MedioMan First week i gave also BioBizz - Root Juice (1ml/L).
I hope they will grow despite the heat.
Pics are taken at first day of second week, after first fertilization with BioGrow.
I would love to try 24h schedule, but i prefer not 'cause the temperature is already between 27and29 during the day

MedioMan Hi everyone!
this week was very interesting..many things happened and i did many changes to my setup.
1) In the beginning of the 3° week I moved the babies in the new Autopot (2x8.5L) i bought. This is becose I heard so many good things about Autopot that I decided to give a try. Also during the summer I'll go in vacation and I want to see if the autowatering system will work.
After transplanting the plants into the new Autopots, i'll wait a full week before filling the tank with water.
2) I changed fertilizers to be more effective with the new Autopot. I bought a "BioTabs Kit" and used it on the new Autopot soil
3) I changed the angle of the lights. In this way i think the plants will receive more light and better spread along the plant.
4) I have successfully added a "mini air-conditioner" in the growing space, so now the temperature is around 26-28 during hottest hours of the day, and around 20-22 during the coldest. For now i'm satisfied, but in the future i'll think about something else to add.
5) SAD STORY: my left plant was attacked by red spiders. I treated it with "Spider Plant". Now the left one is starting to grow normally. Also on the right one i found one little red spider, but after using the product also on that, now the problem seems disappeared. I will keep use the "Spider Plant" during next days if I see other spiders.
6) I'm thinking about topping the right one and doing some LST on left one (it's already weaker than the other, I don't want to push it too much). I'll try to post photos of the operations!
PS: for the amount of fertilizer used, i followed the instructions of BioTabs, since there are precise intructions for my Autopot setup.
Day 20: I topped the right one (i cut on the 5th node)

MedioMan Partial Week update (I'll try to give more details on next days, meanwhile you can enjoy these new cool pictures that a friend photographer took)
Hi friends!
This week i fought against 2 terrible enemies: red spiders and the heat.
Red spiders are considerably less, but sometimes I still see one or two on the leafs. I removed the most infected leafs (they had white spots on them) and I kept using the product against red spiders. Hopefully next week I'll not see them anymore.
The heat is maybe a worst enemy, because there is not much i can do but this is what i tried:
1) I changed the light schedule -> now during the hottest hours of the day the lights are OFF (i will keep some C° less, but i'll have less change in temperature between "night and day")
2) I lifted up some cm more the lights
3) I putted in the box some Ice pack that i change regularly and added a new internal fan
Results: the temperature in the box is more or less the same temperature in the room (29/30°) during the hottest hours :( :(
Everything else is going well and the plants seems to grow fine despite these problems.
Update:
I 3dprinted some tools for Low Stress Training (you can see the pic above). I'm very happy with these
Left one is still too small in my opinion to start LST
Heat is a friend of the red spider, which is why both problems usually occur together.
That's curious, I'll try to print myself with my 3d printer some tutor. 😉
Sweet smokes!
