5/22/2024 Day 2 Temp: 82.2 F RH: 74.3% VPD: 0.92kPa Progress, we are growing and healthy. I bought a new humidity dome to place over the top of the plants. A bigger dome I can place everything under. Everything looks good so far. 5/24/2024 Day 4 Temp: 84.5 RH: 73.5% VPD: 0.80kPa We have officially grown past the cotyledons, each plant has its first set of leaves on it. They are all growing well. I was listening/watching migrow YT channel, and Dr. Bruce Bugbee about increasing overall DLI throughout the stages of growth, experimenting with that and lower temps through veg and flower. I really liked what they are talking about, it makes sense to me and no one does it better than Bruce in terms of experimenting with different methods to increase quality, yield. And considering I have already had the lower temps on my mind then all of this is in line with my intuition for how I want to approach growing first. I am trying to make the best possible choices to achieve the qualities and characteristics I am after for my plants. My goal is always to learn everything I can so when I start, I am a few levels ahead of the curve. I like to think when I learn and make the decisions that I do, I am making not just correct choices but choices that established growers that have paved the way before me would approve of. Be impressed by. The other thing I was working on was the lung room. I experimented with having the humidifier and the heater in the lung room, I placed plastic on the walls to insulate from the outer rooms environment. I didn’t like the humidifier being out there because I didn’t notice that much of a difference to leave it the way that it was. I placed the humidifier in the tent with it hooked to a UIS plugin from AC Infinity so I could set it to AUTO and trigger on when the humidity got to 70% for now. 5/27/24 Day 7 Temp: 84.6 F RH: 72.7% VPD: 1.12kPa We have our second set of leaves growing. This is rad. I’m hooked! The humidity dome was on too long, I can see some shriveling in the leaves. I am incorporating the oscillating fan now to move some air around. Stoked to see the second set of leaves. Now we move into week 2.

Very exciting, happy growing, looking forward to follow your progress. I always wanted to plant on soil, but coco is so convenient for indoor, I know it's only excuses. Glad you mentioned the auto pod system, did not know I wanted that 😂 At the Moment I am using an drip irrigation system that is mounted directly on top of the reservoir, but I had a lot of issues, automated moisture sensors suck, never saw a functional system, even the capacitive ones, they just drift over time, no way an Arduino will work reliability with that. Also the plants tend to stick their fingers into the cookie jar, as their roots will grow straight into the reservoir, turning my drip irrigation into a full blown deep water system. Luckily aerating the tank always protected me against root rot.

@DaddyGreenThumb, thank you I appreciate you checking in on me. Day 53 today and I got my journal caught up. They are so pretty and I have been so fortunate not to deal with any issues, deficiencies or anything really. My biggest issue has been defoliation and late LST. I want to remove fan leaves but am a firm believer in them needing to be around to catch those rays. I’ve taken a few off but by bit to help focus energy on the tops without stunting growth. We shall see in the end!

@RegularWizardCo, i feel you, growing can take a lot of time from you so choosing a style that fits your needs is super important! I also work with light living soil/organic because its easy, fun and works so well! Still waiting for your harvest details🙃 cheers from Germany

@Falscher_Hase_069, Thank you so much! It took me months to decide how I was going to grow but when I landed on BAS Earthbox grow, I knew that was it. It had to be automated enough I could just check on them once a day if need be. My schedule with family, kids, work, sports is too much to try and learn any other way. It has been an amazing experience. I am done and curing so I will post the last entries for the journal tomorrow at the latest. Smells wonderful and my harvest was bigger than expected! I am lucky it went the way it did. I had issues arise and it was awesome learning experience. I am hooked 100%. Thanks again!

@gottagrowsometime, I appreciate the love! I thought maybe it stretched a bit farther than I wanted but I know the bud sites will fill the length of the stalk. This plant just beasts out and is constantly surprising me. Looking forward to the finish line for sure.
