Yesterday I was planning to erect another small tent, apply all the accoutrements, and split the girls up. Everything was delivered as expected except for the filter. Bottom line, perfectly ok with that.
Assembly was pleasantly simple and easy.
I wish I could’ve squeezed a larger tent in here, but larger would’ve crowded me out of the room. Bad enough as it is.
I have more fabrication to accomplish and improvements to make, but we’re getting there. At least I don’t think I have to buy anything else at the moment for this setup.
Very pleased with this AC Infinity tent. The front opening is very handy and efficient, unlike my previous purchase. Also unlike the last, there are no light leaks and the zippers operate easily. I dig it.

So glad I’m not the only one. I built an entire ebb and flow system for 2 plants with what I had left over from my old home brewing days.

Looks good! Is the new tent a 3x3?

Close. It is a mongrel - 36” x 20” x 62”.

Working hard today to catch up with the girls’ care. Most I ignored until the new tent arrived. Then, it was life events.
Days of life:
LSD 69
Blueberry 52
Blue Cinderella 99 Fast 49
Aurora Indica 45
Everyone is officially no longer in veg
Flipped LSD 22 Dec and all Blues 25 Dec
Auroras started flowering 12 Dec
With the rapid growth and the changing weather outside, the climate battle has beeb challenging. Now fighting heat and humidity during light hours in the normally coldest room in the house. Then, the six hours with no lights heat must be supplemented. I staggered the light hours to best limit the heat requirements, but to also best match my “awake” schedule.
Performing defoliation, lollipopping, and a little LST. I am thinking the defol, which is very heavy, should help ease the humidity and consequently, the temp a bit, as the dehumidifier will run less.

Yes, the two girls in it could fill the 2x4 easily, I think. I chose to keep the Blue Cinderella 99’s in the 2x4, as they are described as potentially growing much taller than the LSD’s. Blueberry will likely be short, but she will have to hang with the BC’s. As of now, all three Blue’s are almost identical in growth, but one BC is larger.

Girls are really eating a lot. Wow.
I thought all the leaves and branches removed would help with humidity, but as of yet, uh uh.
Today’s pictures show almost no sign of the training and defol of the last two days. But, I think they look good.
Some weeks back Newt commented on the light coloring of some of the leaves. I did not address it, as the plants looked good otherwise. This was limited to the two LSD’s.
Well, I continue to research and learn. Here goes.
The nutes I am using have everything the plant wants except one thing - iron. Ground water and tap water have enough iron in them to meet the plants’ requirements… Almost always… But I think not here. My tap water is very low in minerals. Measures EC 0.1, and I don’t think there is enough iron in there for the LSD’s especially.
Anyway, three days ago I started giving those two Cal-Mag+ (contains iron). Looks like they are responding as I hoped. Starting today they all get Cal-Mag with their regular nutes. Also, last night I gave them all 150-250 ml of tap and dehumidifier water with Hoss Tools Micro-Boost (contains various minerals including a good dose of iron), Kelp Me Kelp U, and Fish Sh!t.
I also learned to not dilute the nutrient solution with pH water only (what I did a few times). Dilute with pH’d Cal Mag water from now on. I had not considered that some of the elements provided in lower volumes could be diluted too much. Usually only a problem with Calcium and Magnesium though.
Now I am mixing 12 gallons of “Vegetative Phase II” nutrients at a time, Normal (not Light or Heavy). All five photos get that, but I dilute it 2 parts nute to one part Cal Mag water for the autos.

Thanks Dman. I like it when a plan comes together. 
At least for the moment everything looks right.

Today’s project - a shelf for these girls. Sure makes feeding easier. Which is turning into quite a chore. I think it was about five gallons today.
Short tent so I had to rework the light. Remove the wire hanger it came with and hang with four separate lanyards.

Nice job Brother.

Need to check all the girls closely. Just noticed LSD 2 looks to be sporting pistils. Not positive, not the best picture, and I’m no expert.

Not in black and white would be most helpful.
