Thanks man, I'm loving this new hobby.

Yes it's a Wyze camera. I check it from my phone all the time through out the day. I also have an SD card in it so I can view the playback from the last 3 days. Allows me to see how the plants react and when they sag or whatever. I also have a hydrometer in site of the camera so I can always check the temp and RH. The camera allows me to check the tent without going downstairs or opening the tent.

Nice man. I don’t have the SD stuff but yeah I got the temp and RH in site Pretty much what I put it in there for. Also the mini heater I have running in there. Getting me more paranoid as the nights get colder and it running most likely more often than when it’s above freezing temps outside

I'm not really sure what would be best, it's what I had. I'm sure any of them would work.

im Using a cheapo Amazon one. HapSee I think it’s called. If I were to spring for a new one I’d go for something with a wide angle lens to view the tent better

Everything looks good except that one. Looks over watered, but it got less than everyone else and they all look good. Idk whats wrong with it. I'm not overly concerned cuz it looks like a male, but another week or so and I'll know.

The one thing that is going against me, is the height of this tent. Which I had to get because of my short ceilings.

With that being said, I am trying to keep the canopy 18" away while in flower. Which really doesn't give me much room to grow before the big stretch. I will be putting the trellis at about 6" above where the canopy sits now (ignore the couple tall ones). I super cropped the tops today to drop canopy even more.

Everything is looking great. Did a fairly heavy defol today and some more super cropping. They will ne getting thier 3rd dose of nutrients starting tomorrow. This batch is roughly 6.4 PH and 1000 ppm. I got PH up and down to fine tune my set up even more too. Still waiting for them to show thier sex, got a couple showing.

I am hoping to flip before the end of December. Before I do that, I need to weed out the males, transplant the females into larger pots, and fill as much of a scrog net as possible. Gonna be close.

I was going to wait to transplant them all, but I think I am going to transplant after the weekend. Fill the scrog and flip them in a couple weeks. I'm tired of waiting lol

It felt odd going into the nursery and picking up a bag of potting soil. Lol

Found 2 definite females, transplanted them today, the rest will wait until Monday and Tuesday. I'll have to get another bag or 2.

Found 5 more females today, transplanted them into 3 gallon pots, which will be their final spot. The 1 gallons still had plenty of room to grow, but I need to get the scrog up and ready for flip. Have yet to find a male plant, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm going to run out of space in this tent really soon.

I noticed a couple of the plants are curling the tips of thier fan leaves down, can anyone help me with what this is? Or is it nothing to worry about.

They got their first long night Tuesday, so Wednesday the 22nd was the first day of flower. Everything is looking good so far. I didn't take a picture on day 1 of flower, but I have some from a couple days before.

Week 2 started today. Everything is looking great. I found 1 male, so he got the chop. Made some more space in the net. They are starting to stretch nicely now.

Today is day 11 of flower. I pulled another male out this morning, that should be the last one.

I've been watching Jeremy from buildasoil on YouTube and I've learned so much while binge watching his grow series. It's really made me want to go to living soil on my next round. But I have some time for that. I watched him do foliar sprays, one being an IPM and another nutrient foliar. I did the IPM the other night and they got the nute foliar this morning.

Only stretched 6-8 inches so far, expecting another 6 - 8 of stretch this next week.

Whats up yall? Just been chuggin along here, looking good so far. I've pulled 2 males and 1 herm. Ending week 3 today of flower, so things are just about done stretching. I started defoliating yesterday, got 1 done complete and another almost done, ran out of time. Other than that I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. If anyone has questions or comments, don't hesitate to speak up.
