Hello Growmies,
As we conclude week 8 with our Epic Buzz trio, the grow space is a vibrant testament to the diligent care and attention we've poured into our cultivation practices. Each plant, with its individual shape and form, reflects the precise techniques that have been employed. The internodal spacing is particularly impressive, indicative of a successful vegetative period and setting the stage for a robust flowering phase.
Nutrition and lighting remain meticulously managed, with PPFD values sustaining an optimal range to support the plants' increased energy needs. Alga Bloom, part of our carefully balanced nutrient mix, continues to fortify the plants as they begin to focus their efforts on bud development. We've also stayed vigilant on pest control; the appearance of "a" fly led to an immediate and effective trapping response, confirming our proactive measures are keeping potential issues at bay.
The environmental data from the past week shows some manual adjustments to the fan speeds—a reminder of the hands-on nature of grow room management. The weekly VPD chart reflects these tweaks, though they're quickly rectified, maintaining a conducive atmosphere for plant growth. The 24-hour chart echoes this stability, with only minor deviations, demonstrating our commitment to providing a consistent environment.
The uniformity of growth among the Epic Buzz variants is striking, as observed in the latest images. Their lush foliage and the efficient use of space under the SCROG net indicate a well-executed strategy, enhancing our optimism for the flowering stage.
As we forge ahead, we await with bated breath the flowering phase's full display. The consistent growth patterns, along with the strategic interventions such as fly trapping, ensure that our Epic Buzz plants are primed for a productive season. The unity and health of the canopy are not merely a sign of what's to come but a testament to our dedication to this cultivation journey.
Stay lifted,
Salokin
Super interest setup 👍 I take a seat and watch the show 😎 please keep us up to date with your settings because it's really interesting for me 😅
Good luck and happy growing growmie 🌱
@KrautFabrik, thanks for passing by and the kind words. Will keep you all updated on the settings once I get another extension to connect my heater and humidifier.
@Hologram, 😊, most definitely getting ready. I want to let them fade almost until the end and they are well non their way to this amazing super dark, almost black, purple; my last one showed as well towards the very end.

Una configuración muy chula para evitar la humedad ambiental
Yo lo que hago es aumentar la potencia / tiempo de encendido del extractor. Llego a mantenerlo por debajo de 55% (mi humedad ambiental exterior es de alrededor del 60%
Si con la extracción no puedes controlar la humedad, lo que te recomendaría para controlar la humedad es colocar un deshumidificador en la sala / armario de cultivo
Como eres MUY habil tienes varias opciones:
- Conectarlo al TrollMaster para que se encienda el deshumidificador cuando se supera el % humedad deseado
- Conectarlo a una regleta con sensor de humedad y configurar el % humedad deseado
- Conectarlo a una regleta inteligente y apagarlo / encenderlo a tu antojo
Siento no poder ayudarte con tu duda de como conectar el motor PWM de 5 fases al controlador TrolMaster. Se escapa mis conocimientos
@nonick123, hi Buddy, so yesterday night I increased my fan speed manually by 10% (from25% to 35%) and it did wonders until now, managed to get an extra -15% of in humidity down from 75% down to 60% humidity. Will post the chart shortly. So it actually looks like the extraction only could work once controlled by the tent x and no additional dehumidifier needed 🤞.
@nonick123, thanks for the detailed reply buddy, will try to stay up until 1 am and try to manually boost the inline fan, as the I fresh from mars hydro, does not react on my humidity at all , as what they advertise, it only reacts on temperature, even though I can set a humidity parameter.. Will invest into a proper inline fan once the next paycheck is in. As the extraction out the window at same extraction speed already gave me great results. So let’s see what happens once the fan is connnected to the controller. If that still won’t do the job I will decrease lung room RH, as I don’t have any space in the tent unless a plant won’t make it.
@Still_Smoq, thank you buddy, that means a lot :) tent-x…. I’m telling you, is maintaining my environment perfectly, never had such a granular control . Will definitely save for another one for my other tent. Fade is slowly kicking in so i guess 3 more weeks until full maturation. Time to prepare for the upcoming Barneys run:)
It’s difficult to keep that VPD perfect, the larger the plant the more easy it becomes. I believe greatest influence on it is outside humidity. Nonick123 is spot on!
@Still_Smoq, outside humidity would be up next, I would decrease lung room humidity, as I don’t have any space in the tents anyways. And then sucking in dry air should work too… let’s see first I need that fan connected to the controller before I would buy a dehumidifier big enough too tackle my lung room. Coming with the electricity bill of a dehumidifier running quite a bit.
@Still_Smoq, I am a data geek so a system like the tent x is definitely right down my alley. Only the inline fan missing and then we will be yet another step closer to Mother Nature. So far I like what the system is doing :)
@Fatnastyz, tried some popcorn buds yesterday and to me it’s the second pheno that I had that reminds me of runtz for some reason from a terpene profile at least…
@DeepWaterGrower, thank you buddy :) loving the expert set up:) UV/IR plus the controller work like magic, will probably upgrade the second tent as well, as soon as the funds are there….
