Week 8 was solid. The plants themselves didn't give me trouble, although, my (cheap) exhaust fan did... :/ As much of an inconvenience as it seemed for my fan to give out during flower, I still had an older (weaker) exhaust fan I could setup in the mean time and although it isn't as strong, it is reliable and my temps haven't gotten too out of hand.
Over all, I'd say that the plants have taken well to their environment. It definitely isn't perfect but despite my minimal issues with regulating humidity, the girls seem to be growing just fine. Considering the fact that I am growing in SoCal during the summer & using no air conditioning, I'd say mid - low 80's with little to no temperature swings at night, is pretty solid!
I've also looked into more information regarding VPD. I've been hearing more about it while doing research and although it's still a new concept to me, It is something to take into consideration; especially since I am running a warmer tent. I just want to make sure that the ratio of temps. - humidity are within an optimal range.
Early in the week I gave my plants a feeding of diluted rice water which they responded to well. A couple days later I watered my plants & realized I still had some fish bone meal from my last grow so I decided to put a top dressing on for some slow releasing phosphorus. I think this coming week I will keep to my water schedule and allow for the plants to uptake the nutrients from the fish bone meal. If I add anything else to the feeding schedule it will be diluted garlic peel water & african wild honey of course!

@OhcanaDAbiz Thanks dude! I've really enjoyed experimenting this grow and I have a few things that I want to improve upon in the next grow.๐ช It's all about learning in the end; I don't want to get stuck doing the same things over and over when I'm sure I could get better results in tweaking things here and there as I go!!!๐๐
@@Ssomeguy, Thank you, they are looking so healthy!! I have a new inline fan thats on the way too so humidity will be in check in no time and then I'll be happy lol!
