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.

I retied down the branches on FastBuds Mystery seed #1.
I had to clean the tent, so the opportunity had to be taken, I hope not to have to move them again. I ended up snapping a small branch off another plant 😖
She is looking big out of the tent, and bigger than I thought! Now, having readjustmed, the fabric ties, and she is looking even larger still. This really is a sizeable plant! 😱
I really am struggling to get them all in, I think the 8 gallon pots were a definite factor in that. They certainly are great for getting big plants, but be prepared if you have a small space.
Really focusing on her bud development in these mid flowering weeks.
I watered some bloom nutes after I top dressed, with Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients. I watered 3.2 litres
PPM:745
PH:6.0.
This time, I'm going to keep the top dressing moist. So as not to kill all the beneficial microbes. Other than that, I will wait until the pots are light again.
Overall she is doing great, I wish she had stretched a little more evenly, to catch up in height. I just can't even out the canopy anymore.
I'll leave it and hope she'll sort herself out 😅
I'm very excited to see what happens next! This is going to be crazy whatever happens! 😍😋

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
Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 💚 ✌️ 🍃 😊 🌱
