Minor defoliation of shade leaves and puny shoots. Attempting to steer the growth. Pruning and defoliating are pretty new to me. I can already see room for improvement.
Nice little yellow flowers forming.
Happy with the vigor of the strain. Still stretching.
Even the little plant in the tiny coco pot looks pretty happy. I think I will leave it in the tent rather than put it outside as originally planned curious to see what it does.
I have to say that despite the technical problems here and there, I like the continuous drip style of growing over the other methods.
They are looking pretty good. Noticeable growth every day. PPM has dropped quite a bit, so they are eating well.
I had a few nirvana moments where temp/humidity were in the VPD zone, but it is fleeting.
I have been happy with the tent temps lately, hovering around 26° during the day. Today it is 27° outside and in the tent is 30° despite turning the exhaust up.
And weather will continue to get warmer.
I really do need an air conditioner if I am going to get 3 grows per year.
We had a couple of power outages due to storms. I am thinking about a UPS battery backup system for the irrigation pumps...but those are very pricy.
I am bit less scared of defoliation now, so I am trying Nebula's lolipopping strategy. I hope to encourage longer denser colas.
They are really vigorous and stretching. They are hungry and thirsty.
The little coco plant will stay in the tiny pot just to see what it does.
