Day 10: 2nd of 3 toppings done, all growing tips removed, except the 4 at the ends of the 2 mains.
Standard approach is to also remove fans at nodes where growing tips are removed. I left them on, for now, to boost photosynthesis.

96s:
Hoping to do final topping in 9-12 days....
If these babes grow like mama, it’s gonna be a jungle in these tents!

Hey baliboy
@Frank Cannon , i expect to receive my new growtent heaters today:
For my tents that aren’t on environmental controllers. I’ve ordered each of these to test, thanks to a post by
@schmebulock :

Temp & Humidity:
One thing to keep in mind if you use any of these, is that whatever machine you are trying to control needs to be one that will turn on without human intervention. For example, the 4L ultrasonic humidifiers i am using in most of my tents do not turn on without me pressing a button....these controllers are worthless for them.
I really like this humidifier, cuz it turns on without intervention, and also has it’s own variable volume controller:

LOL InspectorGadget, so if you don't make me buy new lights then its even more gadgets
I have a bit of time so I'll follow your links and then wait for your feedback before I jump the gun like I seem to be prone to
Thanks for the tuition on the recent topping above, I actually understood that with out the need for Prawns club, amazing really.

In the process of building a humidifier, so this post comes in handy
I've ordered one of those humidifier/atomizer donut-thingies and suspect you use something alike in that bin and have the fan blow the vapour out the hole?
