I'm back for another update! This week in the garden, I'm pushing through the last week or two of flower in the Vivosun 4x8x6 tent. I've just been trying to maintain a low humidity in there during the peak summer months. I'm thankful I went with the larger 8 inch vent fan and 4 oscillating fans in the tent to create a good amount of air movement. My dehumidifier seems to be able to keep up okay with it, but i'd say about 4 days total this cycle, humidity got into the low 60s. I haven't seen any molds on the buds but I have been keeping my eyes peeled!
As for this current seedling run in the much smaller Mars Hydro 2x2x2 1/2 tent. They are all growing like weeds! I once again gave a very small feeding of Mykos WP and Roots Organic Trinity. I've been watering with my hand sprayer gently every day. The ViparSpectra V1000 (100w) are still sat at 50% power draw.
Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7 Seedling- This Seedling has stretched since last week now standing at 18 inches from the soil. It's top two branches are now starting to branch off chutes. It's easily the tallest plant in the tent and has the farthest internode spacing. It leaves are still coming out on the thinner/longer side. It seems decently healthy and I hope I can manage it's stretch! Since it's topping it's outward branch growth has been outstanding. It now has 8 branches over 6 inches long.
Humboldt Seed Organization/Giest Grow: Tow Truck Seedling- The Tow Truck Seedlings Growth is still very wide and indica dominant. It has not branched off as much this week. It does however have 4 tops coming in from its recent topping. It stands at about 14 inches tall. This week I did notice what may be a pollen sack on the plant. I'm not 100% sure so I'm gonna give it another week. Unfortunately I don't have the space for males right now. So if it is a male I'll have to ditch it. Some of its leaf growth has been coming in ruffled and none of my other plants have done this in the past.
Mosca Seeds (x) Tiki Madman: Raspberry Ripple #1 Clone- These Clones have still been keeping pace, and are exhibiting the familiar traits! They are still on average about 13 inches tall but all they're branch growth is almost all caught up with the top sites already. They have been growing evenly. This is very good for setting them up in the trellis when flower time comes around.
Mosca Seeds (x) Tiki Madman: Raspberry Ripple #2 Clones- These clones still have yet to be topped. They still only stand about 10 inches in height but they will probably be able to be topped in a week. They're getting really close to that mark. Branch growth has still been decent and they seem to be getting enough light to survive, even though they're in the farthest corner of the tent.
I'm excited to get all these plants some more space and airflow from my fans in the flower tent. I've still been seeing a small amount of fungus gnats but I drive them away with EM-5 and some sticky traps I make. I opted not to use my wettable sulfur this run as you can't mix the two. The oils in the EM-5 and the sulfur mix to form quite a toxin for the plant and block it's ability to receive light. The sulfur is much stronger but is a little much for baby plants. It's still organic but it's definitely "the big guns". That about does it for this week! Thank you for checking out my grow diary!

good job bro keep going. i can see the purple colors are coming out . you are one of few persons i saw to do cover cropping beside main plant you did great job dude your terpens will flow
@Grower_Of_Persia, the cover crop seemed to really help even the soil out. I noticed it helped keep this layer of moisture in the top soil and keeps it from getting hydrophobic. Thank you for your feedback and checking out my grow diary!
