Hello, hello again!
Started this week off with yet another, 6.5PH in, 6.2 PH out watering of 2.5L per 9L pot each. I actually, despite my statements in previous weeks, said "ah f*** it" and upped the dosage of bloom (4 ml/L), topmax (4 ml/L), and brought grow back to 3ml/L. They soon about to be harvested, didnt want to deny them a proper last meal.
Other than that, we entered what i for myself call the "boring" state. Theyre absolutely nice too look at, and, looking back, have been so much fun to grow, but now i just sit here waiting for Trichomes to amber up. And since its my only tent, i hope they do so equally as fast as the rest of the grow so far. So, nothing much more to tell! No Defoliation, No Adjusting lights, just feeding them and ever so patiently waiting on them.
One of the plant has some cool looking foxtails going on. I dont mind it, looks cute.
Budsites still keep sweeling up good though. Stigmas are now 50/50.
Added some Trichome shots on Nov 3rd, Took a couple of pics and stacked them in Photoshop
Day 69, some more Trichome Checks, not quite there yet! See you next week! :)
Added Timelapse for week 10!
This looks really good. Nice purple color already! Interested to see how this turns out...
What kind of webcam did you go with? I pried a cheap Blink camera out of Bezos hands, but it's pretty limited in terms of time lapse.
@NastyNatesJungle, sorry for the late answer! i just saw the reply now :
But yes, i absolutely have! I will probably get a dedicated Pi for the tent anyway, since this one is running outside at my desk as a pihole and is connected to a switch for the devices in my LAN. if i were to put sensors into the tent, i need some 5meters of cable for each to connect to the pi, haha.
but all the more reason to get another one! :]
@sellem, Thanks for that info. That's a creative solution with scripting! I was thinking dusting off my old Pi and trying to get it involved in the grow setup. Timelapse videos are insanely cool - I'll hit you up when I get there. Thanks!
Have you thought about trying to use the Pi in other ways? Maybe for watering or data capturing? Just been thinking to myself...
@NastyNatesJungle, Hi, thanks first of all! 😍
I used an old logitech 720p 60° FOV webcam up until now. i did upgrade to a 1080p one with a 82° FOV. So starting from Week 7 the timelapse quality will improve drastically. (Edit: Forgot you can already see the change in week 6 at the end, day 41)
The webcams themselves for me dont need any timelapse capability per se, as theyre hooked to a raspberry pi via a 5m usb extension cord. The raspi just runs a simple script that takes a picture via the webcam every X (in my case 15) minutes. The raspi also runs 24/7 since its also working as a network filter (PiHole). But this will also work with any modern programmable "Device" that you can run 24/7 or alongside your light schedule, like a PC, laptop, etc.
If you plan on doing something like this yourself, im happy to help.
Slightly off topic, but the webcam also "livestreams" the tent for me, so when im out of the house, on vacation, at work, etc, i can always take a peek inside 😁😁
@GrannyGrowingWeed, hey, thanks first of all, and second, have fun! they have so far been an absolute blast to grow. really fast, really "same"-y in terms of grow, colors and how they handle training. so far, absolutely 0 complaints. cant wait for the smoke!
@VTR90, yeah the colors turned out amazing! Its a bit of trickery due to lights out and flashlight, in true colors, like outside of the tent, its not that extreme. But still a nice and powerful purple. And thanks for the good luck! :)
