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..

Up and running, everything smooth, growing a lot.
The lesson I got is that my space is just too small for 3 plants in 5 gal smart pots... will update the space soon and invest in a LED.
Started giving some TOP CANDY from Topcrop fertilizers, smells sweet as molasses...

Making butter is not very hard just time consuming but I very much enjoy making it. If you want really good butter you gotta cook slow and for long time. I ground 39 grams of my Granddaddy Purple and Purple Kush with 8oz (227 grams) butter. I decarbed the ground bud at 220 f for 40 minutes. While the bud is in the oven I melt the butter slowly with 1 cup of water. When butter is melted and the oven timer finishes add bud to butter and simmer for at least 8 hours, I did it for 12 hours. Never let boil! Add 1/4 cup water every 1-2 hours. After I will lay cheese cloth over plastic container and strain and squeeze all the goodness out. The leave in fridge over night, I squeeze the sides and drain excess water from below and butter is all ready. Thanks for checking out my butter recipe. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!

A very sunny week that made the plants double in size and grow healthier. I didn't water once this week and the plants are good with it, thanks to @MadeInGermany. Pre-flowering stage has started this week and each day I can see more and more pistils.
As I expect the plants to stretch the following 2/3 weeks, I thought some little training would help. So I taped a couple leaves downwards in each plant-the ones that blocked sunlight from sidebranches, that will be bud sites in the future-.

Unfortunate Week...
Honey cream had a couple of "budrot" spots forming due to droplets of water dripping into the flower and not drying (99%humidity nights)...
Thankfully those buds were cut down and she doesn't seem to be producing any more "budrot"..
Apart from that, the smell is amazing on her.
Power Flower is going nicely too, but seems to not have too much smell...

Beautiful pair of phenos of Badaz og cheese very excited about what strain is gonna offer me in terms of quality buds, so excited to see what is every of this 2 phenos gonna be like, I really hope that both of them have the exact terpenes profile and the same potency! Let's keep on working! We'll the ladies have been Transplanted on February 2nd after 17 days since planted, they were very big and the pot was completely conquered by strong roots as you can see, now both of them are in their new 11l pot home let's see how they keep developing! 💛❤️💚🔝💎

Week 4 Report: Big Cheese Auto Flourishing in Autopilot Mode!
Hey there, fellow cultivators! It's that time again – Week 4, and our Big Cheese Auto is stepping into a new phase of autonomy. This week, I introduced the Autopot system, letting our green friend decide when and how much to drink. It's like giving her the keys to the watering kingdom, and she's embracing the freedom beautifully.
First and foremost, a hearty shoutout to Seeds Mafia for gifting us with genetics that keep on giving. The resilience and vigor displayed by our Big Cheese Auto are a testament to the quality seeds we started with.
Now, let's dissect the nutrient symphony that's been playing in the background:
Regulator (0.15ml/L): Our humidity maestro continues to dance with the elements, ensuring a stress-free environment for our plant. The monoclinic acid is working its magic, and our Big Cheese Auto is sipping contentedly in her newfound freedom.
Calmag (0.25ml/L): Calmag, our nutrient bodyguard, remains on duty. This week, it's all about maintaining that structural integrity as our plant starts gearing up for more vigorous growth. Strong stems, sturdy leaves – the foundations of greatness.
All-in-One Liquid (1ml/L): The NPK trio in the All-in-One Liquidstoped as the pellets on the soil s are now available and are the backbone of our nutrient regimen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – it's a growth party, and our Big Cheese Auto is the VIP. This all-in-one soil simplifies our feeding routine, letting us focus on the art of cultivation.
Start Boost (0.25ml/L): Start Boost, the architect behind our root cathedral, is still in play. Those micronutrients are like construction workers building a solid foundation for our plant's future. The roots are thriving, and our Big Cheese Auto is standing tall.
Aptus Mycor Mix: The underground alliance of mycorrhizal fungi and roots is establishing a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic. It's like having a secret society beneath the soil, enhancing nutrient uptake and fortifying our plant's foundation.
NutriSpray by Aptus Holland: Introducing a new player to the nutrient team – NutriSpray. Packed with organic surfactants and a microelement cocktail (Mn, S, Zn, Fe), this foliar spray is like a spa treatment for our leaves. The horse chestnut extract binds with microelements, creating a protective shield that stays on leaves for up to two weeks. It's like a force field against nutrient deficiencies.
How NutriSpray Works: The horse chestnut extract binds to microelements, creating a protective shield. This shield ensures the nutrients stay on leaves, allowing for a slow release over two weeks. Additionally, it thins vascular fluid, facilitating faster nutrient transport within the plant.
How to Use NutriSpray: Dilute with water (2ml per 1L), and spray the entire leaf surface. For our indoor oasis, I sprayed during weeks 1, 3, and 5 of bloom for general nutrition.
Our training efforts continue to pay off. Low Stress Training (LST) by bending leaves is shaping our plant into a work of art. The canopy is becoming more even, optimizing light exposure for future buds.
The transplant into the spacious 15 L pot is proving to be a smart move. The roots are spreading their wings, exploring the nutrient-rich soil, and our Big Cheese Auto is reaping the benefits with each passing day.
As we move into the next week, the excitement is palpable. The Autopot system is in full swing, and I can't wait to see how our Big Cheese Auto takes the reins of her own hydration destiny.
Once again, a huge thanks to Seeds Mafia, Aptus Holland, Grow Diaries, and our amazing community. This journey is a collective effort, and your support is the fuel that keeps us growing.
Let's continue to cultivate greatness together!

This is the first time for me growing an auto and Fastbuds genetics. I'm honestly surprised, this genetic is strong af and reacts very well with LST. The growing overall was really easy. Plagron and Biobizz nutriments are always on top! During flowering period the plant was really smelly, hash vibes. The charras that I've obtained after harvesting the plant was creamy and powerfull!

August 18, Day 28. Had to flush on Friday due to nutrient lockout. There were purple stems which caught my attention to a possible nutrient deficiency. Coupled by the dark green older fan leaves and bright green of new growth, my Apera TDS meter confirmed nutrient lockout. Kaboom was flushed a total of 4 times Friday night, then foliar fed at 25% strength the next morning. She was given 1.1 liters of pHd water since the top inch was already dry despite flushing the night before. I am taking her thirst to mean she is recovering well. I plan on resuming the GH least aggressive feed schedule tomorrow and will begin feeding with every watering. Now that she's on the mend from the nutrient lockout I can tell she's thirstier than what she used to be, I'm taking that to mean she's hanging in there.
Friends, growmies, cousins, comrades, colleagues and cultivars. Updates last week were minimal because this plant mama came down with COVID. Flushing a plant during COVID fever is no joke. Stay well and healthy everyone.
August 19, Day 29. Fed at least aggressive strength today until 25% runoff. Included a new supplement to the nutrient line up, silica. Today is the first time I use it so I went easy and used the weakest dose. Plant has 5 main sites so far, yahoozie. To top a second time? No se todavia, deja lo pienso jajaja
August 21, Day 31.Topped one more time, clipped the tallest point to give the others time to catch up. I know I will need to defoliate a tiny bit, soon, but I'm a bit scared to remove either too much or a mega vital leaf. I'll watch videos about it and aim for next week. I sprayed the top inch with pH'd water and will feed and water tomorrow morning.
August 22, Day 32. Fed and watered, no recharge since I used it on Day 29. As I repositioned the kabob sticks, I noticed a couple of milestones - she is in the very beginning stages of forming pistils and she is beginning to smell. I plan on keeping her in veg for at least 2 more weeks, hopefully this isn't super ambitious for a plant named Kaboom lol 😂
August 24, Day 34. I checked on Kaboom and found that the top inch was totally dry so I fed and watered her. I used everything except recharge, but will use it at next feeding since I'm aiming for 10 days in between applications. I think Kaboom is looking fabulous

This is week 2 from our of the humidity dome by the way (more details to come in the week 1 diary). In week 2 these girls are looking very good! Very nice color overall and nice growth. The clones clones I cut before switching mom to flower are taller, but the ones I cut after switching to flower are bushier.
There are 7 clones of Cherry by Elevator Supply Co, these are a High CBD Hemp plant that I am growing and will continue to grow for producing CBD products. I am also a licensed Hemp Farmer. Then I have a clone of DinaMed CBD+ from DinaFem and 2 DinaMed CBD+ seedlings. Next, I have 3 clones of Cream & Cheese CBD from Seedsman and 1 clone of Critical+ from DinaFem. Last I have 2 CBD Medi Kush from Spliff Seeds. I have a separate diary for the CBD Medi Kush from Spliff Seeds, check it out 👍
I don't plan on feeding anything for a while and let the plants use up the nutrients in the soil.
In the video, the babies are featured starting at the 3:15 mark
