The Ac Infinity oscillating fans got delayed until tomorrow so still waiting on them. Got the orders done for the tent though. Picked up the 69 Pro wifi controller along with their UIS plug for the humidifier. Will be nice having exhaust, fans, temp and Rh controlled through one controller and my phone from now on. Just have to wait until mid January for it all to show up :(

The fans came in today. We'll, sort of. Luckily the people down the road are cool cause they got delivered to them instead of me...

Anyway, The fans are really well built from the looks of them, move air more like my tower fans than my old clip ones, and otherwise seem to work as advertised. Will be interested to see if they last...

Nice, I like the way they hook onto the poles, that's a big improvement over standard clip fans. If they hit the 1 year mark of 24-7 on without issue, I might buy some. Already saw some negative reviews reported on other forums but I'll keep an open mind. Keep us updated!

The ac infinity 69 pro controller came in. Upgraded from the 67 Bluetooth controller. Really nice features. Love the VPD setting and .1٪ incremental changes you can do with it. Now I can keep an eye on stuff while outside smoking thanks to the wifi on the 69 pro.

Plants are finally big enough I was able to remove the humidifiers today. Right @ 440umols, 87F air temp, 82 leaf temp, 65-70rh, .9-1.1vpd.

Still in the early stages but the Granddaddy PurplexBruce Banner is getting unruly enough that it was time to put up a net and take some center leaves out. The original glue is just starting to take off. Loving the new setup. No complaints yet.

I decided to turn the 5x5 closet I was using before into a veg/drying room, so I ordered a 3x3 infinity tent to put inside here.

Should give me the room to veg the 5 plants I want to run while the others are finishing flower, and then I'll use the tent to dry everything out once it's chopped. Should be setup by next weekend.

Everything is looking pretty good, but I did notice a little yellowing on the leaf tips of the largest plant, so I emptied the reservoir and am going to start feeding @ around full strength of 2.2-2.4Ec.

I was able to get the new 3x3 veg tent setup. It's a really nice fit for the closet.

I set some cinder blocks under the catch tray to keep the buckets away from the cold cement. I'll eventually put a 4" exhaust in here once I'm ready to start something new, but for now it's serving as a humidor for some leftover stuff I still have from the last grow.

The GDP x Banner plants are a really leafy strain so I'll be defoliating them later today to help airflow/RH and toss up some before/after pics.

Had to take a smoke break but I've managed to make it 1/2 way through defoliating. Glad I'm getting it done. With my system reading 61RH and the fans under the canopy there is still water setting under every leaf that's touching.

It's a shame to cut off such nice looking 11 finger leaves.

Got the defoliating finished up. It's not the best job in the world but my back kept saying it was time to finish. I don't think I went too rough on them so they should hopefully bounce back in a couple of days.
Topped the Original Glues too so if all goes well everything should get flipped in 2 weeks.

I've been having nutrient issues during late veg and flower for quite some time now. I've looked back to when my plants looked healthy to me and there have been 2 changes. I went from HPS to Led which I always figured was the problem so I've always been chasing issues. But I'd forgotten I used to use Tap water instead of RO.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe I've been missing out on some macro nutrients because of this, so since I'm starting to see issues now I flushed everything out, got ph levels back in spec and am now switched over to just tap water and Jack's. Hopefully I'll see these minor issues beginning to disappear in a week or so.

Smoke, you seem to be about the same stage of growth as I am. I am running a 6 pot ebb and flow system. I hope to start flower next week. Looking good there my friend. If you get a chance check out my journal.

@smoke How are those new fans working, I am looking!
They're great so far.
My only complaint as of yet is you can't remotely control the oscillation function through the app. It's a minor inconvenience, but would be nice considering they recommend you only run it for 18hrs on 6hrs off to give the motor a chance to cool down.
Besides that, so long as they withstand the test of time I highly recommend them. Well worth the extra $$ compared to the white fans from Amazon.

Can you tell me where you got them?
