very thorough how does the 4" infinity work with filter attached? I ordered the 4" but read that when the filter goes on it has a hard time moving air. Can you give me some feed back? Thank you and good job on the day by day report it will help others realize their in good shape thanks.
Don't seem to have any issues with the filter and pre-filter cover. I ran the fan low all through veg and now have it set to 9 during flower. Environment has been on point almost the entire grow.

great job my friend, beautiful girls. thank you for taking the time to respond. I am on the fence but I'm leaning to the ac infinity 6" I figure just lower the speed when not needed and I have the power for future expansion. Any how your doing a great job thanks again.

That is a fantastic way to look at it and in retrospect I wish I had done the same. Oh well I can keep the 4" for a veg tent if/when I decide to get another tent.

Day 74 - 5/14/2020

Bumped up the total feed EC to 1.77 and I'm thinking they'll be fine. Mixed 3.5 tsp CalMag, 2 tsp Mega Crop, and 1 tsp Bud Explosion. It came out over 1.8 EC but added a small amount of water back in to bring it down.

One of the Auto Tangerine's is doing ok so far, the left side one is struggling to sprout and lose it's seed shell. Put a couple drops of water on it and see how it does today.

Day 75 - 5/15/2020

So the last feeding was just over the max feeding level for these girls I think. Just noticed the tiniest level of nutrient burn starting, so next feeding I'm going to be sure to stay below 1.7 EC.

The Auto Tangerine #1 still had the seed membrane stuck to it so the cotyledons wouldn't open up. I gently helped remove it and it's looking good now. Before: AT_5_15_2020.jpg After: AT_5_15_2020 (2).jpg

Little update on the little Auto Tangerine pair. The smaller AT#1 that I saved from it's seed membrane is looking good, smaller already then AT#2 though. I have no second timer for that light so they are doing 24/0.

Only 33 days since 12/12 flip!

Day 76 - 5/16/2020

Corrected the final EC reading to 1.67 for the watering. I had added a splash of CalMag to the water already because I wanted to give a little to the Auto Tangerine seedlings. It was an extremely light mix. I ended up adding just over 1 tsp more to the water. Added 2 tsp Mega Crop, smashed, mixed, and added 1 tsp Bud Explosion. Heard the new Mega Crop version came out and it's almost like a powder, no balls lol. Looking forward to trying that out. I still check the pH before feeding but it's not even necessary because it always comes out to 6.0 pH.

Great Journal!
I really liked the details, very educating.

Did you find the small Vivosun dehumidifier to be effective?
Is it worth getting one for a room that is with aircondition (to put inside the tent?)

The Vivosun dehumidifier is worthless. I'm struggling with humidity higher than I'd like so that thing should be constantly running. After 3 days it collected about a shot glass worth of water. Not to mention there is a large "C" logo on the front that is also a light, turns red if the tank fills and you don't empty it. Bad design especially if the plants are in flower. First thing I did was cover it with tape before I even knew if it was a light or not, it was hard to tell.

I'll have to come up with some other solution as that dehumidifier wasn't it..

Day 77 - 5/17/2020

Checked on the plants this morning and CG2 seemed to be really drying out faster just by visual looks. Pulled out CG1 (this poor lady is moved so much) and watered all the plants a small amount. CG2 though got a lot of water, it was very thirsty.

Auto Tangerine pair look to be doing well so far. They were pretty dry so I gave them a little bit of a light CalMag dose of water just for the C, Mg, and N.

Day 78 - 5/18/2020

Starting to worry about my RH in the tent, especially after watering. Two meters read between about 55%-60% RH. I think I have great airflow inside the tent and hope it's enough for now until I can figure something else out later. Nutrient mix today was little over 1 tsp CalMag (had some in the water from AT light mix), 2 light tsp of Mega Crop and 1 tsp Bud Explosion. Came out to exactly 1.67 EC and as always 6.0 pH.

During some canopy maintenance on CG2 I got resin on my hands from the leaves. Smells like Cherry Vicks. The smell is absolutely amazing.

To fix the high RH, I did a decent defoliation. It's 36 days from 12/12 flip, but probably close to 4 weeks in flower truely. Other than minor leaves here and there they will be left alone going forward.

Also, I ran a 4" intake with filter and fan into the tent and the intake air is from a drier area where it's 45% RH. So even after the full watering this morning RH inside the tent is down to 52.7% according to the Inkbird and 60% according to the AC Infinity monitor. The AC Infinity is probably a little more correct as those readings are close to the hygrometer in the tent with them. I tried combinations over and over with equipment I have here and it's the best I could achieve. We'll see how it goes.
