Wait-- how has this thread gone on for 4 pages and no one has asked about that awesome light sconce? :lol:

I recently learned that if the stems are also drooping, then it's likely under-watering. I asked a similar question about my plants in this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/cut-bait-or-stick-it-out.1066909/. In my case, I was definitely under-watering. After a good watering they all perked up...

@Rocket Soul -- Thank you! This is great information. Getting the plants on a consistent and adequate watering schedule got them back on track. I noticed that growth did seem to slow. I started to keep track of VPD after reading about the relationship between the plants' uptake of...

Thank you!!

@ivory420 great advice! From my own experience, I would also add that when investing in any tech that collects data, make sure that it allows you access/download your data in some format (e.g., csv, json, etc...). In other words, try to stay away from products that lock you into proprietary data...

Brilliant!

I saw this method used by bonsai growers, where they secure anchors through the bottom of the container before filling with medium (like in the photo below). I think I may try this next go around-- it seems it could useful early in the LST process when the stems don't yet reach the sides of the...

In early LST, the main stem sometimes has the tendency to "move". I've found it easier to attach a horizontal anchor using this method rather than attaching to the edge of the container. I also like to tie small adjustable knots, which makes it very easy to do quick adjustments.

For fabric pots, I've started to tie a cord around the base to anchor LST hooks. I've found that this provides a little more "leverage" and I don't have problems where the top edges of the container flop over.

Yes and No. For the sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, CO2, etc...) there are scripts that you can download and use. But, in order to get everything to play nicely together, coding is required. For example, I found out (the hard way) that it's VERY important that your code consider various...

It's a Raspberry Pi 4 model B. I had originally started with a RPi Zero W, which works great, but I've been playing around with using Redis to store the sensor data for the dashboard and Redis requires a 64-bit OS. :D

I use a Raspberry PI to control and monitor parts of my grow tent. Not that I really need to, but I've been learning how to program in Python and I thought it would be a fun pandemic hobby to cobble together a system. Also, sensors for the RPi are shockingly cheap; I have temperature, humidity...

Week 10: NOTE: Plants have been flushed. As the trichomes look just about ready I have started to stop watering and let the plants dry out before harvesting. I also put the plant in darkness for 72 hours before chopping. Unfortunately, here is where I made a MASSIVE mistake. I allowed the...

Week 9: This plant is definitely a slow finisher. Midway through week 9 I began to gently flush the plants, getting them ready for harvest.

Week 8: By the end of week 8, the plants have started their fade. At this point, I'm checking the trichomes daily. Interesting, this strain had an overall low odor during flowering.

Week 7: NOTE: At the start of week 7 I did some light trimming in order to increase airflow.

Week 6:

Week 5: NOTE: Buds sites seem to be looking good. No signs of deficiencies. I have upped feeding to 4ml / L. I have also started with Big Bud and Bud Candy at 2ml /L

Week 4: NOTE: By the end of week 4, the plants had reached flowering stage. At this point, I started to feed at half dose (2ml per L)

Week 3: NOTE: At this point, vegetative growth is vigorous. I have not yet started feeding any nutrients. This growth is purely from the FFOF. It was during this week when I also began LST, which the plants responded quite well to.
