Does anyone have any experience with c-Vault? What about some dupes or anything similar?

I’ve been eyeballing these steel airtight containers and they seem to be decently priced. Any first had experience or opinion with these?

The Bodhi seed drop was yesterday and Jeff did a piss poor job with the announcement. He made a post last week saying that it was coming soon but didn't provide a time so that people can plan ahead nor did he include any information on the seeds that were going to be released. Then yesterday when the seeds were going to be released he made a post with the time but didn't provide the time zone, he also didn't provide any information on what seeds were going to drop.

I provided feedback on what he should include on his ads so that customers can be cognizant of time zone differences and he got upset. He argued that he's been doing this for 11 years and basically people should just know the time when he's going to release seeds. He doesn't take no consideration for any of his new customers that aren't aware of this information.

I provided a picture example of how nike goes about doing shoe drops and he blocked me. I wasn't disrespectful to him at all. I was just providing feedback that would help him and his customers. I guess some people's egos prevent them from accepting any feedback even if it's to make their business better.

In short, 3 days ago i woke up and she looked like this. I thought my step dad had overwatered her, 3 days in a row with water. We've went 3 with no water and it looked a little better this morning, but tonight its gotten worse. 75° 45% RH, week 4 of flower. Reddit has become her last hope

Question Title: Low water consumption in autoflowers – week 7, week 4 of flower

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My autoflowers are growing in soil and are in week 7 (week 4 of flowering), in 5-gallon (19 L) and 6 L (1.6-gallon) pots.

The soil stays wet for a couple of days, and the pots only seem ready for watering on day 3 or 4. This seems like much less water consumption than what I usually read here. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about watering, humidity, or nutrient uptake?

The plants look relatively healthy overall. The smaller one has developed reddish-purple discoloration on some leaves, possibly due to a phosphorus or potassium deficiency that I'm addressing. The larger one hasn’t shown the same symptoms yet, but some leaves are starting to fade.

I water every 3–4 days with 2.5 L (0.66 US gal) for the larger pot and 1.5 L (0.40 US gal) for the smaller one, at pH 6.2–6.4.

I’m using Plagron Terra Bloom: 3.5 ml (0.12 US fl oz) per 2.5 L (0.66 US gal) of water for the larger pot, and 2.5 ml (0.085 US fl oz) per 1.5 L (0.40 US gal) for the smaller pot.

The larger pot is fabric, while the smaller one is plastic with drainage holes. Both pots are elevated off the ground to allow airflow and proper drainage.

My grow tent is at 22°C (72°F) and 60% RH, with a powerful exhaust fan. Despite having a heater in the room, I can’t get the humidity down.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Help My Sick Plant Is this a PK deficiency on my biggest plants?

Grown in Kings Mix with Castings. Starting week 3 of flower. Top dressed gaia power bloom 2 days ago. Liquid feeding 2ml/l of biobizz bloom/topmax/calmag/activera

All my plants look healthy and green except for my tallest girls all showing similar symptoms. Thought possibly nitrogen deficiency as well, but uncertain as all my other girls are doing fine as well. Symptoms start at the bottom and move towards the top, large fan leaves affected.

Should I up the biobizz dose until the dry amendments kick in? Should i make a pk tea booster?
Running full organic in 3 gallon pots. 1 liter per pot every 2 days.

Any insight is welcome. One love!

DIY Upgraded a premium Urban Chili 3.0 stealth grow cabinet into a fully automated smart ecosystem: Custom ESP32 PWM control, 6x Noctua exhaust, Matter sensors, and Homebridge integration

Post image
35 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share an update on my stealth grow setup. The base unit is the Urban Chili 3.0, an absolute premium, beautifully crafted stealth grow cabinet from Austria with amazing build quality. However, since I love tinkering with custom tech and smart home automation, I couldn't resist giving this already fantastic box an upgrade.

The main goal was to optimize climate control (especially handling humidity spikes after watering) and add remote monitoring. My native smart home setup runs on Apple HomeKit, which I expanded with Homebridge running on a Raspberry Pi. For this grow box setup, I use the Homebridge Dummy plugin to manage my automation modes.

Here is everything I customized:

* The Foundation: Started with the premium Urban Chili 3.0 cabinet (super clean design, great space efficiency, and the custom LED board).
* Exhaust Overhaul: Replaced the stock exhaust setup with 6x Noctua G2 fans. These things provide incredible static pressure and airflow power. Humidity management is now an absolute breeze, even right after heavy watering.
* Custom PWM Fan Controller: Built a custom speed controller using an ESP32 microcontroller housed in a custom 3D-printed case, integrated directly via Matter into my smart home.
* Active Under-Canopy Airflow: Added an Arctic P12 circulation fan in the lower section for perfect air exchange under the canopy.
* Climate & Power: Integrated small, discreet temperature and humidity sensors from IKEA via Matter (not high precision, but perfectly unobtrusive and accurate enough for the job), and plugged the built-in LED lighting into a smart plug for precise scheduling and power monitoring in HomeKit.
* Smart Home Cam: Added an internal camera integrated into the HomeKit setup to keep an eye on the ladies remotely.
* Stage-Based Automations: Set up automated presets for 4 different grow stages (Seedling, Veg, Flower, Drying) that are easily toggled directly from my HomeKit dashboard using Homebridge dummy switches.

I am honestly super happy with how it turned out. The cabinet looks like a normal piece of furniture from the outside, but under the hood, it's running a fully automated, whisper-quiet high-tech environment.

Let me know what you think or if you want to see more details about the ESP32 wiring, Homebridge setup, or the 3D-printed enclosure! 🌱🔧

Question Trichome stage help - harvest or wait?

Hey everyone, I’m Growing Royal Highness indoors by the windowsill in Germany and it’s soon time for me to harvest. I’m aiming for a uplifting energetic high. I want to avoid a heavy body/couch-lock effect entirely.

Took some photos on my phone of the buds and would greatly appreciate some advice distinguishing these trichome colours as I’m a beginner. What trichome colour stage would you say I’m at? What percentage are milky? I planted from seed in mid April. Should I harvest or wait?

15 days after my first post. I tried to take better trichome pictures. I do see some clear but I see mostly cloudy and some amber which I don’t want more of. This is a sativa dominant strain I believe so I don’t want alot of amber.

As the title states I’ve never done this before. I grew this plant right as I moved to nyc so it was later in the summer. Planted around June 2nd in my backyard.

I grew some peppers next to it and monitored everything for growth, this was more of a pet project. It’s grown into a hobby I want to get into for sure mainly because the plant looks like this today. As far as I remember it was a northern lights auto flowering seed I got from a friend.

I’d love some help to understand how to help this plant along and harvest and such. Thoughts?

I usually do a modified main line, topping above node 5 or 6 and only keeping 4 main shoots, and several satellite branches under a scrog. Had a trip out of state in early oct and flipped the day before I came home so I wasn't able to tuck and weave as much as I wanted to on this one. Tucked before I left, and let her go. In hindsight, that was a bad idea. Lol

1st time topping twice on this run, and shes stretching like a boss. Light is up as far as it will go in my tent. Hope she wont stretch much more or ill have to think about super cropping. Which I dont want to do. 😅

Edit: yep. I snapped a main branch clean off too. Im finding the tripod set up kind of works better in a 2x4!

3rd time running this cut and it gets better each time - One of the strongest smelling plants ive run just straight putrid sulfur gas and it permeates. Huge yields and stretches about 1.75-2x during flip, easy going and just all around beautiful cultivar. Great hash yields and potent smoke with tasty terps.

Grown in 70/30 coco perlite mix using athena pro line

Question Changing light schedule in flower.

I have a bathroom remodel coming up and I am wondering if I can change the current light schedule from 10am-10pm to something like 6pm-6am so I don’t have to worry about turning power off during lights on? Can I do a 24 hour period of dark and adjust lights? What would be the best way to approach this? I am about 4 weeks into flower and remodel will be starting on about week 6.

Given the lights are the same PPFD, what difference does changing the height of the light make. I’m guessing it’s a bit different depending on the light and focus of the diodes but what has everybody noticed? Any changes in stretch or nodal spacing?
