5/29/2024 Day 9 Temp: 79.8 F RH: 75.4% VPD: 0.84kPa Light: 1/10 Oscillating: 1/10 Fan: 1/10 Time to put on the mulch cover! I put water on a few days ago to ensure the soil health and health of the plants. I will have to let it dry out a bit to ensure the stomata is open and taking in nutrients. I also need to prepare for a weekend away. I hooked up the humidifier to an ACI UIS plug so I can set parameters on the Controller 69+ Pro. It will now trigger on when the RH hits 60%. Light has been at setting #1 for 20/4 schedule. I am going to increase the intensity today to #3. VPD is in 1.44 range. And switch to a 18/6 schedule. 5/31/24 Day 11 Temp: 70.3 F RH: 65.1% VPD: 0.87kPa Too early to tell how the change is working. Nothing major to do today except for soak the soil thoroughly with the Rootwise Mycrobe Complete suite of products I have been using during every water. 6/3/2024 Day 14 Temp: 71.3 F RH: 60% VPD: 1.01kPa Weekend away went well, Plants have responded well to the mulch cover and environment held up just fine until I got back. I left them for one more day. Soil is moist and plants are fine.

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!

Is a really nice auto from FB imo this is the best I've had from them thus far. GL with your grow she's coming along well.

@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.
