I use 1.2x1.2 trays and if I have run off, I just drop a few sponges in the tray and remove after a few minutes. No need to raise the tray to drain and picking up the sponges isn't really hard work ^^ If you put a slight angle on the tray, one sponge per corner will do the trick. Just angle to where you can easy access.

Nice one! I have a 60ml syringe that I use when I put the plants back in the tent and the trays start to fill, but that's backbreaking

So I have been going clone crazy on these moms, got about 20 going at the moment and 4 established clones from my homemade protein tub cloner lol

2 weeks with a light 0.2 ec nute solution, then they go straight into moist coco and don't get water until they start basically dying/wilting. eb320a373194bd01ccc9f6d9095ccb10.jpg

So I cleaned up the Tortoni, banana Mac and Slurricane, flipped them yesterday under the qb. I am afraid I have left them get too big but I do have some space left if they really stretch, mainly worried about the slurricane.(Pics below)

I moved the remaining 3 moms to the smaller veg tent, and have 4 established clones going, but going to take more soon. (Pics to Follow)

My outdoor clones are all established and the roots are growing out the bottom of all of them so have some hard graff to do this coming week with the light hours moving pass the 12 hour mark, it's time to get my outdoor veg on!

3 week flowering update.

Tortoni growth is slower than the slurricane and banana. I sampled my outdoor tortoni and it's actually stronger then my slurricane! Super stoked about that.

New nursery area added, bye bye fish.

Sorry about lack of pic of tortoni, she is right at the back.

Happy with my new light. 052fd8193a182497d806b5a3d1dbf9a2.jpgee2b8c584ce8dd9e23b485af897979dc.jpg630789bd0130629805029a7bb9353b99.jpg1f7f71231387683bc64505226669e29a.jpg

So thanks to Eskom the girls are experiencing regular blackouts. This leads to two main problems:

1. Interruptions in lights on cycle being broken due to Eskom.

2.No circulation and extractor fan to combat my mold issues.

3.Sonoff wireless wifi switch not returning to correct previous on off state. Eg if your light cycle is 9pm on 9am off and your power goes out before 9am say 8-10h30 guess what, your light will switch back on at 10h30 because that was its previous state.

As a software dev with over 2 decades exp this only makes me slightly angry lol

Solutions.
1. Cost a backup system for 1 light, 2 circulation fans, no extractor.

2. Use MPK at 3g /l to combat mold and AQSF and weekly leaf stripping.

3. I'm going to just use a old timer and leave the damn light on 24 hours.

You can specify the Power on state of the Sonoff, however I don’t know if it will help with lights in terms of timing.
I have a few Sonoffs deployed here and there, on my dehumidifier it is set to “on” state.

My light are also on one, set to return to “off” when power is restored. (But they stay on, here is why) The Sonoff runs a 100w grow light which is powered via an inverter while the other lights in the tent are on mains. So when load shedding hits, at least there is a decent light to carry on while the power is out. Same inverter runs extraction and circulation fans.

Thanks man, but I'm flowering now, so if I set it to On it will have the same effect, turn on when it's not supposed to.

Week 5 update. It's growing lol
I think the late defoliation hurt my harvest, there is a distinct period in week 3-4 whereby the plant pushes flowers out and I probably took too much leaves off in an attempt to control mold, which is under control for now,just 9a328494a3e942a8bf046fa0d7caaa97.jpg
