No CO2 sensor yet, that's towards the bottom of the long todo list. At the top of the list is to plumb an AC unit into this for cooling & dehum'ing. I have one of those portable rolling AC units and a plan, it should go well. (famous last words)

Stretch has stopped, nearing end of 3rd week. Just under 31" tall, no scrog this time.

Oh shit. Wishing I had the AC online but we'll manage.

We popped 4 seeds for this round. I choose 3 random bag seeds because I just wanted to do a dry run for practice, while my wife chose a seed from a local breeder friend, labelled (gelato 45 x watermelon zkittles)

Of the 3 bag seeds, one of them has started foxtailing pretty bad, no doubt from the excessive heat (30-32C). And the wife's plant seems to be thriving, go figure.

Did the ventilation shut down?
At least it's humid enough to not dry them out too much, eh? :D

I meant to rearrange the ducts/fans to improve air flow through the grow but I goofed with the orientation of one fan, and both fans ended up pushing air away from each other, hence no air flow at all. Doh!

A second random bag seed plant has started foxtailing. Don't care, as long as the wife's plant is happy...

Done & hung.

Wife's seed came out particularly good looking, despite a small amount of foxtailing at the end:

The other 3 random seeds are less good looking for various reasons, and the ones from under the 5000K lights are interesting

From the top, 236g from the "fancy seed", 212g from the random bag seed.
From the bottom, 86g and 90g from those two bag seeds. Flowering under 5000K is not worth it.

(All weights only bucked & untrimmed)
