down and spray your plants with diluted neem oil.

yeah, def the larvae of some garden pest. Use 3 N 1 garden spray, the one formulated for edibles. It's not that expensive, and it works. Most likely the larvae are living in the soil, and at night, crawl up the stem to munch on the leaves. so spray both the plant and the soil, according to the directions on the bottle.

This is an AWESOME setup, AKroughneck! If I were still living in Ester, I would build a greenhouse, too, and grow them really BIG!

So I went with this set up for a few reasons, one was being able to walk away from it for up to a week, I have to adjust ph every day, I adjust it to 5.8 and after 24 hrs it's at 5.6, still feeding 5ml fng 2ml calmag 1ml rs .5 ml of that orca bennies stuff , how much shift can they take? How am I supposed to be able to leave a set up like this alone a few days?

Wow, looking great AK! I would have to say that these babies have hit the reservoirs and taken right off, what a healthy sight 
I wish I could help you out with how to be able to leave for a few days or more. With the ph fluctuation it kind of makes it hard when you have to adjust it so often. Perhaps a ph perfect line of nutrients would help? I'm really not sure if it would help, just a suggestion. My ph always went up after 24 hours in my hempy buckets with perlite and vermiculite..

Update time, day 41 on the bigger plants, I forget about the younger ones, even forgetting what's what, the three on the auto system have been switched to 5ml floranova bloom, .5ml of that orca bennies stuff 2ml cal mag plus and I figured I'd quit rapid start
Big bomb
Mazar
Qp or Mazar?
Qp I think
Qp also I think
And the two headed experiment
Yellow fly traps seem to have greatly reduced if not eliminated the holes in the leafs, the lady bugs have all left, must not have been much if anything at all for them to eat, all plants are suffering from some minor yellowing and drying up of lower leafs, start of a nitrogen deficiency? I think the bloom nutes have increased nitrogen plus I'll start a slow increase in the amount of fnb and this should handle that if it's the problem
I have found I'm getting lazier with my watering for the three who are not on the auto system, they are still doing ok they are younger and smaller, I'll try to get a pump and plumbing to them soon

Yellowing and dropping those leaves at the bottom are normal. The plant doesn't need them anymore, so has shut off its lifeline to them. The spotting and styreaking isn't widespread, so I tend to think it is a combination of things, including outside damage of some sort, hat stress, lensing of water or dew. Nute deficiencies will show up in specific patterns, in specific areas of the plants.
If you're feeding and watering them all the same way, and it's not just one strain being affected, and most of the others look healthy, then there is SOMETHING external happening. By now most of the larvae have become flies, moths, or whatever. Just trying to remember what insects I had to deal with, when I had a vegetable garden in Ester.
I did have occasional cabbage worms and some that ate turnips, and definitely something that chewed holes in the leaves. But that was all outdoors, not in a nice greenhouse like yours.

We been flowering for awhile I think I'm 70 ish days now and doubt the plants will finish in the 85 days they say they will, I upped nutes last night and I think the big Mazar got nute burn so I'll flush with ph water and see if that fixes her

Even with the nute burn, you did an AWESOME job on your grow!

Looks hella nice man
Yeah don't believe the breeders finish times, indoors in perfect condition it might be possible, but a few more weeks is almost always needed.
Outdoors autos need 12-16 weeks from seed to finish properly.

Hey there AK, the grow is coming along very nicely while I have been away. Some of them are getting some good size to them as well A note on the breeders finishing time that I have learned, the time they specify is usually just the flowering time and doesn't include the veg stage. Also these specifications are usually for the earliest you should pick the flowers to dry, this all depends on the high the grower is looking for and may add another 2 or 3 weeks to get desired effects.
Keep up the good work over there! Just wanted to drop in and say hi while I am away and see how you were doing. Take care!
