Had to supercrop tallest blueberry. Using the supplemental blue and deep red HIGROW lights to raise par to aid the smaller plants.
Reservoirs are getting low and will be filled tomorrow
Defoliated the largest blueberry and decided to just do the whole tent one last time before harvest. Largest blueberry might end up being all popcorn buds. I will let it go longer than the others to see what happens.
Stretching seems about done and now just fattening up.
Par is around 900 for the top of the largest blueberry. 800 for the largest Purplematic. Around 650-700 for all the smaller ones. Humidity roughly 45% pre-defoliation. Will drop to maybe 38-40 post-defoliation.
Co2 sits around 900. I exercise for about an hour every other day near the tent and my Co2 meter spikes around 3000 😃
Hard to tell difference in smells. Everything smells slightly skunky when opening the tent and then at the slightest touch a pungent pine. Nothing too out of the ordinary.
Bud size, the Solomatics are tiny. Lots of leaves and they are frosty. Will possibly just have to fresh-frozen them to get the most out of the leaves. They are supposed to be highest cbd levels topping at around 21%.
Purplematic is my favorite structure. Blueberry is a close 2nd but there is just too much variability between them. The purplematics are a little different in size, but the structure is the same. Consistency is a plus in autos. No time to tame and sculpt like a photo-period to get them to even out.

Reservoirs filled. Changed out half of what was left in each tote (1-3) gallons. Filled with fresh nutrient mix 1600ppm 5.9ph. Will probably just add water to dilute for flush from this point on. Not too worried about pushing the largest blueberry to fatten up. If I really feel up to it I might throw it in a 7gallon bucket and let it finish. Not sure though. It just wasn't a good roll of the dice for a sog res sharing grow. Fought with it every step so far instead of taking it out. I don't think the others suffered much because of the supplemental bulbs and the ability to just tilt the net pots to point the plants in whatever direction gets them the most space.
