Thanks for the tag, LKA. I found this info about your Special Skunk.
Is the Bud Factory the same grow tent you're growing your Fruit Punch in? So, do you have 2 @VIVOSUN automated grow tents now?

Thanks for the link Hashgirl. The Fruit Punch is growing in the Playpen, my 32x32 tent. It started as a veg tent, then it was a mother/clone tent. It's working great with the @VIVOSUN Smart grow system

I have to fill the humidifier morning and night to keep it running at 65%, and I mostly remember. When I do, the growing conditions are pretty good. Since leaf surface temperatures are about 2f lower than ambient, and there's plenty of moisture coming up from the buckets, the VPD for the plants is actually quite a bit lower than it shows above.
I haven't really done anything to the res. I'll add Hydroguard or Z7 every once in a while, and I had to do a small pH adjustment, but that's it for the first two weeks. The level still hasn't gone down, but I expect that to change this week. Right now they are at 1g/G MC. I'll add another 1g/G this week, taking them up to around 500-600ppm (1-1.2ec).
I finally them all named so I can start tracking them individually. It looks like they responded pretty well to the 'tough love'.
Cindy, front right, is the leader so far. She has four nodes fully out and is working on her fifth. Her lower growth looks a little wonky but the new growth looks good. She'll probably be topped tomorrow.
Suzy, front left, is the healthiest looking so far. She has three nodes and is working on her fourth. Both of the front buckets are easy to check, and both have a nice little rootball down in the water.
Sandy, back right, is about the same size as Suzy, working on her fourth node. Her cotyledons turned yellow early, before her roots hit the bucket. The rest of her was going the same way, but she's looking better now.
And then there's Speck, in the back left. She took 7 days to come out of her shell, so was still really small when she went into the RDWC. She was the only one without any roots coming out of her plug on transplant. When her first leaf tips turned brown, I thought she was a goner. She's a fighter, though. I still don't see any roots out of the bucket for her, but she's trying. It looks like she may have self-topped, too.
Coming up to the third week and it looks like this grow may be picking up. I'll top them at the fifth node, then put the scrog net up. I'll wait to see how Speck progresses and play that by ear.

She's never going to be as big as her sisters. And even though I spell it 'Speck', it's short for SPECtacular, which we're sure she will beBudMan, I don't think you did yourself any favor by naming the little one "Speck."
I wasn't sure she was going to make it until a day or two ago. I checked this morning, and Speck finally has roots in water. She doubled in size last night too, not that that says much

Right now the smart grow system maxes out at 4x100W lights, or 400W. I'm using the VSF6450 in this tent with 645W. It's also a bar-style light, which gives me better coverage across the 4x4 tent.
I am working on getting the GrowHub and AeroZesh incorporated into this tent. Right now, the GrowHub doesn't work with the VSF6450, but I know @VIVOSUN is working on it
When that happens, I would LOVE to run the smart grow system in this tent!- Thread starter

Yesterday I went down to top Cindy. I was surprised that both Sandy and Suzy were also pushing out their 5th node and ready to be topped. They're so tight it's hard to see that there are four nodes under there. All were topped at the fifth node to promote more lateral growth.
I didn't bother with Speck, it looks like she's already topped herself. Now that she has roots in the water I'm hoping she can catch up to her sisters quickly.
Everyone has roots in the water now, even Speck. I got more lateral rooting than I do when I top water, so I'm skipping the top watering from now on. It looks like the roots were drawn to the 'waterfall' and the roots are enjoying hanging out in the turbulent water.
This morning I added 40g of MC to the res, bringing it up to the 2g/G rate. They've only drank about 1/2 gallon total so far but that I expect they'll pick up this week.
I still have the @VIVOSUN VSF6450 at 40% 36" away. Its giving them about 14k LUX (260ppfd) which is keeping the inter-nodal spacing tight. The tallest plant is about 4" right now. This week I'll set up the scrog net about 7-8" above the buckets. As the lateral branches grow out I'll train them to fill out the net.

You can tell they have roots down in the water because they're really starting to take off. You can't tell how much they're drinking by looking at the water level, though. It's still reading at 45g. Everyone's looking green right now so I'm leaving the res at this level for a little while.
There wasn't much of any lag after they were topped. They haven't gained much height since they were topped but the inner nodes are popping. Cindy is still setting the pace with Suzy and Sandy right behind. Even Speck is trying to lift herself off the paper plate. I'll be putting the scrog net up this weekend.

Weekly Temperatures
Late fall has arrived in Virginia. Last Saturday it was 75f and the A/C was on. Yesterday it was 42f and at nights it's getting down in the 20s. We've always kept the house cool in the winter. Upstairs rarely gets the heat turned on, we just use extra blankets. The main floor has the heat set to 64f. That makes the basement the warmest room in the house. Three tents and the dehumidifier add enough heat to keep it in the low 70's, which is where I try to keep the basement year-round. The plants barely even noticed the seasonal change. I've been keeping the humidifier at 60-65% to keep them around 1.0 VPD. I'll be raising the VPD to the 1.2 range this week to encourage more feeding from the roots. I may even be able to get rid of the humidifier soon!
It's been three weeks and I haven't really added any water to the res, until today I added two gallons this morning with a little nutes and plenty of bennies. I'll continue to top off with nutes and bennies as I add water. They all look green and healthy and the roots loook good so I'm going to try to keep the res right around 5.8pH / 500ppm (1.0 EC) for now.
A little over three weeks into this grow and I really haven't put much effort in so far, but that's about to change. For the first three weeks, my biggest chore has been refilling the humidifier in the tent. For as little as I've done in the last few weeks they are looking fantastic. The @VIVOSUN VSF6450 is at 40% 20 hours/day (4am-12pm). I've played around with Photone and I'm very happy with how even the coverage is around the tent. These girls are growing huge fan leaves and branches that look ready to hold some weight. Everyone is progressing nicely, even Speck. She's still smaller than everyone else but she's gaining quickly.
Those big fan leaves along with fairly tight internodal spacing make it hard to see what's going on with them. Cindy looks like a little cabbage with leaves sticking up everywhere. In the past I've rushed this step, removing fans and trying to get the LST started ASAP. For this grow I'm trying to be patient and wait for the plant to be ready. I'm also trying to remove as little as possible for now. I'll wait for the branches to grow into/above the net then tuck them back under.
This net is not ideal (squares too big), so I may need to use some wire to LST inside the squares. I'll leave the leaves alone for now, tucking them if needed. Hopefully Speck makes it up to the net before her sisters fill it up

Looking good LKABudMan! I do love that setup you've got going!!

Thanks Rex, I do too. The RDWC is very low maintenance. Having the 'sink' right next to the res makes adding to and changing the res pretty easy. Being 45 gallons, the pH and PPMs are very stable, but still move enough to let me know what's going on with the plants.
My biggest issue right now is res temperatures around 74-75f, a bit higher than I would like. I know when the canopy fills in and lights go to 12/12 that will drop to 70-72f. For now, though, I'm keeping en eye on it and adding lots of bennies
Looks like you've got some big ones coming Budman!
You'll need to somehow leave room for Spec on purpose. I think she's gonna' be late to the party.
