I took everything out of the tent and disinfected it again.
The pots have made the tent base into a ball 😅 The velcro tags fell off long ago. I decided to put some new ones on.
I have some wider velcro that I would've preferred to use, I have misplaced those. Anyway, these will have to do.
I also made some large pot markers to velcro to the pots, too. I figured it would be easier to recognise the plants in photos if I made some. I laminated them, then attached the velcro to the pots and pot markers. [I get bored] 😅 make everything as fun as possible 💚
I ended up finding some sticky back velcro rolls.
Of course, there's no way that it would stick to a slippery surface that gets wet from humidity.
So, I used my glue gun and added strips to each side of the tent liner and tent walls to hold ot in place.
The 8 gallon pots are very heavy after being watered, and the liner has suffered. Hopefully, this will work to keep it in place, at least for a while! 😅

I also had to clean my pots, as you can see in the photos (if you want, lol).
They had got very mouldy/mildewy/fungussy. 🤢 also the under side of the tent liner.
So it was very lucky that I decided to clean it at this point. Or else I could have serious issues.
I'll look into the ventilation as I'm not exhausting the tent because I leave the door open with very strong airflow.
I did spray the plants with Trace, and I used a lot of it. So, that probably ran down the walls into the base of the tent before it dried 🤔 that could have easily caused it.
I'll have to make sure I dry off the walls after I use it next time. I certainly don't want to keep cleaning everything.
The plants are delicate, and unfortunately, however I try, it appears I am not.
I'm always snapping branches off by just watering, let alone removing them from the tent to clean! 😅 you can imagine. Accidental defoliation? 😉
I also cleaned the light, but I have noticed on one light that there are brown spots, which won't come off without damaging the LED's.
I really don't want to have to buy a new light. The par isn't great for full flowering. I just can't justify buying a new one right now, as I've already bought 2 in a year.
The light has been turned up to 100%, gradually, over the course of a few days. It has been fairly warm so I moved them further away too, as i don't want them to get heat stress, as I have already noticed a few leaves canoeing and having a taco on my dime! 🤨🤔😅
I'll continue to monitor and adjust again when possible/necessary.

Hulkberry has certainly started her stretch! I'm really low on space to train her out, and the light has been turned up to full power.
She has begun to drink more, and I gave some more dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with
♡ 1/4 tsp of Greenleaf nutrients Sea K(elp).
PPM: 800
PH:6.4
I am very pleased with the recent growth spurt, so let's hope I can accommodate her! 😅
9.5.25:
It's a necessity to keep the soil moist. That means I need to water more often now.
Today I watered with 1.5 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained:
♡ 1/5 tsp of Sea K(elp). By Greenleaf nutrients
♡ 1/4 tsp Ecothrive Biosys.
PPM: 564
PH: 6.4
12.5.25:
Hulkberry was very dry, surprisingly. Although I guess I've been giving her less.
She was fed with a high dose of Ecothrive Trace: 7ml/7l.
She was fed with 6 litres over the course of the day.
PH:6.4
PPM: 515
I had added this as a foliar spray last week, and it has apparently damaged some leaves. Left some dry orange patches in the leaves.
So, having that happen makes me want to just water with it.
Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱
