And so we conclude this tale of the Little Flower Tent That Vegged, and our life-long friends have a tearful goodbye. Here’s the parting shot of the four going to flower – Chemdawg x Sunshine Daydream, Happy Mutant Blueberry, and a pair of Apollo 11.
They went nuts. Everything did. In the past 10 days, we changed seasons in this neck of the woods, and even though the tent is now on the chilly side (72ºf day, 64ºf night), that came with a humidity bump which put everything in a sweet spot. Vigorous, healthy growth. I swear that the ChemDxSSDD repaired its pre-repotting leaf damage… Anyway, I’m in good shape for flowering those girls – hope Weed Gods keep smiling upon me 
The whorled phyllotaxy Blueberry no longer suffers from post-training awkwardness, but she did turn out exactly as I’d hoped:
… and last but not least, the original veg tent is back (in pog form). After my summer of awful vegging, I decided it was time to ditch my improvised cheap LED + T5 setup, and I decided to give @Baudelaire’s SolStrips a whirl. In the end, he hooked me up with a complete, pre-assembled kit – 6 strips in all, 5k temperature, and dimmable power supply.
My initial impression was “OH MY GOD I’M BLIND WHY DID I PLUG THEM IN WHEN THEY’RE FACING UP.” Things were much better after I hung them up and turned down the current a bit… it’s shocking how cool they run, considering how much light they put out. Every so often, the future ends up being pretty neat.
Ahem.
As always, the thousand-word picture:
I’ve got a veg tent of growing, happy plants
It’s only been a week, so I don’t have a sense of stuff like internodal distance under 5k, but the girls look happy, and I’m happy, too.
