But sheโ€™s showing me something else, and Iโ€™m not here to fight her โ€” just guide her. Now after stretch, Iโ€™m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Donโ€™t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Arenโ€™t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like Iโ€™ll finish with 14โ€“16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. Iโ€™m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf โ€” just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30โ†’ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50โ†’ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 โ†’ 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 โ†’ 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 โ†’40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 โ†’ 60ml, fpj 30โ†’60ml 19.07.25 FW3 Got some bleached tops, been out and about at job interviews and didn't notice a last minute stretch spurt ๐Ÿ˜ญ, should recover fine though plenty of time left ๐Ÿ˜ 22.07.25 FW3 TriPartMicro 30โ†’20ml , TriPartBloom 60โ†’80ml , GreenBuzzBloom 40โ†’50ml 24.07.25 FW3 Cal-Mag 60โ†’40ml 26.07.25 got thrips but handled them with extra airflow and defoliation. 29.07.25 FW4 GreenBuzzBloom 50โ†’20ml, Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch) 60โ†’120ml 31.07.25 FW4 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch) 120โ†’200ml 13.08.25 FW6 CalMag 40 โ†’30ml, GreenBuzzBloom 20โ†’0ml ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ ๐ŸŒฟ Day to day tasks & actions ๐ŸŒฟ ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ 09.08.25 FW5 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at 50%โ†’ 2l runoff 10.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at 25%โ†’ 2l runoff 11.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at โ†’ 2l runoff 12.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at โ†’ 2l runoff 13.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at โ†’ 2l runoff 14.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at โ†’ 2l runoff 15.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at โ†’ 2l runoff 16.08.25 FW6 โ€“ Fed 5l of #1 at โ†’ 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ’ง Nutrients in 30L #1 ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ TriPart Micro: 10 โ†’ 15 โ†’ 20 โ†’ 30 โ†’ 40 โ†’ 50 โ†’ 30 โ†’ 20 ml = 0.67 ml/L TriPart Grow: 0 ml = 0.00 ml/L TriPart Bloom: 0 โ†’ 20 โ†’ 60 โ†’ 80 ml = 2.67 ml/L GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 โ†’ 15 โ†’ 20 โ†’ 30 โ†’ 60 โ†’ 40 โ†’ 50 โ†’ 20 โ†’ 0 ml = 0.00 ml/L Cal-Mag: 60 โ†’ 40 โ†’ 30 ml = 1.00 ml/L Home-made FFJ/FPJ: 10 โ†’ 30 โ†’ 60 โ†’ 120 โ†’ 200 ml = 6.67 ml/L pH Down: Citric acid (BuxXtrade) โ€” adjust to ~pH 6.0 ๐Ÿ“ฆ TOTAL: 330 ml per 30 L ๐Ÿ”ฌ 11.00 ml/L ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ โš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธ โœ‚๏ธ Tools & equipment โœ‚๏ธ โš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธ โœ‚๏ธ 2ร— MarsHydro SP3000 โš™๏ธ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator โœ‚๏ธ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) โš™๏ธ Mini no-name dehumidifier โœ‚๏ธ Kebab skewers (LST โ€“ stainless) โš™๏ธ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) โœ‚๏ธ Scissors (HST) โš™๏ธ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) โœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธโœ‚๏ธโš™๏ธ --- ๐Ÿ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿฌ Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿฌ Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple ร— Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56โ€“63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450โ€“500g/mยฒ Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Ok, so first week of introducing the trip tonic line of feed into the medium and getting rid of the lotus crap, all of the newer growth is looking much better and some of the older growth is greening up but I don't expect a full fix for that. Gave some extra grow B in this week as it is higher in P and K and will act as a small PK boost for the stretch that is to come. Flipped my plants to flower as well so they are now on a 12/12 setting. Been using the medic grows mini sun 2's internal timer in the lights and they appear to be working just fine. They have pre-programmed setting of 12/16/18/20/22 "on" cycles, I thought it might have been hold the dial till the number you want came up but its not that fancy. As of now my photoperiod is from 1:30pm-1:30am but I might move this up to 12pm-12am so when I need to look at my plants I'm not waiting till the afternoon. Its really only an issue on the days I'm working. over all happy with the progress, This seedsman plant I have a feeling would be a good outdoor plant given how space out the nodes are, lots of airflow to prevent bud rot but given its flimsy branches would need a lot of support. Will see if the clones make it. It also has not be drinking as much as the other three, but it is almost a week younger then the rest but they all have filled their pots with roots weeks ago so who knows. Lights still running at 80% with V1 spectrum, will increase to 100% after stretch, don't need to growing into them and burning up. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

These ladies were heavy yielding - just wish the PK booster did not stunt them, I feel they could have even been larger, the buds are sweet and sticky, they smell amazing, they are hard and resinous - they have a beautiful mix of dark and light shades of green with bright orange hairs, very pretty, my friends are already in love with this weed, hits you like a Sativa and as the high lingers mellows like an Indica, I can't, wait to grow this again! The is an urban legend that occasionally a purple strain emerges, and when it does the outcome is legendary, just another reason to try this strain!

Hey guys! ๐Ÿ‘ Hope everyone is doing well! This week was interesting. I made a small flush because I wanted to know how much salt my plants had in the soil (considering I've fed my plants with a lot of nutrients the past few weeks) aaaaand the results were quite interesting! They obviously had tons of salts! Here are the results of the runoff water: Falco 5.94 pH 1139 ppm (2278 us/m) Max 5.85 pH 2352 ppm (4704 us/m) Roko 5.64 pH 2453 ppm (4906 us/m) Boomer 5.72 pH 1765 ppm (3530 us/m) Surprisingly enough the plants that had the "worst" runoff values were the plants who had the most foliage and their leaves were the greenest. The pH "loss" of all the plants was also within the expected margin so that's good! ๐Ÿ‘Œ The buds look beautiful and I also noticed some of the plant leaves are starting to turn purple ๐Ÿ˜ the smell is also getting stronger and it's quite citric, I love it! Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ™Œ

First I want to thank everyone who participated in last week's call for help especially GrowingGrannie and gottagrowsometime. I made some changes starting with the distance of the LED, I did a defoliation reduced the Bio-Grow kept the Top Max and the Bio-Bloom added Calmag, Pandora powder mycoterra. BAC Frooting Power and ashes. The downside I have is the humidity which stays at 70% even with the dehumidifier. 0,2 Bio-Grow 0,4 Top Max 0,4 Bio-Bloom 1,4 Calmag 1.5 gr Pandora Powder MYCOTERRA 3 gr de BAC Frooting Power 5 Tablespoons of ash See you next week

Hi growers! It's been 5 weeks since we entered the flowering stage, and our plants are in full bloom! The branches have become thick, the leaves remain green, and the buds are getting fuller by the day. We continue to feed our plants with Xpert Nutrients flowering fertilizer, and the results are simply amazing! Our girl clearly loves this fertilizer, and we couldn't be happier with its effectiveness. A big thank you to Xpert Nutrients for such an amazing fertilizer! We're continuing our exciting journey and looking forward to new successes and beautiful harvests!

It's time for a thrilling week 4 flower report on my magnificent Medusa F1 from Royal Queen Seeds. This girl is an absolute monster, and I'm not just talking about her size! She's bursting with buds that are starting to resemble baseballs scattered throughout the garden. It's like a home run derby in there! Now, let's talk about the power of mass defoliation. I carefully stripped away those excess leaves, creating space for the buds to shine. It's like giving them a VIP pass to the spotlight. By removing unnecessary foliage, we channel the plant's energy towards bud production. It's like a backstage makeover, where the stars of the show get all the attention. The result? Bigger, denser, and more potent buds that'll knock your socks off! I mean my Medusa's buds are growing so big that they're starting to look like baseballs. But hey, let's be grateful they're not golf balls, or else we'd have quite the game to play in the garden! I want to give a special shout out to Royal Queen Seeds for providing me with this incredible opportunity to grow the Medusa F1. Their genetics are truly exceptional, giving us the chance to cultivate plants that are nothing short of spectacular. Thank you, Royal Queen Seeds, for being the game-changers in the cannabis world! Stay tuned for more updates on the awe-inspiring journey with my Medusa F1. Until then, keep growing, keep smiling, and enjoy the amazing genetics that Royal Queen Seeds has to offer. Wishing you all bountiful harvests and an abundance of green goodness! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS MEDUSA F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO โ€จFood - APTUS HOLLAND โ€จ โ€จAll info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://www.royalqueenseeds.com โ€จโ€จhttps://aptus-holland.com/โ€จ โ€จhttps://autopot.co.uk/ โ€จโ€จhttps://lumatek-lighting.com/ With true love comes happiness <3<3<3 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so <3<3<3 <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 Medusa F1 Medusa is a true F1 hybrid created from pure, inbred cannabis lines. She boasts uniform grow traits, mouthwatering aromas and flavours, and plenty of potency. If you're looking to bring stable, elongated plants into your room, tent, or garden, look no further. Mouthwatering Aromas, High Potency, and Mid-Size Plants Though she won't turn you to stone like the mythical goddess after which she's named, Medusa F1 is bound to get you plenty stoned in her own special way. Combining genetics from inbred lines deriving from Sugar Magnolia, a thick and sweet indica, and American Beauty, a fast, fruity hybrid loved for its well-balanced, positive high, the result is an autoflowering F1 variety that produces fresh flavours, a unique cannabinoid profile, and large yields. A very aromatic cultivar with a vibrant concentration of terpenes bearing notes of fresh mint alongside an upfront peppery kick, backed up by hints of fresh fruit, berries, and tangy fuel. Her thick, frosty flowers consistently produce high levels of THC and CBG, as well as high concentrations of myrcene, ocimene, farnesene, and caryophyllene. As a result, Medusa F1 has strong effects that relax and stone the body from head to toe (brought on by particularly high concentrations of myrcene and farnesene) while motivating the mind with an uplifting, creative, and motivating kick (thanks to high concentrations of ocimene). Medusa F1 seeds produce elongated autoflowering plants with long, strong branches and well-spaced internodes. Plants regularly grow up to 80โ€“85cm tall and boast a fast flowering time of just 42โ€“45 days (72 days from germination to harvest). Thanks to her genetics, Medusa F1 produces plenty of thick flowers with big, swollen calyxes that make for very easy trimming. Medusa F1 is very stable, handling stress and unfavourable growing conditions with ease, though she is somewhat susceptible to Botrytis, so make sure to keep tabs on the humidity in your grow room/garden

So this experiment is going terribly! LOL This ulitmately taught me a few important things about this sytle of growing. 1.) My Frequency was way to high in the beginning. When i start over next, i will be going for 1 hr -> Spray for 1 min -> Wait 1hr (Repeat) 2.) Never reuse hydroton or CC. It ends up having left over material and nutes in it, which not matter how much you wash just make the soil a land mine of nutrients etc. 3.) Do no use rockwool cubes inside the medium, they hold onto water for too long leading to rot. 4.) Fill the buckets up right until about 2cm short of the nozzles that spay. Otherwise you lose too much water and nutrients to the misting, which spreads your nutes all over the enviroment. Ultimately, even though this is a living disaster, I have learnt valuable lessons, and who knows, some of them still might produce smokable flower!

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

The plants are growing steadily. Iโ€™ve already had to adjust the lamp height several times because the largest plants are starting to get dry leaf tips. I need to try to lower the humidity, as it gets very high when the tent is closed, and even though many of the side openings are open, the humidity is still extremely high.
