How long until you water them now after they had their Tea-bath?
It's a couple of things actually.A question for you Bob if you don't mind ?
With this soaking treatment, how come the plants don't suffer from overwatering ?
I mean, a lot of people have problem with this, so what is at work here ?
Your plants are so beautifully healthy, it's a pleasure to watch your grow !
Thanks mate!! They do, don't they. I'm really proud how they are turning out brother. Look at that frost! I've certainly hit the nail on the head with the VPD monitoring this time, something I'm going to educate my AFN friends about when asked aboutHaha I hold you to that mate
But all jokes aside, the plants look healthy though!
Thank youIt's a couple of things actually.
For one, I have critters wondering around in the soil. As soon as I saturate the soil, the worms want one thing and that's air. So they burrow to the surface creating passageways for air current to get to the roots. The bennies do all the hard work, but need to be fed. Normally the roots take care of that exchanging carbs for nutrients, but if you want to boost that, you can add carbs yourself. ie, Orgatrex is a really good source of carbs and other great stuff!.
Second and it's something I'm very passionate about this season, is VPD...If your VPD is just right, the leaves will evaporate water like a mf'r, which needs to be replenished. And so the roots take up water and nutrients. For the plant to use them nutrients and use them well instead of just storing them in leaves, which tend to turn dark green, you need the right amount of light and the correct VPD for it's age.
Which brings me to the third and final point, and that is DLI or the amount of light you are giving the plant(s) on a daily basis over the timespan of 24 hours. Young plants need less light then a flowering plant...
If you get all three points just right then you create a snowball effect in which your plant(s) will accelerate in growth, using up more and more water (and nutrients) as they grow. This creates more leaves and the story repeats...
Using the BioTabs nutrient line took away all the hassle about quantities and measuring and opening up a lot of time to spend on other things. I suggest you spend some time reading up on VPD and learning how to implement it into your growing technique. You'll be amazed at the results.
These sites have tought me a lot LINK LINK LINK
You can buy all sorts of VPD monitoring kits, but as I told you once, I'm willing to help you out with a custom Blynk setup
Thanks mate!! They do, don't they. I'm really proud how they are turning out brother. Look at that frost! I've certainly hit the nail on the head with the VPD monitoring this time, something I'm going to educate my AFN friends about when asked about
Last time they took four days before I needed to water them again. I'm thinking they won't take this long this turnaround...Look how they already filled out.

I'll order the parts buddy. I'm building a more complex model for the greenhouse with multiple measuring points. Planning on doing some automation so I can go on holiday. Might as well build a sensor for you and send it your way. Got room enough on my Blynk server for that sensor and your phone to connect to. Cannot make it easier then that
It took two days brother. The pots weren't completely dry, but light enough that a watering was warranted. Noticed that the VPD was rising from 1.14 to 1.37. The temperature was the same so only one thing could be the culprit. So I divided 5L dechlorinated water between the 15 pots and recovered about 0.5L from the tray afterwards...
) and got a full whiff of limonene. Something I've noticed in the past with many a cultivar. This almost never stays or at best get's pushed to the background in favor of other terpenes. I do feel that the smell I noticed when opening the tent is the one I'm going to end up with in the jar, at least I do hope so 
I can watch these for hours mate. I always make one whenever I download (so every day) from the camera from where I finished the last time. This way I can see how the plants respond to my actions with the light, fan, feeding and so on. Changing one or the other can have different results, keeping the ladies lush and green.
From seed to harvest it is between 8/9 weeks . I would say you will have some plants ready in around 3/4 weeks by looking at them .Oh, question for you buddy?
How long do the S.o.S. usually take? I'm guessing four weeks at least...maybe five?
I'm asking because I've got something interesting coming up, but there could be a startdate coupled to that
But I do know that my buddy @Antonio_DutchPassion is a very nice guy and he might give me a week or two extra to finish this grow the proper way
Any time mate. I enjoy the learning from the videos you make. I get to see my creations on a time laps which is cool af. Thanks mate .I can watch these for hours mate.

I'm really glad you didn't give up on me, thanks
