Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online. Harvesting soon.

Went home for Mardi Gras for 3 and a half days and came back to ladies loving life. I kinda over watered these ladies because I knew I wasn鈥檛 gonna be able to water them while gone and it worked out perfect I guess clan ask for anything more. The Black Cream auto shod be on the path to just focusing on bud development. She grew a half an inch this week so hopefully that the most she gonna stretch. Buds smell sweet somewhat strong. The Green Poison is on her way to be a monster jus now entering her flower phase. She may be going for 12 weeks at this rate none the less I jus going with the flow making sure I鈥檓 paying attention to plant and how she reacting each day. I don鈥檛 really see anyone using the dry amendments ,let alone the medium I鈥檓 using, so I I鈥檓 jus doing what鈥檚 recommended on the bag and letting the plant tell me so far can鈥檛 complain

Day 1 flower lights on 100% 640w draw. Felt amazing inside right when I unzipped the tent, I wanted to chill in the tropical climate. I will still continue to add humic, organic booster, to water. Now along with 1/2 tbsp of soluble PK (bluesky organics FLOWER2). This will bring my natural ph to 6.5ish bringing it down without the need for "ph down" in solution. I will try to get into Dr. Thunder today and remove some more foliage of what I couldn't reach last night. day5 video, showing off custom spectrum. CW, NW, R on 100%, UVA and IR off. IR will make things stretch more, UVA is off because no trics yet. I added a lot of 7month old coffee grounds I've been saving for N boost, then finding out I had 17-0-0 blood meal. I also started to add very little soluble PK into 5 gal along with normal watering ingredients, like always. I am verry happy with things are until day 19-21 where defoliation again.

This week I did a single topping at the 5th node. Along with this I applied low stress training and tucking to expose the new growth.

June 30, 2020 update: Fast Buds Cream Cookies... I have a total of 4 Cream Cookies going right now - 2 outdoors and 2 indoors. All 4 have started to start showing small bud sites in the last week. I still consider this part of the vegetative stage personally. Once I've seen the stretch occur and also see dime sized buds, then I consider the plant to be in flower. The 2 indoors are bigger with more nodes and bushier overall. They are growing on a 19/5 light cycle under a 315w CMH. I feed them all the same regimen of nutrients (Fox Farm Trio at 75% recommended strength). If its raining, the indoor plants may get an extra feeding. We have gotten a lot of (much needed) rain this week so I think I've only fed once in the past week, but they seems to love the fresh rain too. The outdoor plants are 16-20" in height, the indoor are 20-22" in height. I have one indoor and one outdoor plant that both show some discoloration on the leaves. When I look it up it looks most similar to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) and there does not seem like there is much that can be done for TMV. I'm just gonna let them rock and see how they turn out. At this point my prediction is for a larger yield indoors, but I'm hoping for a better flavor and high from the outdoor. Also, I have a separate diary comparing only the Cream Cookies - check it out!!! 馃槂 Anyone interested in the other girls growing along side of the Cream Cookies can check out the other diary I have going "Dudes Summer Catch All Diary" I'm looking forward to next weeks update, I'm expecting lots of growth and more buds! I may also bend them all over at a 45 degree angle this week. I'll be using LST this time, instead of HST. The HST I performed on the Lemon Cream Kush seemed to be too harsh for her and had me worried for several days afterwards. Thanks for checking in! Please comment, like and feel free to ask any questions!馃挭

Flowers got really dense like bricks, also the lower ones. Felt like starting the flush at the point I鈥檓 at to have the cleanest smoke possible. Have around 2 weeks to go, or till i have strong yellowing. Flushing with terpinator, flowers still getting bigger.

11/4 Week 6 Light training to get the buds in light and keep her dry. Watered 11/3 one gal @6.5PH - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo syrup 5ml Just keeping an eye on her 11/5 Gorgeous smell coming off her purple buds, reminds me of a taffy shop. Drooling over her Growing well got her into the canopy better. 11/7 Update and bragging! Watering/feeding day today, she loved it! She is turning so pretty! The deep purple looks like fairies stole in the night and are using the little brushes to color her leaves. He hairs stand tall! First strain I have seen with them this tall. The smell is sweet with a warmed fruit smell...for those that bake, closest I can come. Still have some questions as if this is a true Runtz. From her coloring and bud development and her leaf shaping she is a good match. Have added some close ups of my lady for anyone out there wanting to take a stab at figuring her out, any info would be welcome. 1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml

I chopped the Glookies on day 70F, on day 74F I decided to chop the remaining GMO and Acapulco Gold. I didn't feed or water the last week as the soil was still pretty moist and I wanted to harvest soon-ish anyways, they faded quickly in the last few days.

Ultima semana!! Esperemos asi sea jaja Bueno el engorde es notorio, la resina ha aumentado y el olor cada vez mas fuerte. Comienza el lavado, a tratar de llegar a 0 EC en el corte. Esta genetica ha presentado 2 fenotipos, uno con pistilos mas largos, cogollo mas denso y mas verde. Asi mismo tiene un aroma a citrico con un toque muy dulce. El otro feno es mas puntiagudo, el cogollo es mas violeta, pistilos mas cortos y menos cantidad. En cuanto a resina van similares. Y el olor es mas 谩cido, con un toque fresco.

Howdy growfessors 馃懡, the outdoors ladies are growing nicely. Not much to say except that now that the last 4 days of rain are done and the sun is shining, I expect these ladies will take a jump in size/growth.
