Days 50 - 56 Last week, I had a major lockout issue with my plants, so I’ve started monitoring both the irrigation and runoff water closely. I had to do three rounds of flushing, but after that, my lady started to recover, which was a relief! Since I'm going on vacation for the next 10 days, I’ve been working on setting up an autonomous irrigation system, which I successfully implemented and built yesterday. It uses three 12V water pumps controller by Arduino Uno via H-Bridge motor drivers, each dedicated to one plant. The system runs from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., delivering around 250 mL of water per plant per session. This means each plant will get approximately 2.5 liters of water per day. I’ve mixed all the nutrients in advance. I know the ideal scenario would be to add the fertilizers just before each irrigation session, but unfortunately, that’s not possible. Still, it’s better than nothing. The system has been running smoothly since this morning, and so far, the cycle works fine. I’ll improve it further when I get back from vacation. To prevent any future lockout issues, I’ve extended the irrigation cycles throughout the day to ensure the coco stays consistently moist.

Yeah it’s not anything like I had planned, but like I said last week, there is always next year. I’m just giving her molasses here and there. I don’t know the pH or ppm of the feed water. It’s just molasses and my 8 pH well water. Then back to just plain water if I’m not feeding. There are obviously a lot of soil amendments that I’m leaning on. I suppose the picture of her trunk isn’t that impressive because it lacks a reference of scale. But those are some big roots on the top there.

Finally moved these two up into 7 gallon fabric pots. I didn’t want to let them go any longer in those little pots! Especially with the kind of year I’ve been having. Anyways, on that note, here is a video of those 3 photoperiods; one of each, an A-Train, an Alien Rock Candy, and Ackbar OG.

ITA: finalmente ho comprato il deumidificatore che mi serviva. L'ho attaccato alla spina il giorno36 e spero che svolga il suo lavoro. Le piante stanno bene senza sintomi di eccessi o carenze di fertilizzazione. edit: il deumidificatore sta svolgendo il suo lavoro: ha abbassato l'umidità che è passata da 80-90% a 50% circa. ENG: I finally bought the dehumidifier I needed. I plugged it in on day 36 and hope it will do its job. Plants do well with no symptoms of excess or deficiency in fertilization edit: the dehumidifier is doing its job: it has lowered the humidity which has gone from 80-90% to about 50%.

Been a good week, haven’t done too much apart from try and dial in the lights and watering. I think I have the lights perfect as the leaves are flat instead of dropping down, but then again not sure so any comments are welcome 🙏 thanks guys I’ll see you next week… or next time I have a question 😃

Hey Growmies, So week one and my Blackberries has twisted growth for some reason, i may move the light further away and see if that helps. Apart from that shes grown nicely from her initial popping and just pushing out her 2nd set of leaves. Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️
