MarciMunchkin Move to 5L soil-pots until my grow bags arrive. already a small increase in height after moving from dwc to pots

MarciMunchkin Finally the pots arrived. Prepared soil with Perfect Plant Pack from BioTabs.nl. Moved from 5L pots to 19L GrowBags. Additionally my 2 6inch fans and my heat plate arrived - still cold over night in my balcony tent (16deg)… Next 10 days I'm in Turkey for holidays 🤞🏻 my bro will do everything as I described 😅

MarciMunchkin Late Veg and im excited as Hell (asking myself for what - the next 2 month's starring inside my tent?!?) The last week worked out extremely well with temperature and RLF... My Xiaomi humidifier needed to be manually regulated - the sensors from this one and from the marshydro controller were not really in sync 😅 all in all I had 24-27deg and RLF of 70-77% during the day. during the night it fell to 22deg... dont know the RLF as im not watching my cam when I'm asleep 😅 My plan for this week is: - control grow-directions of nodes with LST - may at EOW install ScrOG-net depending on how they grow during the week ...🤞🏻 I can send them to flower next week. 25.06.2025 ...not sure if im sure... could be the strawberry cough + coffee this morning, but I had a small sweet smell in my nose after opening the tent 🤤 I moved the Migro Aray 2 5cm up (35cm) and turned it to 80%... Let it shine ☀️ ... + 🤞🏻 they like it 😎 28.06.2025 Left them alone for two days… Thx to my Xiaomi humidifier I was able to meet a kPa of 1-1.2 😎 I Watered each 2L ph 6.2 ec 2.5 (5ml calmag + Green power) Use Boom Boom Spray Remove weak lower nodes more power for upper nodes A bit LST 29.06.2025 Seems it’s the upper lvl for ec - next time I will flush it with Brita water and check ec and ph from drain. As imho I did quite a nice job with leveling both plants, I probably won’t use a scrog net so I can easily access, water, defoliate u name it… 30.06.2025 Two days left to send them to flower. I watered them with 2L Water 6.2ph 0.6ec to analyze the drain... my Bluelab pens told me ph 5.5 and ec Or - where as Or means out of range 9.9 😅 So i flushed them with tab water... a couple of times... ...until I met ec2.0 and ph6.2 from drain. funny as they had no signs of too much nutritions or anything else imo. (noob) they simply looked beautifully... anyway, lets see how they look tomorrow 01.07.2025 Looks like both loved the flush yesterday 😎 in the morning the last defoliation happened - before sending them to bloom tomorrow. I turned the inline fan to max (27deg / 66% RH) as both bags are still wet as TayTay while doomscrolling growdiaries 😅 - at least no dripping or weird smell 😎 Today I'l: - move the inline-fan-controller outside the tent to keep it dark as f**k - update my timer settings to 12/12 starting 6am - Setup one fan to blow underneath the plants on lowest setting (running 24/7) - Setup one fan blowing the tops (running 12/12) 🤞🏻

MarciMunchkin 02.07.2025 W8 - Finally I'l send them to flower today. I moved the marshydro controller outside the tend. and set it up in general turn on = 27deg || = 66% RH over night I use lvl 2 as its more or less noiseless when im laying in my bed 3m away from balcony over day I usually turn it between 8-10-7 - to keep VPD as sweet as possible As I cleaned my humidifier (water was inside the middle part) my RH is quite in sync now with the sensor from the controller. So i setup up some automations for the humidifier: - turn off at 00:00 - from 05:59AM - 23:59 if 58% RH - turn on (lvl 1) - from 05:59AM - 23:59 if 65% RH - turn off additionally due to my controller now is outside the tent, I'm not able to check temp and RH - my cam is inside 😅 As I was checking marshydro for updates about the smart power supply I was disappointed to see no updates... "Without Data you're just another person with an opinion" ~W. Edwards Deming so i ordered the Spider Farmer GGS AC 10 ...you can expect way more accurate data as soon as its arrived 🤓 03.07.2025 Top level excitement in the morning... 78%RH 😬... BUT... I checked a node and saw... tada pistils... I checked another one... pistils... pistils on every node... #WhoopWhoop additionally my Spider Farmer GGS AC10 arrived and got setup. I need to get more comfortable with the app as I didn't saw an option to say: hey my humidity is X so turn on slot 4 (the humidifier)... ...seeing data in real time, without opening the tent is simply awesome!!! I watered each with 3L Brita water (4.5ml AN CalMag, 6ml BioTabs Orgatrex, 1.5ml AN BudCandy) = ec 1.7, ph 6.1, 19deg 06.07.2025 Today morning was Watering time so I gave both 3.5L Brita water (8ml AN CalMag, 8ml S&R Green Power) = ec 1.7, ph 6.1, 22deg - no drain - they were thirsty. Next time I will go to 4L to measure the drain. both made a huge jump in size ~5cm since beginning of the week - stretch time!!! 😎 they also started to produce the typical cookies smell, still soft and sweet but t t t t t tasty tasty #FredNBarneyLicious!!! 07.07.2025 My Spiderfarmer device told me my soil is dry (14.8%) daFu*k?!? put it to a different spot, same result... ...while writing, I can still see my entry from yesterday and am kinda... well... As I wanted to measure drain and the soil really felt a bit dry... not like 14.8% but, well, dry :D So I prepared again 5L Brita water (6ml AN CalMag, 7ml S&R Green Power) = ec 1.7, ph 6.2, 20deg)... I watered Barney 2L and Fred the rest - and tada some drain... I checked it with BlueLab devices - ph 6.6 & ec 3.3... Next time just clear water 😅 additionally as were in end of week 1 + I can kinda see both grow in size I defoiled them (a bit) and removed week lower nodes. 08.07.2025 Last day of W8... they grow day by day visibly today morning I measured, on both, 36cm from soil to "highest" (hrhrhr) spot...

MarciMunchkin Time is running, Weather is shit the next days... I'm expecting high RH / low Temp data :( 09.07.2025 Yesterday I installed bamboo-sticks to the left / right side of the tent to prevent outer pressure from the tent to the plants... also i printed an air/light-gutter for my marshydro tent: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1098802-light-trap-300x180-for-mars-hydro-grow-tent-vent Lots of ❤️ to the guy created the gutter and my Bambu P1S I created a Model of a SoilBagStand with some holes for drops and "maximized" airflow underneath - still strong enough, holding the bag... im no architect so wish me luck - images will follow... btw. if somebody is interested in the 3D printed things / Models (holder for the controller, clip-holder for migro-aray) - just pm me as im currently to lazy to maintain grow diaries + maker world :D 11.07.2025 As I mentioned - it’s rainy outside - so fu**in high RH ~80% 🙃 Also I printed my soil bag stand - which I, smart as I am - printed with abs (with my petg roll laying next to it and loughin about me… 🤦🏻‍♂️ So put some silicon on top of the stands to prevent them soaking with water 🤓 Watered with: 6L Brita 1.5L tap 6ml Bio pk 4ml orgatrex 2ml cal mag Ph 5.8 Ec 1.2 13.07.2025 I found a lil Support light wich I installed - 12h red light underneath this crown - lets see if they like it 🤞🏻 Additionally I did a defoiliation and removed some weak nodes on both - next remove on day 21 of flower 15.07.2025 Thought I was smart and reposition the fans... knick knack... a main node broke - im so smart 🤦🏻‍♂️ tried to align it... more tomorrow

MarciMunchkin 16.07.2025 Yesterday a node broke and it let half the leafs hang down :( today morning leaves got back a bit #Yeah as of watering I tried to fix the spot with tape and toothpicks... it looked nice - one breath and it fall... :( so I decided to remove the node - at least more light in the middle - glas half full u know 😅 I watered both at 17.8% soil humidity with: - 5L Brita water - 1L Tap water - 24ml bio pk = ec 1.7, ph 6.1, 18deg 19.07.2025 watered each with 4L: Ph 6.1 Ec 1.3 12ml calmag 8ml bud candy 19deg - Drain ~5% 6.8ph 6.6ec :( 21.07.2025 Again I though I am smart and clean my bluelab pens before using - today I only want to flush them a bit to decrease the soil ec... and again I failed by crashing my ph pen... there is like a lil lightbulb - super sensitive - not replaceable - I broke it 🤦🏻‍♂️ tomorrow my new pen will arrive so I just gave both 1 L of ~6ph (2/3 Brita water ~5.5 and 1/3 tap water ~7.8) additionally I added 2ml bud candy and 2ml cal mag... tomorrow flush with the new ph pen... where as I remember something with 24h preparation/calibration 🤦🏻‍♂️ 22.07.2025 The ph pen for sure needs 24h (at least 24h) inside the kci liquid to work properly... so I watered again each with 1.5L 80% Brita (ec 0.5, ph 5.5) and 20% (tap water ec 1.2 ph 7.9)...
