Sadhus ### Grow Journal: First Week of Vegetation – Permanent Marker Strain (Zamnesia) for the DognaBiscup **Start Date: September 12, 2025** **End of Week: September 19, 2025** **Grower: [sadhus]** **Team/Partners: A huge thank you to @dogdoctor, aka @dognabiscup, for organizing the DognaBiscup, a competition that unites and inspires growers.** #### Grow Context For the **DognaBiscup**, I selected the **Permanent Marker** from Zamnesia, a 70/30 indica-dominant hybrid (Biscotti x Sherb Bx x Jealousy), known for its diesel and sweet aromas as well as its robust growth in vegetation. This strain develops compact plants with dense foliage (potential yield: 450-550 g/m²). The setup uses an **ebb and flow** system with **expanded clay pellets**, ideal for optimal root oxygenation and quick drainage. Flood cycles: 10 min every 30 min (adjusted according to roots), 90 L reservoir. Lighting: **full-spectrum LED** (1000W, 18/6). **Nutrition**: **Aptus** program (All-in-One Liquid for base, Startboost for roots, Regulator for resilience), initial dosage at 50% (target EC 1.8-2.0 mS/cm). **Environmental Control**: **TrolMaster Hydro-X Pro** with sensors (temp, RH, VPD) and modules (ventilation, HVAC, humidifier/dehumidifier). Its stability (±0.5°C, ±2% RH) is essential for Permanent Marker, sensitive to stress in early veg. Thanks, TrolMaster, for this reliability! #### Weekly Data Analysis The data comes from TrolMaster screenshots (Sept 18-19) and the DognaBiscup app (week 2, days 8-14). The VPD is within the ideal veg range (0.7-1.0 kPa), air/water temperatures synchronized, and RH promotes healthy leaf development. EC and pH remain stable thanks to Aptus and the drainage of pellets. Here’s a summary: | Day | Air Temp (°C) | Water Temp (°C) | RH (%) | VPD (kPa) | EC (mS/cm) | Water pH | Stability Notes (TrolMaster) | |-----|---------------|----------------|--------|-----------|------------|----------|-------------------------------| | D8 (09/13) | 23.8 (Avg) | 21.6 (Sol) | 63.78 | ~0.85* | 1.76 (Sol) | 5.73 | TrolMaster adjusts RH, VPD stable. | | D9 (09/14) | 23.8 (Avg) | 21.6 (Sol) | 66.85 | ~0.80* | 1.74 (Sol) | 5.68 | Climate locked, healthy growth. | | D10 (09/15) | 23.7 (Avg) | 21.9 (Sol) | 66.74 | ~0.82* | 1.74 (Sol) | 5.68 | TrolMaster manages RH peak (70.5%). | | D11 (09/16) | 23.8 (Avg) | 21.9 (Sol) | 63.78 | ~0.87* | 1.74 (Sol) | 5.68 | Perfect stability, active roots. | | D12 (09/17) | 23.7 (Avg) | 21.9 (Sol) | 57.29 | ~0.95* | 1.74 (Sol) | 5.68 | TrolMaster compensates for RH drop. | | D13 (09/18) | 24.2 (Max) | 21.6 (Sol) | 68.1 | 0.96 | 1.76 (Sol) | 5.73 | Heat peak managed, optimal VPD. | | D14 (09/19) | 23.8 (Avg) | 21.9 (Sol) | 63.82 | ~0.85* | 1.74 (Sol) | 5.68 | Stable climate at 06:24 AM | *Estimated VPD via charts (air temp 23.7-24.2°C, RH 57-70%). #### Detailed Analysis - **VPD**: Estimated 0.80-0.96 kPa, within the veg zone (0.7-1.0 kPa), promoting transpiration and absorption. TrolMaster maintains stable VPD despite RH fluctuations. - **Temperatures**: Air 21.9-24.7°C (Avg 23.7-23.8°C), water/solution 21.6-21.9°C. Minimal variance, ideal to avoid stretching. - **Relative Humidity (RH)**: 57.29-70.5% (Avg 63-66.85%), perfect for foliage. TrolMaster corrects peaks (e.g., 70.5% D10) via dehumidifier. - **EC and Water pH**: Solution EC 1.74-1.86 mS/cm (stable, Aptus effective), pH 5.68-5.73 (ideal hydro zone). Impeccable drainage of clay pellets. #### Plant Observations Permanent Marker shows vigorous growth (+25% estimated height), dark green leaves, healthy white roots (Startboost). Compact structure (indica) well established. No visible stress thanks to TrolMaster stability. #### Climatic Stability Thanks to TrolMaster The **TrolMaster Hydro-X Pro** excels: zero major drift, VPD and RH adjusted in real-time (e.g., RH peak D10 managed in 30 min). The logs (Sept 18-19) confirm stability ±0.5°C and ±2% RH, crucial for Permanent Marker. Thanks, TrolMaster, for this precision that optimizes every day! #### Conclusion and Thanks Successful Week 1: **Permanent Marker** is pushing strong, **ebb and flow** is working perfectly, and **Aptus** stabilizes the nutrients. The **TrolMaster** ensures impeccable climate. Shoutout to **@dogdoctor/@dognabiscup** for the expertise and the DognaBiscup that motivates! **Next Steps**: Adjust EC to 2 mS/cm, space out floods, initiate LST.

Sadhus ### Weekly Grow Journal - Week 2 of Vegetation **Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia)** **System: Ebb & Flow Hydroponics on clay pebbles, full control Trollmaster** **Nutrients: Aptus** **Lighting: 1000W full spectrum LED** **Contest: Dognabis Cup by DogDoctor** **Date: Week of September 22 to 28, 2025 (currently on September 27)** This second week of vegetation has gone smoothly under precise control thanks to the Trollmaster system, focusing on the stability of environmental and nutritional parameters. The Permanent Marker plants, in a vigorous growth phase, responded well to manual adjustments. I performed LST (Low Stress Training) to encourage a bushy structure and better light penetration, a light defoliation to remove lower leaves obstructing airflow, and a complete water change in the reservoirs to refresh the nutrient solution and prevent any salt buildup. These interventions boosted the plants' vitality, with a noticeable increase in leaf mass and healthy roots in the hydroponic substrate. On the observation side: - **Overall Growth**: The plants have stretched moderately, with internodes of 2-3 cm. The leaf color remains healthy (dark green), with no signs of deficiencies or overheating. The LST has nicely flattened the canopy, promoting even light exposure. - **Environment**: Temperature and humidity have been maintained within optimal ranges for vegetation, with stable averages around 23°C and 68% RH. The VPD (0.88 kPa) indicates a good transpiration/growth balance. - **Nutrient Solution**: Stable pH around 6.2, EC at 2.14 mS/cm – slightly above the initial target, but with no visible stress. The solution temperature (17°C) is ideal for root oxygenation. - **Lighting**: PPFD at 676, which is comfortable for veg, but I sense potential for a gradual increase. - **Issues Encountered**: Slight EC fluctuation early in the week due to evaporation; corrected by the water change. No pathogens detected. Overall, a solid week with robust plants ready for acceleration. Goal for next week: Continue LST to densify the canopy, slightly increase PPFD (to around 800-900 to boost photosynthesis without burning), and stabilize pH at 5.8 and EC at 2.2 mS/cm to optimize nutrient absorption from Aptus. It's going to be great for the Dognabis Cup! ### Summary Table of Parameters (Week 2 Averages - Based on app logs) | Parameter | Unit | Current Value (09/27) | Veg Target | Week Average | Change vs. Week 1 | Notes | |------------------------|-----------|--------------------------|------------------|-----------------|--------------------------|-------| | **Room Temperature (Day)** | °C | 22.3 | 24 | 23.2 | +0.5°C | Stable, slight nighttime increase managed by Trollmaster. | | **Room Temperature (Night)** | °C | - | - | 21.0 | Stable | Night min at 19.5°C on 09/26; ventilation OK. | | **Relative Humidity (Average)** | % | 67.4 | 70 | 67.8 | -1% | Good, but aim for 70% for more vigor. | | **CO2** | ppm | - (below 900) | 900 | ~400-500 | Stable | No injection; monitor if growth slows. | | **VPD** | kPa | 0.88 | 0.8-1.0 | 0.87 | Stable | Optimal for transpiration. | | **Solution pH** | - | 6.19 | 5.8-6.2 | 6.1 | Stable | Slight high drift; adjust to 5.8 next week. | | **Solution EC** | mS/cm | 2.14 | 2.0-2.5 | 2.1 | +0.1 | Good for Aptus; stabilize at 2.2. | | **Solution Temp.** | °C | 17.0 | 16-18 | 17.2 | Stable | Perfect for oxygenated roots. | | **PPFD (Light)** | µmol/m²/s| 676 | 600-800 | 680 | +50 | Slightly increase next week. | | **Average (Grow Room)**| % | 11 | - | - | N/A | Overall health indicator; to be monitored. | *Data sources: Zone Flo app logs (24h graphs from 09/26-27) and Dognabis Cup setpoints.

Sadhus Week 3 - Vegetative Phase: Grow Diary for the Dognabis Cup (DogDoctor Contest) Strain: Zamnesia Permanent Marker Growing System: Ebb & Flow Hydroponics on expanded clay pellets Nutrition: Aptus (program adapted for the veg phase, target EC at 2.2 mS/cm) Lighting: 1000W full spectrum, controlled by Trolmaster Tent X (gradual increase of 10 PPFD per week) Environmental Control: Total via Trolmaster (climate, light, CO2, VPD) Overall Goal: Maximize bushy structure for future flowering, aiming for monsters... but forced adaptation to early switch! Hey DogDoctor team and Dognabis Cup community! Here’s the recap of my week 3 in veg for my Zamnesia Permanent Marker. This strain is a beast: it grows fast, dense, and resinous, but as you’ll see, I already have to anticipate a switch to 12/12 earlier than expected due to my other plants being ahead (which are stressing for extra time in veg). No XXL monsters this time, but we’re optimizing what we can with LST/FIM and fine hydro management. Aptus nutrition is killing it, and finally, the pH has stabilized after chaotic beginnings – no more daily adjustments, phew! Plant Status The baby Permanent Markers are exploding: sturdy stems, broad dark green leaves, with good branching thanks to the LST and FIM applied this week. I’ve bent and tied down the tops for an even canopy (about 4-5 main nodes per plant), and topped the most vigorous ones to boost the sides. Vertical growth controlled at ~15-20 cm average height, but the root density is top-notch in the clay pellets – no signs of oxygen stress. Unfortunately, the other plants in the run (not in the contest) are already stretching and asking for 12/12; I’ll have to stress them (slightly reduce nutrients or water) to squeeze out an extra 3-5 days of veg here. Goal: not to exceed 4 weeks total in veg to synchronize everything. Not ideal for colossi, but quality takes precedence for the Cup! Environment and Controls Everything is locked in via Trolmaster: stable temperature around 24°C (target), humidity at 70% (perfect for veg), CO2 at 900 PPM (manual maintenance to boost photosynthesis). Optimal VPD at ~0.9 kPa, which aligns perfectly with Aptus recommendations to avoid excessive transpiration. Light increased by 10 PPFD as planned (now at ~679 average PPFD in the flower zone), and the graphs show nice stability – no chaotic spikes. For hydro: reduced tides to 2 min (now ~15-20 min per cycle) and 2 cycles less per day (from 8 to 6), to harden the roots without drowning. Solution at EC 2.2 (up by 0.2 this week to match veg hunger), pH finally stable at 6.07 (after daily adjustments the first 2 weeks – thanks Aptus buffers!). Solution EC at 2.16 mS/cm, water temp at 17.9°C (cooler is top-notch). Average moisture at 90% – well-drained, zero anaerobic. Weekly Summary Data Here’s a summary table of the key stats (averages over Mon/Sun/Night for the "Plants" and "Room" zones, based on app logs). Everything is consistent with the 24h graphs showing smooth curves, with no major drift.

Data Notes: Low PPFD on "Sun" due to light cycles being off; focus on Mon/Night for active averages. 24h graphs confirm: Temp stable between 22-24.5°C, Humidity 58-74%, VPD ~0.7-1.0 kPa, with no outages. Challenges and Adjustments Unstable pH resolved: The first 2 weeks, I was correcting daily (oscillations 5.8-6.5 due to new hydro). This week, boom – stable at 6.07 thanks to Aptus stabilizers and Trolmaster monitoring. Victory! Forced switch: The other ahead plants are forcing me into early flowering (week 4 max). I would have liked 6 weeks for monsters, but we prioritize synchronization. Plan B: stress the leaders (reduce EC by 0.1 on them) for +2-3 extra days of veg here. LST/FIM: Applied mid-week – tops bent, nodes boosted. No additional topping to avoid stress before switch. Week 4 Goals (Veg/Flower Transition) Continue light increase: +10 PPFD again (target ~750 PPFD for end of veg). Slight EC decrease (to 2.0) to anticipate flowering, without shock. Stop LST/FIM: Let them grow back freely, focus on recovery. Maximize veg: Stress the other plants (light water/nutrients) to delay their switch – squeeze out time for these Permanent Markers. Enhanced monitoring: VPD

Sadhus Grow Journal - Dognabis Cup strain: Permanent Marker Week 4 - 1st Week of Flowering Date: October 11, 2025 Observations: The plants have doubled in size thanks to the typical stretch of the flowering phase. Plant Status: Healthy and vigorous, no stress observed this week. Adjusted Parameters: PPFD increased to 800 (target achieved according to data). VPD set around 1.0-1.1 kPa (target achieved, measured values: 1.06 kPa day, 1.09 kPa night). Average Temperature: 24.4 °C (day), 22.5 °C (night) - stable target. Average Humidity: 65.22% (day), 59.98% (night) - adjusted to maintain VPD. CO2: ~900 PPM (target achieved). Solution: pH 5.92, EC 2.20 mS/cm, temperature 19.7 °C. Notes: Parameters were optimized this week with an increase in light (PPFD) and precise VPD adjustment. No stressful interventions, the plants are responding well to the conditions. We’re still keeping the same tide rhythm during the stretch to stimulate vegetative growth; next week I will start gradually reducing the duration of the tides and gradually increasing the time between two tides to start stimulating generative growth for flowering. Goal for next week: Maintain the same parameters: PPFD at 800 (we'll start a gradual increase to 900), VPD around 1.0-1.1 kPa, stable temperature and humidity, with no additional stress. Light defoliation planned and a little lollipop 🍭 Thank you for your attention and thanks to everyone!

Sadhus Grow Journal - Dognabis Cup - Strain: Permanent Marker zamnesia Week 5 - 2nd Week of Flowering Date: October 18, 2025 Observations: The plants have more than doubled in size due to the continuous stretch during the flowering phase. Plant Status: Healthy and vigorous, no stress observed this week. Adjusted Parameters: PPFD maintained at 800 (target achieved, measured values: 748.7 PFD day, 0.01 PFD night). VPD set around 0.97-0.95 kPa (target achieved, measured values: 0.97 kPa day, 0.95 kPa night). Average Temperature: 24.9 °C (day), 22.5 °C (night) - stable target. Average Humidity: 69.0 % (day), 65.14 % (night) - adjusted to maintain VPD. Solution: pH adjusted to 5.8, EC increased to 2.4 mS/cm, temperature 19.7 °C (based on previous data). Notes: Parameters have been optimized with a stable PPFD at 800 and well-controlled VPD. Increased EC to 2.4 mS/cm and adjusted pH to 5.8 to support flowering. Defoliation and lollipop, I removed the small, uninteresting secondary branches, and the plants continue to respond well. Summary Table: Parameter Day Night Temperature (°C) 24.9 (Avg) 22.5 (Avg) Humidity (%) 69.0 (Avg) 65.14 (Avg) PPFD 748.7 0.01 VPD (kPa) 0.97 0.95 pH 5.8 5.8 EC (mS/cm) 2.4 2.4 Goal for next week: Reduce the tide time and the space between tides by a few minutes. Decrease nitrogen input to promote flowering. Lower the all in on and add p boost and change di start booster to top booster aptus, out of stock regulator 😲😢

Sadhus JDC Weekly - Week 6 (3rd Week of Flowering) - Dognabis Cup General Context: We are in full flowering for the Ebb & Flow hydroponic setup (after a round with permanent marker for selecting and optimizing genetic traits). This 3rd week of flowering (6th week overall of the cycle) focuses on bud strengthening and preventing deficiencies, with only one out of three plants having stretched enough to break through the canopy and capture decent light. It's frustrating: the delayed start has penalized the others, which have been overshadowed by the dominant one, limiting their access to light and potentially their final yield. Nevertheless, the overall health remains vigorous, and we are adjusting to maximize what we have. Stable lighting at 800 PPFD (controlled via Trollmaster for uniformity), VPD targeted at 1-1.1 kPa day/night to optimize absorption and avoid water stress. Gradual increase of EC to boost nutrition, and starting the boosters: Top Booster (for explosive flowering) and P-Boost (phosphorus focus for roots and buds). pH solution maintained around 6.1-6.4 for optimal nutrient availability in hydro. Key Observations (based on screenshots of setpoints and monitoring): Growth and stretch: One dominant plant has broken through the canopy well, receiving ~800 PPFD effective, which promotes dense flowering. The other two, stifled, show limited stretch – a pity due to the asynchronous start, but we compensate with manual rotation to equalize exposure. No signs of reversion or hermies for now. Temperatures (Plants vs Room): Stable averages at 24-25°C day (plants) / 21-22°C night, with max/min well framed (26-28°C max day, 20-22°C min night). Room slightly cooler at night (20-21°C), ideal for resin accumulation without thermal stress. Slight increase observed at the end of the week, adjusted via ventilation. Humidity: Excellent hold at 65-70% day / 60-65% night (plants), with min at 52-55% to avoid mold. This fits perfectly with the target VPD, promoting healthy transpiration without drying out. VPD: Maintained at 0.94-1.04 kPa day / 0.86-1.04 kPa night, calculated via Trollmaster – spot on for this phase, boosting the uptake of Ca and Mg without excessive transpiration. CO2 and Light: CO2 at 900 PPM target (currently ~800-807 PPM, red line on monitoring), well dosed for max photosynthesis without waste. Light at a constant 800 PPFD, with average moisture at 12% (solid to avoid damping off in hydro). Nutrient Solution: EC boosted to 2.5 mS/cm (increase of ~0.5 vs last week), pH 6.1-6.4 (slightly acidic for P/K uptake). Temp solution at 18.1°C for optimal oxygenation. Added Top Booster (stimulates flowering) and P-Boost (roots/buds) at the beginning of the week – visible response in swelling of pistils. Minor Issues: One "stifled" plant shows pale lower leaves (relative lack of light), but no necrosis. Increased rotation. No alerts from Trollmaster. Actions Taken: Increased EC to 2.5 mS/cm with integration of Top Booster (standard dose) and P-Boost (focus P for buds). Daily rotation of plants to equalize light (focus on the two under the canopy). Trollmaster Check: VPD auto-adjusted via humidifiers/fans, CO2 injected at 900 PPM. Daily pH/EC monitoring; light rinse if EC 2.8. Weekly photos to track stretch and bud density. Outlook for Week 7: Push the P-Boost if buds swell well, aim for EC 2.6-2.7 mS/cm. Increase light rotation to catch up the laggards. Goal: 20-30% gain in bud density by the end of flowering. Estimated yield impacted at -15% vs full canopy, but premium quality thanks to tight VPD.

Sadhus # JDC Weekly – Dognabis Cup **Week 8** | **Permanent Marker** | **Day 5 of Flower** **Date: 09/11/2025** --- ## Weekly Summary Week 8 marked by a **major structural imbalance** within the Permanent Marker trio. **2 out of 3 plants were completely dominated** by the other strains in my run, relegated to the side of the canopy. The dominant strain plants captured the majority of the light, leaving the Permanent Markers **critically behind in development**. Visible consequences: - **Very small flowers**, few in number - **Airy structure**, lack of density - **Irreversible delay** in the flowering phase (Day 5) **Note**: *Despite an average PPFD of **1050 µmol/m²/s** over the week, the dominated plants did not benefit from this light intensity.* --- ## Summary Table – Environmental Data (Week 8 – Permanent Marker) | Parameter | **Day (God)** | **Night** | |-----------|---------------------|---------| | **Temperature (°C)** | **Avg** 24.8 | **Avg** 22.2 | | | Max 27.2 | Max 23.8 | | | Min 21.8 | Min 20.6 | | **Humidity (%)** | **Avg** 62.9 | **Avg** 60.8 | | | Max 68.4 | Max 68.4 | | | Min 48.7 | Min 52.3 | | **PPFD (µmol/m²/s)** | **Avg** 996.3 | **Avg** 0.62 | | | Max 1064 | Max 25 | | | Min 21 | Min 0 | | **VPD (kPa)** | **Avg** 1.17 | **Avg** 1.03 | | | Max 1.51 | Max 1.34 | | | Min 0.81 | Min 0.81 | **Average PPFD week**: **~996 PPFD** (peak at **1064**) **Validated increase**: + ~250 PPFD vs previous week **Stable VPD**: 1.0 – 1.2 kPa (optimal flowering zone) **CO2**: not measured (flowering zone – no visible supplementation) --- ## Observations & Analysis - **Uneven canopy** → 66% of the light captured by 1 plant - **Plant #3**: estimated actual PPFD **300 PPFD** (cast shadow) - **Flowers Day 5**: very small, few sites, excessive aeration → **risk of low yield** - **Roots & solution**: pH 6.32 | EC 2.48 mS/cm | Temp 16.9°C → **correct** - **Average substrate humidity**: 15% → **dry**, to be monitored (risk of water stress) --- ## Recommendations 1. **Strategic defoliation** on dominant plants (lower & inner leaves) 2. **LST / Light Super Cropping** to open the canopy and redirect light to dominated plants 3. **Targeted watering** on the weak plant (slightly reduced EC: 2.0–2.2 mS/cm) 4. **Target PPFD**: maintain **1000–1100 PPFD** on average canopy 5. **VPD**: aim for **1.1–1.3 kPa** (slight decrease in night humidity if possible) --- **Permanent Marker Status**: **In trouble – 2/3 plants sacrificed** **Goal Day 14**: densification of flowers on the main plants **Risk**: final yield 50% of initial potential *Next update: Day 7 Flower* *Photo follow-up + wet weight recommended* **#DognabisCup #PermanentMarker #GrowReport #Week8**

Sadhus # **Dognabis Cup – Week 9 Report (Day 64-70)** **Grower**: @Sadhusfrgrow **Strain**: Permanent Marker **Zone**: FLO (TCS-1) **Plants**: 3 **Date**: November 15, 2025 --- ## **General Observations** - **Growth**: 3 plants, **only 1 has slightly broken through the canopy** (+10-15 cm above the others). The other 2 remain **very behind** (structural delay accumulated since veg). - **Structure**: **Uneven canopy**, but **light and airy flowers** for now → good sign to avoid botrytis. - **Action**: **Added K-Boost** (potassium) to support flowering and densify the buds. - **Phase**: **Week 6 of flower** (beginning of weight gain). --- ## **Summary Table – Week 9 (Day 64-70)** | Parameter | **Day (Oh My God)** | **Night** | **Target** | **Deviation** | **Comment** | |---------|---------------------|--------|---------|---------|---------------| | **Temperature** | 24.4 °C (avg) Max 26.3 °C Min 21.6 °C | 22.2 °C (avg) Max 23.8 °C Min 20.5 °C | 24 °C / 22 °C | ✅ OK | Stable, slight overheating during the day (26.3 °C) | | **Humidity** | 63.2 % (avg) Max 69.3 % Min 51.2 % | 61.1 % (avg) Max 66.6 % Min 52.1 % | 60-65 % | ⚠️ Slight increase | To be monitored, risk of condensation | | **VPD** | 1.14 kPa (day) 1.05 kPa (night) | | 1.0–1.4 kPa | ✅ Optimal | Excellent for early flower | | **PPFD (Light)** | 991 µmol/m²/s (avg day) Max 1064 Min 35 | 1.05 (night) | 900–1000 | ✅ OK | Good intensity, but uneven (canopy) | | **CO2** | — (not measured) | | 900 ppm | ❌ Missing | To be activated if possible | | **Solution (pH / EC / Temp)** | pH 6.08 EC 2.67 mS/cm Temp 16.8 °C | | pH 5.8–6.2 EC 2.4–2.8 | ✅ OK | EC a bit high → monitor for lockout | | **Average (substrate)** | Moist 21 % | | 15–25 % | ✅ OK | Well-managed substrate | --- ## **Detailed Analysis** ### ✅ **Positive Points** - **Perfect VPD** (1.1–1.2 kPa) → optimal transpiration, good absorption. - **Airy flowers** → low risk of mold for now. - **K-Boost added** → good timing to densify the buds (week 6 flower). - **Average PPFD at 991** → within the target zone for flower. ### ⚠️ **Points to Correct** - **Very uneven canopy** → 1 plant dominates, the other 2 are behind → **yield loss**. - **Humidity at day 65%** at times → risk of botrytis if flowers densify. - **Solution EC at 2.67 mS/cm** → a bit high → risk of tip burn. - **CO2 not measured** → untapped potential. --- ## **Goals for Week 10 (Day 71-77)** | Goal | Action | Target | |--------|-------|-------| | **Even out canopy** | LST / light staking on the dominant plant | Reduce deviation to
