š§ Nutrient Profile
Current feeding recipe (per liter of water):
⢠Aptus Regulator ā 0.15 ml
Supports nutrient flow, strengthens cell walls, anti-stress defense.
⢠Aptus CalMag Boost ā 0.25 ml
Helping frame formation and boosting photosynthetic power.
⢠Aptus All-in-One Liquid ā 1 ml
Serving as the balanced nutrient base.
⢠Aptus Start Booster ā 0.2 ml
Still enhancing root expansion and early leaf vigor.
Weāre still watering from below, by filling the tray and letting the substrate absorb from the bottom up, encouraging strong root systems and oxygen-rich zones in the upper soil.

š” Lights & Zones
Weāve now expanded our setup into the 8x8 tent, and the Lava Cakes are sharing space with their sisters across two dedicated zones:
⢠Future of Grow ā Black Series 600:
Full-spectrum power delivering compact, colorful growth.
⢠ThinkGrow Model Ones:
Smart spectrum and PPFD control, perfectly synced with the TrolMaster system.
Both lighting zones are tuned for vegāintensity dialed in, and spectrum tuned for lush photosynthesis.

š¬ļø Airflow & Filtration
⢠Exhaust: Two 6ā inline fans with carbon filters for odor and purity
⢠TrolMaster Aerofan 6ā (controlled by Tent-X controller)
⢠Spider Farmer 6ā Inline (controlled by GGS Controller)
⢠Intake: One 6ā active intake with filter
This full cycle keeps airflow fresh, clean, and optimized, essential for plant metabolism and VPD balance.
š” Why carbon filters even now?
Because purity matters. Even in early veg, it keeps the air crisp and microbial risks low. Plus, stealth mode always on. š
āø»
š Sensors in Action
Weāre dialing in with:
⢠COā sensor (live ppm tracking)
⢠Humidity/Temp sensor
⢠PPFD sensor for light mapping and consistency
These tools allow us to optimize every square meter of canopy, ensuring no girl is left behind.

šæ Looking Ahead
⢠Light training coming soon
⢠Roots will now fully colonize the 11L Amnesia fabric pots
⢠Expect explosive top and side growth
⢠Canopy management will begin as needed
⢠More studio photo sessionsābefore the girls outgrow the door! šø
