Setup is missing of an INDOORAIR 100 fan or a Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 120 for the inlet ventilation and should be installed in corrispondence of the circular passive air entry of the tent right below the thermo-hygromether positioning.
Air is extracted by a Vents Fan Quite Line 100 on upper side of tent.
Planning for further Projects Mimosa Cake to cut a 3Lt Airpot at 10cm height and try as new pot.
This is not the first micro growing experiment: aim is to use all the available space in restricted resources in order to obtain min. 50g dry for consumption or corresponding equivalent wet weight of high shelf buds for hash extraction and scheduling the optimal ratio of essential life components for the target, as well as the smartest way of adopting LST, HST, and environmental control, according to the growth development of the strain and plant itself, so as to take advantage of all the available space.
Successfully micro growing results have been achieved in d.i.y. space buckets as well as in the same tent in use, in the Homebox Ambient R80s and windowsill growing modes at northern latitudes in indoor conditions; on balconies, terraces and rooftops at southern latitudes in outdoor conditions.
——————————————————————
Medium contains Biochar and Rhizoma.
Sub-irrigation is performed as way of watering since the very beginning by bottled water.
During first week of life nutrients have been added to water separately each one in a dedicated bottle of related bottled water.
Plant apparently suffered of overwatering on day #10 affecting leaves.
As a matter of fact: overwatering could lead to appearance of black spots on leaves but, the plant never showed visible structure or strength weakness typical of overwatering and the yellow emerging colour on already affected leaves is making reliable the hypothesis of bad quality water.
Despite all the used bottles are from the same brand with same label, purchased in the same store all together, each one reports unique values totally different one from each other, affecting the original calculations.
Water monitoring resulted as:
excessive amounts first bottle:
Chloride (185 mg/L) +85mgL
Hydrogen Carbonate (120 mg/L) +20mg/L
Sodium (135 mg/L) +85mg/L
insufficient amounts first bottle:
Potassium (2 mg/L) -98 mg/L
Calcium (20 mg/L) -20mg/L
Magnesium (7 mg/L) -23mg/L
excessive amounts second bottle:
Hydrogen Carbonate (160 mg/L) +60 mg/L
insufficient amounts second bottle:
Potassium (0,5 mg/L) -99,5 mg/L
Magnesium (2,5 mg/L) -27,5 mg/L
excessive amounts third bottle:
Sodium (93 mg/L) +43 mg/L
insufficient amounts third bottle:
Potassium (1,5 mg/L) -98,5 mg/L
Magnesium (4 mg/L) -26 mg/L
Calcium (13 mg/L) -27 mg/L
Assuming we were using only one, the different solutions of water and nutrients were provided to the plant without any ratio criteria or dosage that could keep in mind those discrepancies.
Water values adjustment is now being performed by mixing different bottled water sources, in order to reach optimal range.
Alternative bottled water is under evaluation for replacement as well as distilled water and rain water.
Tap water is an excluded choice as no analyses of additional Nitrate, Fluoride, Hydrogen Carbonate, Chloride, Sulfate, or any other potentially toxic elements, are available.
Cannacure Foliar Spraying is being performed, as well as Foliar Feeding and PH balancing.

@cannasaxx, Hi!
Thanks , the plant gets wet under those ropes and asks for more and more! The project consists of growing in a bigger pot using the same tent adopting SCROG or JOG techniques for better result.
@se7en, Hi! Thanks for the message , really appreciated! In micro growing it is extremely difficult to maintain stability as the plant transits from low activity stages to strong sudden development phase , as well we should consider that roots once expanded have reduced space. The problem could be related to Calcium Magnesium low absorption due to the catalization activity performed by Biochar and Coco Coir in medium: adding strong quantities of CalMag supplement (within the limit of over feeding) helped, making healthier green leaves. Check new pics you will see how adding blooming PK nutrients in combination with Calcium Magnesium gave a beautiful green healthy colour ! pH is under control and stabilised both on soil and in nutrients solution to 6.0 sharp.
The new self feeding system alternated with 2 days of drought helps stabilising the flower growth on the branches where the plant is naturally taking what is missing from excessive fan leaves. In the new pictures you can see how defoliation, for example, has been adopted on leaves from which plant totally absorbed nutrients, with positive results on flowers and related fan leaves.
