Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge / nonick123

nonick123 Day 1 (01/17): The seed has germinated! (+3 days) 💥 I turn on the cabinet lamp to PPFD 225 Day 2 (01/18): Strong and vibrant seedling Day 5 (01/21): The seedlings have stretched slightly, so I raise it to PPFD 300 Day 8 (01/24): The girls are showing roots at the bottom of the pot. They look strong! Nutrients by Gen1:11 - www.genoneeleven.com Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

nonick123 Day 10 (01/26): I weigh the pots and they are close to the weight of the substrate before watering. Watering with 150 ml of just H2O - pH 6.42 - TDS 200 PPMs The roots are coming out from the bottom. Need to transplant in 24 - 48 hours. Day 12 (01/28): Transplant day! 😁 Today we proceed to transplant the girls into their final 11-liter (3 gal) pot with PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE substrate. A bottom layer of clay pebbles is placed. The pot is filled with substrate using clean hands, breaking up the larger chunks so that the substrate is aerated and fluffy, without pressing down. An empty pot is placed to create the perfect shape of the pot where the seedlings are (see photos). It is filled to the top, and a first watering is done very slowly with 1 liter of H2O (Base TDS 200 PPMs) + Wholly Base 1.25 ml/l + Solid Green 0.5 ml/l + Rise Up 1 ml/l from Gen1:11. The final result is a solution with pH 6.35 - TDS 630 PPMs (I only had to raise the pH slightly from 6.10 to 6.35). After the substrate has compacted and settled (which is normal), it is filled with substrate up to the edge again. The seedling is taken out of its current pot (nice roots 😍) and placed in the final pot. Watering again with 0.5 L of the previous solution and placed in the cabinet adjusting the light to 300 PPFD (the same as before being transplanted). Let's see how it reacts to the transplant!

nonick123 Day 14 (30/01) The plant has reacted wonderfully to the transplant😍 Day 16 (01/02) It keeps growing as if it had never been transplanted. The combination of PRO-MIX HP with Mycorrhizae and Gen1:11 seems to be going great 😁 Day 18 (03/02) 6 days since the transplant and the plant is healthy, big, and strong 💪💪💪 Nutrients by Gen1:11 - www.genoneeleven.com Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

nonick123 Day 20 (05/02) It has been 8 days since the last watering. The PRO-MIX HP substrate feels fluffy to the touch even though the top is dry. Watering 1 Liter H20 + Wholly Base 1.25 ml/l + Solid Green 0.5 ml/l + Rise Up 1 ml/l from Gen1:11 - pH 6.23 TDS 660 PPMs Day 22 (07/02) We're going to try doing this cycle with LST. Day 23 (08/02) After +24 hours, the plant has reacted very well to LST. The lower branches have stretched, and the apical branch continues to stretch. Day 25 (10/02) I'm still making LST adjustments to open up the canopy. The plant is responding with a lot of vigor 😍💥 On this day, I added the TrolMaster TCS-1 Tent-X system to the tent. Day 26 (11/02). Watering 1 Liter H20 + Wholly Base 1.5 ml/l + Solid Green 0.75 ml/l + Rise Up 1.25 ml/l from Gen1:11 TDS 780 PPMs - pH 6.36 (minimal adjustment with pH+ to raise it from 6.2) The plant is progressing vigorously.

nonick123 I'm finding the TrolMaster TCS-1 Tent-X very useful since I can have a quick view of the temperature and humidity in real-time, as well as the last 24 hours and the last 7 days (week) This way I can adjust the extraction to have an ideal VPD, and have a screen that indicates if I'm in range, depending on whether I'm in the Vegetative Phase, Flowering, or Stress It's great to have a visual table/graph of VPD based on the phases. Check out the latest photos to see this interesting table!

With the incredible help of @miyaguiokpolilla, @dogdoctorofficial, and @growwithflow420, I did the recommended defoliation exactly after 21 days switched to 12/12 Defoliation tips - Remove less than 20% of the fan leaves and only the fan leaves - Remove the bottom third of the plant, including small branches. - Remove the fan leaves directed inward towards the plant. - Remove the fan leaves that shade the future buds. Day 56 (03/12) Waiting for some stress after defoliation... They have grown 2 centimeters in 24 hours 😍🚀 Day 57 (03/13) Watering 1.25 Liters H20 + Wholly Base 2.5 ml/l + Solid Green 2 ml/l + Early Flower 1.25 ml/l from Gen1:11 TDS 1043 PPMs - pH 7.0 The plants show a slight CalMag deficiency. I will raise the pH to 7.0 in this watering to improve bioavailability Day 58 (03/14) They continue their growth, the buds forming and the sugar leaves starting to fill with resin. It seems that the correction of the CalMag deficiency has been very effective! No more spots and the plants won't stop!

I also really like that you get a notification when the lights turn on since it has a built-in light sensor. This way, you can be sure when you can open the closet and that nothing electrical has failed to alter the delicate 12/12 schedule of our beloved photoperiod plants. It's a very interesting and recommendable system! 💧Nutrients by Gen1:11 - www.genoneeleven.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae 📊Controlled by TrolMaster TCS-1 Tent-X System Main Controller - https://www.trolmaster.com/Products/Details/TCS-1

nonick123 Before the summary, I have to say that the Tent-X controller from TrolMaster is amazing. I can see and control the VPD in real-time with my smartphone app. It's a marvel in this advanced flowering phase! 😍 _______________________________________________________________ Day 69 (03/25) Her sister Gorilla Cookies FF shows slight necrosis... I'm worried... Day 70 (03/26) Necrosis in Gorilla Cookies is very advanced in just 2 days. I talked to the great @dogdoctorofficial and he made me realize that I'm watering wrong... I've let the substrate dry out too much! (like in the vegetative phase) And since Gorilla Cookies FF is the biggest plant and needs the most water, it's too thirsty... I'm going to modify the watering patterns so that the problem doesn't persist in Gorilla Cookies FF or appear in the other plants! Watering 0.5 Liter H2O without nutrients. TDS 225 PPMs - pH 6.6 Day 71 (03/27) Watering 1.25 Liter H2O + Wholly Base 3 ml/l + Solid Green 1.75 ml/l + Early Flower 0.75 ml/l + Big Bloom 1.5 ml/l from Gen1:11 TDS 1150 PPMs - pH 6.2 Day 72 (03/28) The necrosis in Gorilla Cookies FF has stopped 😁 and the flowers keep growing. I notice some necrosis spots also in Wedding Cheesecake FF and decide to raise the lamp a bit. Now the PPFD at the apex is about 830 PPFD. Day 73 (03/29) Watering 0.5 Liter H2O without nutrients. TDS 225 PPMs - pH 6.6 Day 74 (03/30) Watering 1.25 Liter H2O + Wholly Base 3 ml/l + Solid Green 1.75 ml/l + Early Flower 0.75 ml/l + Big Bloom 1.5 ml/l from Gen1:11 TDS 1150 PPMs - pH 6.2 Day 75 (03/31) I detect slight necrosis in Purple Lemonade FF and in Wedding Cheesecake FF. I'm going to increase the distance of the lamp a bit to have a DLI of 37, just in case it's light stress. 💦Nutrients by Gen1:11 - www.genoneeleven.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae 📏Controlled by TrolMaster TCS-1 Tent-X System Main Controller - https://www.trolmaster.com/Products/Details/TCS-1

nonick123 This week, my TrolMaster has helped me a lot with the high temperatures we have in my area (something unusual for this time of year). The VPD is out of the optimal range, and I've had some peak moments with temperatures above 28 ºC. Thanks to having the TrolMaster, I've been able to react and bring in cooler air to the room where my cabinet is, lowering the temperatures by 2 degrees Celsius during the most critical moments, even leaving the window open all night to take advantage of the cool night air. It's great to have the TrolMaster in my cabinet! _________________________________________________ Day 83 (08/04) Watering 1.25 Liters H2O + Wholly Base 2.5 ml/l + Solid Green 1.5 ml/l + Big Bloom 1 ml/l from Gen1:11 TDS 1000 PPMs - pH 6.2 Day 84 (09/04) Cruising speed ON...

nonick123 First of all, I want to thank TrolMaster for the Tent-X equipment. It has taken the control of the environmental parameters in my grow tent to another level. It has allowed me to adjust the extraction levels as needed and manage temperature and humidity spikes that would have otherwise been impossible, as it sends a notification to your smartphone app when it goes out of the ranges you can define yourself! Also, having daily, weekly, and monthly graphs of temperature, humidity, and VPD parameters is amazing for tracking and continuing to improve! And lastly, the VPD chart that lets you know what range you're in is great. A highly recommended piece of equipment! -------------------------------------------- Day 90 (04/15) Wedding Cheesecake FF has a density and a delicious cheese and cookie smell!

Variety 💪Resistance A resilient plant, although it couldn't support the final weight of the buds, bending its branches. It needs support (bamboo stakes or similar) or a SCROG net. 🏋️Training: It has adapted well to the LST performed. 🌱Vegetative: A vigorous vegetative growth with a typical indica structure and a large central cola. 💐 Flowering: A quick transition to flowering (5 days from 12/12), a more contained stretch than its tent mates due to being a more indica-leaning phenotype, featuring a large central cola and equally dense satellites. Genetics: The summary would be an impressive terpene profile from the defined mix and very thick and dense buds with this indica phenotype. 👨‍⚖️Conclusion: A highly recommended strain! Let's see what flavors it surprises us with once it dries and cures!
