Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 44 of 75. She’s getting sticky!! I couldn’t resist anymore and gave her a trim. She looks like she’s experiencing light stress, so I moved the light from 1600 PPFD to 1200 PPFD.

I found this through MaryLou’s suggestion of an under shower basin. It’s so close to perfect I ordered it.

I’m going to give that a look to see if I can get closer to the measurements than this one

Great idea, but cost prohibitive. But it did lead me to this… www.amazon.com/Wintogo-Port...

Growmies, I’m trying to figure out a creative solution for a tent tray in my 4x4 AC Infinity tent. The ones currently for sale at hydroponic stores are too expensive with shipping. Pictured below are the ideas I have come up with so far.

Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 43 of 75. Little miss got watered today with tap water treated with Seachem Prime, 1 TBSP of epsom salt, and 2 TBSP molasses. I noticed her lower leaves had copper spots on them. I suspect a Cal/Mag issue.

Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 42 of 75. Her little hairs are starting to change colors! Her flowers are moving from cute puff to troll doll hair!

Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 41 of 75. It’s a retying day. She smells a little sweeter and less like stinky cheese. This pleases me.

Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 40 of 75. Phew! She looks so much better after watering! The lowered light is getting in the way of me taking a decent overhead photo. Her flowers are at the cute puff ball stage!

Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 39 of 75. She got watered with 6.5pH tap water treated with Seachem Prime, 1 TBSP molasses, and 1/2 TSP of Recharge. I noticed her lower buds not developing as well so I moved the light closer. It’s at 1000 PPFD now.

It’s time for infused hot coco! I boiled my resin soaked glass bubbler in milk and then drank it with coco mix. I have no idea how strong it is. 🥴

If you attempt this make sure the milk is on low & stir frequently to prevent the milk from scalding.

Cadillac Rainbow Auto: Day 38 of 75. She received more retying and leaf tucking today. She’s stinky. 😁 I may have taken too many leaves. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️

Nice list! I did the same thing yesterday! A list is so handy. I hand wrote mine and did zero organizing except to separate out the autos from the photos. I need to do a more detailed one with the crosses information before I lose access to that information.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 37 of 75. I started trimming leaves that refused to be tucked before I realized I could widen her out more using LST. Luckily, I only removed a couple leaves.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 36 of 75. Her scent is gaining in complexity with the addition of pine and stinky cheese to go along with the skunk and gas I could smell earlier. She’s getting funky! 😁 I turned down the humidity from 55% to 50%.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 35 of 75. She stretched a bit more last night and doesn’t appear stressed from having the light closer. I did trim additional leaves that were blocking bud sites.

Cadillac Rainbow: Day 34 of 75. I was surprised by her smell! She’s skunky and gassy. I moved her light lower to accommodate for flowering. PPFD changed from 400 to 800. I trimmed leaves that were blocking flower sites or touching dirt.

3/3 I use both methods and a little inexpensive moisture sensors. They’ve been surprisingly accurate. Otherwise I would be killing them with my love. (Over watering)

1/3 I’ve had that happen. It freaked the crap out of me. They looked awful. This is when I thought I could grow three plants in a 2x2 tent. Romulan is in there on the left. They do bounce back fast. Here’s what I’ve learned. They are all individual with different needs.
