Week 7 update: I have to hold the camera over my head to get these shots as the plants tower over me now.

The power outage we had last week knocked out my Arduino controller and I have been turning the lights off/on by hand. So yesterday I took it upon myself to fix the problem. It turned out that the real time clock module just needed a new battery. I was all prepared to rebuild the entire thing. Just popped in a new battery, uploaded the program and all is well . The controller is capable of running the lights, CO2, and exhaust fan. I have not run CO2 in a long time because I do not have enough light to take advantage of it and frankly the ROI is not worth it. For those of you not around 3 years ago when I built it this is what the controller looks like.

@Maria Sanchez Hi Maria! thanks for the compliment. What is up in your gorilla grow?

Great looking grow so far ManOGreen!

Do you find that water capacity is inconsistent in your 6 inch cubes?

I am using 6 inch pargro cubes this round, and even though I watered them all to capacity and let them drain, they seem to have some significant differences in how much water they hold.

Some of my cubes weigh 1900 grams when fully soaked then drained, and others as low as 1300. It probably won't make a difference once I start daily watering, but it is a bit weird and unexpected.

Hi @Animatey welcome to my grow. I don't water like that. I use an automated precision drip method that applies the same amount of fertigation to each cube every day. It is a slow process to enable the capillary action to wet the entire cube to ~20% run-off every day.

Here are some update pictures. I had to get up on a step stool to take most of them!

I did a little clean-up low on the plants and this is a sun leaf off of one of the Dinafem OG Cookies. The Blueberry Cookies had leaves just as big. The place mat is 12" x 18"
