Banned by Growdiaries Jessica Alba: Gorilla Zkittlez Auto Star

Conclusion: 1. The assisted LST technology proved to be highly effective. The tower was easy and cost-effective to assemble, as well as easy to disassemble. This provided flexibility in guiding stems during the vegetation and early flowering stages. Thanks to the tower, the main stem could be bent so that its growth aligned with that of the other plant parts. 2. The LED strip for illuminating the inner foliage turned out to be almost useless. Jessica got minor burns from the resistors, and I realized that controlling light contact within dense foliage is challenging. The strip was only useful for photography. 3. The automation of watering became a real breakthrough. Starting from the tenth week, I switched to a controllable pump, eliminating the need for early rising for watering and allowing for plant flushing right in the grow box. Highly recommended for soil cultivation. 4. Issues with pH water adjustment led to soil contamination with sodium. Although the plant was preserved until the end of flowering, the pH had to be significantly lowered. 5. As time passed, the pH of the prepared mixtures began to increase. It turned out that the problem lay in the local pH down producer. Switching to Terra Aquatica solved this issue. 6. Bottom lighting turned out to be very effective. The plant actively turned its chloroplasts towards the light source, and even the lower branches developed well. Ideas: 1. Refine the lighting system for the inner foliage. 2. Experiment with forced root aeration. This time there were fewer mistakes during the Grow, but the lack of experience affects the process. It seems that if everything is done without errors, the result will be even better. Although there are questions about the size of growbox - it's quite challenging to accommodate even medium-height strains in it, let alone the tall ones. In any case, need to grow and write about it in the diary :)
