The outside temperature getting lower this days. Its help a lot to maintain temps in grow box
I hope, as per the forecast, temperature will remain low during the upcoming week.
The ladies are looking fantastic. Purple Lemonade is slowest on flowering but i think it will be rewarding to wait

Today, we had a storm accompanied by a power outage. Nothing serious, just a few hours. The temperature and humidity remained within appropriate values.
Upon the return of power, the DH48-S relay timer, which controls irrigation, failed again. This has happened for the third time in the last 4 months.
Unfortunately, I couldnβt react immediately, so the ladies were without water again for a few hours.
Iβve ordered a TrolMaster program device and additional sensors AMP-3 for pH, EC and humidity, and temperature control. No more messing around!
Water consumption is gradually decreasing, and electrical conductivity of the water is slowly rising. Iβm starting to reduce the strength of the nutrient solution.
Each subsequent tank refill will be at approximately 1.0EC.
The outdoor temperature is still cooler; letβs hope it stays that way for another week or two! π±βοΈ

Tropicana Cookies is the only one that got scars in the form of slightly burnt leaf tips. Itβs not too severe; due to the lack of water, some mineral residue remained directly at the root.
All in all, it could have been worse. I hope the timer wonβt deceive me again until my TrolMaster program device arrives.
One Tropicana Cookies and one Wedding Cheesecake will finish during the next week, so Iβll slowly start preparing them for harvest.
Purple Lemonade and one Wedding Cheesecake will continue flowering into the ninth week, but theyβll be the largest ladies in this batch.
All the ladies look and smell fantastic, and the buds are already firm to the touch, especially the Wedding Cheesecake.
Starting tomorrow, Iβll gradually reduce the nutrient strength and light intensity. Iβll make an effort to keep the temperature around 23-24Β°C.

Week 7 off Flowering in Summary
105 litter off RO water,
150ml+1800ml AN connoisseur A+B
53kW electricity in total for light, Pumps and AC Infinity Fans. 51kW for Light + 1kW Dehumidification + AC Infinity ventilation
Week start @ 1.21EC, nutrient strength., keep strength @ 1.1-1.2 till the end of the week
Tropicana Cookies is gonna be harvested next week!! Also think one Wedding Cheesecake is waiting harvest in next week
PH was stabile and move from 5.90 min to 6.2 max. From end off the week PH is start to dropping
Light distance for this week - 50-55cm from tallest top , PPFD levels around 900 in center, trough whole week. Lowest reading 680 @ corner
Temperature are from 20c at start off day to 24.5c max at some points.
Night temps around 19.5-20c. Outside humidity is generally low
This week i have DH48-S timer failure, third time in this month. Ordered TrolMaster program device for that
Day RH is moved from 45% to 55% max, at night times drop to 45-48%
Continue in next week, lowering temperatures, EC strength and humidity

Very nice! Looking great! & WOW what a hectic set up you have there, it's AWESOME! Can only imagine the yields you will get with it & all that wattage! & Not to mention your scroging as well witch should add another 30% to 40% increase. Great genetics with Fast Buds FF, I'm currently growing a few of the same strains, but unfortunately didn't have to much luck germinating wedding cheesecake, although I did have 1 started but she died ( mostly my own fault). I'm currently growing the rest of the FF line up & have grown Tropicana Cookies a few times before & let me tell you, you are in for quite a treat my friend! Super dank, resinous & most potent strain I've grown & also smoked for as long as I can remember! She produces very dense, sticky , smelly buds! Of the 2 phenotypes I've grown, 1 had nice big buds & the other were maybe half the size but the quality of both were very similar, 100%. Much love for the rest of your grow.π & Also what are your thoughts on the AC Infinity T6 Automated extraction fan system? As I have been interested in getting one to keep my temps & RH at a more consistent level.
@HIAZ_urbanbudfarmer,
T6 is great, powerful for bigger tents, its great when combine with controller 69 pro, WIFI connection for creating automation tasks. Nothing to complain, quiet, powerful, small power consumption, automated, all in all stellar product really. You can program it with automation without 69pro controller, just you don't have smart app for tracking...
@HIAZ_urbanbudfarmer,
Thanks for comments! Tropicana is also my favorite in this grow, can wait to try it! All FF strains that i grow right now are awesopme and fast growing plants.
