Nero Started the week off by 'FIMing' all 3 and some defoliation. still watering with coco grow, also biosys when required
i know technically its advised against any HST or Topping/fimming with autos but i realised this is all just an experience and if it doesn't work i know for the next one
the raspberry zkittlez and purple queen seem to be at similar stages with the gelato looking to lag behind slightly, maybe even stunted but time will tell
as the week progressed i noticed the leaves tacoing, and its starting to look as if they are transitioning in to flower lacking the bloom nutrients. so for the last water of the week i switched to a half strength bloom mix to hopefully help correct the issue. also could be from increasing the light intensity and not raising the lights which i have also now done and they are currently sitting around 620 ppfd. next couple of days should show if they were the issues.
i also decided to buy a postal weighing scale to permenantly sit under one of the pots to give me a easy weight reading for watering without me even having to open the tent, seems to be working without any issues so far and means i no longer have to pull them out to check.
RZ - 30cm PQ - 36cm Gelato - 23cm

Nero Been a busy week, first week of flower
Everything seems to be going fine, no adverse effects from the Fim
Purple queen is definietly taking the lead with zkittlez coming second and gelato still practically a little bush
Feeding full strength 4ml/l bloom nutrients every 2-3 days
I've installed the scrog net, keeping it tight by weaving bamboo canes through it so it has the best coverage. didn't want to pay stupid money for a kit to stop the tent shrinking when at negative pressure so i got some 16mm garden poles and 3D printed some brackets for the grand total of about . Also 3D printed my own funnel tower for my humidifier to help the humidity get to where its needed in the tent instead of just on the floor.
All in all been a busy week, grow and diy wise.

Nero Not much to say, just spent the week enjoying watching the purple queen stretch and start frosting. other two look like they are just about to start their stretch phase
Got a new humidifer as the gove unit was just too slow at updating and not quite up to keeping the tent cooler in higher temps when needing to run the inline faster, printed a new pipe and 'spreader' which does an amazing job at evenly distrubuting the vapour compared to just the circle outlet i had before.
Also ordered a second fan to go under the canopy and help keep good circulation which should arrive next week.

Nero The purple queen has officially moved from her flowering stretch into the main bud-building phase
zkittlez has filled her part of the scrog net and is about half way through her stretch
gelato is the same story although she is crammed right against the edge of the tent only get 2 rows of scrog net (can you tell the favourites) so we will see how she progresses in such a tight space but not all that concerned
also had 2 plants growing in 2 L pots just as a stress test i guess, culled the royal haze and kept the og kush, but in my expermintation with lst as i was putting it back in the tent i caught the top and it suddenly went from LST to a topping, that being said it seems to have responded okay for a auto especially considering it practically gets no light under the canopy and is a neglected plant being fed bloom nutrients from seedling.
defoliating whenever leaves are looking at me funny.
