Position TrolMaster Tent-X Box on tent and connect to internet. Temperature ,Light and humidity sensor is great, I lake that all sensors and connector boxes are on RJ connectors
Great and fast install, registration and connections off all cables, censors and light! Like ability to expand system with Aqua-X and Hydor-X for irrigation ,PH/ EC/Temp monitoring off nutrient tank
Controlling solenoid valves and pump will be SUPERB!!! Recycling type off timer are great for Aero misting!
With Inkbird equipment i have issues that all connections are permanent and if you have longer cables....π‘
HLG Scorpion Diablo LED light is connect via LMA-14 light adapter ! Wow i can control dimming and timing off my light via Wi-Fiππππππ

Reducing humidity in night time below 50% , humidifier rise temperature to 22-23c at night
Day RH is 53%, in first two hours keeping temps and humidity lower to reduce deferential form night time to 1-2c
Don't want to have more than 10-15cm off stretch in next week
Girls drink more water and nutrients every day, think around 10-12l per day
Managing EC strength with adding slightly higher nutrients solution when top up tank. Overall its around 0.9-1.0EC for most of the time
PH is stabile , slowly rise in small increments. Need to adjust @ 6.2 to 5.9 every two-three days. Probably i will leave it to swing even more.
Diablo is at 80% power @ 45-55cm from top canopy, 900+PPFD in center, lowest corners get 650+

Remove some large fan leaves from all girls. Nothing crazy. Next week is final BIG defoliation and pruning
Clean room benches a little bit after defoliation.
Whole week all girls are doing great , no sign off any kind off stress or deficiencies. Superb fast growth.
Stretching is more apparent in the end off this week. Next week is going to be madness!

I love Sweet Seeds for the incredible variety of possibilities it offers and F1 or FVs that are, I am practically a sort of autoflowering that you have to send in bloom with the classic passage 18> 12 typical of photoperiodes. What purpose does it serve? Be the lovers of the topping have already understood me, the autoflowering are difficult to work as well as almost all flourish too early for this technique. Send in bloom whenever you want to make topping and have a very fast bloom of 6 weeks. In fact she's the only fast and it's much later than anything so much that I started the booster.
Feeding >>> Plagron Alga Bloom 4ml / lt + Green sensation 1 ml / lt

Total days above ground: 70
Total flower nights: 31
Vege growth stopped around FD25. Started feeding 1/2 strength fertilizer FD26 (last 6 irrigations including today). Excellent development across the canopy. Tried to get some pictures showing how the colas are stacking up along with a couple shots of terminal buds. Included some photos and videos of irrigation setup, drainage and other half of the tent setup that is not often visible in weekly updates. Also, a video showing the canopy with some grateful dead background music. Last week including progression pictures as they are full size.
Well, I still don't like the structure, but this plant has really turned on the jets in mid flower. More bud sites than I expected but because I had to HST it, It is crowding AM3 and probably not helping the runt of the litter by doing so, lol. The smell on this plant is a mix of fuel and a hint of mint at one time, but the gas smell is overtaking it at this stage. The aroma is a big reason why i'll use it as a pollen-donator and hope that the lanky trait gets toned down with hybridization. My bets fem-seed outcome was two lanky plants and that most certainly got toned down in the offspring. I think it's related to too much inbreeding because of the much better structure found in the F1 offspring.
Smell is starting to ratchet up. Bud sites are mostly formed at this point and we will see some noticable ripening by next week's update. Might see a hint of fattening calyxes in the bud pictures this week.
2026-2 starts in 8 days. Will have some Blue Cookies and Pineapple Express from MSNL running along side some Vanilla Creme Pie from HSC. Can't believe winter-2 is already starting. Time is flying by. Breeding cycle is doing well. Will update that when the pollen-receivers join the pollen-donator on a 12/12 light schedule.
Side note -- looks like I avoided any issues from accidentally leaving port hole opened about 8 or 9 days ago. I have it marked in notes and will feel 100% confident 2-weeks out from the incident. So far, so good. The lung room is mostly dark and light would have to travel a difficult path to get in the tent, but still mildly concerned about it.

Ci siamo! Siamo arrivati quasi al traguardo...questi giorni le ragazze sono al loro massimo splendore e l'odore nella stanza e fortissimo! Anche questo aggiornamento Γ¨ stato fatto grazie all'aiuto di mia madre che gentilmente mi ha tenuto e curato le bambine, sono contento perchΓ© sembra che Γ¨ riuscita a seguire tutte le mie istruzioni e questa volta non ci sono stati problemi...Γ¨ la prima volta che mi capita di competere in un contest e farmi mandare foto per mail..chiedo scusa se la messa a fuoco non Γ¨ sempre delle migliori e personalmente non posso chiedere di meglio, Γ¨ un lavoro che mi serviva e sono dovuto partire lasciando tutto indietro...tornando ai nostri fiori, il green sensation di Plagron devo dire che ha fatto la differenza, contando che il cibo questa volta Γ¨ stato preparato interamente da me, ha fatto un ottimo lavoro e i fiori sembrano dirlo forte! CercherΓ² di aggiornare l'ultimo step prima della fine...tra due giorni farΓ² tagliare le ragazze! A presto!!!

Not much going on yet. Added some 3d printed supports to make sure they don't start flopping over. Not sure if it's the strain, or my idiocy, but these bastards are soooo leggy. Grr. Watering daily to 15% runoff with MegaCrop 2 part in RO at 0.6EC and 5.6pH. Found Mega Crop gives very stable pH on the right range without any pH up or down needed. Took one day off (3/18) watering to water with Silica Boost at 6ml/gal concentration pHed to 5.4. PPFD 300 at canopy for DLI of 20. PPFD was about 20 for first week while I was prepping and sanitizing the grow room, which might explain the leggyness. If they don't look better after topping, I might pull them and try a different strain.
3/20 - this grow is inspired by the techniques of Bruce Bugbee (PPFD, nutrition, EC monitoring, substrate, environment, etc) and the concept of VPD control, both of which served me very well in the past. The grow room has dual PID controls in my PLC regulating the temperature and humidity to lock in the VPD based on plant age. In later veg and flower, I had CO2 injection on a PID, but that ultimately failed because I couldn't get the humidity down as it got huge. Had too many vent cycles. This year, hope to source or kludge an in-line dehumidifier so I can keep the sealed chamber where it needs to be without wasting CO2.
3/22 no more vertical growth, thank god, leaves and roots are slowly catching up. Patience. EC to 0.7

After defoliation everything runs calm and fats up ;)
Now i even hate that girl with leafs. Other girls i can put a lot tighter and under more intence light ... Her lower buds look like air and her leafs are in the way of everybody
;))) we shall see final weight...
Think thats the last week of feed. Only ph water after for couple more ...
Smells realy fantastic !!
P.s. its just hard not to show that other fathers 9th sister ;))) Choco Lopez Auto - my new love ;)
P.s.2 some night shots. Stoped CalMag already. I see some milky , so its time to plan flush soon.
P.s. 3 have two dominant girls. Both will be fun to weight.
Gave all girls first breeze of autumn. During one night only 15 cel. Only two girls will have last feeding and flush will start from day 50.
Days will be shorted to 11 hours.

Weekly update on these magnificent girls. They're flowering great and smelling even better. Half of the bunch look as they'll be finishing up in the next couple weeks. This strain grows fast and I can't wait to sample some. The purple pheno produces some picture perfect flowers. π

All in all a great genetic. Grew into insane colas. The photos above are of only half the total yeild as I have 8oz bagged up and sealed. After a weeks curing it has improved but not enough to really blow me away. I'll be back to seek my revenge in the future but for now its goodbye.
