Love the videos mate .

Agree. Those time lapse videos really scratch that itch.

Thanks you guys
Question m8, should I start and remove some of them lowest leaves? Or do anything at all with these beautiful ladies?
I gave the remaining 1.5L water/Bactrex mixture to the plants. Not that they needed the watering, but I didn't want to waist them bennies. It was only 100ml per pot, so just enough to moisten the surface.
Also raised the light a bit, so I could turn it to 55%. This way the DLI doesn't change, but the temperature inside the tent does.
Since the ladies are transgressing into flower, I'm slowly starting to raise the VPD. I hope to be in the 1.1-1.2 by next week...But to get there I need to raise the temperature or lower the humidity by a whole lot. Since I can't do both very good. I'm trying to raise the temp by turning up the light output, while keeping the humidity as low as possible. This should keep the VPD within spec while the lights are on. If I can't keep the VPD good during the four hours of darkness, I'll rather do away with that and switch back to 24/7 lights on... We'll see that when we cross that bridge. Don't want mold, but guess you guys understand that like no other
Oh, and I went to the brewery store today and bought me a culture of bear yeast, which was 50% off because the best before date was approaching. Yup I like me a deal I doubled up on the liquid and boiled 9L water until 2kg sugar was dissolved. Then did everything the same as before. The bucket is just starting up and probably will be running at 100% by tomorrow. As a bear yeast, it starts up slower, but I can tollerate more alcohol then bread yeast. So less sugar get left over and more co² get's produced. At least, that's the thesis.

Yea mate go for it. I would do so to if the humidity is high . I always remove leaves if it's like a jungle.
You're plant's look fantastic mate so I'm sure you are very capable to do the best for them .

The smell inside, when opening the tent is very sweet, but subtle. Very enjoyable and a great foresight in what's to come...
DON'T F#(K THIS UP NOW BOB

Yeah, I can't complain mate
Today, morning was at 16:00 hours, meaning the light came back on after a four hour break...
Had some work ahead of me today, as some of the lower leaves had to be pulled because they were all starting to overlap with each other. But before I started with that job, I first rearranged some of the ladies. A couple of smaller pheno's were all placed in the middle of the tent and the largest pheno's where placed on the outside. That way the light is spread out more evenly and I don't run the risk of lightburning them big'ns

So after the readjusting the pots it was time to pull me some leaves...I started low...

...But ended up removing quite some fanleaves...They were thick, leathery after all. So good riddance

If you look from the top it all doesn't look so bad, right

This one was showing severe signs of being to hot...So relocation to the outskirts of the tent, away you go

All the small pheno's right in the middle.

These larger pheno's do like it on the outside...

One hour after lights on the values inside the tent are back to normal. Because of the severe defoliating I did opt for a bit lower VPD, kinda like stepping on the brakes. By tomorrow the VPD will be back around 1.03...
Co² is currently building, this takes a bit longer as the tent had been open for nearly an hour after lights on so...

Anyway...Hope you guys enjoyed

Thanks m8
Glad to hear that, because I've got another long one, but that's for the end of the show

Let's start with some technical stuff...
First I raised the light to it's max height inside the tent. To compensate that lift I dialed the light from 60 to 66%, that way the light sensor receives the same amount of light as before.
The extraction fan is easily dialed up or down. And once dialed in everything stays very stable. Also 13% is a variable to which I seem to return very often lately...

Also watered the pots as most of them where as light as a feather...

Only the inner pots and the one in front, in which the smaller pheno's are growing felt heavier.

So I took that into account and focused my attention to the outer rim....+bonus point for who can find the seven differences, hihi

Next, I wanted to show my ladies to ya'll

Almost in flower...But not yet

This one keeps showing these strange colored leaves...But always had everything the same as the others...Must be something I've done. It tickles me that I cannot put my finger on it...

The other larger pheno's have done most of their stretching. Preflowers are massively building and preparing for an awesome show

Everyone looks healthy and green. Looks like I've got the amount of light just right or at least I'm not burning anything and everyone is happy

One final top notch looking budsite before you guys settle down in the theater.... @Sawney_bean, buddy...The smell is amazing!!

Today's time lapse begins where the previous one ended and took about five days worth of pictures. Oh, also readjusted the camera and forgot to turn it back on...Next visit to the tent I'll start again, so there will be about half a day's worth gap which you guys will be missing out off...
Enjoy

Bob
