Critical

wildiary Strong little seeds, they were under the sun at first and stretched more than wanted. I took a week before there was a fan blowing on them and once that was added one fell multiple times before getting strong enough to stand in the breeze.

wildiary Topped this week at 5th node

wildiary Fully recovered from topping, nodes now alternating, starting to show strong secondary growth

wildiary Getting bushy now

wildiary Really starting to stink.

wildiary Fully showing sex now, two Males. womp-womp. The day before the balls became very prominent a rainpoint wifi scheduled automatic watering (drip) system was added. 10 gallons of water siphoned through the plants and into the basin floor overnight (triggered by first feeding / water-level of reservoir being above dripper/plant height). This was eventually fixed after a few more floods by adding a backflow valve connected to a tee valve on the output side heading towards the drippers. Now when the system turns off air is pulled from the one-way valve rather than the siphon starting. It's not pretty looking but it works. The rainpoint will be tested to keep the critical boys making pollen for another couple weeks. Once pollen is claimed we'll torture test them with the bloomspect ss2000 light (193W draw at 100%) by running 8" away at full power. A dry-vac is an essential tool for indoor gardening when it comes to automated watering/drippers going bad or hydro from past experiences.
