En esta semana mantendré todavía los Led por 24 horas al día, el EC lo tendré a 2,5, el PH tratare de mejorarlo, todavía lo tengo a 6,3 mas o menos. Las plantitas están creciendo bien, ya se ven las puntas de las raíces saliendo del substrato y tocando el agua. Para el fin de semana próximo cambiaré la solucion nutritiva y bajaré el nivel del agua. Decidí también poner un generador de CO2 casero(bidón con agua, levadura, azúcar y pulpa de tomates) consejo de mis amigos de zamnesia. En la semana nos iremos actualizando.

First flowering post - they arnt fully flowering yet tho I musta emit. I dunno why they all seem to be slow to sex but now there are a few pistols showing in the main growth mode so I’m v happy. The cheese plants are doing great. When I was LST’ing I must admit in order to make the canopy much more even I decided to try ‘supercropping??’ I pinched the stem enough for it to go soft and bend so I could get the highest growth node to the same height as all the others. It looked aweful after I did it but now after 24h it looks a lot better - really healthy even! I must admit I gave them a heavy dose of microbes and molasses just after bending and tying. Im sure that had a lot to do with the fast recovery. Full steam ahead to see some bloody pistols!!!!! Im working on which strains I want to grow next at the mo as well. Trying to get sweet seeds to send me some Tropicanna poison but not sure if they send test seeds to the UK. Probably not - we’ll see. Iv been wanting to grow that plant for aaaages. I’m also looking for a really decent gas strain. I been recommended NYCD. Havnt narrowed down a breeder yet tho. UPDATE - Saturday Thought I’d do a quick update just to say I added a few photos and a video from my security camera in there. It’s quite useful just to see how much they are stretching in a week. Not that I need to know it’s just cool. Also when I go away (as I do most weekends for about 2-3 days - sometimes more) I can just tune into the cam to make sure my physical security hasn’t been breached by any gangs lol. Well not any gangs just one - and they happen to be backed by the government. Lol I worry that when I’m away they will raid and leave me an arrest warrant after having stolen all my plants and meds. It’s a fairly dramatic fear but it’s not without its reasonings. I have been raided by the police number it’s times so it’s not a totally irrational fear - the difference is that I’m sober now (other than cannabis medicine of course) and so I’m not drawing attention to myself and bringing unwanted eyes on me and secondly (and maybe more important) I don’t actually sell drugs or weed or anything anymore so yeh. It’s a rational irrational fear lol I do believe the police have bigger fish to fry HOWEVER here in the UK it is still VERY illegal to grow so i have absolutely no doubt that given any chance they would happily relieve me of everything iv built up in the past 4 years (whilst being on probation I will add lol). The proof is in the pudding though. Every since I quit using heroin and benzodiazepines in favour of cannabis things have just been getting better and better and iv been able to function better and better also. I must admit I was worried for a while that cannabis took away my creativity when I used lots of it but I am learning that it was actually just the fact that my life was in a place I didn’t like and I was dealing with serious childhood trauma. When I was using heroin and benzos it allowed me to cover it in order to live my daily life (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t have been willing to put up with the MANY negatives - there had to be something it was doing for me), however, when I took away the numbing opiates and benzos I had to start dealing with it and it was that trauma and having to deal with it which is why I wasn’t able to be creative. I’m an artist and so creativity is very important to me but for months, well years actually I just wasn’t able to paint or even play music really for that matter. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, I think now because I was just preoccupied in my mind dealing with stuff. I won’t deny tho - that cannabis in excess DOES take away my motivation to get up off my ass and turn the TV or Netflix off though. I do have to watch out for that because If I’m not careful I can end up sitting there all day smoking when I should be out doing stuff and then I miss windows for my other crops where I can’t just turn the light source on and off whenever I feel like it - it’s quite hard to do that with the sun!! Anyway - I kind of use this space as a proper diary every now and again when I need to get something out. It’s not like anyone but me really reads these bits anyway so it doesn’t really matter!! Hell - even I don’t really read them tbh! UPDATE - I’m all jazzed up about growing again for sure. I somehow only just figured out really that you I can program different ‘scenes’ within my temp and humidity controllers. So anyway obviously the past month it’s been set to the veg/auto settings and I recently obviously had to switch it to the flower settings but I kind of forgot to lower the RH and adjust temp accordingly. So anyway that’s a long way of saying I did that lol. I’m definitely going to include another CBG seed in my new grow as I’m really interested in growing some hemp for medicinal use. Maybe as a tincture and or edibles, probably from rosin. It just seems to make sense rather than doing a nasty crude extraction using alcohol. The only trouble is I believe I sacrifice yield but then the flip side Is it would be less because there is less nasty shit. So I havnt narrowed down a specific breeder yet but iv been looking at a few. I was also looking at 1:1 CBD/CBG strains but they said they need more breeding before it brings the cbg ratios up in the majority of plants as it’s meant for people planting hundreds of seeds (from what I can gather). I received Fastbuds LSD-25, purple lemonade, chemdawg and I dunno something else but I’m kind of uninterested in growing them atm so they’ll stay in the vault. (which is growing pretty big now lol) To satisfy my purple craving I will be growing the sweet seeds Tropicanna poison as it looks banging and iv wanted to grow it since I sort of half grew the Dutch passion critical orange punch. So a long time. I will also be narrowing down two strains from the EU humboldt site. I intend to order tomorrow evening when I get paid as I’m always paranoid of them selling out. This is the only time iv really slowed down to choose what I want to grow. Also this is the first time iv chosen based on flavour first. I intend to cover sweet, sour, Chem and citrus with probably 4 THC dom strains and then the cbg variety also. I’m interested in starting to look at KNF but mainly from a vegetable plot perspective atm. I’m happy and comfortable using salt based nutrients now I’m not paying a lot for them and I’m not buying into the whole shipping a load of water philophosy - I do realise it can only get me so far tho. I do believe my allotment is a good place to start as I’m not reliant upon it. So if my practices don’t work it’s not as big of a deal to me. I rely on my cannabis crop - I can’t say the same about my veg yet.

2nd net is up. Early bud formations are promising. holding up to the extremes pretty well, some leaves taking minor damage, but overall, she is holding up, gave her 1 night at 50F see how she would react, stressful. Not advised as it messes with her metabolism, but I want to see if it triggers any anthocyanin response. Love to see her purp up but no signs yet. Remember, For every molecule of glucose produced during photosynthesis, a plant needs to split six molecules of water. This process provides the hydrogen needed for synthesizing glucose and other organic compounds, while oxygen is released as a byproduct. Homework. If Rubisco activity is impaired and it cannot properly function or regenerate its substrate, the plant's leaves are likely to turn a pale green or lime green, a condition known as chlorosis. Essentially, Rubisco activity is highly regulated and susceptible to various environmental and metabolic factors that can cause it to become inhibited, leading to an apparent failure in RuBP regeneration due to a lack of consumption. Rubisco regeneration is intrinsically linked to nitrogen supply because Rubisco is a major sink for nitrogen in plants, typically accounting for 15% to over 25% of total leaf nitrogen. The regeneration phase itself consumes nitrogen through the synthesis of the Rubisco enzyme and associated proteins (like Rubisco activase), and overall nitrogen status heavily influences the efficiency of RuBP regeneration. RuBisCO is a very large enzyme that constitutes a significant proportion (up to 50%) of leaf soluble protein and requires large investments in nitrogen. Insufficient nitrogen supply limits the plant's ability to produce adequate amounts of RuBisCO, thereby limiting the overall capacity for photosynthesis and carbon fixation. Maintaining the optimal, slightly alkaline pH is crucial for the proper function and regeneration of Rubisco. Deviations in either direction (too high or too low) disrupt the enzyme's structure, activation state, and interaction with its substrates, leading to decreased activity and impaired RuBP regeneration. (Lime/yellowing) Structural Component: Nitrogen is an essential building block for all proteins, and the sheer abundance of the Rubisco protein makes it the single largest storage of nitrogen in the leaf. Synthesis and Activity: Adequate nitrogen supply is crucial for the synthesis and maintenance of sufficient Rubisco enzyme and Rubisco activase (Rca), the regulatory protein responsible for maintaining Rubisco's active state. Nitrogen deficiency leads to a decrease in the content and activity of both Rubisco and Rca, which in turn limits the maximum carboxylation rate, Vmax, and the rate of RuBP regeneration Jmax, thus reducing overall photosynthetic capacity. Nitrogen Storage and Remobilization: Rubisco can act as a temporary nitrogen storage protein, which is degraded to remobilize nitrogen to other growing parts of the plant, especially under conditions of nitrogen deficiency or senescence. Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE): The allocation of nitrogen to Rubisco is a key determinant of a plant's photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). In high-nitrogen conditions, plants may accumulate a surplus of Rubisco, which may not be fully activated, leading to a lower PNUE. Optimizing the amount and activity of Rubisco relative to nitrogen availability is a target for improving crop NUE. Photorespiration and Nitrogen Metabolism: Nitrogen metabolism is also linked to the photorespiration pathway (which competes with carboxylation at the Rubisco active site), particularly in the reassimilation of ammonia released during the process. To increase RuBisCO regeneration, which refers to the process of forming the CO2 acceptor molecule Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) during photosynthesis, the primary methods involve optimizing the levels and activity of Rubisco activase (Rca) and enhancing the performance of other Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzymes. Biochemical and Environmental Approaches: Optimize Rubisco Activase (Rca) activity: Rca is a crucial chaperone protein that removes inhibitory sugar phosphates, such as CA1P (2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1-phosphate), from the Rubisco active site, thus maintaining its catalytic competence. •Ensure optimal light conditions: Rca is light-activated via the chloroplast's redox status. Adequate light intensity ensures Rca can effectively maintain Rubisco in its active, carbamylated state. •Maintain optimal temperature: Rca is highly temperature-sensitive and can become unstable at moderately high temperatures (e.g., above 35°C/95F° in many C3 plants), which decreases its ability to activate Rubisco. Maintaining temperatures within the optimal range for a specific plant species is important. •Optimize Mg2+ concentration: Mg2+ is a key cofactor for both Rubisco carbamylation and Rca activity. In the light, Mg2+ concentration in the chloroplast stroma increases, promoting activation. •Manage ATP/ADP ratio: Rca activity depends on ATP hydrolysis and is inhibited by ADP. Conditions that maintain a high ATP/ADP ratio in the chloroplast stroma favor Rca activity. Enhance Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle enzyme activity: The overall rate of RuBP regeneration can be limited by other enzymes in the cycle. •Increase SBPase activity: Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key regulatory enzyme in the regeneration pathway, and increasing its activity can enhance RuBP regeneration and overall photosynthesis. •Optimize other enzymes: Overexpression of other CBB cycle enzymes such as fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) and triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) can also help to balance the metabolic flux and improve RuBP regeneration capacity. Magnesium ions, Mg2+, are specifically required for Rubisco activation because the cation plays a critical structural and chemical role in forming the active site: A specific lysine residue in the active site must be carbamylated by a CO2 molecule to activate the enzyme. The resulting negatively charged carbamyl group then facilitates the binding of the positively charged Mg2+ion. While other divalent metal ions like Mn2+ can bind to Rubisco, they alter the enzyme's substrate specificity and lead to dramatically lower activity or a higher rate of the non-productive oxygenation reaction compared to Mg2+, making them biologically unfavorable in the context of efficient carbon fixation. The concentration of Mg2+ in the chloroplast stroma naturally increases in the light due to ion potential balancing during ATP synthesis, providing a physiological mechanism to ensure the enzyme is activated when photosynthesis is possible. At the center of the porphyrin ring, nestled within its nitrogen atoms, is a Magnesium ion (Mg2+). This magnesium ion is crucial for the function of chlorophyll, and without it, the pigment cannot effectively capture and transfer light energy. Mg acts as a cofactor: Mg2+ binds to Rubisco after an activator CO2 molecule, forming a catalytically competent complex (Enzyme-CO2-Mg2+). High light + CO2) increases demand: Under high light (60 DLI is a very high intensity, potentially saturating) and high CO2, the plant's capacity for photosynthesis is high, and thus the demand for activated Rubisco and the necessary Mg2+ cofactor increases. Mg deficiency becomes limiting: If Mg2+ is deficient under these conditions, the higher levels of Rubisco and Rubisco activase produced cannot be fully activated, leading to lower photosynthetic rates and potential photo-oxidative damage. Optimal range: Studies show that adequate Mg2+ application can enhance Rubisco activation and stabilize net photosynthetic rates under stress conditions, but the required concentration is specific to the experimental setup. Monitoring is key: The most effective approach in a controlled environment is to monitor the plant's physiological responses e.g., leaf Mg2+ concentration, photosynthetic rate, Rubisco activation state, and adjust the nutrient solution/fertilizer to maintain adequate levels, rather than supplementing a fixed "extra" amount. In practice, this means ensuring that Mg2+ is not a limiting factor in the plant's standard nutrient solution when pushing the limits with high light and CO2. Applying Mg2+ through foliar spray is beneficial to Rubisco regeneration, particularly in alleviating the negative effects of magnesium (Mg) deficiency and high-temperature stress (HTS). While Mg can be leached from soil, within the plant it is considered a mobile nutrient, particularly in the phloem. Foliar-applied Mg is quickly absorbed by the leaves and can be translocate to other plant parts, including new growth and sink organs. Foliar application of: NATURES VERY OWN MgSO4 @ 15.0g L-1 in a spray bottle. For those high-intensity workouts when 1 meal a day is just not enough! Foliar sprays are often recommended as a rapid rescue measure for existing deficiencies or as a supplement during critical growth stages, when demand for Mg is high. Application in the early morning or late evening can improve absorption and prevent leaf burn. The plant was getting a little limey yellow in the centre. Shortly thereafter, she was back in business, green mostly regenerated. The starting point [of creativity] is curiosity: pondering why the default exists in the first place. We’re driven to question defaults when we experience vuja de, the opposite of déjà vu. Déjà vu occurs when we encounter something new, but it feels as if we’ve seen it before. Vuja de is the reverse—we face something familiar, but we see it with a fresh perspective that enables us to gain new insights into old problems. Confidence is evidence... nothing more. You are confident because you have driven 10,000 times, you are confident because you have spoken 10,000 times. People think confidence is a feeling, but it's not. If you want more confidence, then you need to create evidence, take more shots, collect more data, build more experiences, take more risks; fail, confidence doesn't come first; it is the reward you get for doing the work. no one else wants to do.

Time to give this P2000 a secont run, and in it i will run a single clone that i took from my previous run, i took one from each phenotype and from them i chose the one i like the most in terms of plant structure , terpene profile and in the end smoke test also, that one is the most important one lol and the one with the most value on my decision, saying this dont judge me on this hahahaha i kind a forget it in the corner and now its time to bring her up to her full potential. I started by transplanting her from her tinny pot to a 25 L one , had to the soil 100g of All in one Pellets, a touch of microbial life and some Mycor to the roots and ready she is, gave them a foliar feeding with APTUS HOLLAND nutrispray and gave them a full feeding with the on the water sine the pallets will take a couple days minimum to start breaking and becoming available for the plants to take, i will let her adapt to it all for now and then i will star training her to became a tiny ginormous beautiful lady best, covered in trichomes and smelling like pines falling out of pine trees in the middle of the woods. As for the PAR department for now i am giving them 600 PPFD and running my VIPARSPECTRA P2000 @ 69% Looking at them an i decided that it was a good idea to start some training going on in this girl, so i gave her a new look and lets see how she goes from here, i spray them again with APTUS HOLLAND Nutrispray to help thing move faster . And they are coming back to life , in just a couple of days i can notice that they love the fact that im giving them my love and attention Is it just me or they are bouncing back fast af ? Not complaining at all hehehe , did some more training today, if they keep evolving like this i will be able soon to start taking leafs and selecting what to keep and what have to go. Just recently started collaborating with APTUS HOLAND and i have to give a big shoutout to them ,Thank you Aptus Holland for believing in my love for growing , fells amazing wen you already believe and buy a product and they come and start supporting your love for it all 🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚🙌🙌🙌✊✊✊ As always thank you guys for your love , your time, your support and it all, i fell blessed and i am truly thankful 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌 Let the games begin hihihihi All i grow is medicine for myself, for me and for my best friend with is me 😆 nothing to sell, so don’t even ask 😅💚💚💚 All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://viparspectra.eu/collections/grow-lights DISCOUNT CODE 5% - DOGDOCTOR ( all store ) https://www.zamnesia.com DISCOUNT CODE 10% - GROWITGD ( just for seeds ) https://aptus-holland.com/ #aptus #aptusplantteck #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #viparspectra #zamnesiaseeds #growerslove With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚💚💚 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg 💚💚💚Growers love to you all 💚💚💚

D01 - 25/09 -> New Home for my fellows clones coming from one of biggest plant I ever saw: a Royal Queen Seeds Skunk XL D02 - 26/09 -> I think she has a little zinc deficency, so i dropped down to ph to 5.5 D03 - 27/09 -> Topped one girl to see what happens. If everything goes well, I'm going to topping all of them. Increased EC until 1.3 D04 - 28/09 -> Topping of other buds D05 - 29/09 -> Rest for the girls. Increased EC until 1.5 D06 - 30/09 -> SCROG Net Setup and a little of defolation. Tomorrow I'm going to cut all the branches below the red line (see picture). I want to make a main lining alongside the SCROG Net with 2-3 branches and cut off all the branches below except for the girl on the left that is too short yet. D07 - 01/10 -> I Cut off the branches of only one girl, waiting to see her reaction to the stress before to do the same to other girls. Increased EC until 1.8.

After our initial week with small issues keeping temperature and humidity consistent; we added a fan, hung our carbon filter and fixed the ducting to lower ambient temperature. We have also polyed off the entire closet to better control the environment. Our humidity and temperature have become dialed! Plants are both growing well and stretching nicely. Noticing on plant number one that it is now growing new fan leaves below where they had skipped previously. We did top it earlier in the week. Number two is growing strong, still has some browning from the heat with lack of humidity in the first week but still growing strong! Number 3 is growing strong now that the shell has fallen off. It is standing tall! Cannot wait to see how week 3 looks!

SATURDAY: Today I mixed up 5g of nutes for my bloomers and douched them. I'll let them dry completely for 2-3 days, then flush them a bit with a little boomerang and calmag. I ordered a Gorilla lite-Line High CFM kit last week and received it today...fits my tent poles perfectly. This really works to keep the tent walls from collapsing in too far, and I was able to use one pole to rig a shelf to put the fan. That freed up a good bit more floor space. Yesterday, I ordered a 4 x 4 Vivosun tent and inline fan, and a 1500w (5 x 300w COBs)..this tent will be for vegging autos to put into the flowering tent as others are harvested, as well as a place to veg photos that I encounter before they are moved outdoors. I'll probably end up ordering another of the same lights, but for now I have a few supplemental lights I can use...blues and daylights. I'll drop a few WW's or CC's as soon as that stuff arrives so they are big enough to occupy flowering tent space in a few weeks. SUNDAY: I spun everybody around and misted with spring water a couple times throughout the day and formulated my plan for ventilation of the new tent which should be here Tuesday. I plan to hook the exhaust from my 4' x 5' tent as fresh air intake in the top of my 4' x 4'. By doing so, all that good CO2 that is exhausted from the flowering tent will rain down over the veg tent inhabitants before being exhausted from the bottom of the tent. I don't think heat will be a problem in the new tent with so much less light, so I'm optimistic that it will work just fine. I may even route the exhausted veg tent air back into the bottom of the flower tent, giving the girls another shot at the CO2 enriched air....we'll see... MONDAY: Got the room ready for the new tent which will arrive tomorrow, misted, rearranged, and whispered sweet nothings to all the girls. Tried out my new macro lens...need practice.. TUESDAY: Mixed up 7.5 gallons of nutes for the bloomers...ceased open sesame and began beastie bloomz. Assembled my new 4' x 4' Vivosun tent and set up its ventilation and lights. I implemented my idea of exhausting the semi-cool/CO2-rich air from my flowering tent into the top of the veg tent. Only needed 5' of flex duct, so it's got great airflow..no need for another intake fan...yay! Tomorrow I'll get the 6" x 6" x 6" 'Y' duct and connect my 6" booster fan to it. The booster fan will still be sticking into the flower tent, drawing 70 degree a/c air into the tent via direct flex duct connection, but will now be mixed with the exhausted air from the veg tent. I'm probably gonna keep the ventilation in both tents running once I've got a fully closed-loop system. The only reason I was shutting down the ventilation was so that CO2 would build up for 4 hours, but even if it gets exhausted from the flower tent, whatever the veg tent inhabitants don't consume will find it's way back to the flower tent in under a minute...and so on, and so on.. I spent a while putting together a lighting schedule that will allow me to decrease temperatures while still keeping optimal color spectrums and maintaining good light intensity. Had to empty the tent so I could get to everything...what a pain! --------------------------------------------------- FLOWERING TENT Timer #1 --- exhaust, intake (digital timer) on - 6:15am off - 2:15am Timer #2 -- primary blurple light (manual timer) on - 6:30am off - 10:30am on - 11:30am off - 3:30pm on - 4:30pm off - 6:00pm on - 6:30pm off - 8:30pm on - 9:30pm off - 2:00am Timer #3 -- all 4 daylight cobs (manual timer + power strip) on - 6:00am off - 12:00pm on - 12:30pm off - 6:00pm on - 6:30pm off - 2:00am Timer #4 -- all 4 overhead reds, sub-canopy tubes, side strip lights (manual timer + power strip) on - 1:00am off - 6:30am on - 10:30am off - 11:30am on - 3:30pm off - 4:30pm on - 8:30pm off - 9:30pm Timer #5 -- all 4 miracle LED (flowering) in corners, corner, daylight supplemental (manual timer + power strip) on - 6:00am off - 10:30am on - 11:30am off - 3:30pm on - 4:30pm off - 8:30pm on - 9:30pm off - 2:00am ---------------------------------------------- VEGETATIVE TENT Timer #1 --- primary light and exhaust (manual timer + 3-way splitter) on - 6:00am off - 2:00am Timer #2 --- blue supplementals (manual timer + power strip) on - 2:00am off - 6:00am on - 10:00am off - 2:00pm on - 4:00pm off - 8:00pm Watching temps closely.... ------------------------------------------ WEDNESDAY: My new lighting schedule seems to be working..high was 87 today, and it dropped into the upper 70's last night...schweet! I'm pretty confident that when I get my ducting in on Friday and have the closed-loop ventilation for the two tents completed, that it will drop the temp even further and I'll not be wasting so much precious CO2...and then I can ADD MORE LIGHTS and begin with renewed heat mitigation efforts!!! I'm really wanting to pump up the deep reds and maybe far reds during their 4-hour "nighttime" ...maybe more low-wattage sub-canopy tube lights, too. I guess that the girls really loved the Beastie Bloomz...much fattening happening... It was so nice being able to move Kushpialidocious into the new veg tent...more space, better canopy penetration. THURSDAY: Spun everybody around and misted with spring water..soil still moist. Temps held pretty much...86-87 all day..i changed the overhead light timer a bit so it kicks on a half hour earlier and as a result temp climbed to 89-90 for about 15 minutes, but quickly dropped to 85 when the 4 COBs turned off... when the big blurple and 4 miracle leds in the corners ( + the extra 40w daylight supplemental in my darkest corner) turned off 15 minutes later, it quickly dropped to 79.....15 minutes later...74...15 minutes later...72!!! "By Jove, I think he's got it!" I might actually be able to harvest these fuckers with all terpenes intact.👍 On second thought.😎..I'm gonna dial back the reds a half hour again (and maybe the 4 COBs), because I'm going to try switching out the 40w Sansi bulb for my extra 100w Bridgelux/Epistar 3500k COB light. (MORE POWER!) I really don't think it gets very much, if any, hotter than the Sansi 40w. I'm really hoping to keep it below 90 at all times and as close to 70 as possible at night (red zone).. new temperature test will be tomorrow. It will also be the first run with the closed-loop ventilation system in place...all ventilation will remain on at all times in both tents, and based on my rudimentary calculations, my 2 x 6" inline fans and the 6" duct booster can move enough air to circulate through both tents about 240 times per hour. I figured that like this: The 3 fans move 1,010 cfm. The two grow spaces total 252 cu ft (4 x 5 and 4 x 4) There is just over 12 feet of ducting involved in the loop, which is about 6 additional cubic feet. Correct me if I'm wrong...I'm not an HVAC guy.. The A/C kicks on, on average, every 12 minutes, so there will be a regular supply of cool fresh air injected into the mix as well. My hopes are high! (and so am I) One other interesting thing is that the addition of the 4-5 gallons of frozen water in jugs makes the substrate temp stay in the lower 70's all day long..I'm hoping the roots at least get the signal that "Winter is coming." FRIDAY: Well, shit. My closed-loop ventilation system didn't work quite right...evidently, I should have studied up on calculus. Rather than the negative pressure in both tents that I expected, both tents swole up like they were snakebit..(positive pressure?)..and temperatures in both tents started to rise...no pinche bueno. I'm sure it's my math that's off..., for example, I didn't account for the fact that the flowering tent has a carbon filter which decreases the cfm's considerably, and the intermittent flow of central air is a variable that I am also uncertain how to factor. So....I scrapped the idea until I can achieve truly equivalent intake and exhaust in both tents. HOWEVER...I did discover a trick that I will dub a "heat siphon," which is a definite improvement, but only in the veg tent. When I disconnected the flex duct from the 6" inline fan(exhaust) in the veg tent, I had intended to stub it off for now. I noticed that there was considerable "back-flow" caused by the duct booster intake fan in the flowering tent. So, the duct booster draws air from the a/c register, AND from duct which I've placed in the veg tent immediately above the light. I moved the 6" inline fan in the veg tent to to top of the tent and connected a 3' piece of duct to it that is also placed immediately above the one side of the light, so heat from the veg light is ejected into the room and partially drawn into the flower tent where it is mixed with cool a/c air, carbon scrubbed, and sent to the veg tent raining the unused CO2 down over them at about 85 degrees, which is considerably cooler than the normal tent temp. It's still not perfect.. Because the flowering tent is absorbing some of the heat drawn of the veg tent light, I'm up 3-4 degrees on average in the flowering tent, which is not what I was hoping for at all...it's now hitting 92 degrees in the flowering tent at some points during the day, and hovering at 79-80 at night, so I'm gonna have to revise the lighting schedule again..

She was flipped to flower this week. Its only been three days of 12/12, but we are starting to see more pistols and tiny signs of bloom. In addition, I transitioned the feeding to the AC Infinity auto-feeding base. Right know I'm still using the Sesni Grow vegetation nutrients and will for probably another week before I start to add in Sensi bloom. She still needs a ton of N, so vegetation nutrients are just fine. 10/3/2024 - fed her another gallon of water and I’m slowly introducing sensi bloom at 5ml/gal.

Hello. Wow! There has been a lot of color changing going on here. I'll be harvesting in 6 days. I've flushed 3 times so far and I will do 1 more flush before harvest. I had a extra #2 clone and put it in the garden, where I harvested the onions. I wanted to test for powdery mildew and pest resistance. I took some tester/taster clippings and they will be dry in a few days. Nothing else for this week. Have Fun. Chuck.
