Notes, nothing special going on besides the plants dropping on the last 3 hours of the light cycle. Still not sure what the problem is. If anyone has any ideas they can see how they look the last 10 min of the light cycle. (12/31/2020 pic)
3D printed a custom model to hold water line in a circle around each plant and xacto knifed small holes in the hose. Incorporated auto watering once a day for 1 minute.

Happy New Year!
Topped the plants today, cleared under growth.
Lowered light back down for the lower canopy height.
Changed automatic watering to 2 min every 24 hours to see how much water comes out. (Mark water bucket line, Mark again after watering, measure how much water it takes to fill back to top line). Will update entry with results.

Increased light power output to 70%
Started to LST Chempie. I'll remove the fan leaves underneath after the plant heals)
Added daily picture.

LST Chempie a little more. Gonna be tough to keep the plant height in range with the other plants

Finishing this weeks entry. I will start next weeks entry in a couple days.
The electronic stuff is just something I'm playing around with. Soil / Temp / Humidity arduino sensors.

Hey Man! Question on the chempie. I see you topped the main stem. Ripper seeds recommends FIMing this strain. So if I planned on FIMing the main top, will the main stem keep stretching? Or will it stop where I FIM? Just trying to get an idea of how tall itโll get.
@AccyStoner25, Hey there! I read the Ripper Seeds description recommending FIMing on the Chempie as well. This is my first grow in ~7 years so I can't speak from experience. But from what I read is that Topping/FIMing share similar goals. One of them being having the plant start growing laterally https://herbiesheadshop.com/blog/topping-vs-fimming
I am using Nebulaโs Manifold "Main-Lining" https://www.growweedeasy.com/manifold which uses the Topping technique.
Chempie is vigerous for sure, but with Topping or FIMing along with LST she(hopefully) is manageable.
