Starting week 6 of flowering tomorrow and figured I should post some photos of progress.

This is my first grow and I'm treating it as a fun starter project. I wanted to do my own research and use the community when I felt it necessary. I tried to limit a lot of the info I shared because I didn't want flame wars erupting over something I'm having fun with. A couple community members have been very helpful with my inquiries and I think the girls are looking alright. Big thanks for the help!

I learned a lot with this grow and I'm sure the community will laugh along with a lot of my mistakes. Choosing to do 7 plants in a 2x4 tent with 3gallon pots being one of them. I've done defoliation but damn do they keep growing. 4 or less nest time, like the smart people. Choosing 3 different strains and hoping to harvest them all at the same time is another laughable one that I'll probably end up regretting down the line. All of these little things were/are fun learning experiences.

I set up a Blumat system because of holiday travel but it seems to be working great. I hand water when doing my feedings but other than that Blumat seems to be dialed in pretty well. I may increase the watering a little since I'm oxygenating the water and a plant or 2 looks a little less green(fan leave pic included). I just added the dehumidifier because my RH levels were starting to sit around 67+ in the day. They are down to 58-62 daytime RH the last couple of days, so it seems to be working just enough.

I'm hoping the home stretch goes well. If there are any glaring problems that anyone sees please feel free to point them out. Otherwise, thanks for checking it out.

Setup:
- 2x4x5 tent
- AC 6" inline fan
- 6" Kootenay filter
- SP SF2000 light
- clip fan over canopy
- Osculating fan under canopy
- Donatello Dehumidifier

Medium:
- Coast of Maine Stonington blend in 3g pots
- Cal/mag
- Blumat water system w/airstone res
- Buds and Blooms Feeding(weeks 1,3,5)

Strains:
- KC brains Mango
- Blueberry
- Obama Kush

How long did it take to get the blumats dialed in? Have any run away carrots?
They set pretty well on the first install. I hand checked the weights of the grow bags a couple times and opened the Blumats up until I felt the weight of the bags was a little less to fully watered. I checked a couple weeks later by doing a watering to see how quick it would run. Got through about 1/4 gallon before I started seeing water run off. I could probably go even more but I don't want to worry about runoff.

It's my first grow though, so I don't know if it's "dialed in" perfectly for my plants but everything seems to be good and I never really hand water beyond feeding. All of the carrots are working fine. The only thing I really have to worry about is filling the res every 2-4 days. I do also check to make sure there are no busted carrots from time to time.

What are you using for a res?

Week 8. Last feed on 12/8. Just waiting for the amber to show up. I'm sure the things I've learned will result in a lot more in the future but I'm happy with the way they're looking so far.

Looks good man. From the looks of it without looking at trichs you probably have a few weeks those hairs that are brown are just starting to recede. Plus a ton of white hairs. They will honestly swell alot more too within a week or 2

Thanks! I thought the same about time, trichs are about 50% cloudy. Glad to hear that the buds will be swelling up more.
