Mimosa Cake Auto (Fastbuds)

A note on last weeks goals: - I continued to play with the CO2 generators in my tent to increase my concentration to as high as 1050 -1100 ppm. At the end of this grow I may install a rotometer and a CO2 bottle instead of making my own. Please see photo #8. - I continued the LST training this week. Instead of trying branches down I started using stainless steel nuts and bolts to tie at the END of branches to help hold them down. I ended up taking a lot of vegetation off of the plant this week,she seemed to be choking herself off with how thicc she got lol. To see photos of my LST training and defoliation please see photos 1-4. I wanted to show off some of my grow gear this week too. As a professional process operator I feel my success lies within my tools & corresponding procedures. -Photo 6 shows my microbial additives I've used to help keep my soil alive. -Photo 7 shows my watering gear. I use pH pens to accurately gaute my hydrogen ion concentration in my water. I also use TDS meters and EC meters to monitor my water and a digital thermometer to check its temp. I take my plants out of my tent and put them in the big tote to allow for the water to fully drain before putting them back inside the tag tank. I also get a chance to fully inspect each plant in this process. -Photo 8 is my CO2 meter -Photos 9 and 10 show my venting set up for my tent. I put two holes thru my wall to allow me to put the piping in thru the other room. I keep my exhaust on the FLOOR and my intake on the CEILING of my tent for maximum air movement and CO2 contact time. -Photo 10 just shows my humidifier and dehumidifier sitting outside my tent inside the room. Next week's goals: - Increase light intensity slowly - Continue LST and defoliation - fight the few fungus gnats that I can see These fungus gnats are driving me crazy.. if I pay them, will they go away? 🤣 all seriousness though, I think my homemade CO2 generators might be attracting them. Most my plants are really happy right now. The 2 youngest ones I had were mutations and I'm thinking about pulling them which is something I've never done before even when I've had a bad plant. Live and learn I guess! Happy growing everyone
