Iโm leaving the city for 3-4 days, so I need to prepare enough liquid for the upcoming period.
Mixed a 60-liter solution with 2ml AN Connoisseur AB + 0.3g Big Bud per liter. The liquid temperature is 19.8ยฐC.
Cleaned the water chillier and started it with a set temperature of 21ยฐC. With this adjustment, the liquid will fluctuate between 21ยฐC and 22ยฐC before the cooler activates.
Ladies, take care while youโre home alone!

The external temperature is in summer values, and the temperature inside the room and the grow box is starting to rise.
Unfortunately, the window air conditioner has stopped working, and this happened just when itโs most needed.
To reduce the temperature in the grow box, Iโve dimmed the reflector to 60% light intensity. Better to have less light than overcooked buds, right?
After being away for 3 days, I first replaced all the filters and topped up the reservoir with more liquid.
In a few days, I plan to completely empty the reservoir, clean it, and start with a fresh, clean nutrient mix.
Although I initially intended to exclude Silica from the next watering, due to the high temperatures, Iโve decided to keep it in the menu throughout the entire next week (6th week of flowering).
Before leaving for my trip, I filled the 60L reservoir with nutrient solution at an EC of 1.4, while the initial level was 1.28EC and 45 liters less than what I started with.
The ladies are still drinking their nutrients happily, and the nutrient strength has slightly decreased, which is excellent!

Week 4 off Flowering in Summary
120 litter off RO water,
210ml+210ml AN connoisseur A+B, 18g Big Bud Powder, 45ml Growth Technology Liquid Silica
65kW electricity in total for light, Pumps and AC Infinity Fans. 60kW for Light + 2kW Dehumidification + AC Infinity ventilation
Week start @ 1.38EC, nutrient strength., keep strength @ 1.3 till the end of the week
Girls progress great all time, Wedding Cheesecake have two pheno, really like buds on one girl. Hard buds with tropical scents.
Tropicana Cookies fill bud sites this week a lot, Purple Lemonade is going to be tallest from all three stains. Nice bud formation also.
PH was stabile and move from 5.90 min to 6.2 max.
Light distance for this week - 50-55cm from tallest top , PPFD levels around 950 in center, trough whole week. Lowest reading 680 @ corner
Need to adjust light intensity, high temps outside
Temperature are from 23c at start off day to 26c max at some points. AC Infinity T6 extracting fan program in AUTO to kick in @ 26c
Unfortunately window AC is stop working, its hard to remove it from box right now, it will waith for harvest and after that i will see what to do
Night temps around 21-23c, dehumidifier work less this week. Outside humidity is low this week
Water temperatures in middle off week start to rise, refilling solution is cooled to bring temp back from 23-24 to 20c
Will see next week outside condition's, hope it will bring back temperatures a bit
Day RH is moved from 48% to 50% max, at night times drop to 40-45%

Great looking flower my man. You are one of the few growers on here I watch out for because there are so few of us who actually produce Quad A looking flower here on grow diaries & your's always surpasses my expectations ! Lovely to see, I can almost smell them & feel the thick smoke in my mouth from here !
Absoultey stunning Job WhiteEdge & a Perfect example of what grow diaries is for when it comes to showing the potential of breeder's Cultivars.
