Humidity 55rh in lung area 60-70rh in tents. Inline fan on half way. Turned up all the way now. Soon to turn on dehuey and start lowering rh. Leds went from dimmed all the way to 25% day two, 50% day 3 and 75% day 4 then left it there. Just seeing if less stress equals happier growth, seems like it. So much light green in leafs from exploding in growth specially the other tent youll see.

Light defol lollipop in the other tent but about to look at the night shift pier see if a few lower sink leafs can be plucked for PM. Was busy but have time now. Need to get the scrog net up asap and finish defol prune but dont want to stress them see if that helps build a strong structure.

Also not over prune as idk what its going to be, I did GLR and 9/15 for a few runs. The other temt going crazy idk what its gonna look like. I guess keep doing what I normally do but with strategy of light schedule and vegging long enough. Prune and defol and grab bull by the horns and show that vigorous bush whos boss. Grow fat redirected growth as colas.
 
Seeing if this helps the electric bill too. Also this is full blown summer so my plan of turning off portable ac for home ac thats on all day and night now. So far so good just open vent according to how much cooling I want. Soon will be as much possible when I have both dehueys on max and leds on max. Kinda are already and need to remember full electric load make sure not overloading it for too long.

It should keep around 83F max so it will be hot but not the whole time. It will start lower and slowly rise but stay at about 83F toward end of day. If I cant bare the heat for sleep Il turn on portable ac. Or for the plants during day briefly if I have to. The idea is use it minimally or else the bill will be sky high it already is. When its a cool day Il use my ac since home is off.
 
So next time clearly should put the less vigor plants upstairs so they can grow bigger faster. Then let the biggest ones slow down a bit in the cool basement veg area like this one. It will be too stuffed tho so its a trade off. If I want all tents losing control tho for extra yield..

Ive been making 378 buckets of fert solution each run. No wonder it feels like Ive done it a thousand times because I did lol. New strategy to leason the work load is do 6x a day for 2 wks then 8x a day for wks 3-4 then 12x a day “if needed” for wks 5-7 then last couple wks and on will do back to 8x a day.

This will save 84 buckets so only 294. Lol “only.”

I can brind it down to 262 if I dont need the 12x a day. I should see if the bags over the pots sealed up will allow this. I just did 12x a day because it needed it on all plants at the time no bag. Then put the bags and just wanted a perfect run so did 12x a day right away. Then low rh of 35 with some spikes as those stop later on for somereason.

Maybe the plants on overload but as buds swell it starts to slow down a bit on breathing through the leafs. Around the time budrot is a concern it started to stay in range the rh. Anyway its worth a shot. The bags usually have water droplets and bearded roots but lets see dialing that back a bit hopefully ec dont spike too much.

These buckets driving me crazy but its not a problem other than that. I got real fast at dialing in ec then luckly ph dont need adjustment year round. So its just my thing. The bucket man.
 
So far 6x a day is good a week into flower. Its pretty moist 4 hrs later right before the next feed. Just gotta keep checking that if I want to save some damn labor.

this is why i went back to soil, lol
 
Its no problems tho, just labor. With soil its all problems. Im sure if I kept trying I would figure it out but by then Id lose thousands in product for myself. I guess growing is a business and got to make business decisions lol. Being this far in its just redundant to change anything major with what I do.

I did the buckets to solve rotting solution by swapping all the water out every 2 days max. I could get a water chiller but would need to take away 400-600w of grow to do it. I might when my stash is up but then floods are a bigger concern. They surely do happen and that would end my grow if a ceiling downstairs collaspes from 60 gallons spilled.

I dont think Id get the extract lab like results I get tho. With everything so uniform. I tried a few soil grows they just wouldnt do this good. Problem solving is easy and we all help eachother with similar advice but with soil its so conflicting. I still read soil threads and learn what I can but I see others go through the same thing.

i grow for myself i don't sell any, i switch around with my methods but tbh i like soil smoke the most, each medium has its own learning curve, im about to setup a small scale DWC single pot just to screw around with some things, just trying to settle on which seed is going in first lol
