Not much to say about this real first grow week’s start. Everything looks ok, steady growth at 40% light. I had to restart the control app a few times, therefore the broken graphs. At night times, the control software tries to attain optimum humidity rather than optimum VPD. That’s why VPD is dropping when the lights are out. CO2 is back to baseline – really wonder what the reliable values are … I found I have to silence the blowers when a timelapse photo is being taken. The shaking you see at the beginning of the grow video should not appear, or to a much less degree, in the future. Day 13 (July 30th) shows good, steady growth. Leaves are a bit spotty, although less then the processed images show. Something to be worried about? I would not currently … All are developing their 3rd nodes now. The controlling Raspberry Pi crashed last night when I tried to access it remotely … ;( – looks like the Connect software is in need of an update. The leaf temperature sensor is now really aimed at lady-to-be nr. 1’s leaves. Nothing to change that I see. I won’t cut the top yet, just watered the outer circle of the big pots slightly to encourage root growth. Day 14: Nice growth. First plant is now at 11 cm, and at 12 cm on day 15. Nothing special to report so far, except for I had to move the internal camera a bit upwards to keep little lady #1 in focus. Day 16 and last day of this week (Aug 2nd): The young ladies are now at about 14 cm tall. Growth looks very compact though. I think the two inside girls will lose their heads next week; I’d still prefer to have one or two more nodes available. Pictures of this day are taken at the end of the plants’ day. Notice their leaves are pointing upwards, which should be a sign that they want more light. I turned the lights up by another 20% for a total of 60 W now. Weather was pretty hot the last days so it wasn’t possible to stay in optimum VPD range but as long as growth is this satisfying I don’t mind. I will water them slightly at their next day start. Outside plant’s soil humidity might still be at around 58% officially, but drying starts at around 40% with this measurement and the sensors are placed quite closely to the stems so outer soil is dryer. I am preparing the plant water with some additions and a frequency imprint suing some Solfeggio and Schumann frequencies.

I'm right there with ya, a few more weeks. I usually chop day 77-85. Autos usually require 50-60 days of flowering and then you add the veg time (21-35 days usually)

@Dabking, thank you! Yes, I see, we’re equal up to the height. :D Just saw some buds sparkle like being wet – this looks very much like a great harvest. Yours too. I can’t insist on experience, but from my limited knowledge I agree breeder’s times, although mostly declared as seed-to-harvest, should rather be read as blooming time. Which is quite ok for me. Really would like to see them in full colors before being cut.

Pi + sensors + custom exhaust fans?! Holy shit, that sounds awesome dude. I'm not sure why this will be your last grow but with that kind of engineering it is a shame to lose you. Good luck yo.

@Waveform, I mean, you don't want to be a bad neighbor. You pretty much have to stick it out for that Mimosa Cookies or it'd be rude. 😏 And if there is another plant on the way it's probably a good idea to get a few more seeds. I mean the tent is up anyways, right? About a decade ago I was homebrewing in my garage and had a similar situation with a neighbor. Once you see the magic, you get the itch. Abracadabra, yo.

@NastyNatesJungle, Maybe I’ll continue, but with lower priority. I must confess I infected a neighbour who used to grow aeons ago. In fact he escalated quite quickly, from "let me just have one plant on the shelf and watch her grow by sunlight" to a 1 x 1 x 2 m tent with double the lighting I got in about 2 weeks, and for my support he is pre-growing a Mimosa Cookies for me, so I guess the title lies. Thanks a lot in any case!
