Pattyirish84 🌿 4-Plant Perpetual Rotation | Auto Run Log 🌿 ​Strains: Mephisto – Guava Fig (x2) & Ravenberry (x2) Medium: Pro-Mix HP Lighting: 2x Vivosun AeroLight A200SE (with the integrated center fans) Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (G/M/B), B-52, Voodoo Juice ​📅 Days 3–6 ​Environment: Kept them tucked away in the nursery setup under a gentle baseline. ​Climate: Air temps around 24°C–25°C, keeping humidity high to protect the young root systems. ​Development: All four girls established their initial single and 3-finger leaf sets. Slow and steady, focusing entirely on driving taproots downward. ​📅 Day 7 ​Watering / Nutrients: Transitioned the girls into their first light nutrient menu. ​Volume: 0.5L each pot, applied in a precise outer ring to force root expansion. ​Mix Recipe (per Liter): * 0.5 mL/L Grow / Micro / Bloom (Base) ​0.5 mL/L B-52 ​2.0 mL/L Voodoo Juice ​Observations: Fabric pots were nice and light before watering. The ring application worked perfectly, leaving a dry buffer of Pro-Mix HP around the perimeter to force those roots to stretch out horizontally. ​📅 Day 8 ​The Move: Chopped the flower tent and cleared the space out. Moved all 4 girls into their permanent 4x4 home under the dual AeroLight footprint. ​Tent Layout: Spaced the 5-gallon fabric pots out evenly. Set the lights at 31" high and 65% intensity, mapping a safe, rock-solid 250 PPFD across the canopy to avoid any transplant or environment shock. ​Humidifier Setup: Running the humidifier outside the tent and piping the hose straight inside, aimed directly into the path of an oscillating fan. This completely clears out the center floor space so there's zero blocked light and flawless cross-airflow. ​📅 Day 9 [TODAY] ​Current Climate: * Ambient Air Temp: 24.5°C ​Leaf Surface Temp (IR Gun): 22.5°C ​Leaf Temp Offset: Perfect -2.0°C deficit. ​RH: Sitting comfortably at 65%–68%. ​Light Intensity: Keeping it locked at 250 PPFD for the weekend. ​Development & Standouts: * The girls are officially shifting out of the seedling phase and into early veg, actively pushing out their first true 5-finger leaf sets. ​Guava Fig 2 has emerged as the clear powerhouse of the tent. It's staying incredibly squat with massive leaf width and tight node stacking, currently charging hard into node 4. ​Ravenberry 2 is matching the pace perfectly with a slightly sharper, hybrid-style leaf structure. ​Guava Fig 1 & Ravenberry 1 are looking healthy and cruising right behind the lead pack. ​Next Steps: Leaving them completely alone now to let those 0.5L rings dry back down until the pots are feather-light. Just going to monitor their growth over the weekend as they settle into early vegetative growth.

Pattyirish84 ​🌿 4-Plant Perpetual Rotation | Auto Run Log 🌿 ​Strains: Mephisto – Guava Fig (x2) & Ravenberry (x2) Medium: Pro-Mix HP Lighting: 2x Vivosun AeroLight A200SE Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (G/M/B), B-52, Voodoo Juice ​📅 Days 14–15 ​Environment: Kept the tent climate highly stable to match the expanding root footprint. Transpiration rates are stepping up noticeably. Development: The girls have officially broken out of the early vegetative stage. Broad fan leaves are developing across the board, catching maximum light and showing an aggressive uptick in daily water consumption. ​📅 Days 16–18 ​Watering / Nutrients: Pots are drying out much faster now, cutting the dry-back window down significantly. Moving into a regular watering routine to feed their accelerating metabolic needs. Volume: Stepped the volume up to 1.1L–1.2L per pot, poured in a wider perimeter ring to keep pulling the root zone out toward the edges of the 5-gallon fabrics. Mix Recipe: Kept the feeding clean and dialed in using a low-EC baseline of the Advanced Nutrients trio, backed by the root and growth stimulators to support heavy cellular division. ​📅 Days 19–20 ​Controller Calibration: Monitored the Vivosun controller settings closely as the canopy fills out. Maintained a steady target to combat the higher humidity spikes from the increased plant transpiration. Tracked the -3°C leaf temperature deficit with the IR gun to ensure the true live Leaf VPD stayed locked right around 0.95–1.05 kPa—keeping them right on the money for peak vegetative expansion. ​📅 Day 21 [TODAY] ​Current Climate: ​Ambient Air Temp: 26°C ​Leaf Surface Temp (IR Gun): 23°C ​RH: 56% ​True Leaf VPD: 1.05 kPa (Perfect sweet spot) ​Development & Structural Standouts: ​The vegetative boom is in full swing. Trunks are gaining serious thickness and woody stamina while remaining completely pliable. Node spacing is beautifully tight and stacked. ​Ravenberry 2 remains the standout for raw structural complexity, throwing wide lateral shoots that are pushing hard past the main fan leaves. ​Ravenberry 1 is matching the hybrid vigor, staying perfectly flat, broad, and praying daily under the AeroLights. ​The Guava Figs (1 & 2) are maintaining an incredibly compact, tight footprint, building massive node symmetry and heavy center crowns. ​Next Steps / Training Strategy: Moving into Day 22 tomorrow, the stalks are officially at the exact size and flexibility I've been waiting for. Skipping any topping to avoid genetic stalls. The game plan for tonight/tomorrow morning is to initiate the first heavy round of low-stress training (LST). Going to pin the main stems down flat to smash apical dominance, open up the center blocks, and give all those strong lower alternating lateral nodes a clear shot at the light before the pre-flower stretch takes over

Pattyirish84 GROW LOG: DAYS 22–28 (LST INITIATION TO CANOPY RECOVERY) ​📅 Days 22–24 ​Training / LST Initiation: Officially broke apical dominance across the tent. Utilizing soft garden wire anchored to the fabric pot rims, the main stems were pinned down flat to open up the core of the plants. ​Development: The response was near-instantaneous. Within 24 hours of breaking the main crowns, the lower alternating lateral nodes exploded upward, racing to catch the level of the main heads. ​Watering / Nutrients: Upped watering volume to 3.0L per pot to match the massive structural expansion, maintaining a clean, conservative nutrient profile at 615 PPM (1.23 EC) with a pH of 6.25 to feed the accelerating cell division. ​📅 Days 25–27 ​Canopy Management & Fine-Tuning: The lateral branching pushed out aggressively, completely transforming the tent footprint. Performed minor leaf-tucking daily to keep light paths clear to the inner shoots. ​Ravenberrys (Back Row): Showed exceptional hybrid vigor, spreading wide horizontally and threatening to outpace the front row. ​Guava Figs (Front Row): Maintained thick, meaty stalks with tight node symmetry, building dense, highly uniform branch networks. ​Climate Calibration: Pushed the AeroLights up to 80% intensity (approx. 400 PPFD). Kept environmental parameters locked in via the Vivosun controller, ensuring a -3°C leaf temperature deficit remained stable for a true Leaf VPD of 0.95–1.05 kPa. ​📅 Day 27 [YESTERDAY / LATE NIGHT] ​Heavy Training & Strategic Shift: With the pre-flower stretch looming, the plants went through a massive overhaul. Executed a comprehensive second round of aggressive LST, pulling the main side branches flat out toward the pot edges to maximize the full 4x4 footprint. ​Heavy Defoliation: Pivoted to a heavy undercanopy cleanup. Completely stripped out lower shaded larf, low-lying fan leaves, and selected inner fan leaves choking the main hubs. Opened up 100% direct light penetration to every developing node site and optimized airflow through the bottom 4 inches of the tent. ​Heavy Feeding Spike: Irrigated with 4.0L per pot at a highly concentrated 1350 EC (675 PPM) and 6.25 pH (1.5 mL/L G/M/B, 1.0 mL/L B-52, Sensizym, and Cal-Mag). The pots were bone-dry and absorbed the full volume with zero runoff, pushing the root zone food availability to its absolute ceiling. Left the Ravenberrys showing minor, pinpoint bright yellow warning tips on the newest growth—confirming maximum saturation. ​📅 Day 28 [TODAY] ​Current Climate: ​Light Intensity: Pushed to 90% power | 450–515 PPFD across all tops (32–37 DLI / 20/4 schedule) ​Ambient Air Temp: 26°C ​Leaf Surface Temp (IR Gun): 23°C ​RH: 58% ​True Leaf VPD: 1.05 kPa (Perfect sweet spot) ​Development & Structural Standouts: ​Fears of genetic stalling after the heavy cleanup have been completely erased. The plants showed incredible resilience; within hours of the cuts and re-ties, the main stalks and lateral petioles were actively twisting and standing right back up to face the increased 90% light intensity. ​The center hubs are completely hollowed out, beautifully organized, and 100% illuminated. The canopy is shaped into a perfectly uniform, wide-spread geometric grid primed for the vertical stretch. ​Next Steps / Irrigation Strategy: ​Guava Figs (Front Row): Still holding decent moisture weight from the 4L soak. Continuing their dry-back window; watering is on hold. ​Ravenberrys (Back Row): Pots are officially light, airy, and fully oxygenated after drying out completely overnight, allowing the fresh defoliation wounds to callouse over safely. ​The Morning Action Item: Initiating a softer reset flush feed for the Ravenberrys only. Dropping the mix to 1.0–1.1 EC (500–550 PPM) at 6.20–6.25 pH, but pushing the volume to 4.5L–5.0L to guarantee a deliberate 10–15% runoff. This will clear the residual salt buildup from the previous zero-runoff event and stabilize the medium under the new high-PPFD light engine.

Pattyirish84 🌿 4-Plant Perpetual Rotation | Auto Run Log 🌿 Strains: Mephisto – Guava Fig (x2) & Ravenberry (x2) Medium: Pro-Mix HP Lighting: 2x Vivosun AeroLight A200SE (with the integrated center fans) Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (G/M/B), B-52, Sensizym, Cal-Mag ​📅 Days 29–33 Training & Canopy Management: Full-tilt low-stress training (LST) and selective defoliation phase. Spent the week pinning down the main stems and pulling the dominant side branches outward to shatter apical dominance. Executed a targeted defoliation pass on Guava Fig 1 and the front-right plants to open up the internal frames. Development: Total transformation. The girls completely blanketed the 4x4 footprint, transitioning aggressively into the early bloom vertical stretch. White pistils are popping everywhere, and the inner nodes that were opened up by the leaf clearing are now getting direct light. ​📅 Day 34 Watering / Nutrients: Fed the Ravenberries and Guava Fig 1 after they hit a nice, dry back. Volume: 5.5L – 6.0L per pot to achieve full media saturation with a clean, minimal runoff. Mix Recipe (per Liter): ​1.5 mL/L Grow / Micro / Bloom (Base) ​1.0 mL/L B-52 ​1.0 mL/L Sensizym ​1.0 mL/L Cal-Mag Observations: Target inputs clocked in perfectly at 1.5 EC and ~6.1 pH. The vascular systems on these girls are wide open—they are drinking heavy volumes every 48 hours without a single speck of tip burn or nutrient clawing. ​📅 Day 35 [TODAY] Current Climate: ​Ambient Air Temp: 24.0°C – 25.0°C ​RH: Dialed in for early flower VPD targets. Light Intensity: Dropped the fixtures down to 18" above the canopy, dimming slightly to pull a beautifully uniform 450–600 PPFD across the entire flat carpet of green. Development & Standouts: ​Every single plant has perked up and is actively "praying" after the recent feeds. The canopy is exceptionally level, carrying an estimated 55 to 65+ total primary bud sites across the tent. ​Guava Fig 1 & 2 are in a completely different league compared to my last solo Guava run. Instead of a single Christmas tree profile, LST has forced them into wide, flat, multi-topped bushes that are utilizing every square inch of the front half of the tent. ​Ravenberry 1 & 2 are crushing the back row, throwing down an impressive 16 to 18 distinct, level colas on the back-left plant alone. ​Minor Note: Noticed a few very minor, isolated rust freckles starting to peek out on a couple of mid-tier leaves—likely just a standard mid-bloom Calcium fluctuation or minor pH drift as they aggressively ramp up their flower production. Keeping a close eye on it, but it's very localized. Next Steps: Guava Fig 2 just hit a feather-light dry weight today, so she gets the exact same 1.5 EC morning brew to finish synchronizing the entire tent baseline. Putting the scissors away completely for the next 7 to 10 days to let them cruise through the rest of this stretch without stress. Looking into prepping a supportive SCROG net to hang a few inches above the tops next week to act as a structural safety net before these buds get too heavy to hold themselves up!

Pattyirish84 🌿 4-Plant Perpetual Rotation | Auto Run Log 🌿 ​Strains: Mephisto – Guava Fig (x2) & Ravenberry (x2) Medium: Pro-Mix HP Lighting: 2x Vivosun AeroLight A200SE (Wings Flat) + 1x Viparspectra XS1500 Pro (Center Bridge) Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect (G/M/B), Cal-Mag, Voodoo Juice, Bud Candy ​📅 Days 35–42 Training & Canopy Management: Shifting gears into structural stabilization and light grid engineering. Spent the early part of the week optimizing the multi-light footprint to handle the massive, wall-to-wall green mattress we've built. Put the scissors away completely to let the girls cruise through the tail end of the stretch entirely stress-free. Dropped a supportive trellis net over the tops to act as a structural safety net, spreading out the secondary branches and locking down a beautifully flat, uniform canopy matrix before things get too heavy to hold themselves up. ​Lighting & Footprint Engineering: Major optimization pass on the combined array this week to flatten the PAR map. Noticed the center aisle was pulling a hot spike over 700 PPFD, which is a bit too intense for a 20-hour light cycle without supplemental CO_2. Made a quick adjustment to seamlessly cross-blend the fixtures: ​Vivosun AeroLights (Left & Right): Set completely flat (0° wing angle) to throw maximum light width out to the flanks. Positioned at 18"–20" and running at 100% power. ​Viparspectra XS1500 Pro (Center): Positioned to act as a gentle bridge between the flanking units, running dialed in at 50% power. ​This completely balanced the grid, dialing in a beautifully uniform 600 PPFD average across the entire flat carpet of green, giving the plants maximum energy to process their heavy bloom feeds without pushing the highest hotspots past the safe limit. ​📅 Day 42 [TODAY] Watering / Nutrients: The vascular systems on these girls are running at maximum velocity. The two massive Ravenberries in the back row are completely emptying their pots on a strict 48-hour dry-back cycle, demanding a heavy volume of 6L of fluid per pot to achieve full media saturation with a clean, salt-clearing runoff. The smaller, front-right Guava Fig is running about 24 hours behind on her dry-backs due to a more compact structural footprint, so she is being managed on an individual, staggered timeline. ​Stepped up the recipe base concentration to match the high metabolic rate driven by the dialed-in light intensity: Mix Recipe (per Liter): ​2.0 mL/L Grow / Micro / Bloom (Base) ​2.0 mL/L Cal-Mag ​1.0 mL/L Voodoo Juice ​1.0 mL/L Bud Candy ​Input Readings: ​pH: 6.26 ​EC: 1844 mus/cm (1.84 EC) ​Liquid Temp: 78.0°F ​Observations: ​Total explosion of frost. Early flower buttons have officially graduated into distinct, frosty crown clusters. Bright white, straight pistils are shooting out rapidly, and heavy resin production is starting to spill heavily onto the surrounding sugar leaves. ​The canopy looks phenomenally healthy, with every single branch tip actively "praying" toward the fixtures. The genetic variety is putting on a real show: the Ravenberries are showing a gorgeous, dark forest-green profile, while the Guava Figs carry a vibrant hybrid green. The smaller front-right Guava Fig has caught up beautifully in flower development, packing identical bud site maturity to the larger girls. ​The plants are responding incredibly well to being pushed right to the "nutrient redline." The upper leaf tips are showing tiny, neon-yellow fingers—the ultimate proof that the root zones are fully utilizing every single drop of fuel without tipping over into actual nutrient burn. The isolated rust freckles from last week have been completely halted by the 2.0 mL/L Cal-Mag bump and stabilized root zone pH. ​A highly noticeable, sweet berry aroma is now breaking out heavily whenever the tent is unzipped. ​Next Steps: Keep riding this exact 1.84 EC wave and 48-hour watering frequency for the big girls. With this much volume moving through the tent, keeping a strict eye on the exhaust fan to maintain strict mid-bloom VPD targets as these clusters start to stack, swell, and densify. A pound is looking like a conservative baseline for this tent—we are structurally on track for a very heavy harvest.
