I didn’t expect this strain to show this much color looks amazing almost done.

Short video, she’s almost done.

Mistakes were made

Plants are growing fine. I'm more focusing on soil prep at this point in the season. Cheers!

Auto moon rock Is growing slow. She is making progress just not fast. She was neen oil treated a week ago. There is a mite issue in the grow room. She should pick up her growth pace very soon.

Auto Opium has had a rough first week. The neem oil treatment was pretty tough on the seedling. She has started growing since sprayed. There is a mite issue and once I get the flowering plant out if the room I can treat them all. Eliminating anywhere for the pest to hid. So until then just making due the best we can for about a week.

La planta de tierra, hasta ahora muestra signos positivos apesar de que se partió una rama. He notado como comenzaron a aparecer unos gusanitos que van comiendo las hojas, los trips siguen en las plantas pero en menor medida. Las otras plantas de las macetas tienen muchas hojas amarillas. Esta semana solo regue con trico+ de namaste nutrientes y agua. Espero el final con ansias.

Hello Growmies, As the curtain falls on our Epic Buzz journey, we are now stepping into the crucial drying phase. Based on the density and size of these magnificent buds, I anticipate this process will take another 4 days to ensure the perfect moisture content for a prime cure. The end of one project always heralds the beginning of another. Once the drying is complete, and our Epic Buzz is jarred up for curing, the tent won't have time to gather any dust. My next venture for the Super Sativa Seed Club Video Contest is raring to go! The Auto Bruce Lemon Diesel has already sprouted, eager to bask in the tent's vacated space. Their symphony of growth is about to unfold. You can follow this next exciting chapter at the link below, and join me as I navigate through the life cycle of this promising strain: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/199311-super-sativa-seed-club-auto-bruce-lemon-diesel-grow-journal-by-salokin Stay tuned for updates and insights. Until then, stay lifted and keep those green thumbs busy! Salokin

The last week before cutting, I still fertilized for the last week, I focused on the expressway sugar and the loading of carbohydrates well. Still No-till Living soil Microorganisms 💚

Sembra ok,ma sarà un problema il risciacquo...quella di destra ha già un tricomi lattiginosi,su alcune zuccherine sono ambrati...le altre ancora hanno i pistilli bianchi, nemmeno li guardo i tricomi... sembra abbiano 15/20 giorni di differenza!

March 22, 2024 Day 36 This week we are dialing in the light height and power level, as well as nutrient regimen. Training is the top priority during this last week or so of the veg stage. Everything else goes hand in hand. Banana Purple Punch A is suffering from nitrogen toxicity, so the nutrients need to be dropped from 12 ml to 10 ml after I dilute the current regimen with 8 ml cal/mag water. I have to wait another day or so before diluting the basins as they are nearly full still. She also had some of the top side branches pulled down. The top is pointing down and has been for the last day while the side branches are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. They are growing into an even level canopy with the top being just below them. This is exactly what the plant should be doing. Very happy with this outcome. The top on Banana Purple Punch B finally stayed down for the most part. It's reaching back up again, so I trained it back down. If the side branches don't start to reach, I'll have to top her. I'll give her a couple more days to see what happens. What's weird is that she isn't suffering from nitrogen toxicity while having the exact same nutrient regimen as her sister plant. She also seems to be drinking a bit slower than Banana Purple Punch A. I think it has to do with the different phenome. The soil seems to be just as wet, but the bottom of the container isn't as wet as the other plant. The reservoir is also nearly full where the other is about 3/4 full. Not much difference, but enough to notice. The side branches are all level with each other with the top being about an inch taller. Don't get me wrong, she is beautiful and most likely will have the best structure of the 2 plants. I'll also be taking off the massive fan leaves on the stem in the next day or so. Even maybe this afternoon. I'm just concerned about the nitrogen toxicity. Is it enough to cause too much stress, or is it fine while I work on diluting the excess nitrogen out? I might just do it anyway and see what happens. As I've said before, I plan to do everything the exact same, but I'm starting to think these two need to be treated slightly differently. Like the possibility of having to top Banana Purple Punch B, or the nutrient intake difference between the two. The light power is now at 90% with the height staying at 24". I need to measure the height of the plants, but I'm guessing they are about 10" with training underway. I don't really expect them to grow too much taller until the flowering stretch. Until then, I'll continue to train them down. It's still snowing and freezing out, and the tent is still suffering from it. The temp went all the way down to 66° last night and won't climb over 75° today. I have the heater set to 78° and it's keeping the room at 75°, but the tent is still under 75°. It makes no sense. The humidity is kind of high as well. It is stuck at 57% to 58%. It's not high necessarily, but it's higher than what I want. I might put in my dehumidifier to help with the temp mostly and the humidity should drop just a bit. I'll see how it goes for the day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 56.5% VPD: 1.16 kPa March 23, 2024 A bit to do today. I was going to water, but the reservoir for Banana Purple Punch B is still half full. However, the reservoir for Banana Purple Punch A is nearly empty. I definitely believe it has to do with the phenotype. Gonna have to focus on each plant separately from now on. I'll refill Banana Purple Punch A tomorrow when the reservoir is almost dry. Trimming finally happened today as well. I removed all the main stem leaves. That's it and there is tons of open space now to fill in. Banana Purple Punch A looks awesome now and had a couple adjustments done. A perfectly level canopy. Banana Purple Punch B looks great as well. She opened up quite nicely. However, she is still a tiny bit bushy. No reason in removing more yet. The light was adjusted today. The DLI is sitting perfect at 42 mol/m²/d. However the light is at 26" now. To be honest, I'm happy with the footprint. Excellent coverage wall to wall. The environment looks pretty good today. 75° and climbing up to 76° to 77° by the middle of the day. The humidity is also pretty good hanging out between 57% and 58%. The real concern is still the night temperature. Last night it was down to 64° because it's that cold out. Other than that, they grew about a half inch last night. Not much upward growth, but that's the goal. Lots of outward growth though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.15 kPa March 24, 2024 What a day. Both ladies were massively trained. The branches on Banana Purple Punch A were sticking too far out, soni rounded them back in around the rim of the container. Suffice it to say, the tent is completely full. The training opened up tons of light space. Auxiliary branches were tied down as well. Banana Purple Punch B didn't need as much training, but I did get the top to pull down again. The side branches are still pretty tight. They are definitely over the container rim, but not as much as her sister plant. So not a ton to do today. It will take off soon during the flowering stretch and then training will be needed. Speaking of full tents, I'll be adding the trellis in a week. I think I'm gonna need it. I also learned how to super crop, so I can use that technique if need be. However, I'm not much of a fan with the trellis. My last harvest had the trellis stuck inside the plant until after drying and I could cut the plant up. Anyway, we shall see what happens. Both reservoirs got a half gallon of 8 ml Cal/Mag. That should reset the nutrient intake so I can start the 10 ml dose next watering. Differences between the two plants are pretty obvious. From the plant structure to even the roots. Banana Purple Punch B has no roots showing while her sister plant is showing roots now. Both plants are super strong and will do quite well. I wonder if the buds will be structured differently as well. I didn't need to move the light today after I trained the plants down. It's still at 42 mol/m²/d. Based on their current growth and the health of these plants, I'm expecting them to grow up to 3 ft. At least that is the hope. I'll take 4 ft, but no taller. That's all the tent can handle. I don't expect these to be short based on their growth and hardiness. So at minimum, we can see a couple 2 ft plants. It's 20° f out today. The tent temp is hanging out at 75°. The humidity is a bit high today. Hanging out around 58%. It should drop a bit later on and the temp should increase by mid day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 57.3% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 25, 2024 So I know it's the middle of the week, but I forgot to rotate the plants around until today. So I rotated them out. Now Banana Purple Punch A is in the rear quadrant with Banana Purple Punch B back in front. They are still very different. While Banana Purple Punch A is stretching with an open canopy, Banana Purple Punch B is still tight even with the stretch starting. The canopy is already getting dense from the previous light defoliation. I'll definitely have to take more leaves off in the coming weeks. In fact, both of them have massive leaves that will surely be a nuisance in the near future. Both plants are in the flowering stretch now. I thought it was pre-flower last week and I was right. Now they are both flowering and I'll be starting the flowering nutrients next week as scheduled. I didn't move the light again today. The side branches haven't caught up to the very tops yet. The canopy is still level, just need the auxiliary branches and side branches to start stretching. The DLI increased to 43 mol/m²/d, but flowering means a higher DLI. So I'll be increasing that to 45 mol/m²/d at the start of next week. It's only like 3 days, so it should be perfect for the stage the plants are in. I'm still keeping a minimum of 22" to the canopy, but will hold over 24" for as long as I can. As I said yesterday, I believe I can expect 3 ft from these ladies. They have been stretching, but the top branches are also stretching, so they have to be tied down as they get long enough. Speaking of branches, I accidentally half snapped one of the top branches on Banana Purple Punch B. No worries though, I'm not concerned with this. Every snap or partial snap I've had always ends in a better plant. Not to mention it's a side branch and not the top, so we're good. As for watering, both plants are very different. Where Banana Purple Punch A is taking in about a gallon every couple days, Banana Purple Punch B is taking half of that. There still aren't too many roots coming out yet, so that could be the cause of the slow down. As the system works, it only provides water as needed by the soil and plant. So currently , there isn't a reason to flood the soil. According to the plant anyway. The soil is perfectly moist and the plant is perfectly happy. The good part is, when the roots do hit bottom, the plant will really take off. So I can only assume my watering technique worked as I planned. Back to Banana Purple Punch A. Her water intake is fairly impressive, especially at this age. She's still young and has a lot more growing to do. This may be a gallon a day plant in the upcoming weeks. The environment is still a bit off. Temps are still low and the humidity is still high. However, the VPD is in range. It will need to increase by next week, but that shouldn't be a problem with this cold front almost over with and spring fast arriving. Currently the temp is hovering at 73° and the humidity is around 59%. Definitely not ideal, but not much I can do at the moment. I may add my small dehumidifier to the tent to see if that helps. The high humidity is definitely not from an external source. The humidity in my room is down to 22%. So it's not that issue. It's the plants. A great sign. The whole tent is filled wall to wall. So there's a lot of release from the plants. Very good. I still need the temp to climb though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.4° RH: 57.2% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 26, 2024 Both ladies needed watering today with Banana Purple Punch A bring dried out and B having a bit of water on the bottom. Definitely drinking much slower than her sister plant. Again, I believe it's the phenotype, so I'm not worried. If it continues, then I may have some concerns, but when the roots start popping out in earnest, the plant will take off and need lots of water. I also made a couple minor adjustments to the canopies of both plants. Nothing really Earth shattering, but at least a note of the day. Oh and I attempted to tuck all the lowest leaves under the plant to make more outer rim space. It kinda worked. I might just cut them off. I removed a few more leaves from Banana Purple Punch B. She's getting super bushy and she definitely needed it. I'll be trimming away as she grows. Very little at a time, but more frequently than normal. Like every 2 days instead of every 4 to 5 days. She's definitely robust enough to handle that technique. I haven't ever actually done a full defoliation before, so I don't know what's better. I hear too much controversy over defoliation on autos, and this seems to work wonders. Hell, I'm pretty sure FastBuds says to trim throughout the grow to keep up with the density of the plant. I don't have anything for Banana Purple Punch A. She's fine and growing. Not the tallest plant in the tent, but also at the same height as 2 others, so I only have 1 plant that's a bit taller. Just the couple adjustments to the canopy. However, her buds are already pronounced and fat. I can definitely tell the buds are going to be super dense. Actually, both plants have the same size buds. They are brand new and big already. Granted, the stretch hasn't started yet, so they may be smaller buds loading up the top with multiple nodes. I dunno. They are big for a few days old. The lighting is still the same. I should also add that I did end up moving the light yesterday. Like an inch up to match 24". I may have to drop the light slightly to keep from going to 100% power. But we shall see. As I've said before, I'll go as low as 22", but that sacrifices the footprint a bit. The environment is driving me crazy. It's not cold out anymore, but I cannot for the life of me get the temp on my room over 70°. Looks like I need a new heater. To combat this issue, I finally added my dehumidifier. Hopefully it's strong enough to clear out some of the humidity and help increase the temp. The environment has been stuck at like 72° and 60% humidity and flowering has begun. I really want it down to 55% now. No idea why it's still so high with the humidity in my room is around 23%. It's super dry. I just checked the environment and the dehumidifier is working somewhat. The temp increased to 76°, which is fine. But the humidity is still kinda high at 57%. It's the VPD I'm really focusing on now. Currently it's hovering around 1.2 kPa. It's better, but I'd rather be closer to 1.28 kPa. We'll get there in the end. The dehumidifier just needs to acclimate the environment. I decided to drop the nutrients back down to 8 ml instead of 10 ml. 8 seems to be fine and I really don't want more nitrogen toxicity. Unfortunately, I ran out of Bud Candy and have to order more, so that will be added next watering. I'll be starting Tasty Terpenes next week. And I start Big Bud next watering as well, I think. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.6° RH: 57.9% VPD: 1.09 kPa March 27, 2024 Today was trimming day. I did a full defoliation on both plants. Banana Purple Punch B especially needed it. They both got about 15% of the leaves off. The massive ones that is. No small ones. So now there is plenty of space for the auxiliary and side branches to grow and spread out unimpeded by excess foliage. I know there is a lot of controversy in this, but they needed it. Banana Purple Punch A had a little less taken off. Mostly the outer leaves that were pressing in on the other plants in the tent. Some of the inside leaves were blocking precious bud sites. So those had to go. Maybe 4 of those. All in all, I'm quite happy with the outcome. I'll check on them in an hour or so to see how much stress they have undergone. I usually wait for the end or middle of the flowering stretch to start pulling leaves, but this time around I think I got the timing right. Banana Purple Punch B might be a bit ahead in flowering. At least, her buds are huge already. Banana Purple Punch A drinking more than the other plants in the tent. Significantly more. While the other plants are about a third of gallon in, this lady has already taking in about 3/4 gallon of the reservoir. I wonder why that is. The plants are all the same height, but by training only though. The shortest and most matched with canopy height is Banana Purple Punch B. I expect her to take off just like the rest of the plants in the tent. However, she is also the least thirsty. Again, it has to be the phenotype. I just hope this isn't a sign that she will end up short. I might submerge the bottom of the container in the reservoir to better activate the wick system. Theoretically, the container should have already been wet at the bottom before activating. That way the plants and wick system can match up and keep up with each other. I know they can cruise through about 3/4 gallons a day when activated properly. The submersion should help with it. I'll see how things go over the next day or 2. If the rest of the ants in the tent need water by then and she's still slow on the uptake, I'll submerge and reactivate. If not, then we are good to go. I didn't mess with the light again. No need yet anyway. Although, I will check the DLI and height when I check on the plants for stress. Let's hope they took the defoliation like champs. The environment is now back to normal. Somehow the main heat in the house was turned way down. I'm guessing a child. Smh. Anyway, now that it's fixed, the temp is around 80° and the humidity is around 54%. A bit warm, but I'll take it over 73°. The humidity is right where it needs to be. I'll take the dehumidifier out today to help drop the temp to a comfortable 77°. The humidity should also increase to around 56%. Exactly where I want to be right now. In a week, I'll try to keep it below 55%. I may try to drop the temp down to 75° in a couple weeks. Update: I messed with the light. Strangely enough, I had to drop the power down to 80% and ended up with the light being around 25". Now the DLI is at 42 mol/m²/d. I'll look at it again starting next week. I may have to bring the power up again, but I don't think I will for another week at least. Right now, the DLI is perfectly fine. It will help with the ants reaching and spreading those nodes out for the flowering stretch. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.5° RH: 55.3% VPD: 1.36 kPa March 28, 2024 No training today. I was considering pulling a couple branches down a bit, but everything is level and the plants are the same size. There are some major differences between these two, however. And some notable similarities. The main difference is the internodal spacing where Banana Purple Punch A has decently spaced internodes, while Banana Purple Punch B has extremely tight internodes. It's stretching now, so maybe the spacing will catch up. I'd also like to note that these two plants are seriously flowering now. The other major difference I have noticed is water uptake. Banana Purple Punch A is taking double what Banana Purple Punch B drinks. I had to refill the reservoir as it dried out of Banana Purple Punch A. I also cleaned out the reservoir. Tomorrow, I'll do the same thing for Banana Purple Punch B. I was originally going to wait until tomorrow for both, but I can't let the reservoir dry out completely. There should be significantly less water tomorrow. I'll also have B-52 from Advanced Nutrients. I have Sensizym coming as well. I'll be adding a half dose of B-52 starting tomorrow. I'll add it to Banana Purple Punch A next watering. I didn't move the light at all today. Both plants are happily basking in the light with some perfect praying going on. Nothing to move. The environment is finally back to normal. The temp is between 76° and 77° with the humidity at 55% to 57%. The VPD is where it's at though. Around 1.33 mol/m²/d give or take a few. Right where I want to be. So the plants are looking absolutely stunning. Both have the very same massive leaves of a beautiful green. No stress whatsoever from the defoliation and trained to near perfection. I may move a couple branches here and there as they stretch, but I'm happy with what I have right now. Just enough space in each quadrant for each plant to grow without overwhelming any other plants. As things are looking, I may not need the SCroG net for a bit. The branches are all the same height for now. I may be implementing it if I need to keep the canopy level. Other than that, I'll use it to make sure the branches don't tip over from the buds. I plan on buying some cross bars so I can mount the SCroG net to that. Much more useable training space. Anyway, we shall see how it pans out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.6° RH: 54.9% VPD: 1.25 kPa

March 22, 2024 Day 36 This week we focus mostly on training. It's the last week of veg, or it should be, and they will need all the trainings they can get. So far it's perfectly on point for both plants. They are reaching well past the sides of the containers. They have super strong main trunks with side branches almost as thick. They are sure to hold up some super heavy buds. I'll continue to pull branches down and out for a couple more weeks. I may have to put a SCroG net in as well. I'll probably set it to 18" for when the real stretch starts. Until then, it's adjusting and readjusting the tie downs. I'll also be snipping off the massive leaves from the trunks this week. Just those though. There's no need for any others to be cut off yet. They will most likely need another trimming in a couple of weeks. I increased the light power as expected this week. The height stayed the same at 24" with a DLI of 42 mol/m²/d. That should be fine for the majority of the rest of the grow. I may have to put it to 100% when flowering begins. Tropicana Cookies has a slight bit of nitrogen toxicity. So for this week I dropped the nutrients down to 10 ml instead of 12 ml. Of course after I run some plain water with cal/mag. I'll be doing a half gallon for each plant. Anyway, 12 ml is just too much and I'd rather Tropicana C not get any toxicity. The environment is a bit cool today due to weather. It should warm back up when it gets above freezing out. Currently, the temp is hovering just below 75° and the humidity is around 57%. Not ideal, but in range. It was also really cold last night and the tent temp dropped to 66°. I gotta turn my heater up more I guess. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 23, 2024 Both plants look fantastic now. I think the nitrogen toxicity on Tropicana Cookies is going away already. Honestly it shouldn't have been much of a toxicity in the first place, so I think we are fine now. Both ladies got the main stem fan leaves slipped today. I also removed the lowest node from Tropicana Cookies. They weren't promising in the first place. I may also remove them from Tropicana C. We will see. They will be needing water tomorrow I think. The moisture content of the soil is hanging around 53%. It's a bit high for this stage, so I'll let the plants catch up before refilling the reservoirs. Both plants also got some adjustments done. They haven't grown upward at all. But they have been spreading out really well. Perfectly level canopies and identical in almost every way. The only difference is my tie down placement. Slightly different, but the same basic structure. I also raised the light today to 26". The DLI was a bit high at 45 mol/m²/d where as it should be at 42. So the 26" lift brought it right where it needs to be. Not to mention the footprint is outstanding. So by the looks of things, I won't need to increase the power anymore. 24" at 90% power provides 45 mol/m²/d. Perfect for the flowering stage. Speaking of flowering, pre-flower is right around the corner. There's white hairs everywhere now. I'm just waiting for the bud sites to start forming and we are good to go. I'll continue training these ladies down through mid stretch or when I have them how I want them. A note: The side branches are pretty thick. I can assume the buds will also be big and thick and dense. I may need a trellis when they start to really stretch. That will come when I finish LST. The environment is looking pretty good today. It's hovering at 75° and climbing a bit. Hopefully it lands at 76° to 77°. The humidity is also really close, hanging out around 57%. Not a bad day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.15 kPa March 24, 2024 What a nice day for the ladies. Both were massively trained with the canopy completely level. Lots of side branches and auxiliary branches coming gup. Some were tied down finally and the plants are growing right out of the containers. Looking great! They got a half gallon of 8 ml Cal/Mag today. That should reset the nutrients and I can start the 10 ml regimen. Both plants are basically identical with the training done the same to the same branches. They are both showing a nice bit of root structure on the bottoms of the containers. They are also damned close to pre-flower if not already started. I didn't have to move the light today after the training was done. Still at a perfect 42 mol/m²/d. I definitely don't expect to put the light at 100% power. I'm also very happy so far with the health of these plants. They are finally nice and dark. I'm definitely expecting 2 to 3 ft tall plants. If I continue to get this health and growth, I may have some 4 ft plants to deal with. Not complaining. The environment is pretty good regardless of the 20° f weather outside. It's hovering around 75° and a bit high at 58% humidity. No matter, it will adjust on its own by mid day. Nothing to worry about. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 57.3% VPD: 1.14 kPa March 25, 2024 These two plants are seriously hard to tell apart in pictures. There are differences starting to show now that they are in pre-flower. Tropicana C is looking super nice with a perfectly level canopy. The stretch has started and she's showing it a lot more than Tropicana Cookies. The canopy on Tropicana Cookies is fairly uneven. There's auxiliary branches I pulled down and I'm waiting for them to readjust to my changes. I also had to pull down some of the top node branches. So the uneven canopy is mostly from me, trying to keep the plant within its own quadrant. Both plants have a lot of roots coming out of the bottom of the containers. A great sign that pre-flower has started. Even though one is uneven, both plants are at the final stages of the structure I created for each of them. Tropicana C has the most uniform tops so far and Tropicana Cookies is just as robust if not a bit more so. Hence the extra training. As said before, when the plants get to 18", I'll consider the trellis. I have a feeling I'll have to use it. I'm also going to have to defoliate again soon. Just the lower fan leaves close to the soil. And some of the larger top leaves that cover the bud sites. I've also got overlapping leaves that are causing condensation. Some of them I can move, and some I can't. I'll keep an eye and if need be, I'll take those off as well. I'll also increase the airflow to help. I have two oscillating fans in there so it shouldn't be an issue at all. I haven't moved the light yet because the plants haven't grown tall enough. The DLI is around 43 mol/m²/d. When flowering starts next week, I'll increase the DLI to 45 mol/m²/d. I may wait another week. We shall see how things look for the next few days. I may have to raise the light again to get that slight praying going on. I'll update if I decide to do that today. The environment is still a bit off. The temp is down to 73° and the humidity is still high around 59%. I'll most likely put my small dehumidifier in the tent to help with both heat and humidity. To be continued... I also rotated the plants around today. So now Tropicana Cookies is in the rear quadrant with Tropicana C back in front. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.4° RH: 57.3% VPD: 1.10 kPa March 26, 2024 A bit of to do today. Honestly the next few weeks will be a bit of a to do. Training, defoliation, training again. Today we tied down the 2 longest top branches and made a couple adjustments to Tropicana Cookies. She looks great, if not a bit messy. It's fine though, it will grow to a nice flat canopy in the weeks to come. Tropicana C is actually the bigger plant in the tent. About an inch taller than the rest, with a completely flat canopy. I want to tie the branches back down to level it with the rest of the canopy, but I have concerns with breaking and space. I should probably remove the lower leaves from the plant and start there. I think I'll do that tomorrow. I'll also have to remove some lower leaves from Tropicana Cookies as well. The wrap around the rim training looks pretty good. It's not much tighter, but enough to need to remove some leaves for air flow mostly. The lighting is really good, so I'm not worried about it yet. Plus, defoliating will also make light space. The one thing I won't be doing is making the mistake of not trimming appropriately. I will probably lollipop these two once they get the stretch going. I decided to change the nutrient regimen back down to 8 ml instead of the 10 ml I originally was going to do. I feel like that is fine and won't cause anymore toxicity. But will also be plenty to help these ladies grow bigger and stronger. I didn't change the lighting today, but I lifted it up yesterday an inch to match the 24" footprint. I may have to drop it down to 22" later on to a oid going to 100% power. I will go there if I have to, but I'd rather not. The environment was driving me crazy. So today, I finally added the dehumidifier to help fix the temp and humidity. The focus will be the VPD more than the humidity. Currently the dehumidifier has finally increased the temp up to 76° and the humidity is still kinda high at 57%, but it's dropping down. Now it's just a matter of letting the environment acclimate again. Quick Update: I decided to train Tropicana C down with the same wrap around technique I used for Tropicana Cookies. It should work quite well. Not to mention, it opened up a plethora of bud sites and auxiliary branches. It also brought the canopy down with the rest of the tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.6° RH: 57.9% VPD: 1.09 kPa March 27, 2024 It was defoliation day today. Both ants got about 15% of their leaves cut off. It was mostly the outside leaves to make room and better airflow between plants. I removed a few leaves in the center of the plants. Not many. But now both plants are opened up quite nicely and there's definitely enough airflow and light penetration. I don't think I will need to defoliate again for a few weeks. If they start to stretch like mad, then I may not need to defoliate at all. We shall see. Both plants are drinking the exact same amount of water. So far it's about 1/3 gallon of water per day. It will certainly pick up as the plants get bigger and more robust. The environment is looking good. The trim also removed some of the excess humidity which also helped the temp stay up. I did figure out why the tent was so cold for so long. Someone turned the temp in the house down. So it wasn't warming up in my room. My heater is just a supplement for when it's super cold and I need that extra boost. Alone it won't bring the room over 72°. So now I just need to remove the dehumidifier and the temp will level out around 77° with the humidity at 56%. Currently the tent is 80° and 54% a bit high in the temp. It will all level out in no time. I didn't move the light today. I'll check on it when I check the ants for post defoliation stress. Let's hope they are tough enough to take the defoliation like champs. We shall see. Update: I messed with the light. Strangely enough, I had to drop the power down to 80% and ended up with the light being around 25". Now the DLI is at 42 mol/m²/d. I'll look at it again starting next week. I may have to bring the power up again, but I don't think I will for another week at least. Right now, the DLI is perfectly fine. It will help with the ants reaching and spreading those nodes out for the flowering stretch. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.5° RH: 55.3° VPD: 1.36 kPa March 28, 2024 Today was basically observation. I'll be cleaning out the reservoirs tomorrow and refill with a fresh nutrient regimen. I have some B-52 from Advanced Nutrients coming in today, so that will be added. I also have Sensizym from Advanced Nutrients coming in a couple days. That will be added at the next watering. Both plants are starting to stretch now and pre-flower is well underway. The stretch has started and both plants have perfectly level canopies and level with each other. The auxiliary branches took off and are level with the rest of the main side branches. Everything looks great. There really isn't any difference between the two, so I'm super happy. Great genetics! Let's hope I get some beautiful colors out of them. I didn't bother changing the light at all. The plants are praying slightly and are extremely happy. No sense in increasing the light intensity while the stretch is going on. I'll just let them grow into the light and raise it when it gets closer than 22". Then I'll lift it up to 24" and adjust the power accordingly. The environment is spot on now... Finally. The temp is just at 77° with the humidity bouncing between 55% and 57%. All good things. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.6° RH: 54.9% VPD: 1.25 kPa
