Blackberry Moonrocks Photo Run. 4x4 Organic

[cpurola]

Looking great. I grew White Widow the first year it was legal. Bought Afghan Auto seeds from Seedsman and they included free Widow photo seeds. It grew in a 10 gallon fabric pot and survived my many attempts to kill it, including Job's house plant spikes. And subsequent attempts at removal after the plant started looking terrible. She did survive, barely. Tough plants. LOL

Watered widows today. Def fade on rear plant. I have about 20 lower fan leafs to spend on this issue. Culling bad leaf ends that are starting to necrotize but will keep the leafs till they are done.
Front widow much better. Any puffy leafs are from previous issues. Not much fade.
Mainlines stretching and I am running a close eye on this. 2 pots close will check at noon. GX up to 45k.
I really need to take all the plants out and install the floor at 8 inches. I will not raise a plant higher than a 5gallon bucket as these are the same diameter as the drain pan and with a gallon of water they are very stable.

Update
Moved tent to 1.3 VPD with 1 degree leaf temp offset.
Brings me below 59% daytime and about 49% at night. Raining today but temp is keeping humidity in check.

Going to extend lights to 7 pm today and light on at 7 am. 6 pm was such a stupid time as at least 3 times a week I had a go downstairs for environment changes while at the dinner table.
Decided for the way I grow 3 gallon pots are going to be it. I know a lot of guys fill the tent wall to wall and defol and strip/ lolly but the ability to pull pots out of the tent is part of the way I run my grows. Both widows are very easy to move and the kxex is just the killer fixture for support.

Kicking around an idea for knex. Running a 4 sided gantry vertical with the plant. My son was a wizard with these things and made a suspension bridge with no plans and rolled his 10 lb bowling ball across it. When used like steel in a building they will easily support a huge pot plant and would not require multiple lift points into growing roots at week 8.
We literally have 40 lbs of these things in 2 huge totes.
And motors, gears, pivots, wheels and such.
One bunch is made into the battletech Avatar and the Madcat mkII. Those will be around on a shelf for a very long time. He made those at age 10 and he is 33 now.

Watered both BKMR later in the day.
Such small plants. It's like I mainlined an auto

Watered GX plant. Looks like that plant is going to produce.

Here is what a trace looks like when your ACI Cloudforge needs cleaning.
Humidity add on but just kept dropping then pop it catches up.

It was within specs and did not send a message but climbed to 80 at 44% humidity.
Will clean the smaller unit that runs on manual but does keep good track when set up properly.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update
With lights on at 7am now I was able to get the humidifier cleaned and reinstalled. At night light off there is zero humidity add.
On in 6 minutes. Bout 50% of the time it fails to launch until you give it a good shake. App reports thermoforge online.

 

[JIMKSI64]

We have activation and control.

Other than the humidifier, your grow is going fantastic! So much better than the autos.

I am going to put everyone on the floor ( ack my back ) in preparation for running the lights up high. I will at least get a better spread and deeper penetration even staying at 50k for widow tops on tall one.
The mainifolds are taking off and stretching so I hafta get that corrected. The GX is now the same hight as the tall Widow now.
Cant/won't push the widows till the fade stops.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update
Well that sucked.
Put all pots on floor with drain pans and
And
And
97% is back to 50k on top widows.
And
And
Lowest temp duct 7 tent closed 80.
And
Then ACI cloudforge went offline. No lights. Plugged into wall but not into controller runs on some random setting.

So back to 13 inches up 67% lights 57% humidity on my manual Vivosun that supposed to be running my veg tent this weekend.
Will look at later or not. Back hurts. Bit stressed but working on that right now.

Well it looked good for 15 minutes.
Also sugar all over big Widow. Dropping temp to 76 today.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Update
Watered big Widow with cal-mag at 3ml gallon rate.
Everyone else good relook at noon.
Manual humidifier and no heat support with grow room door open 76 degrees and 1.3 vdp with 1 degree offset, 57% on humidifier.
Rain all night and rain today. Tent was down to 48%

 

[JIMKSI64]

Watered front widow.
Cal mag bla bla bla
Fade slowing on big one and stopped on small one.

ACI t7 cloud forge still inop.
Sent email with dates and order numbers. Still under 2 year warranty.

This sets back my plans. With this tent using the only humidity add I can not start any seeds as I had planned on doing this weekend. Pretty sure there will be a turn around time on the unit.
What I can do is get another $79 Vivosun unit and condense the 3x3 with the false floor up so that the little humidifier that could can reach 80% for seedlings. It keeps 55 in the 4x4 on duct pull 5 just fine but my guess it would not fill up a 4x4 during seedling stage. If Amazon has it quick I'll be fine.

Noon check on mainlines for service.

Tall one is filling in well with a few double buds in each run.

Smaller widow showing a burst of stretch

Mainlines plodding.

 

[JIMKSI64]

Ok just realized the whole time the front Widow has been mocking me.
I have been trolled by a plant.

The damn thing looks like I mainlined it.
So I clip a top off the GX and I got 9 lined up tops on my front Widow.......
