Day 34
Tall 84 cm
Captured last moments in old growing space and first moments in new growing space with Telos 0006. Tent Light House 76 × 76 × 180 cm. Telos is fixed at highest posible spot, 55 cm above the plant.
There was not much space left in old tent, she needed more so here we go. Didn't plan it btw.

Day 36, 5 weeks old plant
Tall 88 cm
Here things happen as it goes.
I had Princess for one whole day under Telos 0006 but decided I like it better old way, in small tent, under HS1, incognito, simple and out of eye & ear sight.
Telos has to wait more to be in action but it was nice to see it working. It produces a lot of heat above it and it had only 5 cm above space while at 55cm distance from the plant. S&P TD 160/100 silent extractor fan was perfect for controling the heat in the tent while producing very good negative presure but being in the midle of small studio, it was:
1. Very visible - you cannot miss it
2. Still to much noise for being next to me and not having silencer.
This way, old way, there are slim chance any unwanted guest would notice anything.
Security first, Telos second.
I did change few things in old tent settup, managed to rise a bit more HS1 light so with 88 cm tall plant it is now some 19 cm gap. I may need to bend the main cola if it gets too close.
The good thing about moving the plant to new tent and new light, it stoped streching and kept the same high of 84cm all the time under Telos. Only ones it was moved back it eventialy grow new 4 cm, giving me a bit more time to deal with ceiling issue while plant will be some 5-6 cm shorter than otherwise, all beneficial for my situation.
Temps in tent are now at midd 28C but for sure will go above 30 in coming days. New CO2 product on the way so plant will benefit from higher temps.
Trying to expose to the light as many budding spots as I can wih gentle defoliation but not too much.

I wish I am using Telos which deffinitely is a beast. I was planing to buy a cable and will do at some point. But for now I feel much more comfortable with HS1 settup which is totaly out of the way.

Your plant is looking very good and flowering has started nicely. You can always supercrop your main stem to provide more clearance to your light. Pity you can't used the Telos at the moment. It seems like a very good light. The S&P TD Silent fans are amazing. I started with the TD125 and now use the TD500.

Yes, those are my favorite fans as well.
I remember when I first time visited grow shop and got all equipment at once, they sold me some very poverful old fashion extractor fan which I pluged in electricity just for a second and never again and throw it straight in the garbage. Noise level was industrial, way too much for incognito grow. Than I found S&P TD 160/100 silent, it was like vispering sound for my ears.
Just, I understand TD 160/100 and 250/100 cannot be used with speed control beside 2 speeds option that comes with a fan.
Those ones you have work with speed controler, right?
I like to connect fan straight to odor filter with other end of the fan as close ad possible to the exit, preferably with silencer once I can have that set up

Day 43, 6 weeks old NL auto Nirvana
Tall 96.5 cm
Light distance after hard reorganisation of carbon filter and its inline fan for extracting the air, is now at healthy 17cm.
Plant is now in full flowering mode.
Smart CO2 bag is new edition.
Only feed from adding 2 biotabs in week 3 was two days ago. 20ml Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex deluted in 0.5l water. This may do the work till harvest. All other times is plain tap water staying under the sun for at least 2 days. Didn't use CalMag jet.
