She has left the Sunset Sherberts behind, and deciced to take advantage of the nice and toasty environment. Jedi (her name) has finally broken through. Steady at 21.5-24 C. RH at 65-75% with Spider Farmer Huimidifier and Dehumidifier, shooting for VPD. (day 1)
Let's quickly review the key new components I've planned to integrate or have already:
Circulation Pump - Adding this to the 14L Mars Hydro reservoir will ensure even fresh, circulated-for-a-miniute-every-hour, batch of water (and later nutes) to the auto-drip system, maintaining optimal feeding for my plants when I am away, next week.
Biobizz & BioTabs Supplements - These organic nutrient and microbial products will provide a comprehensive and balanced feeding regimen for my plants.
Auto-Drain Potted Plant Stands - The wheeled, auto-draining stands will simplify watering and prevent any spills or overflows.
Inkbird Humidity Controller - Pairing this with the Spider Farmer humidifier and dehumidifier will allow me to precisely maintain the ideal VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) levels.
LST Clips, Trellis Net & Shelves - These will help me maximize my grow space and optimize the plant canopy for optimal light exposure.
Pest Control Strips - An important preventative measure to stay ahead of any potential pest issues.
Smart Soil Sensors - The Zigbee-enabled sensors will provide vital data on soil moisture, temperature, and more, which I can monitor remotely.
Air Purifier/Ion Generator - Ensuring my grow environment has clean, high-quality air circulation.
With all of these elements in place, combined with my existing setup and the automated control via the iGrow app, I'm truly creating a "hands-off" grow operation. (theoretically, with a bro, coming to phiscally check too)....The ability to monitor and adjust key parameters remotely while I'm away in Italy.
Running on Sunrise/set mode(18/6) over the "seedling" scene, in iGrow app, keeping track of DLI and later on, the Adlites will come into play.
Temp at 23.5 and RH is at 60%.

Bon voila ! les larves de chrysopes sont arrivées, je les aime bien car après avoir mangé les thrips sous toutes leurs formes, les chrysopes adultes restent dans la tente, très utile en cas de nouvelle invasion de thrips...
en seulement 2 jours on voit que les feuilles des plantes ne s'abîment plus et redeviennent bien verte, c'est plutôt bon signe...
ma petite bouture acid dough entame donc son reveging, les fleurs qui restaient s'allongent et des nouvelles feuilles à 1 pale sont apparues, pour le moment elle fait un peu mutante mais je ne m'inquiète pas, affaire à suivre, en attendant arrosage à l'eau, et je prévois un TCO la semaine prochaine.

Week 20 of veg! Final few hours untill 12/12, I honestly have no idea what to expect in the next few weeks with this , the plants been topped numerous times, branches all set out nicely, slight bit of defoliation untill I can see where the main bud sites are.

Buds are fattening up nicely. Red hairs are starting to come in on some of the buds. Overall, looking very frosty and healthy. It's a little mind blowing that this grow - which seemed so slow to start has gone into overdrive.

Hi Greenies,
This week sees some happy ladies due to they healthy environment.
Due to the lack of humidity caused by heating I introduced the Vivosun H09 Humidifier and has really got that so important thrive into flowering.
I cant recommend this product Highley enough, not just as it been keep levels consistently it also needs no controller and is fully adjustable through the Vivosuns app. Although I will be purchasing the new Vivosun controller due out any time now in my country the E452+
Photos are todays as they end 1st week of flowing.
Ttfn Skully.

AMAZING WEEK! The environment is reading for flowering. Lighting, feeding, watering, air temp and CO2 are all stable and should give my plants a stress free life.
Humidity is still high, so I'll need to come up with a plan for dealing with that ASAP.
I've introduced CO2 into the grow with my brand new AirBomz unit. It uses a light sensor that releases CO2 when the lights turn on, and then uses a timer to release every 2hrs until the light switch off. I doubt I'll reach the 1200PPM stated by the manufacturer, mainly because I'm running an extraction, but I figure some is better than none. Cool controller also included.
After doing some reading I can see there's two things that I need to look out for:
A) Switching off the extraction so it doesn't suck away the precious CO2 before the plants have had a chance to absorb it
B) Making sure the room doesn't get too hot whilst the extraction is off, causing heat stress
My solution is:
A) Switch off extraction for 15mins at the AirBomz 2hr interval
B) Use the Temp Controller the switch off the circulation fan when temp exceeds 27C
C) Controller then switches on the active intake when temp exceeds 28C
D) Temp is held at 29C whilst the extraction is off
D) Extraction turns back on after 15 mins, temp drops below 27C
E) Temp controller switches off active intake...
F) ...And switches on the circulation fan
G) Repeats every 2hrs
NEXT WEEK:
Work out how much the girls are drinking! I'll know when I change the reservoir.

My girls are growing wonderfully. Pineapple and Cheese are getting bigger and bigger, and you can start to smell them. Bubblegum has taken its time, but it too is full of resin and will probably be the last of the harvest. I decided to start giving Overdrive to the Skunk to try to add consistency to the flowers, which are still very sparse, and it already seems to be working. This is my first run with Advanced Nutrients and I'm pleasantly surprised!

09/16: Fed 30/70 blend of Veg to Bloom to all the photos. Noticed PM on True OG. Didn't notice yet but my OBW (and some other autos) also had a bad PM infection. Light defoliation and trimming
09/21: More PM found. Again light defoliation and trimming. Aphids also found on some of the autos.

due to the amount of branches I was required to add a SCROG screen.
The Flores started to get fat and I get more excited every second!😍

The bottom buds were done and getting amber, I thought of partial harvesting but the math didn't match and leaving the main cola didn't make sense so I chopped her down. Will be back 3 weeks after she's dried with the smoke report

Overall, I am extremely happy with the genetics of the Auto Euforia and the general success of the grow. I always like to reflect on mistakes I have made, so let me lay them out here:
I overlit the plant during veg, contributing to it's bushy nature. It grew well but this would be a waste of electricity if I was growing more commercially.
During the last week of flower, my region of Ontario was hit with tons of rain and humidity. I took some steps to increase circulation of dehumidified air, but lowering 95rh to 65-70rh is still insufficient and I lost some control of the environment. The awful result was the start of mold in some select areas, particularly in the fattest buds and where leaves were cut away and petioles remained. This issue is not due to Dutch Passions great genetics, and is entirely due to a combination of an unseasonable environment and my own overconfidence.
This mold was never clearly apparent on the outside of the buds, but I found it will trichomes scouting under magnification. This forced me to speed up the harvest and drying process. It also means that I have had to carefully grade the buds into those safe for smoking and vaping, those mold free but needing a second examination (will be rosin pressed), and those close enough to spots of mold to be only for for edibles. Any moldy bud was of course cut away and will be disposed of.
Nevertheless, I have many ounces of fantastic buds, and will be making some nice pressed rosin based 510 cartridges. I will edit the harvest post with more information after the cure, and showing the various processing I will be doing.
Happy growing! 🌱
