purpleme Here we go again. The focus is on crop steering this round. Since Space Coast Gelato is known for thick buds, we're trying to generate some serious mass. Accordingly, now after the stretch, we're giving plenty of water to push the EC in the substrate. Photos are from bt29.

purpleme I'm slowly lowering the p1 value a bit through larger drybacks to gradually adjust everything for ripening this week. They're confidently swelling, and depending on how they continue to develop this week, I'll either keep them in the vegetative stage a few days longer or switch to generative earlier.

purpleme so far they are doing well. I'm now slowly lowering the drain in p2 to raise the EC, so that by the middle to end of this new flowering week, I can switch back to generative to improve the quality. The temperatures are giving me trouble, which is why I might leave them in about 28 hours of darkness depending on the weather, to go against the sun, so that the lights turn on at night to lower the temperatures.

purpleme BT 50 📷 We are leisurely making our way towards the finish line. A lot of mass isn't coming anymore and the quality is also only coming gradually. According to the plan, it still has 6 days, which it should realistically manage. Terps 🍋🍨 and some Kush in the background. I'm curious about the weight. It's really full of thick fat buds hanging down. 📷 had to be loaded but video will follow on ?day. Next genetics: Jack Murphy(Clearwater) Blue Ners x Crippy(Clearwater) Blue Zushi(cutting from Woodpeckers Farms) Mimozz(Perfect Tree Seeds)

purpleme BT57 just a couple more days until ? Color, smell, and a bit more trichomes have been added in the last week. The top buds already have 0.5% amber, and as soon as the percentage is full, they will come down. I can't capture the lower buds properly with the lens. Either too close, the undercanopy seems to shine through, or the size is not clear due to the relations. They are hanging down there, however, quite full. Nothing below B buds.

At the slightest light spark, they realize it's daytime, and then they're just stressed. I had it in my network that they were tweeting about day/night swap with him because his tent wasn't lightproof, just for your info.

@Momentum, I currently have a bit of light leak from the dehumidifier that I can't properly darken because it shines through the plastic. So far, it hasn't bothered me. Since they're going to be done soon anyway, I can try it without serious losses. I have light traps, as well as intake and exhaust, so the tent should theoretically be sealed. I even locked myself in the tent for a few minutes during the day at the beginning, and it was actually pitch dark. So, I'll try it when it gets really warmer. An air conditioner would be quite a significant investment. I don't really understand it anyway. The outdoor plants don't start to hermie directly at full moon either, which can also be quite bright. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences!
