Introduction - Week 17|10 Summary -
Ensign's log, stardate 9494.73,
Garden is really starting to get a bit out of control. Ahhhh yea! Great week of growing!
This is the 3rd week under 12/12 but the first week of flower after the 2-week stretch.
Growth has been explosive to say the least. Buds also are developing quite nicely!
Been overly stoked on #4’s growth, but all phenos have been growing surprisingly well!
Been watering the clones and am stoked that a lot of them are going to make it! I may actually now have too many now… Oops!
Onwards to next week!

- [21:09]: Night check on the 4x4 flower tent.
--- Wow! The garden is looking like a jungle!
--- #1 is getting too close to the light again.
- [21:12]: Raised the light up a bit more.
--- Left enough room so I can still raise the light up a bit more.
--- Running out of vertical space!
--- Before the next cycle, plan to move the exhaust fan and carbon filter outside the tent.

--- Placed #1 back into the tent.
- [23:10]: Repeated this process for the rest of the clones that needed watering.
--- Found and watered two more phenos (#4 and OG#2).
--- Tried to keep the saturated weight around 325-330g

[END OF WEEK 17|10]
Very detailed diary. I like ur heater. Something I don't need but definitely want 1 lol..
Look forward to seen how you adapt this to pushing your grows forward.
@gottagrowsometime,
Thanks growmie! Yea, sometimes I can get a bit too detailed, but this is all just for fun!
Been using Ac Infinity's Thermoforge T3 heater for just over 2 weeks and have to say that it's the best! Highly recommend! The unit easily heats a 4x4ft grow tent along with my 10x10ft lung room. Keep in mind that it never snows where I live, but it can get pretty cold in the winter (Southern California - US). What's most impressive is that in combination with the Cloudforge T7, my overall weekly VPD averages have been a lot more stable! Also the day to night temp swings have been greatly reduced (less than 10 degrees/percent difference on the weekly temps/RH averages).
I see you're running Build-A-Soil.. Great company, products, ethics! The dude has a sweet youtube channel as well worth checking out if you haven't. Cheers good luck!
