Once again, this week starts where the former one ended. With the exception of all the cables you can see in the first picture. I dared to install a minimalized version of the Raspi control only controlling the self-built humidifier and one blower/fan combination. I was very pleased to see how easily the simple diffusor can hold optimum VPD as long as temperatures are high and humidity tends to fall below optimum VPD. A single 10 seconds evaporation can hold the level for about 2–3 minutes. I am not pleased to see the Monsanto blowers rather underperform. It’s impossible to reduce humidity or temperature with both running on full speed, while a lifting of the tent door will bring immediate changes. With the Raspi/Arduino success so far*, I am thinking about using old Power Mac fans which are WCM controllable and use 12 V. At least one to increase air intake, and maybe even the blowers. * It wasn’t any problem at all to have the Arduino collect CO2 and soil moisture data, so after some more cable manufacturing (aka helpless soldering), I could extend the Raspi control. I’m still uncertain about the camera module (@trelorny impressed me with his time lapse videos). I don’t want to put the hardware into the tent with its not so electronics friendly climate, already risking some rare outages of the temp/hum sensor. But the camera module cannot be placed far away. So maybe I’ll use the 3A model I own as a spare part as a camera driver. Any maybe, if it works, invest in a better camera module. Mine is generation 1. Oh, and the ladies! Gave them slightly fertilised water yesterday, and even it or the better VPD yesterday or a combination of both make me believe bud growth is a bit more visible today. The smell in the morning when I open the tent to release accumulated humidity is outstanding. They were already thirsty on day 57 again, so pure RO + a bit of tap water until it spilled out of their pot’s bottoms. Many fan leaves turning autumnally now, and the smallest Sherbet suffered a bit from over-fertilisation as I wrote. But it this stage I don’t go for leaf beauty anymore. Just another learning: Don’t use differently sized pots anymore. Hard to feed them individually this way. VPD was mostly in best range yesterday, and I have the feeling it really supports their bud growth. I added an "Evening time" option to my Raspi control that allows the humidity to sink a selected time before lights shut down. That made it possible to have humidity in best range for most of the night time too. They were even dry again on day 58 morning. Another time just water. The blowers cannot cope with the flowers’ smell anymore, and so sometimes my flat cannot hide who shares it with me. Day 60 presents me with a problem: I’ll leave on Friday for a few days. Considering the microscope pictures are not from the tops buds: Would you say it’s safe to give them another week? Problem solved on day 61. Only clean water from now on, and next week will be their last. You won’t see any new pictures for some days now. Me too … Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I just finished to update my grow box control with a new PWM fan hat that keeps the Raspi cool, while at the same an infrared sensor can now measure real leaf and additional ambient temperature. Setup is much cleaner and more robust now, but I wish my flux would not make the solder stick to the tip of the machine instead of making it flow and stick at the tiny tiny spots I have to hit …

Weirdo is at it again. Seems to me like she is in her final phase. Most of the leaves dying back buds starting to fall over but still a little immature🤷‍♂️ the other girl has a few weeks it seems but weirdo could be within the week. Ambers are starting to appear on the lower flowers. I am a little underwhelmed with her progress this week. I took a lower sample to evaluate things a little better. Plant two is moving along. Both plants cut their water demand down🤷‍♂️ After inspecting the sample, i notice alot of amber, mostly cloudy, with a few still clear, trichomes. I dont think she is ready as the buds are still developping new bracts. Hold out for a day or two, and go from there

This is actually week 3 for 7 of these ladies. I started with 7 Sour Bubbly and then waited for the Northern Cheese Haze and Hubbabubbasmelloscope to come in to pop in the dirt. So in order to keep this journal for both of those start dates I'll just meet in the middle at week 2 haha.

🌱 Divine Seeds Week Three Veg Report 🌱 Hey, fellow growers! 🌿✨ Welcome back to our weekly update on the Divine Seeds journey. We’re now into Week Three of the vegetative stage, and our plants are loving their new environment. The Moon Rock, Opium, and Big Demon are thriving after the transplant, and we’re excited to share the latest developments. 🌟 Week Three Highlights 🌟 This week, we plugged in the Autopots and turned them on, letting gravity do its magic. From now on, we’ll rely on the Regulator and CaMg-Boost in the reservoir. Our soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, so we’re testing if just the organic inputs in the soil, plus CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the entire run. Let’s dive into the details: 1. Moon Rock 🚀 • Growth: Vigorous vertical and lateral growth, with lush, broad leaves. • Health: The transplant has boosted its vigor, and the plant looks healthier than ever. • Notes: Moon Rock is showing exceptional adaptability and strength. 2. Opium 🌸 • Growth: Steady and balanced growth with symmetrical leaf development. • Health: Opium is thriving, with no signs of stress or deficiencies. • Notes: This plant continues to flourish with grace and beauty. 3. Big Demon 💪 • Growth: Robust and vigorous, with thick stems and expansive leaf growth. • Health: The transplant has enhanced its already impressive growth. • Notes: Big Demon remains a powerhouse in our garden. 🌟 Nutrient Strategy 🌟 Our feeding regimen this week focuses on: • Regulator (0.15ml/L): Helps reduce stress and improves overall plant health by regulating plant processes and enhancing nutrient uptake. • CaMg-Boost (0.25ml/L): Provides essential calcium and magnesium, preventing deficiencies and supporting strong cell wall development and photosynthesis. Our rich organic soil is packed with biolife and nutrients, so this experiment will test if these organic inputs, combined with CaMg and Regulator, can sustain the plants through their entire growth cycle. 🌟 LED Lighting and Control System 🌟 To support our plants’ growth, we’re using the Lumatek Zeus 465 Compact Pro LED. Here’s why it’s amazing: • Efficiency: Provides high light output with low energy consumption, ensuring optimal growth while being energy-efficient. • Full Spectrum: Delivers a balanced spectrum of light, mimicking natural sunlight to support all stages of plant growth. • Coverage: The compact design ensures even light distribution across the entire canopy, promoting uniform growth. We’re also using the TrolMaster Hydro X controller with its impressive 3-in-1 sensor for temperature, humidity, and light detection. This controller allows us to: • Monitor and Control: Keep precise control over the grow environment, ensuring optimal conditions for our plants. • Automation: Automate various aspects of the grow room, reducing manual work and improving efficiency. • Data Insights: Gain valuable insights into environmental conditions, helping us make informed decisions. 🌟 Key Observations 🌟 • Plant Response: The plants have responded exceptionally well to the transplant and nutrient strategy. • Growth Rate: Significant increase in growth rate, thanks to the balanced environment and nutrient-rich soil. • Health and Vigor: The plants are healthy, with vibrant foliage and strong structures. 🌱 Next Steps 🌱 As we move into Week Four, our focus will be on: • Monitoring the Autopots: Ensuring the system runs smoothly and the plants receive consistent moisture. • Observing Plant Responses: Keeping a close eye on how the plants respond to the nutrient strategy. • Maintaining Optimal Conditions: Using the Lumatek LED and TrolMaster controller to maintain perfect growing conditions. Stay tuned for more updates as our Divine Seeds continue to flourish. We’re excited to see the results of this nutrient strategy and share every milestone with you on this incredible journey! Happy growing, and may your gardens be ever green! 🌿💚 #DivineSeeds #WeekThreeVegReport #AptusHolland #MoonRock #Opium #BigDemon #GrowDiaries #PlantMagic #GreenThumb #Inspiration #LumatekZeus #TrolMasterHydroX Germination method 🌱 @thecannakan Genetics @divine.seeds Nutrition @aptusholland 🌿 @aptus_world 🌎 @aptus_es 🌍 @aptusbrasil 🌱 @aptus_thailand 🌿 @aptus_portugal 🌳 @aptususa_officiala 🍀 @aptusplanttechnz 🌺 @aptusplanttechaus 🍃 Ambient controls🎮 @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro Soil @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis LED - @lumatekeu Watering- @autopot_usa @autopot_global Love and attention- @dogdoctorofficial #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trolmaster #trolmastereurope #trolmastersecrets #Autopots #GreenJoy As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 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 💚 More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found ⬆️link in the profile description ⬆️ Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only 💚Growers Love To you All 💚

Doing great, flushed her today with 5 gal of ph'd water and started a new feeding schedule as seen above I will alternate watering and feeding. One week water one week feed. I'll keep this gradually increasing the strength of nutes. As far as everything as a whole couldn't be better. Looking forward to her bounty.

Watered today everything is looking good! All strains developing distinct scents now. Fat Banana has a Sprite like candy smell. The Blueberry Swirl has more of a lemon zest smell, was hoping for blueberry scent but hopefully it will come later. Tropical Cooler has the smell of a rotten fruit salad. Lemon Haze x Garypayton has more of a berry scent. Defoliated Blueberry Swirl, their were too many popcorn bud sites so I cut the branches off.

Was a smooth week. Did a flush and fresh nutrients. Kept the nutrient dose the same since everyone looks happy. Started training and trimmed a few leaves and branches off. I plan to switch them to flower after week 5. She is one of the slower growing plants. Heavy indica with short fat leaves. Still pumping nutrients 24 hours.

Black Cream Starting To flower. Beautifull plant.. It as came to the first scrog level. Started Training. Dont know if it let her got or make another scrog level. Please share your ideias. Scrog Its new for me but in small budget space i get it. ... this its the way to go. Bomberry its a slowstarter maybe gave her a little more water in seedling fase. The pots are big and it was dificult to control seedling moist at begening.... Killed 3 seedlings. Wedding Cake looking good Purple Couscous Tink its going to be another beast. Share Idias. Sensores with possibel integration. i will make it work. Hope You Like This Diferent Aprotche To The Culture

This strain is absolutely amazing, it's very different from any haze or even blueberry, the smell it's exactly like a fruit cocktail smells, very very fruity and sweet, I'm crazy to see how this nuggets taste after being well dried and cured boys and girls! Please stay tuned for more of my fruit cocktail AKA HAZE BERRY! ❤️💚💛👨‍🌾🔝

hi guys, although the plant was born at the end of summer it is growing well and fast, the vegetative growth lasted about 4 weeks
