Spring 2021

7/4 Got some updates to the sensor code. I can now deploy separate devices from the same codebase with config. The hard part is that the network settings should be dhcp, but could be static, thats just prone to issues. But the local dns record does not get picked up by InfluxDB for the scraper. So I need to set them manually by ip address and if that changes I need to update the scrapers. The flowering auto girls are doing well. I have gotten better with the watering by ensuring I give them 1/2 lt at a time. I am doing a nute, then a h20 w/ wetting agent, then a recharge session. Like every 2-3 days. No more than 3. They dry out too quick in the 5 gal fabric pots. Got some waxed paper going to try lining the sides with that on next grow in 5 gals. Taking some ideas from the living soil fabric pots. I think there is 3 weeks left on GSC. She is looking good and got a little dank on her, but not too much. I can see some trichs on the sugar leaves just starting to show. The Zkittles OG is not showing this yet. The CDB is showing pistil hairs. The White Widow is not showing signs of flower yet. 7/7 Not much to do today. Did water / Nutes yesterday. Light trimming of leaves blocking bud sites. Made a trellis for the CBD from bamboo and skewers. Trying this no stress cup training on the WW as the 2 main tops stretched super high maybe 4-6" and want the sides to catch up. I have seen one person try this and it was on for one day and the plant pushed the sides up to be more even with the tops. I know WW stretches alot but this one blasted up after recovering from topping. Overall I think I like the topping on photos, seems to do good with betting skinny plants bushy. It takes longer in veg though so another approach that I have heard talked about is treating photos like autos. 2 week veg then straight to flower. CBD is on week 10 or 11 I think and has been topped 3 times. I like the shape and the even canopy I am getting with topping but that veg time if she were not an experiment to play with I think I would prefer not to veg for so long. I will take the cup off the WW to see how she responded this evening. The auto girls are doing good. Just keeping up with watering. Some rust spots on lower leaves, I most likely pumped too much nutes in. I have an order from build a soil coming in. Going to try an experiment the next run. 15 gals X 3 1 build-a-soil, 1 happy frog, 1 ocean forest. I want to try these all with the same genetics to see differences with soils. I will try to do all three the build-a-soil way / living soil. The clones are doing ok, I have only seen one root on #2 an no more. I think the environment is not super great for them. Maybe too cool? The #1 clone is in a small pot with Ocean Forest. She is doing ok, I wish I had more sand for her but I am out. I do not think I will keep her around. I will keep working on taking clones on photos as I grow to just learn and get more consistent at it. Once I get lighting in the 4x3 with the clone compartment it may help. I need 2-3ft lights in there and another fan to exhaust air. Not top priority atm though.
