I was just thinking of that while trying to fall asleep last night. I knew I couldn’t be the only one thinking about it. Thanks for reminding me. Ima go play here in a sec…

I think sweets from IRIE Army was working on this a few months ago in the discord and smokers lounge

This is what it wants me to do with my current setup. (I told it all my available equipment and inputs)

### **Optimized SOP for No-Till Organic Cannabis Cultivation with Crop Steering Techniques**

#### **1. Setup and Environmental Control**

1. **Environmental Control:**

   – **AC Infinity Controllers:** Automate exhaust, humidity, and temperature.

   – **Timers:** For lights and manual watering schedule.

   – **Sensors:** Use temperature, humidity, and soil moisture sensors for real-time monitoring.

2. **Watering:**

   – **Manual Watering:** Use a 1-gallon pump sprayer for top watering.

   – **Sub-Irrigation:** Maintain the reservoirs in your 15-gallon containers.

   – **Moisture Management:** Monitor the top 3 inches of soil using the Ecowit soil moisture meter. Aim for a moisture level of 30-40%.

3. **Lighting:**

   – **Current Lighting:** 4x 100W HLG 100 Rspec full-spectrum LED lights.

   – **Height and Spacing:** Keep lights 18-24 inches above the canopy. Adjust height as plants grow.

4. **Lux Meter Usage:**

   – **Measure Lux:** Regularly use a lux meter to ensure 25,000-50,000 lux during vegetative and 50,000-80,000 lux during flowering.

   – **Cloning Process:**

    – Take healthy cuttings during defoliation.

    – Place cuttings in the aero cloner with plain water.

    – Maintain humidity at 70-80% and temperature at 70-75°F.

2. **Breeding Tent:**

   – **Separate Tent:** Use this space to house male plants for breeding purposes.

   – **Breeding Process:**

    – Move selected males to the breeding tent.

    – Collect pollen for controlled pollination.

### **Additional Tips:**

– **Batch Processing:** Handle tasks like nutrient mixing and reservoir refilling in batches to save time.

– **Record Keeping:** Keep a log of activities, observations, and adjustments to track plant health and optimize processes.

– **Health Monitoring:** Regularly inspect plants for signs of pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies.

By the temperature it’s telling you to use I can tell that chat GPT doesn’t know how to grow cannabis those flowering temperatures are way too low for the majority of the flowering cycle especially if you’re growing under LED lights and I don’t hit 65-70 until the end of the flowering cycle like the last 3 weeks
