    DAY 16
  • Thanks for checkin in everyone :smoking:

    We're at day 16 and so far plain sailing. I did make the mistake of leaving her on a shorter light schedule :face: which explains the slow growth - 19/5 now....but I'm gunna assume all the work was happening downstairs and now she's working on upstairs!!

    No nutes yet, just plain water - still water from the shops, as my tap water is incredibly high in calcium.

    Nutes to start at 1/4 strength at day 21.

    What do you guys think so far? She's a tiny girl atm and can't wait to see her grow up.
     
    DAY 35
  • And we're off!

    Cut the head of her yesterday. We're still easing her into full strength notes, currently at 1/2 str.

    Looking good :smoking: seeing lots of side growth pre-top so I except and hope for zero delay in growth!

    Will post an update later this week hopefully with some info about the Connie Cam :smoking:
     
    DAY 45
  • Choo-choo! This gal's just chugging away no matter what. I realised I had given her a little too much to drink (pot was veeery heavy) so it's been a week without water - waiting for her to tell me it's feedin time before giving her any more.

    All's good with Connie II so far, started showing sex the other day, and absolutely non stop growing since the top.
    Training started officially a couple days ago! Reckon maybe 60-80 days till done?

    And as promised, here's a shot of the Connie-Cam inside the tent!

    2020-11-02 18.26.13.jpg


    It's a custom box with two ESP32 microcontrollers inside - one is attached to a temp & humidity sensor (shown dangling off the purple wire) and the other is connected to a wide angle lens. Also has a voltage-adjustable output for the repurposed computer fan providing some much needed airflow within the tent.

    Here's an old in-progress shot of what's inside the magic black box

    The camera controller lets me check on my gals without having to leave my desk!

    Of course, the quality isn't amazing - due to a couple factors - it's a super cheap camera module, and there is a serious amount of light in that box. I plan to have a play in a few weeks perhaps to improve it, but for now it does the job :smoking:

    The other ESP32 is connected to my logger network - keeping an ever watchful eye on the temp + humidity in the tent. (ESP32U [green] is the one in the tent) Screenshot shows the last 24h, but temps + humidity is incredibly stable - 21-24C and 56-70% rH.

    Hope you enjoyed this slightly wordier update, keep em lit :smoking:
     
    DAY 59
  • Holy moly!!! I was thinking, hmmm...haven't shown the AFN folks Connie in a couple days, probably not much difference...well check her out just 14 days diff since last update!! :smoking:

    She's taking on a real nice purple in the flowers now (macro shots to come next week maybe) and still going strong. Isn't asking for much water to be honest but I'm trying to get a feel for what she wants.

    Haven't lost a single leaf from her yet which I take as a good sign. Def starting to stank a lil bit but not too much at the minute. I've flattened her out since the pic as well.

    Please let me know what you folks think of her progress!!
     
    DAY 74
  • Another day another joint! :smoking:

    Not sure if we're doing okay to be honest. Her fattening seems to have stopped in the last week or so and pistils are going brown!

    Must admit though, she's really kicking up a stink!!

    What do we think? Still going okay? How longs left??? I'm too impatient for this :smoking:
     
    DAY 76
  • Can someone give me some advice please?
    Namely, is she ready to stop being fed or what? She doesn't seem that big so it's probably not even 5 grams if I'm lucky :rofl:

    https://trichome.ai/ says she's "psychoactive" ? Still got a lotta green pistols.

    DAY 91
  • Hello folks, no pics today but do have a trichs update.

    Seen only a couple amber atm - but I have a hard requirement for absolutely nothing growing over new year - so she's getting the chop after 24h of dark on the 22nd, so she should be totally dry and done and away by 26th.

    Happy holidays folks, whatever you celebrate, keep em lit!
     
    DAY 95
  • What a day it has been!

    Some final shots of my beautiful (tiny) girl

    Spent an hour or so trimming before the smell got to my partner a little too much and had to out it on hold, but I've removed the main fan leaves and almost every leaf without any sugar on it.

    Here's some pics with all main fans gone

    No wonder she was so tiny looking at that root!!!
