Green Poison XL #1 - Gamora - Looks healthy so far - topped at Node 4 - kept the fan leaves this time.!
Dark Devil #3 - Thanos - Looks healthy so far - topped at node 3.
Dark Devil #4 - Yondu - Image Unavailable - Seed is germinating in paper towel so I can monitor it.
*** I will wait until the tap root is 2.5 cm (1.0") long before transplanting into coco.
Environment #1 - Autoflower Veg/Flower:
I am tracking the RH, canopy temperature and VPD with the Inkbird IBS-TH1.
Environment # 1 is mutually exclusive from Environment # 2.
The exhaust fan is running 24-0 to prevent a rise in temperature & RH, and to prevent smells in the house.
I do not want to turn off the exhaust fan because it will smell up the house.
The humidifier is turned off.
The dehumidifier is turned off.
Two X6 lights are running 1 cycle of "20 hours lights-on and 4 hours lights-off".
The two X6 lights are 45 cm (18") above the canopy centered over the vegging plants.
An X6 light gives off 2°C (4°F) of heat.
CO2 is refreshed frequently because the exhaust fan and the oscillating fan are always on.
*** The room temperature is running around 20°C (68°F) and RH 50%.
*** The environment humidity is running steady around RH 52.5% with lights-on.
*** The environment humidity peaks up to RH 65% with lights-off.
*** The environment temperature is running steady around 28°C (82°F) with lights-on.
*** The environment temperature dips down to 22°C (68°F) with lights-off.
*** VPD is running steady about 1.36 - High Transpiration: Late Veg/Early Flower - lights-on.
*** VPD is peaking at about 0.62 - Low Transpiration: Propagation/ Early Veg - lights-off.
*** On hot days, with two X6 lights on, the VPD enters the Danger Zone.
*** With the exhaust fan on 24-0, it keeps pulling air in from the room.
*** To change the VPD in the tent, I have change the environment parameters in the room.
*** To decrease VPD for lights-on ... I need to either raise the room RH by 5% or decrease the room temp by 2°C (4°F) .
*** The VPD Values I am Using For This Grow (Version 1)
Growth Stage:
Cream Caramel CBD # 1 ... Day 04/ Week 8 ... Day 53 ... Day 11/Week 2 flower.
Red Mandarin # 1 ... Day 04/ Week 8 ... Day 53 ... Day 11/Week 2 flower.
*** They got their pistels on August 20, 2019.
*** Most credible seed banks present "weeks to flower" as weeks from first getting pistels.
*** Should be due for the 4 week regular flush around September 04, 2019.
*** Should be due for the final bloom flush/feed(CGRSFS, BPSS, CS, BTTE) around October 01, 2019.
*** Should be ready for harvest around October 15, 2019.
*** Photoperiod Stages: 5 days Germination, 1 week seedling, 2-8 weeks veg, 6-12 weeks flower, 4-12 weeks cure
*** Allow 1 day to 3 days of dark before switching to 12-12
*** Pistels show up about 14 days (2 weeks) after switching to 12-12

*** It was transplanted into 5 gallon pots on August 29, 2019.
*** Dark Devil # 3 should be ready for harvest around October 07, 2019 (8½ weeks after germination).
Dark Devil # 4: Day 01/ Week 0 ... Day 0 ... 24 hour water soak in cup.
*** I will wait until the tap root is 2.5 cm (1.0") long before transplanting into coco.
*** Autoflower Stages: 5 days Germination, 1 week seedling, 3 weeks veg, 3 weeks pre-flower, 3-6 weeks flower, 4-12 weeks cure
*** Pistels show up about 35 days (5 weeks) after Germination
*** Flowering takes about 56 days (8 weeks) after pistels show up
Watering and Feeding:
Cream Caramel CBD's & Red Mandarin's Regular Feed:
*** Next regular feed ... 1.5 litres (0.40 gallons) - Full Dose - Week 6 - CGRSFS, BPSS, CS, BTTE - September 04, 2019.
*** Expecting about 1% of run-off. Stop watering right at run-off.
Dark Devil # 2, Killer Kush & Green Poison XL Regular Feed:
*** Next regular feed ... 1.0 litre (0.26 gallons) - Full Dose - Week 5 - CGRSFS, BPSS, CS, BTTE - September 04, 2019.
*** Expecting about 1% of run-off. Stop watering right at run-off.
Dark Devil # 3:
*** Next regular feed ... 0.5 litres (0.13 gallons) - Full Dose - Week 3 - CGRSFS, BPSS, CS, BTTE - September 04, 2019.
*** Expecting about 1% of run-off. Stop watering right at run-off.
*** I will do a regular feed(CGRSFS, RME)/feed(CGRSFS, BPSS, CS, BTTE)/water cycle for all regular weeks.
*** I will do full-on bloom feeds(CGRSFS, BPSS, CS, BTTE) for the last two weeks prior to harvest.
*** For details on my feeding schedule refer to here: The Different Feeds I need For This Grow (Version 2)
Activities:
My priority is to expose the growth nodes to light and air because they are going to become colas.
Notes:
Letting the soil dry out between watering and feeds so the tap root can hit the water table at the bottom of the pot, and to prevent over watering.
The colas at the ends of the C.R.E.A.M.'s & Cheese's quadline lines are much bigger than the side colas.
I am noticing that the side branches don't grow that well, so I am going to try topping a lot more.
I prefer to train the plants more and to start them in 5 gallon pots.
Having vegging and flowering autoflowers in the same tent is difficult.
With the environment #1 exhaust fan on 24-0, it keeps pulling air in from the room.
To change the VPD in the tent, I have change the environment parameters in the room.
To decrease VPD for lights-on ... I need to either raise the room RH by 5% or decrease the room temp by 2°C (4°F) .
*** I am looking forward to starting my LUX analysis soon.
