VPD: VPD was 0.6 - 0.8 with 0.8 kPa avg Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C Cups stayed on until end of W1. Put holes in cups to allow humidity to let out but stay in range. Light: 175 PPFD / 12.6 DLI Watering: I spray surface when it gets dry. Not enough to really soak into the substrate, just enough to create a little humidity. Aerated water w/o pH modifiers. Nutes/Treatment: None Other: Fast growing and sturdy. Giving it wind training now on level 1 on AC Infinity fan. Just enough for jiggle :)

VPD: VPD was 0.8 - 1.1 with 1.1 kPa avg Tried to keep temps above 20 C but below 26 C Took off domes to wind train. I'm getting another system made to house these early vegers. Light: 175 PPFD / 12.6 DLI -- 275 PPFD / 17.82 DLI Transitioned the tent to 18 hours for these photoperiods. I have an auto flowering at the same time. Watering: Watered gently about 50 mL 2x a week and while letting the cups sit in a drip pan with water (24 hours, 2x a week) in it to moisten the lower half of the cup. Aerated water w/o pH modifiers. Nutes/Treatment: None Other: Stem is thickening! Loving the vigorous growth

It looks a little over watered so I'm giving it more time and figuring out what it likes. Nutes/Treatment: Transplanted into 70:30 Coco: Worm Castings and then topped off with plenty of perlite. Mixed 1 Tblsp of GG All purpose organic nutrients. Other: Transplanted into 1 gallon after 2 weeks post germ. Healthy root system. Red branch stems. They are hard as well. Idk if this is stress or genetics...

VPD: VPD was 1.0 - 1.2 with 1.1 kPa avg Added heater to intake. 25-27 C Light: 475 PPFD / 20.52 DLI Watering: Watering with 6.5 pH aerated water 2 L in bottom feeding basin once every 2 days. I give it during night to avoid excess humidity during day cycle. Compost tea once every 4 waterings. Nutes/Treatment: Other: Using jute rope to LST to continue evening out canopy. Flipped to flower. Did a day on 15 hours then 12 hours. Took clones the same day I started the flip so I wanted it to be easy on her. lovely structure. big yet fairly even canopy. No haircut 4 plants in a 3x3 makes it very low VPD because of the amount of water in the top layer and/or bottom feed basin, as well as the transpiration from the plant itself. I only have a 4 inch inline so I wonder if a 6 inch will help this issue more.

Nutes/Treatment: Other: I missed 2 days of watering but not back to back misses. the next day this plant hermed for about 4 days straight with about one herm a day. when I was getting ready to make the call to chop the next day, there wasn't a herm in sight. Still hermless so pushing another week. Didn't calmag this week and the leaves are dark green so I may want to continue using calmag to pH down once in a while so I'm not only giving it phosphoric acid everyday to drop the pH.

Week 19. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Post 10 day dry + 2 week cure: I put weak only because it hermed like crazy towards the end. Seemed like brief periods of too high or low vpd would cause it to herm the next day. If maintained ideal conditions for every minute, then it probably would not have hermed. Could be from the fact it's a brand new genetic but who knows? Good mil. Its a little more dense than a normal bud. Not a bad leaf to bud ratio but definitely more than I would like. Taste is immaculate. It's a very "dark cherry". It's almost a dark note that sits with the cherry, but the cherry is what coats the mouth :)

I spent £150 on a fairly decent dehumidifier. It has a nozzle on the side so you can drain off into a bigger capacity container. This fixed all my humidity problems and allowed me to dial in my VPD 😸 I empty the bucket every few days. The dehumidifier is set at 60% humidity and it does a decent job at holding it, it does fluctuate a few percent either way, but it’s of little concern 😸 I used to have to deal with high eighties, low nineties. Now I’m coasting 😎😸

@munchoBorkas, I’ve got the humidity under control, but there’s very little I can do about the heat 🤷‍♂️

@PersonalSmok3s, can you send the name of it? I have 2 inline fans pulling out air right now and it is working but its louder than i'd like. My current dehumidifier doesn't get the job done :/

I honestly almost bought a pack of these when they first dropped, I changed my mind last minute and got a pack of the Black Honey Butter instead 😸 Looking forward to seeing how these turn out 🌱💚

@PersonalSmok3s, that looked so good! the deal breaker for me on this was the name honestly! a "Black Moonflower"... that's tough as fuck
