Hey Friends

Day 9 inside the tent and all these younglings are looking really nice and on schedule

Nice green color, which indicates they are happy little campers.

I did have a feel at some leaves and some do feel leathery, so it's water only for the time being. I'm cutting back on the Bactrex until these girls are getting more hungry. The same for the Orgatrex as this is a powershake for the bennies...

I'm glad with the selection I made. All these girls are same sized and growing at the same speed dishing out new fan leaves.

The only difference there is at the moment is that the four inner pots dry out quicker then the twelve on the outside. This is probably caused by the fact that my heatbed is still switching on at night as temperatures fall during the night. I like to keep everything at around 23°C / 73.4°F for the moment and the combination of the heat emitted from the TS-1000 and the heatbed switching on to keep it there is just perfect. The only addon I'm planning on in the near future is a soil probe for the temperature. That way I can choose where to measure for the heatbed

Hey Mate, This one is reaching out for a hug mate Thanks for not giving up on me

I'm upping the light with another 2% today...So slowly the DLI will rise, but this weekend I'm installing a smart switch so I can turn it off completely. And then I'm going to do something special!! You wait and see

And to finish off this post, I've prepared a three day time lapse. The speed is 25fps...Please enjoy







Regards,

Bob

Hey guys

Yesterday I told ya'll that I would be installing a smart switch so I can turn the lights off and give the ladies some rest and which would later help in more production of trichomes & terpenes. But I still like the fact that one can give an auto 24 hours of light, so I started thinking, and why not add hours to the day so the plants still receive light 24 hours a day...
So after installing the smart switch, which is also measures the current draw. If I add 4 hours to a day, it works out so six longer days fit into seven normal days.

Let me show the schedule...

• Saturday 12:00 on
• Sunday 12:00 off
• Sunday 16:00 on
• Monday 16:00 off
• Monday 20:00 on
• Tuesday 20:00 off
• Wednesday 00:00 on
• Thursday 00:00 off
• Thursday 04:00 on
• Friday 04:00 off
• Friday 08:00 on
• Saturday 08:00 off

Interesting. So basically, 24/4.

Will be keen to see how your girls get on!

I really like this idea. I'll be keeping an eye on progress. Well done trying new things.

Thanks, you guys!! We're ten minutes into the first dark period. My time lapse camera, at least, doesn't see any light

And neither does my light sensor.

In less then four hours the light will come back on. After that I'll be installing a firmware update to the current sensor array so the VPD value will be shown in my phone app. If that works I'll be adding another feature to hold the VPD at a certain value. When the new humidifier arrives I'll be modding it so it will be smart enabled and can be controlled by the above mentioned feature.

Hey Friends

This weekend I changed over to a 28 hour day and so far everything is going on schedule. During lights out, the temperature drops down to 17°C / 62.6°F and the humidity was out of control today, staggering into the +90's% . But, I imagine this could be due to me watering the plants half an hour before lights out as this wasn't the case the previous lights out... Live and learn

Anyway, after the lights went back on, I played around with the settings in my app and got everything stable. Did have to raise the light output from 44% to 50% and turn the extraction fan on at 20%. But now the VPD is at a perfect value for the size and age of the ladies...

Before showing of more of them little beauties, I'll just go right ahead and ask a question. Should I be removing these little side shoots, so growth is focused on the central stem?

Have a look at these beautiful ladies

Have a close look at the base of this one. It's already splitting the bark open to prepare for expansion...

This is the biggest one of all. Although still being a stout little lady

Another beauty, drop dead in the center of them all. Nice green color... ♥

And next to that this little beauty

A nice overview of all the ladies side by side...

And to finish things off, today's time lapse begins where the previous one ends But differs in that you'll see the dark period. The white specs in those parts of the rendering have something to do with the post processing as I don't see these in the separate pictures...Trust me, it's dark
Anyway, duration = 80 hours, speed = 25fps. Please enjoy
