Just letting them do their thing atm really. I have added two chrysanthemum plants for protective co-planting for bug protection.
One seems to be doing a lot better than the other.
Oh also iv dimmed my light down to 20% ish…
UPDATE - SUNDAY 18TH JULY
Everything seems to be going ok. I need to refill the hempies reservoirs with water again but the 65 percent RH keeps them moist all the time anyway pretty much. The soil one isn't loving it so much so im going to do what I did last time and scrape away some of the wet soil around the top of the plant and replace it with really dry soil then the wet soil from below will wick up and it will dry out quicker. Thats thre plan anyway but that doesnt apply to this plant tbf!
UPDATE - I’m on my way to mainlining with four main lines at the moment. When they grow out and get tied down the offshoots will take over al create some killer colas!
Just started watching trailer park boys again and it’s well funny some of their grow hacks and just some of the myths by hey include about growing. Ah such jokes.
It’s so nice to be able to relax and know that even if I completely screw up this harvest which it doesn’t look like I’m going to, I have enough medicine to see me through till probably the end of the next grow. Getting a grow ahead is always good because then you can have the patience to actually let it dry and cure properly.
What are people’s thoughts on boveda packs? Iv been using them and I think they are good. They don’t eliminate the need for burping but they def speed up the curing process and with no stealing of terps or anything. Great product I think
UPDATE - TUES 27TH JULY
Im scared to say something isnt quite right with these hempies that are on drippers. iv been doing little and often do you thiunk maybe i should switch it up to my old watering pattern so a lot, not as often? or just ride it out a bit longer? anyone who is following this please leave a possible cause in the comments section.....that'd b super usefull.
something is totally fucked up here, im thinking of cutting my losses. I have shit loads of seeds so its no great loss. I would switch it to a normal soil grow!

Ok so same as my other diaries really. The inkbird environmental controls, although they could have SOME slightly more cannabis dedicated machinery, get major love from us. That’s what keeps everything running at the right temperature and humidity and the fact I can check through an app anywhere in the world and actually control what’s going on rather than just monitoring it is pretty cool.
By the way, my MARSHYDRO TSL-2000 is still only using 75% of its capacity and that’s probably too much for veg.
Update - 13th August
All good. Planted a chrysanthemum in the same pot as I’d run out of space and they are great for natural pest deterrents.
Added some ecothrive charge and have been adding it as a top dress.
UPDATE - All is well tbh, just hurt my tow so thats a bit of a problem bending down to do stuff but they are starting to take off now which is a relief. The two coco hempies irrigation system got all green and nasty where I hadnt been cleaning it. I have black tubing thats the same diameter to illl try that with the other spare one I bought thats actually branded and not a Chinese rip off!
Update - 23rd August
So nothing major happening in the grow. Just waiting for those buds to develop now!
One thing of note is if you put together an auto watering system make sure you don’t use clear tubing as it goes mouldy and green and gets clogged up.
I exchanged it for some black tubing of the same size and all is good.
Just awaiting some fat buds now!
Update - same as others really all is good as long as I irrigate every other day.
I just can’t wait to set up my next gravity fed system, pot in pot in pot hydro system. It does it all for you and is significantly cheaper than the auto pot system!
Am continuing to flush. Have been away from the site for a couple weeks so am catching up…Am just waiting for those trichomes to cloud up and look even more white and frosty!
Update
I think these are the fattest buds iv grown to date tbh. They are so wide it’s crazy. I defoliate quite heavily today on this plant as the canopy was getting crowded and yellow anyway so I simply removed them.
Looking good and seems to be flushing a little smoother than the soil plants but that is as expected really due to the coco’s air holding capacity.
I’m thinking of getting the 4 plant auto pot system for my next grow. It is precisely what I was going to build so it seems logical just to buy it. It’s not THAT expensive but I will have to swap out my two tent system for a single tent that actually takes up all the space. I think I will be able to place another few small autos on the edge of where the light is. I will have to add all my other lights in a row down the side of where the tsl 2000 is.
I must say, I really liked the output from my new light. I honestly think it really improved my grow.
It actually reminds me of when I changed from growing under a CFL to LED. It really stepped up the quality of the cannabis I am harvesting.
Now that I have cut the other two pla
