Connect TrolMaster components into the Tent-X system. Program DSP2E, Temperature DST2E, Humidity DSH2E, as well as the AMP3 sensor with PH and EC probes, are all in place.
After calibrating the probes, AMP3 module works perfectly! It has a quick response in measurements, is accurate, and I am very happy about the possibility of online monitoring of liquid values.
After day off use i can tell that all readings are very consistent, compared with Milwaukee, totally without all over the place measurements. Perfectly steady and on spot receding!
The Program device runs flawlessly all day, and I hope it has solved all the problems I had with DH48-S timers.
The humidity control operates without errors throughout the day, and it’s nice to see in the app when the module is active.
Raise light as much as i can..50-55cm from canopy. Set off misting time from 30min to 35min @ day time , and from 35min to 45min @ night time
Flush Tropicana Cookies' for one more day, tomorrow harvest, prepared tent for drying with humidifier , ventilation and temperature and humidity controllers

First harvest in this run! Tropicana Cookies No1 is a winner.) First Tropicana Cookies is harvested on 89 day from seed. Total 55 days off flowering.
Fast flowering indeed as fast in vegetative stage. Cut this girl in branches and hang upside-down in smaller tent for drying
Set RH @ 55% , temperatures not able to control so they will be something around 20-21 in drying tent
Second Tropicana will be chopped within a couple off days. Checking trichomes with microscopes can tell that one Purple Lemonade is also going to finish in next days
Somme lady's will take full 9 weeks or so..
Lowering light intensity, EC in tank start to raise slowly so i will start to adjust according to condition. Currently 0.85EC is perfect strength i think

D72.
Second day of week eleven and the citrus smell is out of this world, trichomes are still clear and no amber anywhere, both ladies smell fantastic 🔥
D77.
Today I harvested the old lady, she struggeled a lot last weeks since nutrient lock out, then overwatering, tricomes were already milky so I choose to not wait for amber because of the root rot and botrytis risk.
On the trim she smelled fantastic and made big colas despite last three weeks stunted eating herself.
Young lady is one ore two weeks to go 🔥
D75. YOUNG LADY
She smell so good and trichomes are milky with some still clear and very little amber.
Today I turned lights off to armaguedon her next 48 hours, no more light no more water until harvest this friday morning.
D77. YOUNG LADY
Bro science or not she's been thirsty for 48h in the dark and between 15 and 18°C and today, last day of eleventh week, she's already trimmed and drying with her old sister. Smell was not profound as before the dark period but smelled good when trimmed.
I'll go for 10 days drying as her old sister and update total dry weight by then.

20.01. F1
Overview
The first week of flowering started off strong, with the plants transitioning into the 12/12 light cycle without any major stress. Structurally, they are well prepared for bloom and show a healthy overall appearance. However, this week also revealed a heavy thrips infestation, clearly visible through the characteristic small white spots on the leaves.
To counter this, I took action early and applied nematodes via watering on Monday, January 26th. This biological approach should significantly reduce the pest pressure over the coming days and prevent further damage as flowering progresses.
Summary
Despite the thrips issue, this week was mainly about stabilizing the flowering phase and reacting quickly to challenges. Catching the infestation early and responding with nematodes should pay off soon, and I expect visible improvement on new growth going forward. With the plants otherwise looking strong and well-established, the focus now shifts to recovery, consistency, and letting them fully settle into bloom. If all goes as planned, the coming weeks should show cleaner foliage and the first real signs of flower development.

Day 10:
They have been growing nicely. Beautifull green leafs, no deficiencies or stress.
I did some Defoliation and I'm planning to top some plants but not all of them since they make nice main colas as well.
Also nice roots so far, will let those grow for another 1-3 days before repotting them into 7L pots.
While doing that I will add some new clay for beneeth the pots to have a good run-off. I will add some mycorizza as well to improve the roots and
I will water them again with lots of Regulator(anti-stress) and Rhyzotonic( root stimilator).
Some days after that, they are ready to get pushed into flowering. Sativas like to grow twice and sometimes even more in size.
So the size which they are at the end of this week will be enough.
So at the end of this week you will see them being in 7L pots and in a bigger grow space under lots of lamps.
There are like 3-5 plants not growing nicely. Might have to kill them. I'm not going to waste time,energy,nutrients on those if they don't grow in size in a couple of days.
So might end up with just 235 plants.
Il update again at the end of this week.
Day 14:
I almost finished the rest of the grow room. I still need to adjust and replace the lamps some more and other things.
Did many defoliation below the plants. Thoose branches are never going to preduce nice and thick buds anyways. Such a waste of energy and nutrients.
Because of the removing of branches and leafs, They get a better airflow and better exposure of light as well.
So for now they look a little bit ugly haha and not so bushy anymore, but they will grow into fine looking ladies.
I kept 5 or 7 branches each plant and some bigger plants I even topped because I don't want them to stretch alot.
Another reason is that I want bigger stems. If other plants that didnt get topped, not improving stems I can still top them until the end of week 1 of flowering.
I'm putting them into flowering, by putting the lightschedule to 12hours of light and darkness. It will take a few days before they start preflowering.
The first buds will be seen in like 10-14 days.
Untill next week!

Day 21: The three girls have grown really big now, I'm so proud. They were measuring around 12-15 cm before I added dirt and now they are receiving 3-4 hours of direct sunlight/5-6 of non direct sunlight (total) since the UV index here has gone mad high.

I supper cropped the top 4" down toward lower level to promote auxins to redistribute, also starting 12-12 light cycle should be 8-9 weeks of flowering🙏 if she more than doubles in stretch,then I will need to switch to LED lights to finish

28 days!
Added the Mars Hydro SP3000 to tent at the end of the week to achieve a wider light spread.
The HBSS cross is still slow growing but also shows only a hand full of pre flowers, a pretty "long" veg I guess.
Maybe she will get a boost later on?
The GWK cross on the other hand I would say entered bloom some when this week, will mark the diary with bloom starting next week.
It is also growing really strong and fast, wiggling and stretching all the time, gotta tie it down a little more every single day and remove leafs shadowing lower nodes.
Increased EC somewhat with Yara Kristalon Orange (bloom) and will continue to do so next week.
Overall a very good week, even with the summer heat all goes just fine.
Values are average of the day.

Prepared 9 , 5 gallon fabric pots. Started presoak of beans at noon on August 31st. About 4 hrs then switch to pure water for 8 more hours. Around midnight switch to paper towel and plates. Set heat pad @86°. Prep solo cups with Light Warrior ff, on the 2nd of September check tails and plant in solos. Wet solos the day before and start heating them up on the mat in domes. After seeds pop in solos wet the center of 5gal pots until runoff and start heating main tent with the big pots in it. Transplant seedlingson or around September 7th. I'll try to remember to post a germination pic. I use rain water with 5ml calmag per gal with a ph 6.0-6.5 no adjustment to the ph is needed. That's how I water throughout the grow, unless I see a deficiency that needs immediate attention. Soil is a mixture of Fox Farm soils , I added pumice, perlite, peat, moss, ewc, compost, guano, langbeinite, dietamacieous earth and dry fertilizers like Dr EARTH Bud and Bloom, or Pennington tomato. Installing bamboo frames for LST. I'll LST and top once usually. Manifolding is fun but takes an extra 2 weeks for me so I have started to avoid tall strains. I've grown Wedding Cake a few times, also Chemdog and Gelato, but the N. Lights and Peyote WiFi are gonna be a new experience. No idea what PW will be, they were freebies won in the Seedsman 4-20 contest 2021. Pretty sure the Northern lights will be similar in size to wedding cake. It will all get sorted out over the next 7 weeks. Ill move them around until a conopy looks good. That 2x4 tent is mainly for germinating seedlings and drying harvest but can also be useful for overfolw or quarantine. The 4x4 is taller plants. The 3x5 with that vioer spectra 480w light is bad ass but does have limits on total plant height, really really strong light.Alright that's it, I'm back with no name or gender changes, had some success and failure here before, I expect that trend to continue.I'll be checking your darlings out. 8/2 added a few more beans to the paper towels. These old beans from GOG seem to be bad, probably due to the factory seed pack. They are blister packs with plain card board backing, the plastic is heavy butvonly on the top for protection from crushing. Obviously not good for storage , so much for trying to maintain humidity.
Added six more chemdog millionaire and 4 more Northern Lights beans to the paper towel for germination last night so far all these chemdogs and northern lights haven't germinated. The wedding cakes spouted then died before the tails were a quarter inch long. I've never had so many fail. This is gonna take a while but I'll eventually find some beans that aren't full of dust. Garden of Green love ya but this is bad. Update September 7th I've added- 3 Black Sugars, 6 White Widows, 5 Hellfire OG, all failed they are just dry husk that sink and stay on the bottom of a glass with water. Out of 60 or so seeds I think 6 germinated and 4 actually became seedlings. Stating over with. 5 Seedsman Gelat OG feminized and 5 Seedsman Amnesia FAST feminized pre soaked last night then started paper towel method at 5am today. Still have 5 of 9 pots that are empty. What a fucking ordeal.im just gonna continue with what is up already and say day 1 was Sept 12. That's close enough for this mess.

Buenas tarde familia, actualizamos el diario de las skunk de Zambezaseeds, y es que estoy tan sorprendido , es una cepa que produce flores muy muy compactas, sigue floreciendo con lo cual sigo regándolas solo agua ajustando el ph a 6,5 .
Temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros, 1/3 anda algo sobre fertilizada de las últimas semanas las 2/3 están como la seda , aún así todo pinta fenómeno tengo muchas ganas de cosechar y probar esta variedad y ya queda menos , pasen buen finde semana fumetillas.

Its been a while but all is well, the red light only seems to have encouraged lots of new growth. But I think I'm going to stick with 25-50% blue spectrum and 100% red for the finish.
I'm kind of disappointed that she has no distinguishing smell, but she was bred for resistance to PM specifically. All the good stuff will come once i have stabilized consistent PM resistance.
(Work in progress)
Then the good stuff will be worked in..... If needed.
Ps.
I do believe it will likely be 12+ weeks of flowering to finish
(Hope she has a racy/trippy sativa side) fingers crossed🙏
